just wondering how engines are actually mounted to a car, and how the front suspension works. Right. the engine mounts onto a subframe, and this is secured to the chassis? there is a top engine mount and a gearbox mount that go to other parts of the chassis? are the swing arm bits of the...

no one has mentioned... evos need servicing every 4000 miles dont they!?!?apart from the expense its the hastle of taking it to the garage every 3 months! i would love a mitsi but think i would actually find a v6 more practical... (i bet no-ones ever said that before) i mean i hardly ever have...

left... since i crunched it on a kerb. getting tracking done doesnt help either. i dont even want to know whats wrong with it. lol, its very gentlre, i blame the camber.

what a c**t id reject his assessment purely because he maintains that its a non standard sunroof. it would take 5 mins and a call to any dealership to find out that this isnt the case. hes clearly negligent. get em for everything you can, all the time youve spent chasing it. you dont...

cheers for the quick response! will use that for the neons. actaully i must have used a colour picker to get the colour of my text!! maybe i can use that somehow to get a more exact match on the liquid yellow. copy those settings and apply them to a layer of the image like fubar said. hmm...

I have been using http://www.digimods.com digimods to teach myself how to use photoshop but wondering if anyone (fubar;)) knew good settings for colours. was well chuffed to find out that my mum had bought the full version for her digital photography course... thing is she keep trying to help me...

it would be a really cool project... i have seen a site all about a v8 engined mini but i think it was pretty much undrivable, too much power, sent it snakeing off down the road all the time... with more weight in the clio it should work a lot better! im half tempted to try and design some...

if it does work i think they take some time to have their effect! need to run a good amount of the stuff through to do its job!

quicker than usual? not quicker than standard though ;)

it sounds wierd at first but you need to sand it the colour with fine wet & dry paper and a bit of water before applying the laquer to get a nice deep shine to the colour at the end. in metallic paint the flakes settle at the bottom of the layer of paint. you need to take that top glossy layer...

ran redex injector cleaner bottles (99p per bottle, per full tank) through over about 2 months. (5 full tanks) on a long run i noticed i got about 40 miles more to a half tank so i think it improves fuel economy. was doing crazy things like 210 miles just after half a tank and previously the...

if you did an online quote the numbers may be different to if you just phone up. they may only charge £30 or soemthing incidentally i think all your calls to the insurance will be logged against your account number, so if you do crash theyll be more likely to check up on the milage now that...

oh and there is a torx screwdiver in the tool kit if you want to remove trim.

bench folds forwards and is wiggled out. taking stuf out of the boot is obvious. the plastic trim over the bar that runs accross the back of the car, behind the seats comes off by pulling at it. if you want to remove the solid bar, and the rear seats there are two big bolts sectured by...

not it looks like a ka but form certain angles... e.g. in the pic above that SCREAMS ka at me. ok look at the big bubbly back bumper, the shape of the rear window, the way it starts wide at the bottom and tapers towards the top. though in real life i guess the proportions will be bigger...

mmm i did REALLY like it... but then watchign the vid i realised that from certain angles it looks like a.... ford ka ergh. http://premium1.uploadit.org/gladey/kak.jpghttp://www.tuning-ford.de/ka_sondermodell/ka_royal_gr_2.jpg [Edited by entjm on 12 August 2005 at 6:18pm]

get the bike!!!... Ive done my theory, saving up for a DAS course. I quite fancy a suzuki sv650s too, hopefully at the start of next summer :D. wastempted by suzuki 0% finace adn £1 deposit thats going untill the end of august but ive decided to save the money. dont need any more debts...

the weight has no bearing on 0-60 etc, just for calculating BHP. e.g. if its this heavy, and went this fast it must have been putting out this much power. they seem to be very consistant, im sure someone ran one at a rwyb and it was within 0.1 secs each time. need to be on a flat road...

is the gearstick turret half the width of the centre console... looks wierd - never noticed that before!

i think that looks really nice, AND after the 182 their next model wont be crap. surely? i think that as they know their biggest market for the hot clios is the uk they;ll have it all set up for our roads and take onboard all the things they learned from the trophy. i mean things have to go...

yeh i thought that would be a problem... only 3mm holes though, pretty small. cant get to the other side of them. :confused:

right might crack on with this tomorrow. bored of the M3 skirts, think they look a bit boyracer. might get some standard renault ones if i can see any going cheap somewhere... but this is the plan. looks like the skirts have rubbed the sills so will have to fix the rust where the paint is...

was subscribed to evo when it was £1 an issue, cancelled but only because i didnt want direct debits flying out! I still buy it often... its by far the best. I need another £1 promotion! i think autocar is ok but sometimes the focus is more day to day and mundane than "evoness" which is a...

grr these things can lock on and get a speed reading from 1Km away... however they cant read the licence plate from there.... so what do the sneaky buggers do.... ...use a video camera and follow you untill they can make out the number plate... so you can be speeding 1km away from the camera...

My abs seems to cut in slightly when braking lightly, and there is a terrible groaning noise from the system when it does... really worrying, in the dry, no chance of a skid, just rolling slowly up to a junction put foot on brake lightly and it just lets go of the brakes and makes a crappy...

cool... one day when i have a more powerful car. does it feck the clutch up, i guess that depends on how quick you dump it.
