    Cam Belt

    you wont notice a cambelt going until it goes, and it WILL snap eventually, (mine lasted 4k more than when it was meant to be done) then ur pistons will keep going and ur valves would stop, your pistons would hit your valves and bent them/inbed them into the head/inbed them into the...

    New Clutch, How Much Am I Looking At?

    it will bite when the pedals further and further down the more worn it gets, until pushing the clutch all the way to the floor and its still on down enuf, in other words it'll crunch with your foot hard on the clutch and stall if its not in neutral and you stop or it will start slipping, and...

    Changing the address on your car insurance.

    they find any reason to knock it up after your roped in, when getting insured with auto trader, the car was in my mums name (didnt bother changin it when i bought it off her) but it was cheaper to insure if the car was in my name, so i put the car in my own name and got insured, get a letter a...

    Dear God Why?

    ive got one like this near my house, only without the exhausts, or the mesh, so just big holes, and not lowered, and looks like its been fitted and painted by a 10 yearold, also has silver trim around and across the back lights, and its a ph1 its still painful to look at

    Removal of battery - affects?

    Ive just bought a clio 1.2 campus 55reg and want to give it a new sound system

    if i was in your shoes, i would invest in a new headunit (possilby used, can got alot better value for money) the standard speakers in the car are by blaupunt, so theyre not awful speakers to begin with, a nice headunit could make them sound nice, (pioneer and clarion are renound for sound...

    Engine swap - clio to micra?

    the 2008 hayabusa engine is a 1340cc with a claimed 194bhp, stick a turbo on that, people have those engines up to 500bhp (supposedly) the power to weight of that ina micra would be epic!

    Engine swap - clio to micra?

    if your going down these streets, sack the renault engine off, and but a hyabusa engine in the back now THAT would be cool, as for the renault engine, 2500 from ktec is the straight swop, they props have all the custom mounts made up, your talkin about designing and engineering your own custom...

    REALLY stupid question about getting the wheels off!

    if theyre too tight, hammer a slightly smaller socket over the top, and treat it like a normal bolt, my mate lost the key and this is how we got them off, its scary how well it works

    Crashed Clio - what to look for?

    you probs would find this without me hinting, but see if the doors drop when you open them, can be a sign of twisting, and would affect the resale value as its a dead give away its been in a smash. split paint is an easy way to tell if metals moved, as long as the metals painted obv, was the...

    engine mounts

    if it moves too much, it'll snap your exhaust, NOT fun, when it happens and you crawl home at 10 miles an hours with a snapped manifold! ive heard less engine roll means more power trasfered to the wheels (instead of ur engine tilting back, it pushes the car farward instead) but dont take me for...

    loophole or not?

    technically yes, but insurance company's have been know to ask neightbours who they see drive the car, along with other sneaky ways to find out who drives the car, theyre not stupid, and they do anything to get out of paying, the extra is designed to be for convenience and emergencies, dont...
