Took the trip over to Keltec today to get a quote on removing my manifold flange and getting a vband and flexi welded in but they were pretty expensive so I didn't bother in the end. I just got them to buzz up the backbox brace as I had noticed when doing the polybushes that the welds had...

This is literally just down the road from there, maybe was you?

Hud

Had tinted windows I believe

Saw a Monaco 172 earlier on the roundabout down Leeds road near the retail park (one just off the ring road)

To be honest, it's not that overbearing! It's fairly hard, but I think that's probably down to solid engine mounts/topmounts and bilsteins rather than all the bushes being black series.

Think people have tried this before with little success. Appreciate it if you try though mate! Got my evol mount today that I'll fit this weekend Also some clips to go into my grill

Does everyone's clio not whine in 1st? Mines always done it. Sounds like reverse does 😂

Mines fine and definitely doesn't make that noise. Yours black or red?

Looks great for a wrap though mate! Loads better than how they were glossy. Did you use a hairdryer to soften it when applying?

I mean the surround part is tacky plastic. The top dash centre part if that makes sense haha. I'm not fussed it's not really a big panel so not too scratched

Popped over to see @bloke last weekend to have some black series steering rack and rear beam bushes fitted to complete the Polybush package throughout the car. It's something I wouldn't have wanted to attempt on the floor due to access and it being a pain in the arse! Thankfully all went well...

Box done with northloopcup and either fitted at Mick at diamond or ddc

Halifax Maccies? ;)

Get the box oil changed. Mine used to crunch into 3rd sometimes then after changing the oil it never did it again

Does your gearstick move when putting your foot down? I'm running a vibratechnic solid mount purely for the fact everything else is solid. I think gearbox wise OEM brand new can be decent. It's whether you take the punt and fit and forget solid. Your choice! I'd take a look at the polybushed...

Believe he's talking about a factory 182 wheel, not aftermarket.

There's a guide in the paid up members part for removing the cruise control buttons. All easy to change over. Guides for it all.

Mine doesn't seem to be wearing the carpet or damaging it but it is initially a little hard to move. I never move my seat anyway as I HATE adjusting it. Access the nuts from under the car (2 are hidden behind grommets) then tilt it forwards and backward to reveal the spacers clipped in...

I've posted in my thread with a reply to you if you've seen. There are 3 additional bolts to remove. If you put a jack under the engine or gearbox, then remove the top nut and 2 smaller bolts on the Centre mount itself then lower the jack slightly and tap the mount with a hammer it'll pop it...

You can get away without removing it as you can just grind the captive off the back through the wing then nut and bolt it unless it's moved. There's 3 bolts down there that need removing to access the main mount if your 4th is snapped. Shouldn't need to remove the gearbox mount itself. If you...

Most likely battery going off the symptoms of the needle flickering rapidly. They do this when low. I wouldn't worry, cold weather kills batteries. Just put a multimeter on the terminals whilst running to check it's voltage

I used the red powerflex ones and got no noticeable added vibration. Everything else is black series powerflex though so maybe I just don't notice it! They fitted really easily with a vice. Just need to make sure that all the old rubber is cut out and use fairy liquid on it all. The only gripe...

Just wondering how you know it's 196 bhp as everyone always says the cars are cammed when they're not

What cams you running in your clio?

Just set fire to the car, then you'll have no water issues.

Darren says it's fine

You can get away with removing the driveshaft by removing the tre and balljoint, pushing wishbone down and turning hub right round on lock. It's tight but you can remove the shaft.

You parked behind me whilst I was bowling
