Think youll have to take the dash off if you want to do the job properly. Dont know about the new Clios but my old valvers dash top comes off with 5 screws. Just find a positive switched feed, as everyone has already said, the fag lighter will do with an in-line fuse, but maybe find a different...

Grey. Any bright colours will look womanly. Or matt black like mine.

Bottom line is you cant sue people for telling the truth. You can only sue someone who goes around saying youre a crook if you are actually an honest citizen. If you really are a crook you havent really got a leg to stand on LOL

B / 31 And IMHO everyone almost everyone would choose B regardless of how old they are. But if you cant afford to have a sporty car because of the cost of doing the work, or the cost of insuring it, you havent got a lot of choice other than A have you?

Get it from Maplins dirt cheap. http://www.maplin.co.ukwww.maplin.co.uk I just bought 1mx1.5m for a few quid.

Very interesting. Well if I tee it off from the distribution block then I can try the system with or without the cap in the circuit, by just undoing one wire. Ill get my alternator checked out anyway. I only got the cap because it ended up at £15 on ebay LOL

Williams if you can afford it. If youre not totally mental over Willys yet, think about a Willy 2. A bit more solidly put together than the 1, still without the sunroof, which is best, and youll get one cheaper even though its newer. The driving experience will be the same as a WIlly 1 though...

Jeremy - youre spot on there mate. They must be doing pretty well to keep advertising and to be honest it makes sense. If you think about the general audience for those sort of mags like Evo, Autocar etc (and I do read them myself as well btw), not all, but the majority of readers are men who...

Sounds like thats all OK then. I might fiddle with the layout of the cap like what Malice said, running the main feed down to the distribution block rather than the cap and then having another line out of the side of the block to the cap, just for the sake of neatness. Electrically it should be...

The cheapo 1.5 farad power cap (with digital voltmeter) that I got off ebay has finally arrived, incl instructions, and their wiring diagram looks a bit weird but seems to just about make sense. Basically Im hooking up a 5 channel amplified system, one 4 channel amp running the fronts and rears...

LOL yeah I remember that RR thing...that was seriously taking the piss.

Docter Fox, not rude at all mate...its a good question, about something that a lot of people misunderstand. We all know as drivers that when youre doign 40 and put your foot down, youre quickly up to 60. And when youre doing a ton on the motorway and you put your foot down, things dont happen so...

OK then Ill scan in my slips, two from Santa Pod and two from York. First two at the Pod, it depends on what you think is better, the ETs both round to 14.1 but the slightly longer ET has the better terminal of 100.48mph The York pair are a similar thing (but better runs overall) - 14.059...

It would definiitely be interesting to see which are still on the roads. I know for certain that a fair amount have been written off/scrapped, whether they were all 1s Im not sure of, but there certainly arent 400 any more. Doesnt someone keep a register of them on here? It wouldnt be that hard...

Tony, youre spot on mate, 0-100 in 11s is tidy without a doubt. Plus of course everything costs more money once you start tuning. For example, Im usually in the 15-20mpg range, and couldnt hit 25mpg even if I tried, but thats the price you pay for a fast car. The thing Im trying to get at, is...

LOL but what if you drove this? you might never get your leg over again! Then again, maybe it would improve your chances...depends what calibre of bird youre after! http://www.nick-read.demon.co.uk/metro2.jpg http://www.nick-read.demon.co.uk/metro4.jpg

Willy - have you ever been quarter miling yourself mate? If not, you should. Just because, funny as your small print is in that last post, you tend to find that quarter milers - or at least RWYB drivers who run their own road cars - are a very friendly bunch and would never dream of jeering and...

Well I have got four lines of pre-out: front left, front right, rear left and rear right. I was just wondering really if splitting the signal and feeding all four channels to each of the amps would degrade the signal that they get? BTW Fred you hit the nail on the head mate LOL...no its just...

Id have the Willy any day, but then I like the old Clios anyway, and dont like the new shape really at all, so I would say that. I can offer some advice on a 200SX though. Dont buy cheap. Get one that is absolutely tip top to start off with and tuning will be a piece of piss.

LOL Willy Williams you said it. The reason why we quarter mile our Clios and do whatever we can to get them quick is BECAUSE they are Clios. Joe Bloggs from Accounts buys a Scooby because he reckons its quick. He reads a bit of Evo and dreams about being a handy driver. But a select few on...

Anyone? There must be someone on here on Christmas Day LOL

Give it a go then!

THats what I console myself with as I lie there at night sobbing about how I cant crack into the 13s! Apart from the fact that Im a bad driver, it doesnt help, running 17" rims and low profile tyres, which is what I always run whenever Im being timed.

And I second that. Willy WIlliams - it was and still is a 16v. Just its turbocharged now. Stu8V...just interested to know, who exactly do you think are the dreamers on here? Most of us left still on this thread are hardened quarter milers who dont claim anything unless weve got the ticket...

3/4 inch would foul the door. Most sill plates are pretty much flat, my Lockwood ones are only a couple of mm thick.

I need a bit of advice on my ICE project Im going to start on soon. Im stripping everything out of my Clio so thought Id put it all into my old Scirocco instead. Ive got a load of JBL stuff that Ive accumulated, ready to fit. The front 6x4s and rear 6x9s are already in and I can hear that the...

Jesus/Jon - Ive been mulling that one over myself lads. I think itll be worth a bit of a swap over at our next showdown to see whats what. I reckon if you drove it Jon youd be astonished at what it could do in your hands. Only thing is youd have to get used to the clutch. Cant slip it or...

And another thing...you cant count any standard cars. If youre talking about whos fastest and you allow standard cars to compete, then its really just a pissing contest...whos got the most money. PLus it really needs to be Clios anyway. Jon I tell you what well do mate, cos IMHO youre a better...

If you want any more, just email me and Ill attach some. That exhaust is gone now, its now got a side exit LOL

Some things to think about, not directed at anyone in particular and all IMHO of course: A car can be as fast as you like but if you do not want to take it up the quarter mile to actually prove it, youve got nothing. Almost without exception, people who take the piss out of quarter milers are...
