I bought mine on the Woolworths offer. I didn't necessarily want those particular games, but swapped fifa for a wireless controller and may well sell Tiger Woods on ebay. They're going for £35+, so will then put that towards different games :)
aha - good idea re: taking the bit under the heater panel off! :)
btw, it's a sony.
I don't think it's the cage that is the issue, as I've managed to get that to stay in place. It's the 'prongs' on the head unit that I think have become too weak. :(
Morning all
I’ve recently installed an old head unit, and had a few issues –
1. There is very little depth in the clio, so it struggles to sit in the dash fully.
2. The ‘brackets’ that should secure the head unit in place don’t appear to hold (think they're a bit worn) and therefore the...
that's not good mate - sorry to hear it! :(
Where did you book the track day through? I too would like to learn more about how this car really handles etc! :)
^lol!!
badges look much better and inkeeping with the dark wheels. :)
be interesting to see how the track day goes. Did I read your blog correctly, in that you'll be doing two different types on the day?
for me, the cup is fine as an every day drive. It's still comfy enough etc, but obviously doesn't have all the toys of a 182 cup.
However, on the track, I think the proper weight reduction in the 172 cup will prove excellent. Not yet taken it on the track, but won't be long!
I would guess...
whilst the trophy is rarer and has some certainly superb qualities (e.g recaros & ohlins), I dont think that I'd spend double the amount for those things alone - get some coilovers and buckets in the cup and you'll be laughing.
The cup is an excellent car, and I believe is superb value at...
greenlight don't cover cups though sadly. :(
Plus, generally the cup isn't a particularly insurance friendly car, made worse by modifications, as I've been finding out. :(
I got my best price through Elephant, but Adrian Flux were very close (£30 or so more) and Herts Insurance Consultants...
that's bad mate, but glad you're basically ok.
I guess it could have been worse especially with a big car like an A6 - they must be 50% heavier than a cup.
Hope you get the car sorted out ok. :)
Amen to that brother!!!
Think a variety of people have killed gearboxes, so they are by no means bullet proof, but be weary of caning it in first gear.
I talk from bitter experience!!! Don't think I was doing it on purpose as such, but a bit too many revs and too much haste. :(
car is looking good Chris, but that list looks a bit expensive - like you said though, worth it and necessary for some proper track abuse!!
hope it all goes well :)
yup, that sounds about right to me - don't actually need to take the top half off, you can just get your hand in and pull the old one out and do the reverse with the ITG one.
I've got an ITG one in mine :)
yup, you'll happily see 40mpg on a motorway. :)
I do a fair amount of driving, which includes various weeks of 100+miles each day, which I've completed with no fuss - the motor is more than suitable for such work. AND, it when you're not on a boring motorway, it's great :)
looks very clean and tidy Rich, a nice example. :cool:
I'd agree with the others, in that it would look even better back on the original turinis, but it still looks pretty sweet as is. :)
do you ever sleep Chris?
Well done on the tow bar! :)
Steering wheel - I'm sure it must feel so much better to drive, but kinda looks odd? Probably looks better in the flesh. btw, can Renault actually turn warning lights off using their computers? I was told recently that if the car is...
clio looks nice chris, but the towbar!! wtf!!!
sad news on the vx - tbh, I never wanted to ask, as it seemed to be kept fairly quiet. Really gutted for you mate, but hey, the clio will rise and become something special no doubt.
two sets of seats? One set not good enough?
