I kind of want one.

Quite like these as a base for something, or just buy a load of them and cover the car. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-011-Renault-Sport-F1-Team-diamonds-decals-vinyl-graphics-stickers/253031764212?epid=11004147923&hash=item3ae9de50f4:g:FtsAAOSwXPNaRmzF

Don't ever get polybushed exhaust mounts, I swear i'd be better of with a block of wood.

Which is exactly what I thought when I used it to visit my Nan today.

Yeah i'm going to rip that boot lid off and throw it in the bin, f*cking thing drives me mental!! It's actually the Powerflex exhaust mount that's to blame, bloody thing has zero flex in it so all the vibration goes through the cabin.

Need to fit one of those to Scrooge's car.

How could I forget about the Chevy Step side pick up that looks like it's been left in the desert for 50 years!? That's possibly the coolest thing in that place.

Mate there are so many crazy cars that come and go in that yard it's mental, i've seen old V8 Jags, old BL trucks, various classics, there's currently a Capri 2.8i rolling shell, a Land Rover Lightweight, an MX5 drift car, a couple of off road prep'd Suzuki Vitara's with lift kits and winches...

Cheers lads i'm really happy with it, I think the biggest improvement (other than it works now) is the headlight restoration Ryan did, it's amazing how just having clear headlights can transform how an old car looks. I think i'm going to start looking after it a bit better now it's had so much...

First proper drive out today, after using the near silent Mazda and Passat all winter i'd forgotten how much the Clio feels and sounds like an angry old shed loosely held together with hopes, dreams, zip ties and gaffa tape (the last two are actually true), but i'd also forgotten how totally raw...

Are you talking full vehicle wrap, or something more generic that's easier to apply? There's loads of cheap vinyl stripes, logos and various other stuff on ebay you could do in sections that could make up a full livery without it costing the earth or looking like sh*t, depends how creative...

Dog bone support bar.

If you hadn't just had the whole lot replaced I would have said Dehasper, it's still a possibility but a knackered Dephaser sounds like a Black Cab's diesel engine. I'd take it back to the garage that did the work and see what they say, there'a a possibility that one of the parts was defective...

Not that i'm an expert but it sounds aux belt related, like a pump bearing is failing or something.

Did the water pump get replaced too?

Got it back yesterday with a fresh mot and re-taxed it after it's been sorn'd all winter, so good to back in my fast little toy, Ryan followed me home in his 200bhp Astra Diesel but he had no chance of keeping up when I opened it up a bit, neither did some fam in his Golf GTD when the lights...

No vid? We need to hear it.

Yeah that sounds terrible, get on ebay and buy yourself a cheap 3" back box sharpish.

Rip it out and stick fresh sheets on the fire wall. https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/heat-shielding-protection/nimbus-gii-heat-shield?source=aw&awc=6538_1520430688_1766243bd774f3567c704080ec1b9cef&utm_source=Affiliate_Window&utm_medium=Editorial+Content&utm_campaign=78888

Best way to know is have a look at the box your car has, you're looking for this, or lack of it. The orange stripe wire with the little metal heat shield, it's the speedo drive, as said if you have one you'll need a JC5 129. I have a 52 plate 172 and don't have a speedo drive so I always use...

I love this car, how massive were Volvo's back in the day, it's as long as a school bus! Can you get a photo of it parked next to a Merc Sprinter for comparison, I bet it wouldn't be far off the same length.

Obviously not at the moment, but come May I guess we'll all find out when the tighter rules come into effect, hopefully it's just a storm in a tea cup and nothing much will change.

Looks like my plans for a cage, buckets, harnesses and an aftermarket wheel are still on then, yes eventually it's only ever going to get used on track days, but as long as I do at least 1 timed event a year it can be classed as a competition car, or not, who knows? Certainly not the people that...

So potentially a stripped out track day Clio with full cage, buckets, harnesses, aftermarket steering wheel with no drivers airbag will pass as long as it can be classed as a competition car, but there in lies the problem, what is classed as competition, a timed event like a sprint, hill climb...

Anyone else find this extremely confusing? On the one hand the first statement says if you have extensive modifications such as no rear seats, a full cage, buckets and harnesses you will pass if you don't have a drivers airbag. But the second statement says if you have rally style seats (which...

But having buckets and harnesses means i've removed the curtain airbags that were in the original seats. I've just read a few different articles on these new rules and a lot of motoring organisations and classic car clubs are just as confused, one article I read said a new EU proposal stated...

So basically no interior mods are legal unless you can prove it's a competition rally car, so much for my plans for buckets, harnesses, aftermarket steering wheel and a cage. (unless I trailer it to the track) Although I have a standard interior except for the back seats removed to fit the dog...

So standard everything with a full cage and you'll pass. Buckets and harnesses alone you'll fail. Steering wheel with no airbag alone you'll fail. Buckets, harnesses, steering wheel and no cage you fail. But buckets, harnesses, aftermarket market steering wheel with a cage and you pass. Is...

Few more little problems sorted today at Ryan's garage, engine light came on the other day when he took it out for another shakedown, Ryan plugged his diagnostics in and it said brake pedal switch, air con compressor something or other (which is odd because the air con went in the bin years...

Just spray paint them black. Certainly does scrub up well, who'd have thought a healthy layer of dirt would protect the paint so well.
