    Question about claiming for accident

    Hello Under the terms and conditions of his policy he has to report a claim. This is so they can capture the third party claim and reduce costs by trying to get them into one of their approved garage, prevent credit hire and an inflated claim. If you raise concerns about the damage being caused...

    172 PH1 bushes list

    Gooday I've been given the task of buying the bits to turn my mates PH1 172 into an occasional use track car. I've said we should start by making sure the base car is good so am looking at replacing all the bushes that will have worn over the last 100,000 miles. I'm looking for a list of all...

    Limited mileage and going over

    How long have you owned the car? Can the MOT's prove your mileage if over what you say, so would they be able to prove you have knowingly gone over you entitlement.

    Secrets

    This is strongly aimed at particular insurance companies if you watched the whole thing. Garages which are PAS125 approved have to conform to certain standards and wouldn't "skimp" on repairs. Also under most policies you will be liable for the extra cost of not going to an insurance repair...

    Declaring Brake Pads

    You will need to declare them. Anything which is different to OEM will need to be declared. It'll be uprated brakes or something. Problem is you wouldn't have bought EBC pads if you didn't want to brake harder and the risk will change, standard brakes are cheap as chippies ya see :)

    ktr lightened flywheel to fit alongside a valveo clutch

    I've got the flywheel and standard clutch, it's absolutely fine, revs noticeably faster than standard, also with a/c delete it's a good package. Valeo clutch makes it an every day driver, paddle's are poop for anything but track if you also don't want to hate how unrefined your car is everytime...

    Checking Injectors

    You would have to remove the rail to test them, all at once. When you have all 4 out you can unplug the coil pack and turn the engine over. Put a piece of card under the injectors and a fairly good idea can be had of how well they are working. Card should show good spray pattern, not drippy or...

    Air con delete

    Yeah I've got it. Well it came with the car, It's a manual adjusted tensioner instead of spring loaded so you have to make sure it's set up right. I've got the one with just the brackets and the belts, not the billet pulleys and stuff but it's a fair bit for just is what's essentially a...

    Sport exhaust on non sport?

    This is only a back box, I am talking about a full system. Exhaust design isn't bigger is better always, it's science, hence the development stages of the RS192 cat back yielded very different results

    Sport exhaust on non sport?

    You would feel a benefit from it at top end (if pipe is not way over sized) as the gas flow is more. Exhausts are generally a little restrictive at top end as the majority of driving is done lower down. Remember it's a clio, not a ferrari, most owners will drive conservatively. Sport models the...

    Loss of power after changing gear...

    coil pack or crank sensor me reckons, definitely a sensor, fault code read should let you know :)

    Sport exhaust on non sport?

    The bore of the pipe would be to big for the relatively low exhaust gas output of the 1.2 A 172 exhaust is designed to have much more gas expelled into it and with a 1.2 you'd produce the wrong back pressure, exhaust gasses would have cooled completely before they get to the end of the pipe...

    Any exhaust on a car illegal?

    When you declare mods it doesn't specify whether its louder, only if its performance enhancing, that's all that really matters among other more minor things about the personality of the person etc. Some insurance companies will actually cover stainless steel exhausts as standard and not...

    Grease to use on injectors?

    I always use rubber grease like you would on brakes, makes a good seal and pretty sticky, been doing this for a couple of years and never had trouble

    Rs tuner ,launch control.

    Massive novelty factor :D However I am pretty sure it's just a limit at 4.5k then when you're going above 5mph or something it takes the limit off. Where has the boy in all of you gone? It's like a card in the spokes for clios

    Rs tuner ,launch control.

    Car needs to be up to temp before Launch control will work. The map has launch control in the name of the file, mine does anyway! It is pretty silly, rather hilarious to do it at the lights next to a super quick corsa innit, then pull away incredibly slowly while they light up their 135/90/13s

    Best way to clean knooks and crannies in the engine

    Currently I'm painting the inlet manifold and found a load of dried on oil underneath on the rocket cover. where someone has clearly missed the oil filler. I've wire brushed it and used autoglym de-greaser which got the large areas coming up well but am having a problem getting into the tighter...
