Hmm, the centrifugal force generated while doing donuts might counteract against this cyclical earth rotational force and even things out?? So th eonly way to get the window motors to work at the same speed is to pull donuts...

Mines the exact same! A bugger innit, youd expect the driver and passenger motors to be exactly the same, and hence take the same time to wind up/down if you press both buttons at the same time! Bu ttheres always a big delay after the driver ones finsihed for the passenger window to chug on up...

OK, it sound slike Ill have to pay a visit to Strathclyde Autotint then, thats a stunning price for all windows, considering the bubble-shaped rear screens meant to be a bugger to tint on new shape Clios. By the way John, saw your 172 on University Ave on Friday again! Was looking mint, and...

I dont kno wwhat brand they used on mine unfortunately. I was under the impression that Renault had specified Elf, since theyve all got big Elf stickers all ove the back windscreen! lol. It was a main dealer, dunno what a minute dealer is, but this ones a large Reno garage (Arnold Clark at...

small spring pans? sounds like a visit to your gp might be advisable! lol. Im afraid I dont even know what a spring pan actually is so I cant help you mate! But as far as Im aware all mk1 Clios have the same setup (apart form valver/willy) and all mk2s do as well (apart from diesels, 16v/172...

I got mine done at my Renault dealer and I trusted them to use the right oil (surely they would know! Actually... on second thoughts...!) Anyway, for an oil and filter charge including parts and labour (5l of oil, a new sump gasket and an oil filter) they charged me £25. 10W40 should be fine...

I have daily experience of this! Its 6250 90% of the time, although bizarrely mine occasionally gives me 6500. In 5th Ive had almost 7000RPM when my car was new (speedo showed 128), on a downhill with a tailwind! But now I cant even get it to the 6250 mark.

Its not easy! Basically you are gonna have to go some with a hacksaw and/or a stanley knife and destroy your existing knob and gaiter before you can get em off! Then youll be able to clamp the new knob on over the metal stick at the top of the gear-stick thats left using the grub screws (make...

Was that a come-on john? I hope not!

Now, now! I neither said I was scared of them, nor that I hated them!!!

thats pretty damn good! how much did they charge you for your original tints? Im needing mine done, and have thought about with Pentagon (who did a cracking job on my mates Micra - (of all cars!!!) at Cumberland St Glasgow or the one at Jordanhill (cant remember the name). Where is Magma? Ive...

Another thought... I suppose if I did go for 8"s instead of the 10"s, I could probably do without the boxed Kicker mid bass under the shelf. Otherwise, if I went for 10"s and larger, would my mid-to-low frequencies not suffer a little without these? Is there any other brand (apart form Kenwood!)...

Right, I see what youre saying, cheers for the advice. I was thinking about using a signal processor with built-in EQ and fully adjustable crossovers/roll away settings, so that should help for the freq. separation attributes for the subs. Im pretty sure I want either 2 10"s and a 15" or 2 8"s...

Nah, its Primas that attract them mate! I was in at my dealer ordering a new parcel shelf last week and there were these two boys (I use that work with some hesitation!), bent as a two pound note and camper than the Graham Norton fan club, obviously partners, buying a set of carpet mats for...

OK, Ive been scheming and I think Ive just about figured out the spec of my next install... will need to save up quite a bit for this one I suspect! Im aiming for an all-round loud SQ type set-up, so bearing this in mind any advice offered (probably mainly from EvilICE!) would be much...

back doors??? in a XJS????? mate, youd better make sure you havent been conned! That sounds like a cut-and-shut job if ever I heard one! lol:D

Hmm, I was about to order one tomorrow... perhaps Ill hold off now and see what happens with yours. Its the first Piper-X product Ive seen that advertises sporty sound on the box so I thought that was a very promising sign!

No, not at all, its alright. I realised you were joking afterwards, was in a bit of a funny mood earlier when I posted that reply! I sounded like I was ready to suggest stepping outside for a square go! lol Anyway, youre just jealous cos my cars actually now lower than yours - well it must be...

Nah, "Motorsport" gives the most HP. It makes your Nova into an actual Group A rally car!

A good point Tom. S8s would certainly not get beaten by anything with a Renault badge on ever!!!! Not unless its BB tunings 16v. even the V6 would get toasted by a S8.

Well, perhaps he was in a desperate hurry and went up in the other lane to get in front of the queue of traffic at the lights so he could go faster ahead. Im not surprised he was pissed off if you decided to race him off and then went slowly, holding him back afterwards.

They also do a full titanium backbox for about £150 or something, thats the only thing in the Rage range that remotely appeals to me. Otherwise theyre far too Nova-ey - the new Peco, but without the vehicle-specific fitment!!! And the backboxes are tiny, so if you dont fit a full system with a...

Fred, what do you mean Im talking rubbish?? In which of my posts exactly was I talking rubbish - I was simply reporting the facts - I had scrubbing from my rear inner arches (irrespective of ride height) against the sides of the tyre wall and I had to tie back the arch liners in behind the...

Frankly, I wish I had bigger wheels. Bearing in mind the difference to the look of the car (and the amount of attention attracted) from 17s, 18s would be brilliant. The daddys and Andys cars both look great on 18s, and imho the wheels dont look too big, in the way that I think they sometimes do...

R-Tec have put 19"s on with no arch rolling! But alas at standard ride height... thus creating the worlds largest rollerskate!! 18"s will go on with no rolling, but only if some of the inner arch linings (sh*tguards just behind the rear bumper at the outside of the spare wheel well) are out the...

Im running the Apex -40mm springs but I just had the garage measure them up against my mates identical car (cos I felt they were a lot lower) and right enough I actually get a 55mm drop rear with my ICE in the boot, and 45mm front, as the springs seem to compress quite easily with additional...

My stereo is about 30kg. Ive also still got my spare steel wheel in the back so I guess theres a lot of weight over the rear axle. I cant figure out whats actually catching in the arches, and its happening just going over small bumps/hills. I get a squeaking from the tire rubbing something. Ill...

Well, I mail ordered my springs and got some guys at National to fit them for me for £40 cash in hand. Well pleased with the job.
