Been in a couple of times to look around and seem to have a lot of nice parts on show. Not sure how they are in terms of doing work on your car though. Let us know how you get on!
I managed to get two downhill bikes in the back of my car standing upright with the wheels off, another one on the back (roof rack with straps on either side of boot too to hold it still), three bodies and all our kit. Neither of the racks I used have marked my car, if you think they do then...
was gonna put this in the for sale section but its not really for sale and i dont have a price on it as thats what i want to find out.
fancy replacing my clio with something like a fiesta zetec s etc but it depends how much i can for my clio.
its a 2001 Y reg mk2 ph1 1.2 16v Sport, monaco...
the most i've ever got was 400 out of a 1.2 16v but with my K&N induction kit fitted is more like 320 miles of mostly sensible driving with some hard accelerating sometimes.
loose the back seats, plastic interior trim will have to go too and rear seatbelts, plastic windows (cant rememebr the exact material, poly something lol), maybe remove some of the elctrical toys like electric windows etc? remove rear wheel, carpets etc
then a decent lowering kit, strut...
oh right i know where that is. i live other side of stirling in buchlyvie. rear seats are actually back in it now as i needed them, just so much more practical with them in.
also saw another 1.2 8v clio pull into the 24hr petrol station at the craig's roundabout at about 10ish last night too.
hey all, my dad was driving to work this morning in his 1.9TD Scenic (1998 R plate btw) when the car just sort of stopped and wouldnt go any quicker than 10mph. he said he could press the accelorator all the way down and the car would just sit at 10mph and run at slightly higher revs than it...
my 1.2 16v 2001 clio is definatly quicker with a standard air gilter and a cold feed running straight into the air box. took my induction kit off as it was definatly way slower.
what are tweeters?
car looks good, i can never get mine that clean no matter how hard i try. might need to invest a clay bar i think. how do you use autoglym interior cleaner on the seats? i thought it was really only used for plastic trim.
i'm lucky i dont have to do that :D mine are nice and simple! turn on sides, turn on dip and then you can turn on main beam. or you can flash main beam whenever you like.
there will be a way of doing it somehow i would imagine.
#i cant get anyless than £2200 on a 172 Cup. I'm 20, live in a fairl good area I think with 1 year NCB and 1 accident exactly a year ago on thursday. Thats with Adrian FLux I think, Bell wernt too far behind. Try Admiral, Bell and Elephant with their 10 months policy??
no idea how it happened, its not as if its directly above the hazard button either! i'm really confused, i dare say it'll cause a stir in the office next time i'm in
where abouts you from mate? theres a rover looks like that with the orange bars round my way. i live in buchlyvie near balfron.
nice motor by the way. how much it set you back?
Just about to leave the office today, when I bumped ino my colleague Paul who said he saw my hazard lights flashing at lunchtime, I though he was taking the piss as he's always trying to wind me up. So I'm walking down the terrace and I see my car with no hazards on so I though "good, he was...
or you couldbuy the springs, then later replace the dampers with apex or spax or whatever springs you get to spread the cost. more work involved though.
I'm also thinking of lowering sometime, if i buy a kit over the web, will my local be able to fit them?
