    Winter Tyres

    I've had mine on since November. They're better in the wet and general crappy autumnal conditions.. But you already know that ;) Just been out for a drive .. Main roads are clear, look like they might have been plowed or just gritted properly. Side roads are compacted snow/ice now they've been...

    Ph1 FlameRed.

    Well your top lot of photos has the plate in .. and I assume you don't drive around like that ? You're basically wasting your time ;) Parking ticket could have been a typo or anything. Wouldn't even worry !

    help!!!

    £500 are cheap coilovers. Cheap coilovers are crap coilovers... Look for some second hand ones..

    Looks smart ! Has it got a cold ?

    K4J shed, update.

    LOL Adam - a box is a resonator, no matter where it is. The baffles, or horsehair, or any form of wadding simply is there to eat some noise. It still does the same job. Pulse tuning - look it up.

    New camera + snow!

    Clio 182 making odd noises over 50 mph

    Sounds like wheel bearings and it's coming from the front ? First thing I'd probably check would be ....... oh go on, you have a go ;) If it's not that.. check CV joints, top mounts, gearbox ? Could be a lot of things TBH...

    New camera + snow!

    Snow is easy TBH. This was taken about 5 minutes ago. 10mm, ISO 100, f/13, 30 seconds, 2500K. /done No point shooting RAW + jpg - you'll end up with a load of jpgs you never use/look at/do anything with at all. Just edit and convert those you need to into jpgs for uploading after...

    172 + snow = epic fail

    Narrower tyres are better as pressure = force / area... smaller the area, the greater the pressure on the ground. Hence the Mini's (real ones not the Bini) did so well back in the day in the Monte Carlo rally :approve: However, it's all about the driver really. Previous owner told me the...

    182's on OZ F1's

    Take it out your backside and stop listening to your IP address. You know I'm right !

    Get off your motorbike and walk :S

    182's on OZ F1's

    The styling does not work with Ph2's... (OK it's not as bad as some Ripspeed spinners..) but it looks perfect on the ph1. Same as the ph2 wheels. They don't look right on a ph1. If you're just using them for track - great. If it's your everyday wheel - it's not right :rasp:

    172 + snow = epic fail

    Defo you. No issues in my Ph1 172 on Paradas, decked to the floor. It's very simple. Don't do anything quickly.. steering, acceleration, braking... don't touch the brakes (if you're on 'normal' tyres) as it will do the sq.rt of FA. Look FAR FAR ahead and dont go near anything you think you'll...

    Hello :)

    Welcome. Keep it between the ditches and keep your fingers crossed :dapprove: Always remember to shop around and stay off comparison sites !!!

    Colour choice for phase 1 172

    Gulf theme.. Sepia photos.. Tweed jackets.. It'll be epic.

    Bloody battery won't fit :@

    063. It says it about 6 times on this thread alone :S

    Excessive exhaust fumes at high revs

    10 miles is short... Yes, it's a by-product of petrol and air being exploded ;) Just dont worry about it.

    2001 Clio RS 172

    Yes, from the plate :o

    Headunit or Aux adapter

    Yes. Very very much so. Even across a brand (Alpine) the sound differs from HU to HU. I had one in my car when I bought it, it was rubbish.. chucked my top of the line ~8 year old unit in and it sounded so much better straight away :) All about the amplifiers, innit ;) Renault HU has a 15...

    Excessive exhaust fumes at high revs

    White is water. Standard exhaust ? I'd bet my left arm that the boxes are just full of water. Smoke doesn't condense on the window BTW ;)

    High milage 1*2's

    No. Don't make me show you how to search young lady !

    Clio engine cut out, help!!

    Ph1? Hit the inertia switch by the battery. Other than that, could be anything really :S

    Headunit or Aux adapter

    Aftermarket hu will sound better than stock but I'd buy a decent alpine one if you're after sound quality. Standard Renault hu's are awful. Get an adaptor from mt audio on here to retain your stalks :approve:

    High milage 1*2's

    Oh come on Dawnie :rasp: Always buy on condition, not miles.

    Colour choice for phase 1 172

    Renault's Black Gold, when properly clean and in the sun looks rather bronze. What about a light/sky blue ? Would be a great start point if you went to Le Mans and did the Gulf theme properly :o Might be a bit played out but... meh.. it looks good. Red Bull theme ?! That makes anything...

    Paradas when I had my ph1 in 2008 (or 2009?) were £28 a corner delivered from DemonThieves ! :drunk:
