there a 172 cup driving about my area,
in need of a clean, and desparate need of love some love, (doesnt sound too healthy)
in the light blue colour,
i see it all the time,
the bloke insides a million, ok more like 69
and driving it like a complete granny,
5th gear 20mph everywhere,
over reving...
is this a laughable idea??
i have blue cobra monacos an the front,
used to have a whole load of sound system, but thats all gone now,
with the interior back in, it just doesnt look right,
so its either a stripped out slowmobile,
or bye bye bucket seats and harnesses (they did make for a fun...
after reading FM-696's guide to painting (great guide btw, will be following it to the letter)
i realise im not gonig to be able to do a proper paint job on my front bumper without taking it off :(
now this leaves me with an obvious problem,
i dont need the car next week, but in case theres...
clios been in my family for a while,

Right, after not having a sub in my car for about a month,
i finally get another jbl 1201.1 amp,
i install it, but dont get to blast it at all, (the mrs dont like it:()
but today i was with my mate,
and we turned it up, and it cuts out,
keep it a very low volume, its fine.
the amp was last...
Does anyone have a picture of the back of these lights,
the side that you dont normally see,
because im very confused,
do the mk2 ph2's bulbs connect to the clusters a different way??
and do they not use the same bulb holder??
why does so much changing to the wiring have to be done...
have lowered my clio on apex 60mm,
(came with free back problems!!!)
i like the hight it sits,
but i want to strip it out now and i think it will look too 'nose down'
is there anywhere that sell rear springs only, and what sort of prices are we looking at.
I have just fitted a pipercross airfilter and oil breather,
ive raised the bonnet to clear the strut brace,
and now i can smell the fumes from the oil breather if i turn the blowers on,
after hearing long ago that the fumes are faaaaaaaaaaaar from good for you, i spent the rest of the...
basically, im on a bit of a de-chaving spree
(tints off, black rear lights changed for ph2 ones)
i have a rediculous remus twin exit exhaust

Sorry if this is in the wrong section,
but a week or so ago, pulling back my right stalk began to do nothing,
it doesnt spray the screen, and it doesnt automatically do the wipers,
is disregarded it at the time thinking it was just out of water,
so i go to fill it up today,
and it overflows...
when giving it some, (in a 1.2 :approve:)
changing up for 1st to 2nd, about 5500rpm
if you change too quick, it chrunches going into 2nd,
no power loss or anything,
gear box has enough oil
and cluch is less than a year old,
anyone??

was wondering,
is there any different between coilovers to fit and mk2ph1 1.2
and coilovers to fit a mk2ph1 172?
im guessing the ones for the 172 would be stiffer and the front,
but are any of the fitaments different??
Got in the car today to go to work,

had a clio sport sticker on the rear quartre window,
next to a ktec sticker i believe,
sitting on what looked like turinis and black lexarse lights

would i just run the power wire to the front of the car and connect it where the power used to run to the battery??,
and earth the negative to the boot floor??
what size cable would i need??
cheers
have a flushed boot
so no recess on the boot,
and no recess on the bumpers,
was wondering where people would suggest putting the numberplate,
because i dont think stuck in the back window is exactly legan :S
