Popped over and nicked his ported inlet today, certainly a lot cheaper than getting my own done! :D Car felt good driving home again as well, although mostly A road / motorway stuff so not great for finding out how's she's performing, but felt smoother and livlier to me... could be a placebo...

As title really, can I machine wash my lambswool wash mitt? It's a bit grubby and needs a spruce up before I use her again...

I don't usually ask these questions, as I know that significant power increases are very difficult without spending large wads of cash, but I'm just curious really... Ph1 172, with Viper Induction Kit and cold air feed and matched inlet manifold: what kind of power increase am I looking at...

Fitted my polished fuel rail guard and started to colour code the engine cover. Am thinking that I'll spray the remaining grey part of the cover in anthracite and then have a go at polishing the parts of the plenum that are still visible. Certainly the 4 branches and probably just the RS...

Parked up just past the clocktower, by the prison. Looked like it had a sticker in the rear window but couldn't tell if it was CS or not...

A little help if possible guys... I'm trying to replace my fuel rail guard, but can't get the original one off. Now, I'm using a pretty cheap and nasty socket set so it might just be I need one with better leverage, but I can't shift the bolt at all. Also, I was under the impression that...

(No) prizes for guessing what I'm spraying a nice shade of red... :)

Can anyone recommend a decent wall mount for the 32WLT66?

I'm usually quite philosophical about car park 'dings' and scrapes, it's a car and they happen. But I noticed this whilst cleaning the car yesterday and it's more than just a brush, it's a bloody great dent in the panel where some knobber has just driving into the side of me, no doubt whilst...

FAO anyone who's sprayed their engine cover... How did you go about covering up the 2.0L 16V lettering? I'm thinking tracing paper onto masking tape, and then cut out and stick on...

Using the useless tool that Renault provided, I can get the front 2 screws out, but not the back two... Do people manage with the Renault-provided tool or have they got separate 'screw' drivers to do the job? Also, the fuel rail guard, how's that come off? :S

I'm bored... take some various pictures, an old Fatboy Slim track and Movie Maker: http://media.putfile.com/Clio-image-montage

My old wheels are getting rid off as I've lost the space to store all my junk, on ebay with no reserve. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300022205291&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020

Raised from a recent conversation with Neil (Freebone) and Cliohead's missus at the Airfield Meet yesterday: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=163868 We discussed the issue of how you raise the fact that you're into Clio's, and go to meets / trackdays on a regular basis, without...

Building on my previous thoughts of changing, and witnessing a few Williams at recent trackdays / meets, I'm wondering whether this would be viable.... seeing as they really seem to go some, handle like go-karts and have 'the look'. I know it's a much-discussed topic, but what do people think...

Spotted two on the Exeter to Dawlish road yesterday, a lowered black one near Dawlish giving it some, and a slower silver 172 nearer Exeter. Anyone?

Gave the car a clean today, results of which can be found here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=160482 Also fitted my ph-quick miniature sticker: Can you spot it? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :D

Pleased with my results today, especially as it was only a quick wash with a coat of NXT Tech Wax (almost finished!) and P21s experiementally spit-shined with PB Spray & Wipe: :)

Just been looking through my old collection of car bits and pieces and I've found an unused bottle of Megs Body Scrub, any ideas what it is or what it's like!?!

I've all but used up my existing supplies of waxes, etc so fancy something new, what do people recommend (ie Rich)?... I'm going to keep my Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze and P21s Carnuba, so it's a decent sealant and wax that'll work well on silver. Oh, also, Rich can I have a link to my 172 pics...

I can't logon to Yahoo mail and it's doing my head in! Anyone else having the same problem?

Did I read somewhere recently that O2 had recently started charging customers to call a certain prefix (078..... or something) in July, and therefore all customers who started a contract before this could therefore cancel their contracts free of charge because O2 had changed the terms of the...

Think I saw you in the Food Hall today, where I happen to work! :)

As title, I want to merge together several avi files to make one large one... any ideas?

Went to give my car a decent clean today. Did the wheels, washed it, dried it and was too hot and bothered to do anything else! Still, she looks pretty again.

My sister wants to loop the intro to a particular song over and over again, for a friends wedding reception. What software can I use, so that I can just take the intro to a track and burn it onto a blank CD?

Bought Day's Eibach Pro's from him and got them fitted last week. It looked noticably lower immediately afterwards, but now I can't tell any difference! Much improved handling and ride though, not harsh but seems more responsive and direct... Before: After:

I read on here somewhere that someone commented that they've gotten a bit embarassed from the roar of their induction kit, so removed it and it's got me thinking... so have I. Now, I do like the sound it makes because it sounds purposeful, but it also sounds chavvy, so I'm tempted to remove my...

http://media.putfile.com/Exhaust-clip-10-98 Nothing special, just me messing around with my phone and Putfile, sounds nice though. :) EDIT: Watch out for the celebrity cameo at 14 seconds!

Right, had a bit of an impromptu (?) chat with a guy in the same building as me and it turns out we've got a communal Sky dish... bargain! :D What do I need to get it to my place? I've got everything down to the socket on the wall which is obviously for Sky (SAT), but nothing on my end...
