    Emergency head unit question

    You'll soon forget about stalk controls anyway. I keep toying with the idea and sure it'd be nice, but for the £35 or so that the patch cable & adaptor costs I think I'll just go to the effort of raising my arm to the left a bit and changing volume the old-school way... I'd recommend having a...

    Emergency head unit question

    Sound quality will improve a fair bit (definitely noticeable a difference) You will not be able to use the USB/aux/ipod box with the JVC unit. I suspect the box you're on about is the "Renault Tunepoint." As far as I'm aware a renault-cd-changer to jvc-cd-changer adapter does not exist. If...

    Sick of insurance quotes

    Boring repeat thread :rasp: Just do what everyone else does: * Drive a crap car for a while * Wait till you're older Yes, insurance is a shame, but what makes you think you deserve to be able to insure a decent car when solid statistics show that we're a high risk? Unfortunately insurance...

    What is this? (idiot content)

    Thanks all, suspected as much but now I know for sure.

    What is this? (idiot content)

    The medium sized black circular thing underneath the rear bench with wires sticking out? Always wondered, always had two guesses. I hope KLR8 doesn't mind me stealing a pic of his clio for this Q :rasp:

    Aux connection.

    Well then, become a club member ...and you can view the links! The first link is a picture/text guide to installing an aux-connection for the standard headunit. Requires 10 minutes and the parts needed are surely under a tenner (parts can be bought from a trader on here called MT Audio) The...

    Aux connection.

    Alternatively you could buy an aftermarket headunit with an aux-in connection? The upside is that you'll get significantly better sound quality than adding a tunepoint/aux-in to the standard stereo, the downside compared to the tunepoint is that you won't be able to use the stalk controls with...

    Done HU & Components, now what...?

    In order to get a decent SQ/volume compromise I'm having to take a little bit out of the treble and have to forget about bass completely. What are my options? * 2 channel amp from ebay + a wiring kit. I assume any old amp, even a £50 halfords one will be better than the 18ish watts RMS the HU...

    RB (?) 182 North Badesley LM04 CFK (?)

    Cliosport.net sticker in rear window. Racing Blue? Followed you from Valley Park (Tesco Express traffic lights) to just past North Badesley. I was a Black Gold 182 behind the Micra that was behind you. Think I've seen you once before. 12am, Sunday 7th of August.

    172 vs 182

    Thanks. I really thought they were 16"s. I must've been thinking about the Cup's Turinis. 15 min edit limit is annoying.

    172 vs 182

    My biggest input to this thread is this: 829 posts on this forum and you don't know the differences between a 172 and a 182? Wow... seriously what have you been reading/writing threads/posts about all this time? I'm sure the below has been mentioned already... PH1 172 Cable throttle body (a...

    Best After Market Speakers that fit Mk 2 Clio on Standard CD Player?

    The standard tweeter wire connects to the underside of the tweeter. You'll need to pop the tweeter out of it's housing in order to reach the wiring clip and disconnect the wire. You may be able to reach the clip without fully removing the tweeter from the dash (the hard bit being squeezing the...

    Best After Market Speakers that fit Mk 2 Clio on Standard CD Player?

    Tom, but then you're still using the standard tweeters, which defeats the objective of changing the speakers... The £79 "perfect fit" pioneers are popular on here but I'd question whether the unsatisfactory SQ is due primarily to the headunit or the speakers. I found a pleasing difference just...

    Tyre pressures can be worth a few mpg. Can't recall what they're supposed to be but says in the RS owners manual.

    Aux input for Ipod

    Don't think you can use the above method/cable as there physically isn't anywhere to plug it in? Another option might be the official Renault USB/aux/CD-changer dock-box-thing for around £60? Best thing to do though is to PM/email/call Matt (MT_Audio) as he's got a lot of experience with us...

    Clio 182

    Holy s*** You have turned the front of a Petrol Blue (I assume?) 182 into a Renault Avantime/Megane hybrid?

    most weight carried

    LOL @ the fork-drill! Never mind scraping your own arches etc, just remember to brake early enough to avoid scraping anyone elses property! Circa 1670 KG with your proposed 500 KG of cement plus yourself... no thank you :o Anyone who remembers Newton's second law from physics will realise it'll...

    Larger single throttle body?

    Sorry, uselessly (lol) late post. Tabbed browsing = distractions = out of date topics by the time you get to replying. Interesting to hear your experiences though Russ.

    Larger single throttle body?

    I recall reading that the forum consensus is that the OEM throttle bodies are not a limiting factor at all, hence no/negligible gain from fitting one with a bigger diameter.

    Should I carry on with the Clio?

    Common sense :p You're not "just" lowering it by 10mm though, are you? Setup is essentially done by doing up bolts/nuts in very specific positions and millimeters/a-few-degrees make a big difference. It doesn't matter how careful you are when you fit a new set of coilovers, you're never ever...

    What do you think about this Clio, Help appreciated

    Buyer seems genuine, I mean how many ebay ads have this: "Due to the fact that this car may have issues that I have not listed on here I will not accept any bids or offers without the person bidding or offering having been to inspect the car first" Best case scenario new battery (£70), bulbs...

    Slim Subwoofers

    Noob question: what needs amplifying and what doesn't? Amplify when RMS of speaker is higher than output of headunit? (though I'm aware headunits always quote max output) Does amplifying just do loud or does it improve sound quality at normal listening levels?

    Slim Subwoofers

    I know this started off as bass, but its developed into a general speaker thread soooo... You sound like the perfect customer for a set of these 'pioneer perfect fits' (not to be confused with the 'custom fits') They are built specifically for the Clio meaning you simy unscrew the old ones and...
