Same engine, different EUC and Airbox. 5 Speed box.
I think. Im sure there was another difference.
I wont be putting any badges on my car because people will flame me and badging a non-rs is immoral.
No. Definately not. Its got a gearbox and airbox from a clio 197 with different gear ratios, thats as far as it goes. Everything else is 1.6 clio or nissan micra.
Its a 1.6 clio with odd bits. Interior is not far off a 197 either.
Debadge it ftw.
Check your brakes regularly. If you hear scraping when turning or in slow moving traffic you might have a seized caliper. I have this problem and ive got towed to renault this morning by RAC. I had to go with them and drive behind them as my car was too low to fit on the ramp...
Right so ive got my car to be recovered and taken down to the renault garage for new pads and discs to be fitted. Ive got coilovers. The car is a year old.
There is a possibility that if my caliper is seized i will be able to claim on warranty, but what im asking is, is my warranty void. i...
I dont like roast pork. Some people do though.
In my opinion, its okay to look after you car and detail it. But it is a car at the end of the day. Not a pork joint.
Not quite sure if i hate the 200 or just moderately think its okay, although in some pics (below) it looks great. I dont care how chuckable these things are i would never buy one. Meggy 250 on the other hand i would defo consider.
You need a pressure washer, and a £50 attachment lance thing.
See i4detailing and use the cliosport discount code.
I like the citrus stuff over the normal which is also available at i4detailing.
Really? Never knew that. Considering it wasnt genuine renault i was after, i couldnt find anyone within my local area that stocked the pads i wanted. Ive been told i can expect the pads for wednesday....
+1 for green stuff being s**t.
Just rang Venom Motorsport 15 mins ago they said theyd ring back in 5 mins. Their willingness to communicate is pretty non existant i think. I know its not their fault and ive told them that but f**k me. I need to get some standard pads asap just so i can use my...
im getting some genuine renault pads if they arent going to arrive any time soon as a friend can get me them at trade price within hours. Ill ask fred and see what he can do for me.
Ill get the rust off no problem.
Awsome. So, my pads were getting a bit low, immediately ordered a set of brembo standard discs and Ferodo DS Performance pads to replace them 3-4 weeks ago. Brembo's arrived within about a week, i expected the pads to be here in similar time as they were supposedly in stock at venom motorsport...
Poorboys Black Hole, easy to use and hides swirls incredibly well. No shame in hiding!!
Wax with a decent wax. Trust me when i say 476s is not a good looking wax, and iirc your GT is black? Expect cloudy finish with that stuff. Use it to seal your wheels and door shuts.
Vics Red Concours wax...
I might stick my 25mm ones back on the front. but each time i have, it always looks too wide IMO. The tyre stick out further than the skirts, much further, and it looks stoopid. Wish mine could look like this...
I think my car is just s**t. lol.
Blackfire is good
Megs Red is amazing but it marrs the s**t out of your car, great for pre machine polishing.
Sonus is fantastic
CYC Blue is w**k
Megs Quick Clay bar is pretty poor too IMO.
BH clay is also great, BH is probably one of my favorites although its a bit....sticky, not sure how to...
Ive bought a new 750 HX from Ebuyer as im starting to fall behind with uni work and this is taking the biscuit now.
Ive offered them the opportunity of me buying the 850HX, if they refund me the 750 HX on RMA, they can sell the 750HX when they recieve it as a new one as it will be factory...
Its grey now, but yeah, the sonus stuff. Dont use the blue CYC value stuff, its utter shite.
Clay removes bonded contaminates btw not swirl marks. If you want to clay it then get rid of swirls then use a product like poor boys black hole glaze which will hide swirls then wax it or apply a...
Ive used this before, but only to take care of pitting in alloys. Ive got to tackle my car, the entire right side of my car and my boot is covered in rust, the door sils have piles of rust too. Basically, my front driver side brake is fucked, metal on metal, still waiting on my pads although i...
Sorry my post read a bit shitty. Need pics !! I was pleased first time i used mine. although i found out that Megs 80 had fillers and bought a new set of pads and polishes and started again.
Its not hard, using a DA, doesnt take long to get used to. You soon see how it works. Dave KG's guide is useful. I never bothered using a scrap pannel until I started using rotary and even then it was to test what kind of damage it could do.
Well they rc'd it on the 4th of this month. Ive not seen a replacement yet, i was told i would be sent a replacement within the week, by them. c***s...... Still no PC ffs. f**k Corsair and f**k OCUK.
I know, its not as bad as people make out i think. My mate spilled half a bottle on the garage floor and we were working in it for about 4 hours. Weve used it before a few times.
