Hello,

Cant understand how it rubs!!
Are you running a high profile tyre??
My 17's don't really rub - only a little and thats when i brake and turn into a corner other than that they dont!!! My car is lowered 35mm on front and about 40 on the back - only arch mods were a mallet to the inside of the...
Hi,
I have just had a look on GFS.com for service parts on my car - and basically i cant find one of these that is for my car!!
It says mk1 1.1 - am i being thick here or are they all the same for mk1's??
Cheers,
Dumpy
Mines tempromental - works from when i turn the lights on sometimes - sometimes not at all - sometimes after a while of driving with the lights on - bloody thing!! :S
Cheers,
Dumpy
I'm with you on that bud!!
I think they are well nice and im sure some company will bring out a nice mod to add a few BHP or loose some weight!!!
Cheers,
Dumpy
Just a quickie - do any of you mk1'ers have 152 with an ET 42??
If so any problems??
Plus what size tyre's etc do you use??
Pics would be good!!

Right i have already done a search to no avail - i am looking at getting some new wheels on my beast as my tires are about slicks now!!
I'm thinkin is it going to be near enough the same price to get some new smaller wheels and tires as it is to buy new tires for her!!
Any way to the point -...
Cheers gents, i want a fair bit of both tbh - got to do my bumpers and interior!!
Need a fair bit of filler to skim the top of my dash!!!
Looks like it will cost me more than i thought!!
Need fibreglass for door cards!!
Cheers,
Dumpy
Where do you get it from - seen th stuff in halfords but as i intend to use a fair bit on my car - both inside and out was wondering if there was anywhere good to get it!!
Also what brands would you recommend??
Cheers,
Dumpy
I have an idea mate - how about just two rectangular thinish lights on the back - i think they would have to wrap just slightly around to follow the shape of the car!!!
I know this is going to sound wrong but a squarer version of the fiat Brava / Bravo ones!!
But with 2 of them instead of...
If you had a spare alloy you could make it a feature - other wise you could put it behind your seat (drivers or passenger) or possibly cut a hole in the rear bench and fit in there if it will fit that is!!

I have changed my seats for some reclining jobbies - and i am changing my steering wheel - but i have not changed this yet!!
Anyway my airbag light is on - so what i want to know is that in the back of the dialsw is it easy top take the bulb out from the dash or is there another way of getting...
Is there a decent link or advise on what screen to get - as i have been looking into this but cant seem to find a decent web site to buy a 7" screen (or sililar size)!!
Cheers,
Dumpy
Dont get me wrong this site is very useful - learnt alot since joining - but it cant help to gain more knowledge from elsewhere!!
Still going to use this forum - as like i say it is useful - i was just wondering if there was a specific Mk1 one!!
Thaks for your help guys!!
Cheers,
Dumpy
Wasn't sure if it was a 172 or anything but had some dark alloys - looked good!!
Down Windsor high street last night in a queue of traffic - was about 19:45 - didn't get the reg!!!
I was in a green mk1 RT!!
Cheers,
Dumpy
Lol, yeah i know its good isnt it - nothing to be proud of tbh - but hers was because she wasnt really paying attention - mine overtook someone and hit a puddle and spun - the second a drunk prick ran into me at some lights!!!
The number is 0118 958 6777

Right i am 19 - no years no clames 2 accidents (1 at fault, 1 not), 3 points, been driving 1 and half years, live in a medium to high risk area, drive a 1.4 RT £500 approx value - and insurance was £962 - well impressed!!
I'm with academy insurance in reading!!!
A very happy chappy - going...
Same as Front off the second one and the skirts and rear off the first!!!
I think it would look smart - still a clio but you can tell its unique!!!
The way i see it is if you dont like it you can always take it off and sell it again!!
be different mate :approve:
Cheers,
Dumpy
Yes mate - if your on about the back then its a bit tough by that i mean the torsion bar - and on the front you can change the springs your self but you may need a spring compressor - but i think they are relatively easy to pick up!!
I worte some stuff about lowering it a little while ago - i...
Right i think its about time i serviced my car!!!
I want to do it my self as i have a lot of time off work so need something to pass away the time!!!
What partys do i need to do a service by my self??
I think i will see how this goes, then in 3 months i shall service it again and change...
I have 17's on my RT ph3, and the front is dropped 35mm rear is pretty low, id say about 50mm because its in the arches!!
But handling is better than the standard wheels with my alloys on, and lowering it makes it handle better too obviously, massive difference!!!
But it sometimes scrubs on...
