    My First Car - Clio 1.2 16v Dynamique :)

    Stunning. Nice and clean, simple effective mods. Wheels look ace, tyres are clean.... (shame about the ditch finders on the front ;) ). Just needs a little drop as 99% of cars on the road do, but I guess insurance might be your problem there. Good effort though !!

    Seen a 172, but is it worth the money?

    That's not nice. Can't go HPI'ing every car you're considering buying, but that's seriously not on form the dealer is it !! A small car park ding or scuff you might not notice is one thing .. a clear as day deathtrap cut/shut stolen/recovered vehicle is quite another. Hope you find one soon.

    Securing Number Plates :S

    If someone wants the plates, whether they're held on wiuth blu-tac or araldite, they'll have them away. Velcro .. 7cm circles IIRC .. strong stuff !! Put the soft sides on the bodywork so you can clean the car without trashing cloths etc.

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Nice lens Greglols... I need a FF camera :( Don't think that would be too handy as a walkabout on my 7D thanks to its 1.6x :dapprove: FML.

    Tips for Used Car buying - Price Haggling?

    Usually whenever people ask me what the lowest I'll take is, whether it's a car or whatever, I refer them back to the asking price. Stupid people ask stupid questions. Keep a figure in your mind of the most you want to spend. Don't say anything equally stupid like "it's costing me £100 in...

    Flashing brake lights like a vxr

    Yes, thanks, I've figured that out. The reason they do, is that you are braking far harder than the other 99.99% times you press the middle pedal. It alerts drivers to a different situation before they get there and ram their own car up the backside of the vehicle that has (probably) stopped...

    sunstrip plain black 7inches down legal?

    Fair enough chaps. I thought it was 'if the wiper touches it' therefore assuming outside..... I don't have this problem as I don't drive a Touring Car. ;)

    sunstrip plain black 7inches down legal?

    If they're inside, they're legal tho, right ? I appreciate that 7" inside will require some cutting around the interior mirror.... Invest in some decent sunnies ;)

    fuel consumption rs 200 ?

    If you want an RS and you're concerned by fuel .. buy a Ph1. My Ph1 saw 40mpg easily, 45-50 when trying. My Ph2's is between 30 & 35 (indicated) which isn't amazing as it's optimistic against my own mpg calculations. Also given my 300+BHP Scooby turbo wagon does ~25mpg without much effort...

    anybody ever fitted a motorbike exaust to the 172 ?

    It's just a metal tube with different dimensions to an OEM part. A custom exhaust place / welder should be able to make anything you like. A decent exhaust fabricator will be able to adjust the design to the noise that you want.

    First tuning steps, induction kit

    SEARCH. Viper will cause you losses - most people say this anyway. V6 airbox = NOISE + a straight swap out for your Ph2 box. Can get an aftermarket filter to go in it later if you want to.

    Problems starting since relocating battery to the boot.

    What's the CCA rating of your engine ? I bet it's not being able to suck enough amps through that fuse. Halfords for instance shows this: AH Value: 52 Bench Charge: 6.0 Amps Dimensions (LxDxH): 207x175x153mm Guarantee: 5 Years Startup Power: 520 Amps Type: Silver Weight (kg): 12.73
