I was thinking of doing that - but it lights the service light as well If I tape up the service light then I'll never know if there's an actual ecu fault :( Might have to do some research and find out what the ECU is expecting from the airbag ecu as an "everythings ok" signal and fake it

Thanks mate - I went out and treated myself to a 50mm f1.4 this month. Love it! I was hoping I'd catch myself a bit removing my dash today to fit in with the 'red' theme. Turns out removing the dash was a lot harder than I thought - I'm covered in cuts LOL!

I actually got time this month to take a photo! :D My entry...

Need to get this back up to date... Few weeks ago I binned my sloppy standard gear shifter Well I took it for a drive (or tried to) with the new shifter - but couldn't get reverse LOL Oh well jacked it back up - 5 more mins tinkering and it works a treat It's further back than...

Spend less on lights and buy a decent camera ;)

Wait - which ones? The Pure Motorsport ones come with a strut brace - and they bolt through into the strut brace. Very rigid The others I assume will fit with the strut brace on - you'll need to check for clearance though

Straight swap - takes about an hour to fit including drilling the strut tops. Turn in is a lot better - there's less play in the steering

Nice find I've relocated my battery to the boot but I've kept the standard battery Are these the same size as the standard one or smaller?

Don't they bottom out? My billies aren't very low - and if I go any lower they hit the bump stops I know from previous experience in the 106 that hitting the bump-stops mid corner is not something you want to do lol

Yep - by far the best kit Top mounts bolt directly to the strut brace. Exact copy of what the cup race cars run If you want to adjust the camber/castor with the top mounts then I'd probably still get AST - but if you just want solid top mounts then the Pure Motorsport kit wins hand's down...

Cheers guys - got it done no probs Just need to drive the car now to see if it's any better lol

Sorry mate - 50mm was just off the top of my head. I picked something up out the garage that fit lol I doubt they're really worth doing unless your old ones are falling apart like mine were. I hear it increases understeer :(

Nope - I wouldn't fit them. I had eibach sportlines before the billies and the car handled fantastically. I don't see the point in buying a car that has thousands spent on suspension and then fitting some cheap £300 stuff If you just want low then fair enough but obviously that will compromise...

Billies look the same as above too - as do all the other coilovers V-maxx = cheap shite :(

You're a bad influence :p

Shame to see this broken - loved reading through the blog I wish I could afford the charger kit lol

Yeah but it could be worse - you could do all the work yourself to save money and round off the thread on a brand new billstein coilover ;)

Fair point - the brakes on mine were new when I got it - lasted 18months (25k) even with a ring week and 2 track days Clios = Cheap as f**k fun

Jesus Dan I bought my 172 Cup for £3000 - it came with a set of bucket seats I didn't want so sold them and a few other bits - overall cost £2800 I drove it for 18 months and only did a service costing £80 Insurance was £430 so 18months, nurburgring, 2 track days = £3525 ;) And the car had...

You can't use a scissors one on the ball joints - the top of the joint is inside the hub You can use them on track rod ends but he's doing ball joints For ball joints the fork style is easiest - just tap it in with a hammer and bobs your uncle :D

Re: Attention Nurburgring pilots (any track really) - Some advise required if you ple The man knows what he's talking about I read his guide on fitting DS2500's - removed the shims and filed the ends down a bit so they had 1-2mm play. Took it on track and it stops on a dot. No squealing at...

As above it's worth it for the little bit of cash they are All you need is one of the fork style ones

I've got a B&M that I want to get fitted tomorrow (please no "bye bye gearbox" responses :)) It's 2nd hand and came already fitted into the plastic surround so I guess it's just 4 nuts underneath and the whole lot drops out Question is though - I'm assuming heat shield will need removing but...

God that's so so so nice Clios in white just look gorgeous

Good luck mate - if you start getting annoyed with it just wander off and have a cold lager, try again a bit later - seemed to help me lol

That'll be mine LOL I mounted one in the diamond to go to the nurburgring last year as I heard they were pretty strict with filming It was a piece of piss to do - I wasn't too happy with the bullet cameras quality so sold it and got a goPro HD though now

That's really cool I saw a guide where a guy had put a long elastic band from the mount and used that to pull the camera along - gives a nice soft start/finish to the movement and removes any hand jerkiness :)

Absolute nightmare - but I got them done in 2hrs on my driveway It's easy getting the brackets off and pulling the old bushes off - and it's easy putting the new bushes on but then trying to get the bracket back over them is near impossible What I ended up doing was getting a 50mm long m8 bolt...

I prefer the look of 106's and they're more fun out the box - but they're so foooking unreliable I did 8 years of spending weekends laid under my quiky/gti fixing them 18months with the clio and even though it was a dirt cheap high-mileage one it's never faulted once

As in Phil that still owns the forum lol Yeah Dave keeps trying to sell it back to me - but I couldn't go back to 106's to be honest
