    Tunnel Shot.

    Why would you want to take a photo of a dark place when it's at it darkest !? :rasp: I'd suggest dusk, lights of the car on, prime lens looking diagonally at the car's corner so the lights don't glare too much ... tripod + remote and see what happens. Failing that, give up and find somewhere...

    Question about ride height

    Do some homework :rasp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics Having the rake set up so the back is higher than the front, will help turn in and be positive for weight transfer when braking, but if it's too much, the back end will end up skittish or worst case, becoming the front...

    I.R. Detailer

    ^ Sooper dooper brake pads ? I FLOL'd a lot when I saw detailing swabs for the first time. And again on DW when people take pictures of themselves using them... They're about 75p for 200 in Asda or £5 for 10 on detailing websites (yes yes, I know they're not exactly the same thing...)

    "/ carbs "/

    What would the point be precisely ?! What new car are you getting ? Why would you want to track a 1.2 if you're getting something else ?! You can't just whack it on carbs and drive away. It will need ECU removing, parts machined as there's no such thing available 'off the shelf', carbs...

    *** Essex Charity Rolling Road Day***

    No because it's uninsured and will be SORN'd on Monday night when the OH finds out it's going to be more than her yearly income to insure it.

    speaker advice :)

    The whole point of the sub is to do the bass ! The other speakers shouldn't be doing any low end work. Change your head unit ;) Standard ones are all crap.

    Cambridge meet

    I'm only 45 mins from Cambs .. but this Sunday is no good for me. Next time :cool:

    speaker advice :)

    Change the head unit .. cut the low frequencies and let the sub crack on with that freeing up the speakers in the front to do the mid and high stuff. Make sure the sub is running off a pre-out PROPERLY !! I take it you've done it the pikey way and running the sub off the rear speakers ...

    GiraffeSport 172 Monaco

    Yeah I'm not amazed by the way it sits, but needs must and all that. Old (factory original!) one was rusty and blowing... hence I want a yozza stealth end. Failing that I may flog it and get H&S down the road to make me what I want :approve: Didn't spot a ph1 but thanks all the same haha ! :o

    GiraffeSport 172 Monaco

    Yozza fitted yesterday (thanks Ben!). Sounds great but gets noisy after a few mins when it warms up ! Not sure how long it'll stay TBH. If anyone has a mint stealth Yoz back box and wants to swap, let me know. Also snowed/cleaned/clayed/cleaned/PB's Nattys Paste Wax Blue'd the beast today...

    My First Clio! Campus Sport 1.2L 16V

    Spinning Iceberg 172!

    Ha.. girlz. Ditchfinders and no knowledge of weight transfer when off the gas round a roundabout = fail. At least it wasn't on its roof !

    Bought a 172 today- its now on a RAC flatbed

    What an awful start to ownership ! :( Very unlucky... Take it to Carlton Garage in Exmouth if you can get it there. I'm sure they'll be able to pick it up, or the RAC take you there depending on cover. Hope it's resolved easily/painlessly !

    Quick Snow Foam question

    Of course you can .. the pros will tell you that it will cause swirling as the dirt's not been removed yet but that's up to you. I generally find that it's like showering before a shave .. easier but not necessary.

    A few changes on my dCI

    Noice ! :approve: Not sure about the alcantara dash strips personally, but ho hum. Does the electric sunroof seal any better than the crappy manual pop up ones !? :dead:

    petrol light help

    Sorry ? :dead: Petrol light should come on when you have approx. 1gal of petrol left. Look at the miles to go, and the miles per gallon, and see if you can work out when it'll come on. It's also an R(eserve) not a zero at the bottom of the gauge... I've never managed to put more than 45...

    Freshly cleaned :)

    Looks good .. wheels/tyres need a scrub though ! Probably because all of your photos are looking down on the car from 6ft ;) Get some better perspective man ! FLOLing hard at the lawnmower engine :rasp: Also Sub + 6x9s is a :nono:
