Yeah I kinda stayed away from lady birds as I thought that might happen lol

It really shouldn't do that!!! ^^

It's definitely one piece on mine - once it was off I put the top hat in a vice and tried to take the nut off - no luck. It's all moulded as one I can take a pic if you like

SERIOUS CAUTION here mate When I took my top mounts off the nut is actually part of the top part of the top mount! (top hat as you're calling it) Honestly - they are one and the same part - it was well confusing as I kept thinking it wasn't coming off I whacked a buzz gun on them and they came...

Ahhh sorry assumed the opposite - as compbrake stopped selling them about the same time I saw the k-tec ones advertised AFAIK compbrake don't manufacture the clio top mounts any more

There top mounts are only £110 without the strut brace -> http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=143 The replacement bearings are £25 each -> http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=145 I can't really see it ever being cost effective to mill your own top mounts Also...

It's not worth it really - you can buy the bearings from pure motorsport for about £20 lol By the time you've lathed some new ones you might as well just buy the k-tec ones :(

They are a horrid design They don't fit well in the hole and there's nothing to hold them in place except a silly screw-on ring That rattles loose and the damn things move about - meaning a crap drive There's a reason comp-brake discontinued them and redesigned them as above with the bolts...

Yeah the first gen comp brake ones are utter shite - I'd rather have standard The second gen ones are fine - and are identical to K-Tec I believe K-Tec just bought the rights to them - powder coated them and stook a K-Tec logo on them

The strut brace is the spreader plate And you don't need washers - honestly I could pick my car up by the strut brace now lol

Check my progress blog mate

The rubber lets the shock absorbers move slightly from side to side = softer turn in. The solid mounts dont = faster turn in The rubber will provide some noise reduction because it'll buffer the spring/shock movement from the car - but "crashy" feelings are when you hit a bump or pot hole in...

10th & 11th is good with me - but the clio will be mid-way through having the cage welded in and the interior resprayed I'll pop over in the 306 to say hi though :)

Yeah I'm running them - they are fantastic!

Oh sorry - I missed that I've had a run in in the past with the "extremebhp" lot - cracks me up lol Edit: just found the guys thread - he actually seems ok now people have explained to him that he's been conned and ripped off Probably should edit the ebay ad though LOL It reminds me of the...

I understand that - but I wouldn't have thought they'd suddenly make the car feel "crashy" I fitted billsteins and then a month later solid mounts. Made no difference to the feeling - just turns in quicker

If it's glowing red then the engine is running very lean. Lean = very hot I would be VERY cautious running it as it will crack a piston if it hasn't already Most likely cause is the throttle body or a vacuum hose has come off - it's getting waaaay too much air. If it's none of those then it...

Got it sorted last night Re-programmed the airbag ecu so it's happy having no airbags now LOL! No lights on the dash I tidied all the loose crappy renault alarm wiring up - taped it all to the main loom. Tidied all the stereo wiring up out the way Got to go pick up a new dashboard on saturday...

Top mounts won't make the ride crashy LOL That's down to spring strength and shock absorbers

This I sold mine on - utter bag of s**t

Dan - yeah it is Right - here's what I've found out Remove airbag ecu = Fault code on dash Remove either of the side impact sensors = Fault code on dash after 2 seconds So I can't remove either of these 3 things However - all airbags are removed, all seat belts - and using the RSTuner I've...

I need to rebump this All my airbags are binned now - so are the side impact sensors and all the seatbelts It's a fully stripped track car I've tried removing the airbag ecu - but I'm stuck with a light on the dash. I found a guide on here saying to remove pin 7 from the plug - but that was a...

Yeah I'm at trax that weekend

The number plate light on mine didn't work - popped it out of the bumper and the connecter was all corroded I think they tend to get hit by spray from wet roads Only cost about £8 for a brand new one with a bulb in

Yeah there's an indoor one off triton road isnt there?

The pride of lincoln meet was s**te Me and ash turned up and after 35minutes got bored and left - even the organiser didn't turn up. A PM the day before might have helped ;) But FFS get a PROPER lincolnshire meet up - there's at least 4 or 5 clio's I see daily. Not driving to notts just to go...

Hrmm there's a point - I removed the steering wheel airbag and the standard seat belts ages ago and I didn't use resistors The RS Tuner I've got allows you to tell the ecu to ignore certain air bag error messages Maybe it'll work for the dashboard one too!

I just got the monster beats for my birthday The sound quality is mind blowingly good - makes my old sennheisers sound like s**t The controls work flawlessly with my iPhone 4 and they are a great price

Listen to this man!!!! I am a die hard canon fan - and I agree with Brazo - canon lenses are cheaper and better. Hell you could buy a 50mm f1.8 for £80 brand new!! BUT the new sony sensor that they've fitted to the 5100 is a whole new level of technology. It has virtually no noise at any ISO...
