ARGH im so F'ing annoyed, i hate painting, with a passion, paintwork on the front bumper was all done, laquered and ready but i failed on the last hurdle, taking off the masking, for some reason, the primer didnt stick properly to the bumper, does this mean all the rest is going to...

checked the oil as soon as you got it home then ;)

also, the further you have to press the pedal down to disengage the engine, the more worn the clutch is

i think it looks alright when its done properly but painted on, just doesnt look very nice

tbh, i think you deserved you first clio to be written off, lending it to sum1 who clearly cant drive for s**t, and letting them drive without insurance is just plain irresponsible i wont even get my other half insured on my clio, let alone let her drive it! where do you get your money from...

the towerbrace?? the strutbrace isnt in the way anymore, oe bonnet arms?? and its always used standard bonnet arms, just used raisers that have long since gone

i said, the bonnet raisers helped the bonnet clear the strut brace, for some reason i didnt think to adjust the strut brace lower, basically they were a stupid solution to a simple problem

i didnt smooth anything, i only primed the bump strip, the textured black horrible bit.

long bar, put it in gear and get sum1 to put theyre foot on the brake if you end up turning the engine over lol, valves are easy to check, just put the valve to the sealed position, and pour a thin liquid (i used white spirit) into the inlet or exhaust (witchever valve your testing) if it...

i noticed you started taking it apart, have you taken a look at the valves yet? my cambelt snapped doing 40, only bent 4 valves, pistons were all fine, so id defs say have a look first, may be cheap to fix,

sorry to go on, but has the garage accually taken the egine apart?? im guessing the quote is for the cambelt?? (im bored and nosey yes) if so, its worth having a look before writing the engine off, i fixed my clio when the cambelt snapped for 350

you would have to tell the DVLA, and get a new logbook, and declair it on the insurance, what part of your engines dead?? most comon engine to put in a mk1 is a valver, but this is ALOT of work, engine, loom, gearbox, ecu, everything and tbh, unless the shell is in mint condition, or you have...

thankyou all, alot more promising results than last time

ye i want rid of my 17s now well my cars going through a de-chavment overhault atm, so no pictures atm, id go for the ktr springs, depends, how low you want if to go, if you want low low, then get the KTR springs,

mine are on apex 60mm but the KTR springs come out lower, or closer to 60mm ^^basically all the mods ive done

18.99 for a haynes manual, think thats got all the wiring diagrams in it

just get a set of ph2 lights mate, think some colourcoding and clear repeaters are in order, also, its the arch gap that makes a car look low alot of the time, so 16's on 35mm drop, will look lower than 15 on a 35mm drop, but will accually be higher, it depends what you want from lowering, car...

second time lucky lol

also need to get a new splitter, mine was ruined so it came off

hahah oit, no thats coming off, got a 172 bumper on its way, try and get a nice subtle exhaust to go with that, as for the bonnet raisers, for some idiotic reason, i didnt adjust the strut brace properly, so it sat up higher than the bonnet, and it didnt close properly, bonnet raisers were a...
