Evening guys. Long time, no see.
The bullet is still in my possesion (just) and has failed its MOT on a few niggly points today, 1 being the N/S rear bearing.
I first changed the rear bearing about 3 months ago after it gave way spectacularly around a roundabout and ended with the rear...
Over the past 7 days the bullet has started making a rather loud secondary noise in addition to the cherry bomb roar.
The noise is a deep drone which increases/decreases with speed. I can't feel any wheel wobble but have noticed the car trying to pull me to the offside quite harshly on...
I know nothing about these guys as i'm posting for a friend.

I jumped in the bullet tonight after another late night at work and noticed that the lights didn't come on. I tried the on, off, on, off trick a few times but no beep.
A couple of days ago I was messing with my vanity lights and managed to short the connections which in turn took the radio...

I paid £25 delivered. It seems to be an actual kit. Was it cheap and do I actually need it?
All in all, this takes my cam and aux' belt kit costs up to around the £135 mark for everything...
It's the only pic' I've got so far. I'm not sure if things are a little too busy now with the contrasting 1.2 badges.

Quite a random question I know but it's a form of market research below.
Thinking along the lines of the interior LED group buy and the F1 Team stickers group buy, what small to medium mod's would you like to see released for the Clio?
Suggestions below please.
How do I remove the diamond and mount from a phase 172?
I've pulled like mad and the diamond has popped off but I want to remove the base as well.
Cheers.
A quick run through would be great guys.
Is it easy to remove the glass lens as the insides of mine could do with some TLC after a meeting with a big ouddle last year.
I finally finished the claying today. To say there is absolutely nothing on there, it's come up quite well.
Next week will see the SRP on the rotary, EGP and a wax.

Chaps, I need a couple of super dooper hi-res shots of the Speedline Corse decals on the Trophy Turinis.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Probably a daft question.
My 172 has done 54k and is sometimes higher on one side than the other. The shocks aren't leaking but i'm guessing they'll be tired.
Could a sticky shock seize and cause one side to sit higher than the other or is there just not enough strength in them?
This seems to be a problem that afflicts every one of my cars, I've never worked it out.
When I really anchor on when the brakes are cold, emergency stop etc, the pedal goes rock solid, the brakes make a very metallic grating sound and stopping power is practically non existant. It has only...
I know what most will say, 320 mm is the mans size. What do you huys reckon?
The standard wheel is appoximately 380mm so anything will be better than that.
Can anyone black the diamond on these 2 images for me. Paint just doesn't cut it.

Had a run down to RS Tuning with a few lads from Meganesport.
I whacked the bullet on and it came back with 174.9 bhp. The last run I did with Paul on his old RR of choice showed 177.5 bhp. The most pleasing point for me is the torque figure which is now just short of 160 lb/ft.
Before and...
Job well done on the colour code for the Aliums/172 wheels guys, 647 Gris Titane went down a treat.
I'm now onto my Turinis. When I first bought the Turinis, I compared them to the Aliums and found there to be alot more flake in the Turinis so I doubt they are the same code.
Does anyone know...
