ahh sorry, i have no idea about mk3s at all!!

"car: clio 1.2 TCE 08"......................does that mean you own a mk3??? if so then im tagging out!! lol

What does the little plug (not the big red wire) on the alternator do?? is it meant to only have a single wire coming out of it? on my ph1, its a two pin connector, but only has a white wire coming out of it, it also has what looks like a green wire that has sheered off right as the base of...

i assume before you look at buying expensive discs and pads for "more stopping power" youve already swapped for the 280mm 172 brakes?

never wait around with these things!! :) and nah, ive just cut the pas pipes out the way for now, i probs wont look at the rack until i drop the entire subframe next easter :( short of maybe fitting my engine mounts so i can bin the old ones, getting a new belt on and maybe modding the loom to...

the standard catch is still there, i just added the pins because i was worries about the boot flexing!! lol heres one or two pics from todays work!! i stripped all the ancillaries off the engine until she was completely naked!! (filthy slut) then i added (as you can see in the pic) two...

if you just want to learn, and not want to drive.... buy broken 172s on the cheap, break them for parts on here and on ebay, learn clios like the back of your hand, AND make money!! id say 70% of my knowledge about cars is from stripping them down for parts or repair!! theres no point...

Welcome to CS, as said theres loads of us from essex, im alas from more down southend-on-sea way! lol

if you want more power, look into converting it!! F7P will drop straight in and be picked up for chips! F7R will be just as easy to fit but engine costs slightly more and harder to find! F4R can also be picked up easily for a bit of money but custom downpipe and wiring may be needed!! In the...

i love the look!! going to do the front bumper too tomorrow as one of the mounts has torn off and it cant be refitted properly!!

cheers dude!! i know what you mean, that bonnet was mint before i touched it! ;) luckily i havnt had a chance to really fall in love with the car yet!! and tbh, it came with a big hole in the exhaust so there was a bit of grunt there, but i yearn for more!! and bucket seats!! and its only a...

i know what you mean dude, gives it such a "track car" look!! im tempted to leave it off, i will for now and see if the look wears on me! lol

also note, though i personally dont mind the look of her without the grill, ive only left it out because ive got new headlights on the way and cant be bothered to put it back on purely to take it off again when the headlights get here!! also fitted side repeaters and silvervisions!! lol

job for me?! lol little update!! since the weathers been so forgiving (if bloody cold) ive tried to get as many little jobs here and there as i can!! it took me a whole day to fit the bonney catches shamefully, theyre really iritatingly hard to line up nicely, theyre still not perfect because...

oops, clearly searching the wrong thing!! lol what was the general concenus??

sounds good as it is!! pops and bangs map is for posers!

sorry but ceased?! there are places that will do a rebuild depending on the brand!

stancing a car with no performance base = win! standing a performance based car = fail thats my rule of thumb, but my guilty pleasure is......i do think it looks quite cool :o

most arnt as bad as all that, please wait the extra month and get some really nice wheels, some nice big dish with an impractical offset, cough up £12 and be a real member so you can watch the for sale section for cheap coilovers/wheels

ill give you massive man points for 1 thing.... taking the CS abuse with a brave face!! so many people get their cars hated and turn it into a massive flame war, but you seem to have taking the CS sheep squad very well dude!! as for the car, im afraid im gna side with everyone else and say...

Ok had a little day on the clio today! nothing too majour as i dont really want to get under the car until i know i can get everything done!! first point of call was those horrible locking wheel nuts!! However a bit of this, lead to a bit of this and eventually they were all no match...

so you're commenting on the validity of the video footage by refrencing something you read on the internet by what is clearly an idiot chav trying to defend beating seven shades of s**t out of a low life?! i cant see how you can see a broken nose and broken leg on self defence when theres a...

2 doors and a wing painted problem solved, i would understand giving him a bit of a slap, but breaking his leg, and his nose is a bit of an over reaction. lol at the person saying "youre going to prison" for vandalism, when theyve just commited GBH!! (or the american equivelant of GBH, which...

cheers dude!! im sure ill get stuck on something with the F4R before too long, this is the first one ive ever owned!! :P the lockers look like this ill get you a pic of the actual ones tomorrow, ive got a set of these in the garage, so ill chance using the key from that, but i dont hold...

pretty sure renault had a quite a few different sets with slightly different keys!! i have set of similar lockers in the garage off a standard renaul so ill try those, hopefully ill strike lucky, otherwise ill try and smash a normal socket onto them, or trailer it to a garage just for them to...
