Can be heard from 2 miles away. Fact.

Oh, in the front bumper? Yeah I've not got those bits. Modern Audis seem to be very garishly styled. Not helped by Audi owners trying to make them look even worse as well.

I'm not from Braintree, but ouch!

High idling problem sounds like an air leak, or a sticking throttle body.

But how will people know that I am so dedicated to helping the environment by reducing my weight, and therefore emissions, that even my wing mirrors are made of aluminium?

Mines been standing 3 months now. It's undercover which helps, but all I do is start up once a month, let it run for half an hour and get it up to temperature. Seems fine for the time being.

Oh the uneducated. f**king epic machine, shame the admin didnt like n0rms views on culture tbh. Edit: ....Jesus. It is a bored out 1.8 from an Audi TT, that last ran 470 odd bhp.

80 grit should get it off.

If you buy a fiat 500 you should save enough for a decent pair of coilovers

His 225 is on the megane equivalent of the 182 wheels. They ain't 16"s. Kind of looks like you've failed there.

I've done this before. It's annoying, try pulling away the top of the door frame and use some long sturdy wire to reach inside and push either of the window switches on the drivers door card.

Have all his clios got downs?

This is why I wouldn't track the S4, nor would I spend stupid amounts on making it unpractical as a road car. I've still got the Clio to rag around ;) I see what you're saying about resale costs, and that in theory you can recover a lot of the initial purchase, but it's still a lot of money to...

If I may offer my two penneth. There is a lot of money being thrown around in here, talking about RS2 manifolds and throttle bodies. So lets take an average TB conversion, £2500 including ECU? You're looking at a 20-25bhp gain over a healthy 182. Good linear torque curve, and healthy amounts of...

Don't be daft. It's not worth £35, I'll give you £20. Cash waiting, send me your paypal address. Best offer you're going to get. I'm a c*nt. iirc.

Said no straight man ever.

Mad! Charge cooler is probably the more sensible option to be fair, considering the position of the engine and lack of air flow for intercoolers. Heat will be your friend in there, that's for sure!

I've just read your post properly. That is a serious amount of work required. I'd be very tempted to stick with tried and tested methods.

Jesus. Heroic choice of engine. It's epic in an S4, will be a riot in a clio! I'm predicting KO4's and RS4 intercoolers in the side pods?

That explains the race exhaust.

Handbrake cables work wonders.

"This is what you get when you drive around in redneck county" ...no, this is what you get when you look and sound like a tw*t.

You've wanted to sell your clio more often than I have Paul! If you're wanting to buy a car as a financial investment, you're onto a loser straight away. Your money is safer elsewhere.

What you want Paul, are a set of 16" pro race 1.2s that I just so happen to be unofficially selling:

TNW is a new one on me. They did do some models of clio which were a "sport" but entirely different from the RenaultSport brand.

Accept the fact that you're a young lad with expensive insurance, and lucky enough to have someone risking their insurance policy to have you as a named driver. Since this is the case, I'm going to assume the car isn't yours either. In which case, be grateful you have a car at all.

Yeah it's his pride and joy. Only ever seen pictures of it though. Everyones told me I need to meet him since we're both obsessed with cars. Keep it up with the scirocco, be good to see the finished article!

Try having the same thing happen doing 60 down an unlit country road. Bricks were shat.

Loving the dedication to this. Most people start a project of this size and sell all the bits on within 6 months. Theres a guy who lives next door to my mum with an orange mk1 Jetta that I guess would tick all the boxes for you. Meant to be quite a famous one?

I think it's a good starting point. Knowing how all you're other cars have turned out, I don't doubt this one will be smart when it's sorted as well.
