Bought some cheap-o Draper stuff from Motorworld. Not sure what Draper build quality is like but at least Ive heard of them before... A torque wrench was £30.99 and some socket bit thing set was £20. Time to get workin!

Mine pops a lot, and my mate was following me down the M6 one time and he says that mine shot a little bit of a flame out a couple of times... I dont care if it makes a loud shotgun noise its cool! Might try breaking some windows now eh Daz ;)

Hokay, I need to lower my car, and after everyone else doing it and going on about how *easy* it is to do, Ive decided to do it myself to save on labour charges etc... Ive got springs, axle stands and spring compressors already... I just need a decent set of tools to do this stuff with.. I...

What???

I wouldnt personally get any, I guess they can look *ok* on the Clio cus they dont shine down the bonnet, but if you go to a big Halfords or maybe in Motorworld they should do them there. Demon Tweeks might do them as well I dont know. £15-£20 is better spent on a Haynes manual or something...

Hell Id rather be in Stoke on Trent than here! Having had several nights out in Stoke the nightlife is still a bit iffy, but MUCH better than Stafford! There are birds, *ahem*, sorry, women in Stoke as well (they might be inbred or a bit rough but still...) Ive not seen that games shop Ill...

1 - too small (uni) If they merged Stoke & Stafford campus, then itd prolly be wicked!! 2 - Crap clubs (town) Oh, Zanzibar and Reynolds, although Reynolds has closed down now and its moved to a smaller bar, L.A.1, its still appauling though apparently! And full of 16 and 17 year olds... 3 -...

GAH! Im in my 1st year trying to get transferred to Leicester De Montfort for the 2nd & 3rd years. All I gotta do is pass everything and get some half decent marks in a few modules. Name 3 things that are wrong with Stafford / Stafford Uni Campus.... ;)

Yeah its the astroturf thats next to Stafford Court, Beaconside. :cool:

No I love my seats despite how old the car is, its a J plate too! I think Im gunna get some clear fogs, but I wanna get some rounded ones instead of the old looking ones... Bloke next to me is on the same course as me, Music Tech.. Hes a bit posh thou....!

Never had a piccy of her on me comp before today when I nicked my mates digital camera and took one just after I spent about 2 hours washing & polishing her. Plenty of work still to be done but I just thought Id waste a minute or two of your time and bandwidth whilst you read this tripe Im...

Yeah sorry what with every1 making their own videos lately I think Im missing out. Havent got any pics of my car on my comp or uploaded either.

Could someone give me a bit of help with all this video malarky? I wanna burn a bit more of my student overdraft up with a digital camera that can do a bit of recording as well, something that I might be able to copy to my PC and do a bit of basic editing with Adobe Premiere. Now there are...

17s are big wheels, lower it 60 :D

No BenRs answer seems like the most likely cause. Rip open that dashboard and give that Gremlin some Red Bull every 5k. Ok ok, maybe Lockys answer is the most realistic. How much is a new speedo cable and is it pretty easy to fit? Would you just need the top bit or a whole new cable?

Ive got this ticking noise too, I always think that its coming from the air vent demister things. My speedo wobbles loads at low speeds and evens out at higher speeds. The ticking noise gets noticable at 30mph? It ticks slowly, then gets faster as the car gets faster. Ive had it since Ive had...

Bah whos got water guages??

Ive not had a bad experience with another driver for a while now, havent drove my car much lately thou Ill take it out later and see how many white van men I can cut up ha..

I think its alright to give it a thrashing now and again to clear the engine out and stuff, but I wouldnt thrash it all day until the cows come home cus youll kill something like the head gasket or something worse.. And youll use all your petrol too I imagine! I might put my 13s back on...

Bah how can CS_Matt get a higher top speed then.. I always thought that with larger wheels althou acceleration would slow down top speed would be slightly higher. Stupid cars.:@

Whooo 500kb/sec download speed :P ....... Wow a video with some effort into the editing put in!! Good soundtrack :) And yes I can hear the induction roar very nice.

Thats not fair I cant reach 119mph!!! Is there anyway of getting my top speed back? Since Ive put 15s on I can just get to 100mph with the engine screaming!! I think with 15 inch wheels you are about 5.75% (or thearabouts) slower on ur speedo than ur actual speed.. Althou this isnt true in...

Is it an old 1.4 RT? If so I didnt think you could get PBVs for them? With the big brake conversion (that Im thinking about atm, its either that or just discs and pads for £99 which I reckon is pretty decent and wil b enough for my 1.4), dont you need stuff off a 16v as well?

Is it the thing thats halfway down this page: http://www.incarcommunications.sageweb.co.uk/entertainment.htmhttp://www.incarcommunications.sageweb.co.uk/entertainment.htm Looks like an egg timer!

What is it? Pics not working?

Zero, havent drove my lovely since Tuesday :(

16v brakes seem like a nice idea but that seems like a fair bit of work... Would simply putting uprated brakes on like the Ktec kit or some EBC stuff do a similar job?

Oh and whilst Im here, brakes.. Mine will need changing soon, I can hear and feel it. There are uprated kits and stuff but could I get bigger discs for my RT? How much am I looking at for some half decent stuff. Not going to uprate the rear drums its not worth it is it? Cheers fellas (and...

Can someone please give a little bit of advice on what springs I should get to lower my RT please? Ive got 15s on with 195/50 tyres and dont want a stupid drop, looking at 40mm all round ideally. Cant find any springs (so far) for 40mm, just 35mm or 50mm. 35mm will do but 40 would be nice...

Happy Burfday have fun driving ur 217 712 271 172 thingy..
