Welcome to the club, where abouts in the West Mids are you? iIm from Coventry and there are quite a few West Mids members dotted all over the region, even as far north as Stoke, get yourself in the West Mids regional section to see what's going on meet wise.

I'd say no, even the rubber one leaks from time to time, so i'd expect the copper crush one's to drip like a leaky tap, I could be wrong though as i've never used one on the sump.

Could do they're rubber after all, but usually if they're gone the whole engine and box moves and causes the manifold to clunk into it's heatshield, plus your throttle response won't be as sharp because of all the movement. Also if you start chasing squeaks and rattles in a Mk2 Clio you'll be...

In the park and ride car park at the Memorial park 11am, still there at 12:30pm when I left.

A loud clunking when letting the throttle on and off, even at slow speeds, it's usually the dog bone that's the problem, but doing all three at once is usually best.

The one on the right with the rubber O ring, the other one is the copper crush washer for the gearbox.

Definitely needs to be toned down a bit, the whole point in projects like that is to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, not all 'look at me i'm a fast car in a van's body', kind of defeats the point.

Yeah well as a BMX enthusiast you've probably fell on your head a few times, so you can be forgiven.

Oh I don't know, some decent rims get it slammed on the deck with some wicked stance and it would still look sh*t.

My steering wheel vibrated so much at 60mph it phased out of our space time continuum, but when I got it to 80mph it went back to normal. The first time my headcase best mate got in the car he screamed 'F*CKING SLOW DOWN MAN'! Because the car was rattling that much, I told him I wasn't even...

OH FFS not another one! Metro's are cool and that's the end of it, anyone that say's otherwise is wrong.

It upsets me that so many people were embarrassed to own Metro's, I had one as my first car, it was an utter shed that was keyed on every panel, the whole thing vibrated and rattled so much I thought it was was going to fall apart at times, but I loved it, it was freedom and independence from...

Yeah it's got a real 'f*ck your show car sh*t i'm all business' look to it.

I love ugly ducklings like this, the wheels make it look so purposeful.

Love the wheels on the black one in the last shot.

Clio 172, faggoty little woman's car.

I have no idea what any of that stuff is other than 'an engine', but it looks like it could rip a hole through time!

That was mental, you were running on metal! My Brembo pads didn't last much longer, I think I got 3 laps in before they vanished in a big black cloud of dust. Although for road use the Brambo pads are quite good, i'm currently on Pagid from EPC, they're lasting reasonably well.

That would have looked amazing! Really not keen on the colour or the wheels, but I doubt i'd let that get in way of me having a go in it.

Yours, can't stand the new shape Clio.

^^^LOL nice! I don't get why they've bothered calling it a Gumball meet then, it's just another r****d car meet.

I bet hardly any of the cars that showed up are actually going on the Gumball.

The Wagon is the connoisseurs choice. He's done a good job of f*cking that car up.

Yep it'll be your dog bone, perfect opportunity to buy some Power Flex bushes and upgrade, they're only £30 quid(ish) and they last a lot longer than standard, it won't make the ride harsh or anything, it'll just get rid of the knock.

FLOL!

No not really, it'll get all the cold air it needs from the front grill.
