I was at my girlfriends house earlier and when I went round I left my keys on the window sill next to the front door (which is usually locked) as I always do. About an hour or so later I was going to go home to get ready to go out, when I realised my keys werent where I left them.
Me, my...

Just wondered what the theory is here and whether it is a)safe and b)likely to do much?
I posted the other day saying how I had lowered my torsion bar myself and put 55mm springs on the front.
Well here are the results. (Excuse the dirt on the car, snow and grit will do that)
Just wait for Daz to post them as hes hosting for me. (Cheers mate)

As I posted before somewhere I recently lowered my torsion bar and attempted to fit new front struts/springs. I had trouble with the struts and so ended up fitting new 55mm springs onto the factory shocks.
Basically this is my problem. On the 1.4 clio there is apparently 2 different types of...
Well after much umming and arring I finally went for it today and I have to say it was a piece of cake.
My torsion bars came out relatively easy, just needed a bit of persuasion and some WD40. Interestingly my car seemed different to other 1.4s I have read about. People often quote things...
Okay my car is up on stands at the moment with no front wheels or suspension.
I am fitting new kit, dampers from gmax and springs from spax.
The problem is Ive gone to put the spax springs on the new dampers and they are too wide at the top for the top plate that goes on from the old...
I recently fitted 15s to my clio with 195/45 tyres
on standard suspension the fronts catch on full lock on the inside edge. (So when the steering wheel is turned fully to the right, the front passenger wheel will catch and vice versa)
Its not too bad but I am about to lower my car by 55mm...
I know these arent in the 172 league for speed but what about on their own merit?
Are they any good as my mate is thinking of checking one out. (Before you say buy a clio he gets a 22% discount)
Cheers

As I have left Uni and will be soon entering the world of work (uurgh yuk) one of the first things I will be doing is changing my car.
I have read loads of hot hatch tests in mags and keep coming back to the cup because its fast and its such value for money.
The thing is (and I dont want to...

Hi guys havent got round to lowering the clio yet due to the weather but hopefully give it a bash this week.

1) Once its out if you fully remove it does it matter how you put it bacvk...

Okay I fitted 15s with 195/45/15 rubber about a month ago and they scrubbed slightly on full lock on standard suspension
I removed the mudflaps, trimmed a tiny piece out of the front sh*t guards and everything is ok again.
However I have just bought a 55mm lowering kit and I am going to...

Ok after studying weights guide to lowering a torsion bar I am all tooled up and ready to tackle the job tomorrow.
1 question though
I bought an M10 bolt 80mm long to use as the extraction tool but it doesnt fit through a socket. Did you need to widen the socket hole at all or is my bolt...

Sorry didnt quite know where to post this
Can we get 10% off mail order or is it only in selected stores?
Only reason I ask is coz the Birmingham branch has closed. (SOB)

Has anyone got a 1.4 RT etc with a reprofiled/performance cam?
If so who did it and how much did it cost?
Did it make a big difference?
Thanks for any info
Want a few bits colour coding, side strips, bumper strips, mirrors etc
Anyone know somewhere not too far from Solihull in West Mids?
Would rather go on recommendation than the yellow pages
