Well Ive sent back the one that they sent me which was wrong. You wouldnt have thought it would be that difficult for the distributors to get right - I put in an order for a custom sized (short but fat) BMW 3.0 Z3 box - and then ended up getting the smallest and puniest of their standard...

Driveshaft/cv joint?

Yeah Carno does all sorts. I think it was LUke B who worked at some ICE place, cant remember the name of it now though!

Errr well most cars will pull all over the place if youre braking hard into a corner. Thats why once youre used to the brakes and how they load up, you should brake as late and hard as possible in a straight line, then get straight on the go pedal and give it as much throttle as it will take...

Interesting idea Joe, but if youre going for a full on transplant, wouldnt you be better just getting a 1.2, dropping in the V6 and then sorting the suspension out? PLus wont the weight of the V6 slow the car down to a certain extent, just like in the V6 Clio? Although I suppose youd have good...

Well dont know about Thames Valley, Thames Estuary is more my neck of the woods! Theres a big Southend meet on the 3rd August.

I love the way the Scooby looks. Might be a lot more common on our roads now, but theres no mistaking what it is.

hehe i got about 100 I think, luckily it takes me longer to delete them all than it does to download the whole lot!

Vanishing point is a phrase used in many ways, commonly in art I believe to describe the point at which the two lines of a train track or something similar will turn into a single point. Was also a wicked track on New Orders seminal Technique album.

Well seeing it like that it makes you wonder where the 25 grand went...

Just look on the members discount page its all there.

No parts online for the old 16v/Williams or indeed any of the original Clios. But I got in touch with them this afternoon and theyre sending me the printed catalogue, so Ill let you all know what bits and pieces they have when it arrives.

Well Ive got a JBL 4 channel amp and it has never popped even once!

Yeah Wongys looks quality now its all done tidy and everything. Shame he almost couldnt get it on the rollers cos it was scraping!

Well it depends -have you got a Group N Clio?

Best way is to put them on and see what happens. If the worst comes to the worst itll be cutting some plastic out of the front wings and chucking the sh*tguards away. The back will probably go on fine.

So it seems! Maybe everyone likes the alcantara?

Go for leather. The Clio (at least the 16v/Willy) already has decent seats so you dont need buckets.

Joe, yes I am using the signal from the lama sensor and before you say it, no I am not going to drive around with a bloody great lab-quality exhaust gas analyser bolted into my tailpipe. My lamda sensor readings have been checked against external gas analysing equipment and it is reading...

I thought they were slightly too long?

Well I already had a power boost valve IMHO not the greatest mod in the world for a standard-ish car, but bloody handy when youre running gas. I have a fuel pressure gauge tapped into the side of mine so I can alter fuel pressure according to ambient temperature; that way I get a consistent...

hehe I knew youd have to answer that one Joe! but whatever you say, and a lot of it makes sense, as an ex-engineer I simply cannot accept theoretical arguments that dont match the facts that I see every day in my car, having experimented with many different induction systems. It is only in...
