    Sub Question

    yes, (though putting the words gain and volume next to each other saddened me! gain is for setting the input of the amp to match the output voltage of the headunit. Amps are designed to amplify up to a cetrain level, however headunits kick out different voltage output, and the amp need to know...

    "fully moded fiesta"

    cant believe how much work would have gone into this, and it doesnt look very nice at all, hate being able to see all the suspension parts (including the tiny disc brakes and drums) through the gaping holes in Mahoosive rims! lol

    Sub Question

    true say! RMS is the only figure worth paying attenetion to. but even this figures can be over done! look up the loudest.com www.theloudest.co.uk best example! obscene max power ratings, but awful RMS values! and ive heard them, they produce next to no sound, and what sound they produce is...

    Strange handbrake problem

    the brake shoes are like metal arcs with brake pad material on the outside, that push outward as you brake, when the pads get low, pieces of braking material can separate from the arc and fall into the drum, if these pieces get lodged anywhere inside the drum it will effect the braking...

    Sub Question

    just for starters, underpowering a sub, will in no way harm it what so ever! you underpower a sub everytime you turn the volume down! and adding a powercap will be a complete waste of money. they're over marketed crud that are useless in 90% of cases, look at the science behind how capacitors...

    Strange handbrake problem

    wouldnt have thought it would be connected to the handbrake, they work off different systems. the handbrake is probs the cable snapping to one of the drums, hence making the cable a lot more slack and meaning you have to pull it up further to secure the car, jack the back up with the handbrake...

    A good amount to lower...

    not a clue man, the rears on 90mm custom springs, and as for the front i have no idea, 90-100, doesnt rub because.... small wheels, small (stretched) tyres, offset of only et13 (et8 with spacers at the front) and very very still suspension.

    What driveshaft on a 1.2??

    cheers dude, might just pull the current one out, but it would dump all the gearbox oil and the car will have to stay where it is until the jobs done, not really convenient when working outside your parents house lol.

    What driveshaft on a 1.2??

    Have to fix a bent driveshaft on a 1.2 8v 2000 plate clio, but looking on the bay for a rough idea on second hand prices, i seem to have come across two different driveshaft, one has a straight end, and the other.......well........doesn't. ive included links to the two different ones, any...

    max wheel offset

    how high is your car?? how wide are the wheels?? are you refering to MOT basis?? or looking silly basis?? 49 offset is going to put the wheels right inside the arch? why in gods name would you do that?? you may have to remove the weatherguards, but 9mm's in isnt going to do too much...

    harnesses with back seats still in

    problem with that plan is, my harnesses are bolted into the holes where the seatbelt clips used to be, so you can have the rear seats in, but no seatbelts, (MOT fail). I did this for a while until i just did away with the rear seats anyway, (i avoided using them most of the time) only other...

    decisions desicions

    well id be more likely to strip as much as i can, doors, boot, glass, bumpers, shocks, springs, brakes lights,and so on, but as you say theres more money in keeping it and taking all the little bits off as people want them. but i dont really want it cluttering up my drive, but how much...

    not quite sure it would be cost effective, the waste of potential sales would far out weight the savings in central heating and lighting :(

    Re: WUT i like how no matter how serious that is, the guy still gets off at this exit!! you would have thought he'd phone the police or something. i can see where people are coming from saying its fake, how would it get there?? and how has it not been picked up on one of the thousands of...

    No sidelights?

    back in the days when i had angel eyes, they broke and i rolled around with no sidelights for months, MOT came, stole my sisters, and gave them back after the MOT, this went on for ages, the point of them is when its still light enough to see without headlights on, but it helps other...

    No spring in ignition barrel!

    did you get a new barrel?? how much did it sting you?? the cars getting fixed to sell on, so would rather keep to the factory options, im guessing theres no way of opening the motor either?
  30. Struggler

    No spring in ignition barrel!

    As above, turn the ignition on, turn the key to run the starter motor, and theres no spring, no resistance as you turn the key, and key will stop where ever you let it go, you have to physically turn it back to turn the starter motor off! any suggestions??
