Yeah but at least your doing a grease monkey course, so someone's going to teach you the stuff you need to know. I'll be doing mine with absolutely f*ck all knowlege. lol

Could you have a go at rebuilding one with a Haynes manual, an internet connection and zero mechanical knowledge? I really want one and have been told by quite a few people they're great cars to learn on, as they're basically a giant meccano set.

Why start a new thread? This one is all about Mini's and it'll soon be about you rebuilding yours, plus I can't be arsed to learn a new thread title, I don't go in for all this 'subscribed' b*llocks.

Same here, recently i've been looking at other cars on here, WRX Wagons, classic Mini's, Volvo's, and when i'm sat here I often think I wish I had something else to drive every now and again. But today I had the dog kennel screaming and realised, F*CK THAT this things friggin' epic!!!

Well everyone says it's easy, but I nearly cried trying to get mine off, in the end I gave up and just masked up the front of the car, put newspaper behind the grill and sprayed it still attached.

Get the belts done pump the tyres up job done, maybe change the steering wheel at a later date. Low mileage Ph1s are like rocking horse sh*t, rare as f*ck.

I would say so, mine are f*cked after 10 years. lol

Shiny. :cool: Does your grill need a coat of satin black aswel, or is it just the light?

I use 33 on the front and 31 on the back, but 30 on the back's fine. I thought my car was broken when I got new tyres, took a while for them to grip properly, it's normal.

Love a nice flamer, have you had your wheels refurbed or did they come like that?

I didn't notice mine until i saw a photo of it, it's such an easy job but it makes a massive difference.

Nice. :cool: The first job on the list would be a coat of satin black for the grill.

Why is the arch gap so high when it's on the floor?

Wrong!!! May I refer you to these two.

That's f*cking amazing!!!

In that case i'd go for that with a few black accent pieces, wheels, bumpers, trim, etc.

Good thinking, but don't you think silver is...well...a bit boring?

Yeah because that paint won't be expensive at all. ;)

It is, but it'd be better if it was all black.

There was a 7 parked a few doors down from my house today, I was mighty impressed as everyone round here is from the shallow end of the gene pool. They must have been visiting, as none of the locals have that good taste.

Ohh good call Noah, but why not go all the way and paint it NATO green? On second thoughts no don't, that's what colour mine's going to be.

Plug an RSTuner in or a Renault clip tool, see what the ecu tells you. So why did they get rid of it on the Ph2s then?

Apparently it's the big red button you said you checked behind the ecu.

Ahh right, so what would trigger that then fuel leak or something?

RSTuner remap would sort out that low down power, it's also the cheapest way to remap a Clio, 1*2s have nothing until 5k rpm.

Well i've learnt something new today, is it some kind of kill switch?

No it's definitely brown, Maroon = Brown in my world. ;)

Put it on the floor, some nice alloys and just drive it. Save up a some money and a few more years no claims, then buy something better.

Even if it can but put back to standard, it's brown! :dead:

Clifford? :S
