£200 quid is a good price for the labour on a clutch replacement and box swap.

Yep that's the one, only old 172s and Cups without abs have the speedo drive. Although both will work in your car, but the 130 has the bolted in circlip, so it's a slightly better design. When mine blew up I replaced it with a 130.

Well those two Escorts are going to make Gally cry when he sees them.

You'll need a JC5 130 box.

Diagnostic check for fault codes, probably find out it's a faulty abs sensor or something.

Mine rapes old ladies in Honda Jazz's all the time, it's can drive quite quickly as well.

Just take the diamond off and mask the front up, 10 minutes max.

Ferociously fast, I want it!!! Mine's only tw*tingly quick. :dapprove:

F*cking hell, is the spare off a Matchbox car?

I thought that but mine fell apart on a warm day, also a mate of mine with a DCI had his RS2s up the side of his car the other week when he had a blast on the last hot day we had. They're the best tyres i've ever had in wet conditions, but they just can't cope with warm dry roads.

Yes.

You can this one then.

You have a nice car and you'd be gutted if you had to take evasive action on the road and it ended up in a ditch upside down, get yourself 4 new tyres, for around £50 a corner you can get something good, then sell the 4 new budgets on ebay and claw back some money.

Not easy tbh, I had the use of a lift and two mechanics so we took the subframe off and did it the easy way by lying the subframe on the floor. I can't imagine how much of a ball ache it would be lying under the car with it on axle stands.

CS must have made Skoda so much money over the past couple of years.

Cool, not only do they have the whiteline arb for a good price, but they also sell decats to fit piper exhausts, which means I don't have to get one specially made for mine. :D

There you go mate, i've just done my arb so I went through all this the other week. Clio Ph1 2.0 16v RS-172: Outer mount - 22mm, Inner mount - 25mm Clio Ph2 2.0 16v RS-172: Outer mount - 23mm, Inner mount - 25mm Clio Ph2 2.0 16v RS-182: Outer mount - 22mm, Inner mount - 25mm Clio 2.0 16v...

I might know someone dude, i'll pm you the details.

I'm so glad you've got the proper seats, although the ones you've got now are half decent lookalikes, they were always a compromise, alot of the shows scenes were in the car so the seats were very prominent, so getting the proper ones is a good move imo. Sorry to hear about your job, but...

Sounds like the dog bone mount to me mate, mine was doing it last week despite having powerflex mounts, the nut had come loose. It's worth getting powerflex dogbone mounts and just upgrading, just make sure you use thread lock on the nut. :o

If you get a clunking noise check the dog bone mount, then check the engine and gearbox mounts, also worth giving the actual gearbox mount bracket a good once over, my old one was badly cracked causing it to knock and bang. Although tbh fair i've replaced all the mounts for uprated ones, as...

I haven't felt any more vibration after fitting uprated engine mounts, I honestly don't know what people are on about. :S Oh and they're just a straight swap pretty much.

You'd have been better off using actual paint. :S

You're right, I was thinking of another car.

I remember this from Performance French Car Mag a couple of years ago, iirc it's turbo charged or supercharged or something mental. Despite it's god awful styling it's meant to be over 300bhp according to the magazine write up.

Well I won't be racing you next month then.

Is PDG some kind of gangster rap group, like P*ssy Dollar Guns?

You'll be through to metal before you know it I reckon.

The fact that I have dedicated cleaning stuff makes me feel like a closet homosexual.

Hose pipe and a brillo pad you queer!!!
