    replacing gearbox oil question

    It hold 3 litres do I doubt you've lost it all otherwise your drive would be covered, you can't really check the level apart from buying a litre of oil, undoing the plastic screw on the front of the box and topping it up until it leaks out, then you know you have the right amount, it's a very...

    Clio Modifying - if you could start over where would you go....

    Make sure you look over your shoulder the next time go you into the woods. There's alot of inexpensive things you can do to these cars that improve and optimise their performance, to say don't bother and save your money implies Renault have done an absolutely perfect job in the first place and...

    Crail - 12/04/15 (Performance Ford Day)

    Is it me or does that drag strip go straight over the edge of a cliff? Is it just an eight of a mile?

    Clio Modifying - if you could start over where would you go....

    They're sh*t out the box, f*ck all power before 5k rpm, too much body roll and a pea shooter exhaust that rots off as soon as it's gets wet.

    Clio Modifying - if you could start over where would you go....

    I'd buy a car that already had all the modifications I intended on doing because it would a damn sight cheaper doing them myself. But assuming I had a standard car i'd do the exact same things again : Brembo HC discs and pads Braided steel brake lines with good quality brake fluid Eibach...

    [Aug 1, 2015] ClioSport Saturday 2015 (Blyton, Gainsborough)

    Probably not, I haven't had a drink in quite a while, so if I suddenly started knocking it back i'd probably get alcoholic poisoning.

    [Aug 1, 2015] ClioSport Saturday 2015 (Blyton, Gainsborough)

    I'll probably book it closer to the date, I won't be doing any track time as the car needs too much work to safely blast about lap after lap.

    Roadkill

    Roadkill's always had sponsorship from Dickies so that's not something that bothers me, what bothers me is that wasn't a Roadkill episode, just because it says Roadkill and has the two of them in it doesn't mean it is, Roadkill is about taking total death traps usually from a junk yard, cramming...

    Educate me on 1*2 gearboxes

    JC5 130 has the circlip bolted in place, JC5 129 and lower don't, being a cup your car is more than likely a 129, the 130's are also non speedo drive so if your box is a 129 speedo drive you can't swap it for a 130.

    Can't open the boot!!!

    You'll need to climb in the back and unscrew the plastic cover on the boot, it's one screw, then you just pull it off as it's secured with poppers, inside the boot is a metal bar that moves the lock, you'll need to push/pull it to get the boot open. You'll more than likely need a new solenoid...

    My old K11 Micra!

    Why does the car scene always have to consist of serious and worthwhile mods, or styling that fits in with everyone's version of what's looks cool, surely there's room for cars that are a bit of a laugh and are modified as a f*ck about project? If i'd have seen it at a car show yes i'd have...

    help with horrendous noise

    The knocking when it's turned off sounds expensive, like new engine expensive.

    help with horrendous noise

    Usually when they sound like old diesel black cabs it's because the dephaser pulley's knackered, like this. But yours sounds alot worse than normal.

    No not in the slightest, all you'll do is strip the threads.

    Rear of the car too low

    Rear of the car too low

    They shouldn't be scraping with new shocks at all, the springs set the ride height and the shocks just damp the bumps out so the back doesn't bounce around and Cooksports don't lower the car that much, where are you in the country?

    uprated bushes etc.

    Anti roll bar bolted to the subframe, pretty easy to find it's the long bar that connects to both wishbones.

    Rear of the car too low

    The springs don't get removed to put new shocks in, I replaced mine before I knew anything about cars, it's a simple job that's pretty much impossible to screw up, unless your springs have somehow become unseated, but they'd have probably fallen out by now. Have you actually had a look at them...

    My old K11 Micra!

    How many did you crash? I crashed 2 cars in my first 2 years of driving, first car was a Rover Metro 1.1 I stuffed into the back of a Volvo, it survived but looked like a write off from then on, second car was a Rover 414 I crashed head on into some poor b*stard because i'd just come back from...

    My old K11 Micra!

    I thought it looked like a bit of a laugh until I saw the inside, how many leathery old cougars did you have to shag to get enough leopard print for the interior?
