I keep looking for one of those old 4wd Mazda 323s. If I can find one for a couple of hundred quid in the paper, that will certainly be different.

If you want to get the best you can you really need to go up a size in discs. Something like Leighs setup or just get the big disc kit, you can have 285mm grooved discs using your existing caliper, itll fit behind standard discs, for around £200. Then add £50 for a set of Ferodo DS2000 pads and...

I wonder if with that spoiler on the back it does wheelies if you get it up to speed? I do like the wheels though.

To me there would only be two options. One is do a GTT transplant. Torsion Tuning have done a few. Option two is flog the RT and buy a valver which is a much better car. I have owned both so I know. The RT is a nice nippy car, but the handling on a valver is a lot better, and no-ones going to...

Thats the thing Jon. I want you to race me with 240bhp NA in your Clio. Where youre gonna get that sort of tune from I dont know but it would be a top race mate! I reckon Ill do an Astra with 240bhp. Even if I stall on the line and the Astra runs a 12.9, Ill have a thousand times more style in a...

Well glad the advice helped. I never realised I was such a master mechanic. you didnt get that clutch snapping thing on video did you, Id love to have seen it! Get a new filter anyway and put it the right way round. They definitely work better one way than the other, the arrow should be towards...

LOL Im gonna love to see what youre strategy is, slayer! Still, I will definitely want a race around Essex sometime soon, you know where I am when youre ready.

If theres a totally mint, one lady owner, mk1 GTi with only 40,000 miles on the clock Ill give you £500 for it?

Yeah forgot to say Craggy, bouncing it off the limiter for more than a second will lose you time. How you gonna soup it up now, Im pretty sure 15.5 is attainable in a VTS with a couple of light mods. Hardcore Sax youre spot on there, I cant stand the Pod, York is a hundred times better for...

LOL just goes to show you that some people are brain donors who shouldnt even have a car let along fit nitrous. Contrary to what some people reckon, using nitrous oxide on a road car is not a walk in the park and easy power or cheating. Its not that hard to install and run it correctly, but...

Cant remember what mine went for. I sold them to someone with a 5GTT. About £180 I think including good rubber.

What, you sucked a small animal into that intake or something mate?

LOL ok then Daz if anyone ever turns up at your door with that pair of motors, you help yourself to the Scooby mate, and send the Aston round to mine! BTW Beetles make the same sound as Scoobies if you put a big zorst on them.

Sounds like the steerings knackered. If the play is noticeable then its too much. Likewise if the camber of the front wheels is noticeable then its too much, I dont know the exact settings but it definitely shouldnt be obvious to the naked eye.

lol Jon why should turbo power cane NA? Surely it doesn;t matter. If anything a 240bhp turbo car should get beat by a 240bhp NA car just cos of the way the power is delivered.

lol but Paul, did you find an airflow meter to clean out? If you did Ill be bloody impressed! The valver ECU meters fuel by calculating air volume from manifold pressure and engine speed. Hence no need for an airflow meter or any of that stuff. BTW yes the fuel filter should be the first...

Thats an old favourite but I dont think many people ever tried it. Glad its getting more publicity.

Nice work mate. Soon as Im back on the road Ive got to take it easy - brand new engine, big brakes and kevlar clutch will all need running in for 1500 miles!:( But once thats up Ill be at the first quarter miling day I can. Ill tow you across the line in 13s:p

clutch, engine mounts, power steering pump if it needs it, water pump, belts.

Yeah but no-ones seen you for a while now, you been keeping a low profile ever since that sighting in your big old motorboat ploughing up the standing water down the A13 that time!

Matt I cant PM you, cos your PM box is full, can you email me about getting mine resprayed mate? Cheers! mailto:nick@cliosport.net">nick@cliosport.net

Still, I cant deny its quite funny watching some tw*t in a Nova Swing putting a tea tray under each back wheel then doing doughnuts until something breaks.

Spot on Adi, I been to a few cruises in my time and most people there are just wanting to have a look at each others motors and do something different rather than going to the pub all night then have a fight and puke up on the way home. But there are always some arseholes who turn up in their...

No turbo badges for me. In fact Im just in the middle of a programme of exterior subtlety and smoothness - all the locks off, all the badges off, tailgate smoothed, big spoiler maybe swapping for a small original one, big 18s off and swapped for lightweight 17s. Front drop tape coming off for a...

Excellent, Ill race both of you up at York then! More easy pickings...

PLus as Tom said, BB all came in to work on a Sunday to see to our Cliosport members cars and run them up, and even came down the pub with us afterwards. No other rolling road has ever done that for us. Hope you can understand why Im not that happy about your mates claims, it just seems very out...

I can see both sides of it really...an hour late doesnt seem that much and it can be tricky to find if youve never been there before. But then again BB are *always* busy and their ramp time is valuable. I go up there every week or so, and there is never a moment when they dont seem to all be...

SO what if they dont like tyre foam at the tyre fitters? Thats what you pay them to sort out! Much better to carry a can of foam than a heavy spare wheel and jack around. And who wants to try and jack up a car with a factory jack in the middle of the night, change over a wheel and get filthy...

There is no airflow meter on a valver. The only thing I can think of is clogged fuel filter, injectors or fuel lines. Check them in that order. In fact just go down Halfords today and buy a new fuel filter for a fiver. Change it over (its underneath the car and held in by a jubilee clip each...

Well its something differentI suppose. They look alright, I dont know how they drive. BTW Adi bobbins LOL
