Basically im really starting to get frustrated whilst taking pictures atm. Everytime i take a snap the sky/sun ruins it.

Just a quick question, are all the guitars and drum kits etc universal between playstation and xbox? Not the disks but the hardware itself. Cheers mucho

So the gf's mums car was stinking and if im honest i dont think the car has ever seen a hint of polish in its life. The paint work is heavily damaged with scratches and swirls and only a proffesional detail with paint correction would remove them. It also had moss and weeds growing from various...

Anyone with any experience of Catcam 428's? Whats your thoughts on them? Would they show good gains with a remap and matched inlets? Also where in the power band would you see the best gains? Cheers

Hi Lads my car is in the finishing stages of having a 172 engine fitted and the garage that is doing it also does matched inlets, has a rr and is a dealer for cat cams. Now because i have a brand new cam belt and kit i was thinking of upgrading the cams, whilst im at it to save on costs later...

Changing the log book so it has the correct details of the engine thatsin the car. (2ltr 172 instead of 1.6 16v into a megane coupe) anyone know where to find the serial number? And what if it aint got one?

Yet again i am in need of all wiring diagrams for.... Clio sport 172 phase 1 F4R Megane Coupe 1.6 16v K4M iirc. Either in paper form or eletronic would be even better. I will pay for them of course, how much is up to the issuer. My old ones went to a chap who was going to do the wiring...

Basically when doing my engine conversion we have finally got round to fitting the auxillary belt, the only problem is its too tight. So we changed the air con pump from my coupe one to a clio one and that was much smaller so that helped. But the belt is still too tight. When i went to my local...

With my 172 coversion well underway i decided to keep my 1.6 16v box as it was only about 10k new. But i have a 172 starter and she wont turn over. Ive had the starter off and tested and thats fine. And when i turn the key i can here it kicking out and spinning but it like the bell housing on my...
