    Best £12 i've ever spent ;)

    oops, sorry for adding possible competition!! good luck!! Daz i was thinking this, might be worth finding some other pictures of mk3s on 15's before considering most wheels from the mk1/2 range!! a guy on here had pink wheels on a black mk3 nonsport, pretty sure they were 15's and they looked...

    Up to date pics of my track car!

    they dont weigh any more than my oz f1's, i may consider changing to suppalaggera's (sp) at a later date when the tyres die on these!! this is the same set up as all of the itb, plus the ph1s had the fuel cut out switch. ill probs dig it out and refit it in the final build though. theyre not...

    Hours labour for change of springs?

    decent garage with the proper tools will pop this out in well under an hour!! rear take about 10 minutes to do, 30 minutes all in to do the front, using a lift/impact guns/hydraulic spring compressors makes it a complete doddle!! might as well try it yourself if you have basic knowledge!!

    1.2 to 1.6?

    what could really go wrong on a 1.6 so bad that you'd need to get rid?! tbh id just sit it out until you can afford what you want, whats the point in half measures!! lol, changing cars always ends up costing money ime, there will always be a few things that need doing and before you know it...

    Up to date pics of my track car!

    very mixed opinion on the wheels!! i only put them on because they already had the paradas already on them, but theyve since grown on me!! No perpex windows just yet!! i want to keep it road legal and road bearable!! plus ive got to work to a budget! hence the standard power!! im only running...

    Harness Bar vs. Half-Cage, and Airbags

    Sam, is that comment about the standard rear brace aimed at me?! the mounting places are 3mm steel and theres a plate on both sides of the shell. do you not think this is sufficient?? how do you figure the "more slowly" technically they slow you down faster as theyre deploying in the opersite...

    Harness Bar vs. Half-Cage, and Airbags

    I have a bolt in harness bar!! im glad Sam said exactly what i was thinking. An inertia reel seatbelt is designed to hold you in place, not to "give you some room to move around" crashes happen in split seconds, nobody will sit there thinking "Hmm im experiencing a car crash, and the roof is...

    CAMBER SHIMS HELP

    changing ball joints

    im saying if youre handy you could do it in an hour!! if youre a moron with a torque wrench, then id set aside a day for it!! either way as long as you have the sense to tighten bolts up FT (or a torque wrench) then it can be done with little or no mechanical experience!!

    clio choices ?

    exactly this, mk1 and mk2 engines will all fit into the mk2 bay but the track for the sorts is considerably wider due to larger wishbones/arb etc. also the rear beam will need to be changed also as the 1*2s have a much stiffer antiroll bar welded through the middle than the non-sports (though...

    cambelt while the engines out help?

    im quite glad you said this tbh, every thread i read makes out that the belt can only be done by specialists or youll end up with 3bhp!! i always assumed that with all the correct tools and taking your time, then you will get it right!! everyones fear attitude was putting me off doing mine...

    Noise reduction: Swap out De-Cat OR get a center silencer?

    Putting a Cat back in will give you less rasp and will mean MOT's are less of a worry, might be costly to purchase a cat but you will have some value in the selling of the decat. centre silencer will quiet it down more as thats their main function. personally i plan to go with 2 silencers and...
