@gally
Just bought vantage on your reccomendation.
How's best to apply it? Should I just de tar and de iron and good wash then over then straight onto the paint?
What about a glass polish then lads now the G5 is ordered haha?
Oh and what would get rid of a few light marks on the dash cluster plastic surround bit that you look through to see your speedo? Would a trim restorer hide a few little scratches due to (previous) slightly over zealous cleaning?
Can anyone recommend me a good glass polish to remove some light wiper marks and general grime?
And a good long term glass sealant like gtechniq or the like?
When applying and removing car wax using an autofinesse wax mate, the wax feels very grabby going into the paint and also grabby to remove. I've tried priming the applicator with bouncers QD and obviously use some on removal too. Still grabby though. Why is it doing this? Oh and im not over...
Wow mate that would be like f**king incredible! Quite honoured you'd let me tbh haha! I've been in a mega Turbo'd one so be nice to compare mate and see where I want to go with it really.
I don't believe in doing anything cheaply so I'd 100% go somewhere and get it done properly and by either...
Excellent post that mate really enjoyed reading it and I now think If I'm going to do it ill go for the charger. I heard you have to rebuild them myself, what is it that wears out and why do they need rebuilding?
I've only ever been in one supercharged car and that was a 197. It was awesomely...
Swirls are for weight reduction mate.
He's gone stage 2 on that easy, all the gouges are just weight he didn't need pal. Get that clearcoat thinned out!
Looked a good day that pal. Looks a wonderful road. Next time you do something that way out mate give me a shout haha. My cars sorted now and I'm dead happy to go out and about in her now haha. Loving the Yanoo!
Haha I know what you're saying buddy, you just like driving by the sounds haha! ;)
How much would the RS2 cost me? I swear they'd stopped making them though? :( I want as near to 210 bhp bhp as as near to 5.5 seconds to 60 as do able to be honest.
Mine went to Donny DDC for the belts and I...
It is actually really good for getting deep rubber marks out etc. My dad's car had been tracked and hit a cone and had all rubber down the side. Just got some petrol on a rag and it came straight off whereas none of my other stuff would touch it!
Ah okay, never really hear much about them on here anymore, can they fit ITB'S and turbos and all that sorta s**t? I know they're obviously highly reputed on here anyway
@midge I just want power and lots of it but power that will be transmitted to the road and not lost chewing tyres or raping the drivetrain and clutch.
@cub, how reliable is your supercharged set up and how much power are you making? Does it feel a lot quicker than the standard car and what's...
There is some pretty awesome advice in this thread! Really enjoying reading it all, still heading towards ITB'S I think.
@leeds_182 car isn't a daily but I don't want it unusable so stripping it isn't really an option as occasionally it will be taking passengers etc.
I'm not too bothered...
I just really don't want any unreliability whatsoever as it's such a long way down to andy!
To me reliability is more important than power I think.
@MrTom car is unreal and mega quick but to me, 200 ish bhp is huge in a clio and the sound is awesome too!
@SharkyUK
I've noticed on your Type R forum the fantastic and amazing write up on your car, I've read most of it but it's epic! Reading the rest tonight over some Pepsi haha!
Anyone had their clio ITB'd from Andy?
Are they worth the money as opposed to a turbo? And what's the real world power differences and feels? Both in gear and setting off etc?
Any regrets or bad points?
Was wanting to turbo but think a bit less power might be better thus less strain on...
My mates car was like that. Took AF combo 3 with two hits then number 2 and triple to get it out fully. Just wouldn't go haha horrendous that though haha!
@chrisparker94 cheers buddy, she's a very different car now yes haha. I think she's a very good example now, sort of oem+ look I'm going for haha. Finished now though after a RARB and remap!
