Just removed the top half of mine the other night. About 10 screws/bolts and then slide it off. There's a nack to it though, as there's 2 tabs that hook under metal brackets where the passenger airbag is. I had to push down on that area, and then at the same time slide the dash towards the...

Looks fresh!

This. I paid 380 for my 172, and the list I've written up of parts (cage, seats, harnesses, etc) comes to about £2k minimum!

It's still pretty torquey but you couldn't overtake as easily as say your GT. On the motorway though it's good for between 50-70 (or slightly more if needed). The only downside is once you're at 70 it's at about 2500rpm already, so any faster than that and it starts to sound a bit laboured.

I've got an 86. It's mostly used for commuting to work. 20 mile round trip a day, 5 days a week. Driving like miss daisy I easily achieve 63/64mpg. Driving "normally" I can get about 56mpg. Not driven a 106 but it has the benefit of an extra gear so good if you're doing a lot of longer...

Good to hear the motor's running but shame about the box. :(

Quality over quantity Tim! ;)

Good going fella!

Nice going there! Did chuckle at the shriek at the end. :D

Looks like it's there now: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?758309-CS-Areas-Day-2014-Post-Event-Thread Christopher.

Bloody hell dude, you're not having much luck with it at present. :(

There was a moment where we got split up trying to find parking. We all found wash other again though.

Christopher. took some. Sure he'll bung them up when he can.

Made it home in one piece (finally). Nice to catch up and meet some new faces too.

So.... Where did everyone go TimR26 ?!

Live this thread and car. Read all of it the other night for some inspiration.

Lol. If it's there, i can't see it on tapatalk. However, I know the time as it's on the original post!

Is there a time on that quote TimR26 ?!

Ah, no worries my friend.

Cub. Is there a Reading convoy? If so, I wouldn't mind tagging along.

Modern cars are much more capable of withstanding longer terms spent parked up now. If it's been a classic, I would say do this, and do that. With the clio, I'd just leave it. At most, out a trickle charger on the battery or fire it up once a week.

Epic thread so far!

He was draped over the bonnet IIRC.

Depends if you treat me to something nice. X If you do want to share though, no dramas my friend.

Yeah, I guessed it might be. There's some extra speaker cabling that had been run from front to back too. Yesterday I spotted a small patch of oil on the garage floor too, and it appears to be coming from gearbox. It's all coming apart anyway at some point.

Such a shame but at least you have the car back.

How many times will this one go bang? :p Looking forward to seeing the progress in this one dude. Should be good!

I was talking about the big red one. :D

Proper chuckled at the video at the end. Also, is that yours and Sam's "Special" bus in the background in the pics Daniel?

Dunno, but Guy Martin is coming along for a special guest feature!
