i think the wheels look alright tbh, nice design and different from the norm!
ifail!! the wheels in the external link are wrong!! the wheels in the above posts are nice though!! :)
the exhaust on the other hand, is a different story!!
and wouldnt have really said it was that "low"
list of mods, pics, where was the RR done and dates? who did the tuning and mapping??
these things might twig memories!! but it sounds like a pretty epic ph1!

i spy myself a beeson!! ;)
looks really clean and fresh man!! look forward to seeing the engine in situe!!
also spy myself a crane that i need to borrow sometime in july! ;)
really like the alloys, think theyll look ace....
however not a bit fan of the wing mirrors!! anything that can be picked up in the halfords boy racer section is a big no for me!!
looks like youre putting a lot of love into her though! :). defs get the dual optics for the front and ph2 rears...
a girl thats into modded clios and racing.....your boyfriend's a lucky man!!
welcome to CS, clio looks smart, perhaps a RS grill to smarten the front up, and RS interior for the inside??
plans sound good though, any intention on changing the wheels??
edit: i just read the end of your post...
Under the section 1.1 of the class 3,4,5 and 7 mots (which are cars/vans) titled "Front and Rear Position lamps and Registration Plate Lamps"
This inspection applies to
all vehicles, except those which either have no front or rear positionlamps or have such lamps permanentlydisconnected...
Im aware that you can get an MOT to cover you only for daytime use, and will therefore not need headlights.
my question however is, with a regular MOT, can you remove the headlights and fit headlight blanks, providing youre only driving in the daytime??
i seriously dont see what anyones really gaining from this!!
other than sauber will loose any support from people who dislike the chelsea football team!! (which is quite a large number of people)
id leave powdercoating the rocker cover until you get cams!! youll need all the cam locking tools to take the rocker cover off!! (stupid design i know)
it was a joke dude lol,
as for hiding the lights, you can just take the clocks apart and put tape over the offending LEDs someone on here recently did just that and it worked a treat!

please dont cut your springs lol,
the raceland coilovers are good pieces of kit for the non-sports lows!!
but as said i think k-tec have once again bought up the entire stock so they can stamp their name on them and sky rocket the price! :(
how do you get to the captive nut on the otherside of the middle bolt (furthest away in the picture??)
when trying to take my hanger off, two the end two snapped and the middle one just spins!! :(
im going to custom fit a completely different hanger seeing as the renault ones are pretty poor...
surely the inner sleeve should be the length of the gap in the subframe,
and very srong, and the same length as the bush, so its quite baffling why the bush is allowing for such deformation as its implying the 10mm layer of material between the inner and outer sleeve is allowing for a lot amount...
i believe it is simply pushed into the cylinder so i dont think changing it will be much of an issue, but it may be worth addressing why this has happened as i dont think its a very common occurance, and definatley not normal!! lol
im assuming when you took the pics that the centre sleeve had already been removed?? (just checking)
thats an awesome video btw, but with the centre sleeve it place, its showing the entire bush deforming under the lateral force!
So you jumped from the supplied sleeve not welded in to the apparantly discontinued flared sleeves that are imo too short.
have you not tired to supplied sleeves welded in?? which is the the recomended way to fit them by powerflex??!
you cen see from this pic, how short your sleeves are...
isnt the taped sleeve the one you said powerflex took off their line because it caused problems? why are you using it then???
and if using the correct sleeve then it obviously can go out further, because thats how everyone else has mounted theirs!! (and theyre not having these problems)
tbh, i...
also it would really help if you could take some pictures of the wishbones NOT on the car. if the inner sleve is in place, even if the outer sleeves were a bit too short (which is stand by the fact that they are) there still shouldnt be that much movement to the point of the outer sleeve hitting...
youre saying that the wishbone is being allowed to move so far that the very large and obvious bend in this sleeve was caused by the wishbone?!
that is about 10mm of lateral movement!! something is seriously wrong, if the polyeurethane is there and cased both sides witha metal sleeve inside and...
the welding is also terrible!! very low contact with the wishbone and its just blob of weld!!
and you also havnt explained why the sleeves are bent?!
theyre terribly fitted so everythings just going to come back to that issue first!! lol
get some new wishbones and use the normal sleeves and...
