    Just read the whole thing, looks like it'll be amazing this year.

    You need to change your spell checker to English UK instead of English US.

    Colour has a 'U' in it, unless you're American in which case carry on.

    182 Dogbone fitment issues.

    Modern things, you mean like bushes that every car has had since the 1800's?

    182 Dogbone fitment issues.

    Hardest bit is getting the old rubber out, pressing in the polybushes is relatively easy, can't see how they couldn't do it, unless they couldn't be bothered.

    182 Dogbone fitment issues.

    If they haven't fitted it properly i'd definitely get it sorted.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    I doubt it, they usually just buy a new one or put Powerfelx mounts in so they don't have to replace it again.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    Certainly looks right.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    I had the same thing with my K-Tec / Vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts, from what people had said I was expecting a jack hammer under the bonnet, when in fact I felt nothing other than solid acceleration from a well secured drive train.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    I've heard loads of people make out they vibrate like a rampant rabbit, I noticed nothing at all other than the manifold clunk disappearing.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    There not it's two bolts.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    It didn't cause vibrations in mine and budget mounts usually go wrong with a month, even my uprated engine mounts which people say are unbearable didn't cause any extra vibrations in mine.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    Didn't in mine, just stopped everything moving about, plus most people that have reported extra vibration say it only happens at idle when sat still.

    Is this engine mount knackered

    The dog bone mount can look perfect but be as soft as chewing gum, for the price of a new one you can buy Powerflex bushes that won't wear out as quick.

    Those that hated the driving position what did you do next?

    By that definition the dog kennel's the coolest Clio on here, it goes through fuel like a hooker goes through condoms, and my seats are nice and low.

    I meant your 2 seater bender mobile I forgot we were talking about 172's, I wasn't concentrating.

    As if that Matchbox toy of yours is capable of racing the speed limit.

    Must be the way I drive then, 70-80 on the motorway, but around town I drive normally and I still get sh*t mpg, maybe it's because of the 98ron map or something.

    Those that hated the driving position what did you do next?

    Is it b*llocks! I barely get 38mpg and I have to be doing constant motorway speeds for over an hour to get that, around town I get around 32-35.

    Not long, the hardest bit is getting to the bolts under the car, you'll need a deep socket set and the car has top be jacked up to get at the ones near the handbrake, it does make it difficult to slide the seats back and forth as the runners rub on the carpet.

    Those that hated the driving position what did you do next?

    I removed the spacers and cut the carpet away to get my seats lower, I now feel like i'm sitting in the car rather than on it.

    Back in a Scoob

    I was under the impression that a decent filter, exhaust and a remap by someone that knows what they're doing would take a standard WRX to around 260bhp, or is it the case that even at that power it's still slow because they're heavy cars?

    There's always been an non Clio section, which tbh I find far more interesting that looking at a thousand identical cars.

    Big Power Scoob

    I like that it's almost a sleeper in terms of how it looks, you'd never know it was running massive power from the outside.

    The Ford Appreciation Thread

    What's worse is it's unsaleable as it is, so they'll more than likely tear it apart and sell it in bits.
