Today I made use of the sun and started to strip out the dash. I've decided to keep the heater box in the car as I think some functionality of a car will be useful one day! Whilst doing this job I noticed a few difference between the cup and the normal clios which I hadn't heard of before. The...

A solid light could be caused my a couple of things. If the Earth strap on the gearbox is loose. It's behind the n/s wheel so check that. The other one I come across is a faulty relay in the engine fuse box. Again on the n/s in the engine bay. Look in the fuse box, there are two/three small...

Check the offset. I know it's different but 172 wheels dont fit on a non sport without being spacered and I'm sure you wouldn't want to run into that trouble. for ref 172 alloys et 48.5 182 cup alloys et43 no idea about 182 non cup 172 cup alloys et 38.5 oz f1 et43

Was shocked you sold Phil when looking through the EPAS thread. Seems like yesterday it was all still being tested out as a new mod!

I did some track time in a golf v5 ones. I sailed around in absolute comfort. Do some 20 minute sessions first as it's an easy way to have fun without hammering your car. http://www.msvtrackdays.com/car/products/taster-session-car.aspx

Looks good Sam. If you've got any pics of where the lap belts bolt onto the floor that would help me out with my 172.

That's rather over complicating matters! The bits around the edge are just to stop wind noise, the sealing is done using the stuff in the gun. Last year I had my screen replaced, took one out of a car and got it fitted for £50 so it ended up being cheaper than the insurance excess. Can't...

Popped up for an hour or so. Can't use a camera but go these six. There were some absolutely beautiful cars up there both race and road.

The service light doesn't actually show it needs servicing it means another minor fault has been detected. There isn't an interval light on the ph2. Did the service light come on with other lights? Commonly it crops up with the airbag light or an and fault. Fog light it defo corrosion on the...

@william... this help? I know it was a really long time ago but you need to keep the airbag ECU as the diagnostics run through it. I've removed all the airbag wires from mine and will be tucking it up in the dash to make it all a bit cleaner :)

ones with rainsensors are tinted. PH1 clios and early ph2s have tinted screen but the cup is just a bog standard piece of glass

@Timmsy I'd give you a hand mate, of course! I have to say I'm not sure how much of the engine loom you'd be able to keep but I'm pretty sure you would have to go FBW. It would need to be a new ECU/UCH kit. My only question would be if the headlight plugs were the same. I'm sure they could be...

Only the side windows are different (slightly thinner I believe) fronts are all the same.

Let me know if you need help with insurance settlement. I know my way around them :)

As always I still think this car would be seriously awesome if you converted all the wiring and engine management to ph2. Think of the climate control!!!

Polish that out no problem. I think claiming is a little OTT for that, so much more hassle than it's worth.

So you need to trace the wires in your car and match them up to your old seats (how it used to be wired up with no lights showing) there should be 2 for pretensioner, 4 for side airbag and a ground or two. Once you've matched those up you can trace them on the new seats and fit them all in a...

you can trace them easily from your old seats and the new ones. The grey wires are earth if i remember correctly.

where are you based? Don't bother getting a connecting loom. Just get some bog standard connectors and wire up the seats yourself. Superseal connectors will do.

That is so cool. Bet no one expects a logan that fast!

I used to have pirelli p zeros which I did about 2 hours of track time on and they stood up well to it. It wasn't all at once though, twenty minutes here and there. Took a lap or two to heat up, didn't self distruct and gave good grip. On the road they were very good too. Paid about £35 a corner...

If it's a manual tensioner as on a cup you can tighten the belt a small amount.

It's only a half cage. Someone told me that if I had a cage they wouldn't let me on. Even though it's my first proper track day. I'm looking to give a £100 evening session at Brands a go shortly. Of course I can give them a call but just happen to be wondering now when they're closed. Cheers G

As promised, piccies. Finished the door card today. This one is much better than the first one and fits a lot better. Just need a little grommet to go in the window winder hole. The ones I've got are all slightly too big or too small. Very happy with the cage being fitted now I can see it in...

Haven't seen this before Chris. Looks brilliant. Careful when deleting the carbon canister as if the tank doesn't have a way of breathing it pressurises in the warmer weather.

I drive through 3 speed cameras a day and haven't been done yet. Touch wood!!! Seriously though speedos always over read by a small amount but speed isn't something which can be argued so the cameras have to be calibrated correctly. All have to be calibrated the same.

pressure wouldn't make a difference to the speedo reading, the rolling radius of the tyre is still the same. They are over as in all cars. Speed cameras are calibrated accurately though In the average speed camera section on the m25 you could set cruise to 57 and not get done.

Can't wait to see this up and running mate. I was imaging having a 1.9 the otherday when was struggling up a hill on the motorway with the car going into limp mode every second. Hats off and bravo to you kind sir.

Yeah my thoughts were the same. Will have to check that tomorrow before I order the fittings.

Got the foam tape to finish fitting the passengers door card which hopefully I'll get fitted tomorrow morning. Fitted the cage today when I got home and it only took an hour which was good :) Used some washers on the top and some 50mm OD washers on the bottom to try and spread the load a bit...
