    Project OMG (mk1 16v)

    Sorry for the lack of pictures, im not usually into the whole "blogging/doing write ups". but as im bored, i thought id give it a go! So late august year, my love afair with my low **** finally came to an end, too much beaching on speedhumps had taken its toll on the gearbox/diff and it locked...

    New ball joint failed, or are my top mounts fubarred?

    Jap Cr*p? Enough tuck?

    Clio Euro Project.....

    i wasnt trying to compare, im just saying, everyones first reaction when cambelt snap is 'NEW ENGINE' when it may have just taken out a couple of valves, and fixable for a fraction of the new engine cost. hence why i said, try to look into the damage! And it turns out i was right, so ill take...

    Williams air filter choises

    I have both a standard airbox with an ITG pannel filter, and an open cast K&N filter, personally i think the k&N did look marginly better and sound much better, but will it be bringing the power down by any noticable amount?? i can make a cold air feed for it also if need be! any input...

    Lowness Obsession

    why do people do performance mods when there is a speed limit?? why do people put buckets in when the standard seats are prefectly good?? why do people fit foglights to base models when its so rarely foggy? its down to personal prefrence!! is nobody else place to judge my taste. its my...

    harness bar in a halfcage

    mounting a bar between the two legs that go down toward the rear arches. the cage is held on by 4bolts on each legs going to the arch, and two bolts each leg that mounts to the bottom of the Bpillar, the bar would be welded in, however my worry would be, in the even of the an accident, all...

    zee clio!

    not sure whats going on with the front bumper, but please re-think the use of mesh or any other chavy mods, i did it to my clio when i first got it, and ended up ripping it all off and putting it back to standard, i facepalm whenever i see the pics! looks like a tidy car though, also, i have...

    what spacers you using?

    id say use hubcentrics as soon as the wheel is no longer resting on the hub!! the bolts arn't designed to take the weight of the car! personally id poo myself everyime i drove if i had over 10mm without hubcentrics! also, hubcentrics is just the name thats given to spacers that fit the bore...

    Rear 172 Bumper. Thoughts?????

    +1 this! The only reason you would want one in the correct colour is so it will go straight on! this one will need respraying so the colour makes no difference! might as well find a cheaper one regaurdless of colour if you dont mind going down the respray route!

    1.2 to a 172 rep

    half leather interior, stance! - its so easy to spot bad reps, they sit too high, and the front wheels are lost in the wide arches!
  20. Struggler

    lowered 182 not happy any ideas welcome

    pehaps thats just how 30mm springs go on the rear, they never do exactly what they say on the box,
  21. Struggler

    lowered 182 not happy any ideas welcome

    ahh looks better now, must have just been the angle, have you checked that the shocks havnt sieze?? or have anything stopping them going down?? and that the spring is seated properly??
  22. Struggler

    lowered 182 not happy any ideas welcome

    something looks very wrong with that! it looks like its been raised in both of them :S have you taken any of the interior out??

    Passenger window smashed and stereo pinched

    i would have a serious moad at NCP, if theyre advertising it as 24/7 manned, then you paid for a service you didnt recieve, and because of them neglecting to provide said service, you've incurred losses!! and tbh, they should cover it! or if you have a moan, they may put some money toward...

    Show us your painted interior!

    hmm, i may go for grey, or just primer and see what i think, i went to the european rally in madeira this year and just loved the look of the painted white interiors, hence why i wanted white. but my just go for the same colour as the car now. and to answer your second point, when going under...

    Mk1 Ph3 1.2 speakers

    6x9s are no louder, it just depends what brand of speaker you go for, some make more noise than others. in most cases, the speakers that are "really loud" lack sound quality. perhaps components upfront, and coaxials in the rear door cards?? 6x9s lack a lot of sound quality most of the...

    Mk1 Ph3 1.2 speakers

    1. personally i wouldnt go for 6x9, they will pull the soundstage toward the back of the car, and they look horrendously chavy! 2. i really wouldnt use 6x9 in the parcel shelf alongside a sub in the boot. The sub will interfere with the cones on the 6x9 as theyre in the same airspace, and ruin...
