    exhaust bore question.

    ive done a search on here and it seems that the best sized bore for a 1*2 is 2.5" but ive been told by a few friends that anything more that a 2.25" on a N/A car will lose back pressure and power as well as creating flat spots. is this true or is it because the clio`s have quite a high...

    rattleing noise from front passenger side ?

    ive had this for a little while and just put it down to a heat shield but the other day i got under to have a look and it all seems to be fine but the noise is still there. it only does it when i get to the higher rev range but not lower down. any ideas?

    quick detailer?

    i know you use this stuff to lubricate when claying and can use it on its own as well but when you use it on its own, does it take off the wax that is on the car already or does it just take off the contaminants that havent bonded to your paint yet?
