    All air feeds do is feed (or if you prefer, direct) the flow of air to the filter. Simple as that! Open induction kits will and do suffer from heat soak but with both methods we've mentioned this is minimal if not nothing. Either way it WILL NOT do any more harm to the engine than keeping it as...

    how often do you "heel and toe"?

    I just match the revs when driving normally. Only heal and toe when thrashing it. Seems much easier to do when giving it some imo. I also find the trainers i'm wearing at the time makes a big difference to how easy/hard it is to do.

    clio 172 insurance probs....

    Surley you can call tomorrow, most insurance places are open Sundays. Also if you move then you shouldn't loose that much with only been with them 1 month would you?

    I don't think heat soak is a problem with this method my self. You still have the other air feed attached and the one unplugged will be drawing enough cold air to the area which is away from most of the heat anyway.

    Doesn't effect MPG/performance at all. Lift your bonnet and on the right next to the battery you will see the air box with the feed coming out of the right just infront of the battery. Squeeze the top and bottom (iirc) of said pipe as its kind of clipped in and pull it out. Then just put it to...

    No it wont, it's just an air feed lol. The air will still have to pass through the filter... It just gives you more induction noise and sounds like it has a lot more grunt. Literally takes 1 min to do and try...

    Just pull the air feed away from the side of the air box. Job done and free;).

    What to do? Swap 197 for 182?

    It might not be a reason you would use. But you might have more money than other on here to not have to care about such things! At my age with insurance been relatively cheap anyway then the difference between the two would not be enough compared to the amount of miles/extra fuel I'd have to...

    What to do? Swap 197 for 182?

    It's all relative though. For many the fuel consumption of 1*2 is as bad as they are willing to go/can comfortably afford to spend.

    What to do? Swap 197 for 182?

    197 fuel is the one thing that would put me off ever getting one as my next car. Shame really because I do like them:(.

    Centre Speakers of sub

    Getting the speakers angles right can make a big difference over just having them set to 90' to the TV if thats how you have yours?

    Centre Speakers of sub

    Doubt you need a sub with those KEF's although a good one wouldn't hurt. I'd be looking at a decent center speaker and if you put your mind to it a pair of decent but small/discrete surrounds mounted on to the walls.

    Tbh the clio is the first FBW car I owned and I don't really find any difference apart from not been as stiff over time. The urgency will very from one clio to another be it Ph1, Ph2 and 182. We all know how power out puts can vary with these cars and thats what sets any one apart from the...

    Test drove ph2 172 and I am very impressed. So what is the ph1 like?

    I don't see how the cable throttle will make it feel more urgent, surely its the standard/output of the engine that makes one feel more urgent than the other. Looks are a personal thing so that's rubbish and the running costs are the same, give or take... Oh and I very much doubt that you will...

    Windows Vista forgetting wireless network.

    Laptops can still use other WLAN managers! Have a look on the laptop manufactures website and check what drivers they do for that model. Go to computer management and check the WLAN services are set to automatic. Might be set to manual or something although I doubt it, still worth a check.
