i think it goes both ways, you could say you didnt look and pulled out or you could say the person behind was not paying attention and reacted at the last second, everybody makes mistakes and with so many cars on the roads you have to anticipate a lot of mistakes! One thing i always tell my...

the £300 jobbie was done in wolverhampton, but the guy who did it didnt use the low bake oven (as he hasnt got one) and it looks like the paint froze before it set properly. Also parts of the car are different colours. cliospares in wolvo seemed a good bet they had a clio on a trailer looked...

1994 16v, 27k when i bought it, last september, now it has 45k

just found cliospares from the links/contacts page, they,ve now quoted me £1500 + a bit extra for the debadgeing etc.

i inquired today, about a full respray in mg grey (the new ones) and a few other things, fully colour coded, badges, rear wiper arm removed and smoothed, little bits of rust sorting out. he quoted roughly 2k. did this seen about right? ive had a £300 job done before and thats why it now needs...

at the midland rolling road day, benh and ben j both made around 10 bhp more in their 16v than mine, we all have similar mods but they two have both got decat pipes.

fred i saw that nova, just after the smash, how on earth the r5 drove away was a miricle! the nova was wrecked. Also up merryhill some nob heads rolled an old nova down a hill on fire, plus one time a nova pulled out infront of 200sx. that made a nice mess! Its all the novas fault lol!

i used a roll of double sided tape for mine, cost me a pound from b&q. i thought they might fall off when the tape got wet but it has held up fine

i did two runs, using a stopwatch, got 7.44 and 7.52, just myself in the car, hill power chip and ik, scorpion cat back exhaust.

hey i had a 1 litre micra for a first car! dusted loads of cars with it, (well 1.1 fiestaS and morris 1000s) mega reliable, fantastic for wheelspinning cus of the skinney tires, in the wet could get it spinning in third. qouted as top speed of 88mph, i got mine well off the clock at 100. used...

my mate had the wright idea, buy a cack old metro for a fiver. jump on the roof a bit and hit a few walls, (gently they are held together by the rust) he used to leave it in the dogiest parts of walsall and wolverhampton, with unlocked doors and open windows and noone ever touched it. Actually i...

my bros mate has a 19 16v which is basically the same engine, it has now clocked up nearly 170k, has had the headgasket done twice, but it does get a lot of abuse!

my 16vs clutch is heavy, but not as heavy as my mates old morris 1100. two footed job with help from the passengers needed!!

i have a scorpion cat-back exhaust, fitted at demon tweeks, knocks like a postie on drugs! apparently though it should have had an extra mount fitted near the middle, i cant even park on the driveway cus the exhaust scrapes.

wouldnt mind a trip down myself, only live in walsall which aint too far.

i can vouce for nicks, damn good for one 10"!!

my mate has a 220 bhp severn valley motorsport escort rs turbo, and it is incredibally quick, when he first had it, it would spin the tryes in the dry through the first 3 gears. Unfortunately pushing that much power through an old 1.6 engine has taken its toll, he has spent about £1500 on new...

mike that sounds like a good idea, my girfriend had an accident in her fiesta and her insurance company sent it to AUTOBASE, IN DARLASTON, WALSALL, they charged direct line for a new tyre and wheel, and when my girfriend recently had a flat tyre took out the spare, and hey presto thats where...

1 litre micra, took it off the clock at 100, rt 115, clio 16v 140

bentley turbo, in my old rt, down some very twisty roads that i knew particularly well, he wansnt pleased!

ben-1uk yeah if you have their number that would be sound, i work in aldridge and i think i may pass it on a morning to work, but not 100% sure on that.

know what you mean i live in walsall, want to get my valver fully sprayed in the summer, had some work done before but it has gone crap, doors a different colour to rest of car, laquer is coming off the roof, sunroof leaks, and all the paints chipping off the bonnet. might have a gander at this...

well it was about -1 when i got there at 8.45 and about 5 degrees when i left 4 hours later.

could look at bass-junkies.com, how about spending the money on one decent sub, and getting a decent amp, ive heard quality single subs, pounding out serious bass, more than two or three average subs.

nice one, it was a cold morning, at least it was sunny, i only made 112 bhp at the wheels, next mods, cold air feed to iduction kit and a de-cat pipe i think!

i have seen this film, it is exellent, one funny thing is at one point she lops on the handbrake, spins THE REAR wheels sprays the bad guys with gravel, then releases the handbrake and carries on. kind of a weird thing to do a a 4 wheel drive car!

a chap at work bought one not long back, said it was mentally quick, scared the crap out of him! but alas living in wolverhampton, within 2 days the theives were sniffing round it so he had to sell it on. not before pinching his cavalier sri. luckily he was driving round and seen it on a...

just sent off my details

daz has some pics of mine, maybe he can put them up, no idea how to do it myself!

ive had this with my rt and my 16v, with the rt i accidently got petrol on my hands whilst filling up, and inadvertantly spred it all over my steering wheel, making it stink of petrol everytime i got in. in the 16 valve, it was a perished pipe, was spraying petrol all over the engine, this...
