Ive sacked it off for being under the thumb instead but my housemates going so if you see a grey 5 g***sto tell him its too low and must be rubbish on back roads:).

Just put some Tarox rear brake pads on and they came without the threaded holes for the pad retaining bolts. I know its not ideal but do you reckon I can get away without them? The inner pad doesnt have them so I cant see why the outer is any different. cheers.

Got mine from Renault dead impressed even has the blue Ws on the seats but then I am easily impressed...

I asked for 185/55 eagle f1s and they couldnt get a seal. they put 195/50s on in the end. I know this isnt fully scientific but they stacked 4 eagle f1 185s against the 185s that came off and the f1s were loads narrower. The grip in the wet is amazing but in the dry while they grip well I am...

Without trying to be too patronising look in your servicing book the one with all the stamps in it has a list of what needs to be done dont think 84k is particularily special. As a guide Renault wanted £210 for a oil change and a bit of a poke around (a 6k service) normal garages about £70-£80...

My favourite one was overtaking a load of trucks on the A5 in my old golf gti. There was a lot of trucks and ended up doing !15. Saw an old carlton in my mirror, it pulled alongside, the guy grinned and left me like he was pulling away from the lights! It had a funny yellow and green badge on...

I had a clifford concept 300 fitted cause I though they had a good name but I agree with the above its rubbish. Had a few problems with starting that I think was down to the immobiliser. I know a lot of it is down to who installs it but considering i paid a premium for the name its lame...

willy 4-1 is better for top end but valver 4-2-1 is better for mid range torque. So a valver with a willy manifold would be gutting low down while the extra stroke of the Williams helps torque so is okay all round. From the cat back the exhausts are the same I thought. I think Nick from Hill...

Ive never driven any of the cars mentioned so wont waste your time with an opinion but CCC really rate the CTR for a track car and I thought they know what they are talking about or are they rock apes too?:)

Dont listen to them, 15s are fine what size did the Rally cars run on Tarmac? Compomotive TH2s in black look really nice on a black 5. Get rid of the under bonnet insulation - its a fire hazard alledgedly and you need a long jubilee clip not just some rubber around the intercooler for piece of...

ABS would be nice williams 3 wise, but just get whatever one you find in alright nick for the money. Dont buy a shady car just cause you need one by tuesday or whenever Ive made that mistake before just take the bus for a bit. You need a bit of time to get williams cause there arent that many...

TO be honest most people have a fair enough point of view here it depends what you want. I think my mates 5 is ruined by the drop, it is lowered by 60mm and it has put so much negative camber on the front wheels that it struggles for traction putting the power down, turns in quick though. It...

I would come but am worried what would happen if my williams wasnt running right and I only had 149bhp. I might slow the group down/take uneccessary risks so wont bother. Anyone up for a slow meet in the East Midlands where we go and rag our cars around without being too stressed about if...

But it is very funny telling mates that there mint 5s are worth £675 according to Parkers.

Cheers kdf. All the kit below... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=cs_All%20the%20kit.jpg

My housemate bought one with a porous head. We went and bought a second hand one off a scrappy for £50. Fitted it and the car seemed very quick on standard boost, spinning wheels in 3rd etc. Turned out it was off a NA 1.4 so it had a super high compression ratio and shredded the gasket. He...

Mine looks all nice in the post reply box but I get a red cross when I post any ideas?http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=cs_stratos

lol rob. Girlfriend handbrake sucks. Always happens you casually look across at the lights just to see what is there and the lecture starts before they are on amber... On the other hand my housemates girlfriend thinks it would be cool if he got a motorbike?!

Gutted. Mine isnt really salvageable. Will say how much it costs so you can have a good laugh.

Downpipe heatshield, the two piece thing that wraps round it do I need it cause mine has rusted to bits. On a better note just went up against my housemates 5. Its pinking in 2nd and 3rd, Im only running 14psi, blah blah etc. Ha ha.

Just a geeky spot. Are those the Williams F1 mats that you can get in Halfords? If so do they fit okay? I know all my mates will disown me if I get them but I thought it would be a nice touch. Apart from that looks very tidy.

John Wootton, Williams 0337, Nottingham. Will email pic later as well.

The scooter does about 55 on the flat and he was doing 40 so head tucked behind the handlebars and hope for the best. Scooters are a good laugh I rarely even get a clear roundabout in the williams on the way in but its wide open all the way on the scooter (Anyone seen Taxi?). Plus £40 a week...

Overtook one on pride park in derby between two roundabouts. Not sure if he was trying though as I was on a 50cc peugeot scooter:D.

http://www.confused.comwww.confused.com were the best for me. HIC/herts are great tpf&t but arent good fully comp. Im afraid you are going to pay a lot mate, I was 22 1yr ncb one non fault accident in the suburbs £1300. Try putting mum/girlfriend as second driver sometimes helps sometimes...

Got mine at 58k done 64k now. A set of Goodyear Eagle F1s is my only real expense so far touch wood. The drivers side door pin needs doing and I am replacing the exhaust gaskets and sealing ring (£20 all in) cause the exhaust seems really loud for just a magnex. But thats the lot so far plus...

Just a few questions for clio_hater. Do the mk 2s with power steering have a quicker rack than those without. I used to have a mk2 8v and it was honnestly only second to a f reg fiesta pop in terms of being the worst drivers car that I have ever driven. The metro 1.1s that it replaced was...

I got the tracking done when I had them fitted and the wear is on all the edges of the tread across the tyre so tracking looks okay. Where do you get them so cheap? Im based in notts but that would still be worth a trip. I thought toyos were pretty soft too?

How long do you get out of tyres. I mainly do motorway miles, pretty much never rag it in first (unless theres an AP22 in the car...) havent done any trackdays but after 4000 miles the tread depth is fine but all the edges on the front tread pattern have started to peel away. Basically all...

Good skills its a great car. I like mine more every time I go out in it, you start to find that the feedback only really comes at ten tenths. If you can handle the rattles williams are amazing cant see me replacing it with another hatchback, fwd is done now! I put on a magnex to replace the...
