as long as there's no aircon it's at least an hour less work and the non aircon aux belt is cheaper too if you're having a new one (makes sense) :)

Best car cleaning tool ever IMO

That's horrible :(

where the hell quoted that for a cambelt?

also need the valver bonnet as the plenum wont clear without the bulge

Could Probably arrange to have our Snap-On scanner on the GDI stand somewhere

you're right. Halfords just change the packaging and add a load to the price

I use Comma Motorsport 10w50 in my 325bhp 200sx

The "renault didn't do it" arguement is voided by the fact that Renaultsport make a solid ally dog bone bush. Incorrectly fitted/tightened IMO

my god, I couldn't even find a standard car that needed work for £2500. This is a really nice car with quite a bit well spent. If it were mine I'd want £3500 minimum

which clamp? you can buy exhaust clamps in loads of sizes from any motor factor

sounds like an exhaust, air filter and a group N ECU re-flash. Be surprised if you made as much as 10bhp just from that in all honesty, and that's with only around 160-165 to start with. Where were the power runs done?

I know this. Annoys me when engineering is undervalued and sitting at a PC is paid ludicrous amounts

can you make one cheaper?

renault service parts prices are pretty reasonable TBH

couldn't be furthur from the truth. There's as much work in doing a rat-look resto build as there is in a concourse build. I've spent hours helping get shutlines on rare buses perfect. One in particular had the both chassis legs snapped when the floorpan resto was started. Making sure you have...

get a compression test done. If it's normal, fit some new spark plugs (and check the old ones for obvious damage) check all plugs are on injectors, and HT leads are connected to the coil and spark plugs correctly :)

that's 102RON I believe

hot-shot is just 50% methanol. I used a bottle of it a week before melting 2 pistons on my first 205 gti engine. It was fast as hell for that week

christ that's precision. I can never get a screw to go in that straight into a wall lol

needs lowering

Got to agree with that. Shocking number come in for service with leaking rear dampers Personally I think the clio chassis is excellent but the steering is over assisted just a little. Good handling is subjective anyway though, sometimes people just dont like the way a car works while others...

yeah, a guy I know has had them on his merc for about 4 years, can't remember the make though

Paul C had them on his valver a few years back, it handled awefully and looked like a cartoon. The wheels flat-spotted really quickly because of the low profiles needed to make things fit, and it just generally wasn't that nice to be in. The change to 17s made a massive difference and it was...

spitting on the seal is good ;) you dont really want to use grease as it can rot the rubber prematurely which is bad on the fuel system lol. Getting petrol on the seals before fitting them will make them swell and be harder to get in

IMO, get the one you want for looks then build it up with the bits you want to make it go how you want. Thinks like suspension, wheels and seats are very easy to change so if you can get a better condition shell and engine that lacks a couple of bits you want, it's got to be the common sense way...

wouldn't ever choose an alpie sub personally, everything else they do is great but the subs lack a little something. Vibe subs are loud and punchy but lack any real finesse. Infinity or Rockford Fosgate all day long for me but from your choises i'd say the Vibe Active 12

Daddy f**king cool. TBFH Zafiras rock my world

if they wont pop out easy, a spray of WD40 works wonders

could be the mount position needs adjusting
