    Clio Trophy No.162/500 - Restoration

    ^ what he said. Trophy comes with cloth seats and cards except for the leather/alcantara Recaros. As far as the ECU bracket goes, I was going to get a couple of flat slips of steel/aluminium, and bend it to the shape of the bracket - kind of 'sandwich' it in if you get me. Hopefully that'll...

    Clio Trophy No.162/500 - Restoration

    Meh, it's close enough for me for the time being - cheers for that though - at least I know what's coming!

    Clio Trophy No.162/500 - Restoration

    More of a mini-project than a full on project, but there's a long story behind it and a load of little jobs to do so aim to make this a bit of a help for people wanting to know about a few little bits and bobs that I come across, and more than anything to document the car's progress. We came...

    Need a new Laptop battery - OEM or "fake" replacement?

    OEM. Every time. I don't know about laptops specifically but my 'high quality' fake Canon Ixus battery is s**t, lasts a fraction of the time of the OEM one. Plus your laptop will moan.

    My latest purchase...

    It's a Trophy. No162, which I'm 'restoring' as it could use a little TLC (not much, just a little) and then the OH is using it to get to work. :) Will get some pics up after the first bit of TLC today!

    It's a picture off an iPhone, at 9 at night. What do you expect, a masterpiece? Sheesh...

    PC IS DOWN! MAYDAY MAYDAY WE'RE GOING DOWN!

    Look for that in add/remove programs. Failing that, close all IE windows ang open Internet settings from control panel. Last tab on the right (advanced, iirc) and at the bottom there's a button to tell interfuck explorer to reset to default settings. X

    Clio GT and mods.

    My diesel Megane GT ran rings around the petrol variant. Bigtime.

    Clio GT and mods.

    As I'm sure someone's already said, by the time you declare your modifications you'll be paying over 197 money.

    Where's the Trophy at?

    how old are you and what you driving?

    23, and these: The blue thing, and in the background you can make out the company hearse*. Also looking to get a Trophy this weekend for the OH to roll in. Not literally, hopefully! *Not mine by choice, it's all they have spare until mine's delivered.

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    Don't even think you need the caveat, as they do really mean jaff all. I'd use it purely to see that I was getting the most out of my money for mods, and that's it. The rest of it is down to how loudly my passenger screams and what my arse-dyno says, because for me, my arse-dyno is the most...

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    None taken, as you're clearly doing your fair share of it! The fact of the matter is, you'll never make any new car feel like your 190bhp Mk1. They don't make cars that flimsy any more, so you're instantly detatched from that driving experience which is going to be very unique. The only way...

    How much can you expect to pay to sort tracking?

    Free to check usually, then £20-30 to adjust.

    Bugger!

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    I'd hazard that that's a very pessimistic dyno or the car desparately needed a good service. My 182 with a Yozzasport exhaust ran more than that!

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    I guess it's horses for courses but with the money spent on 'upgrade' items on a hot hatch you could have something which really will set the world on fire. It's an opinion standpoint, but mine is that a hot hatch doesn't need to be made near undriveable on the road, as it's still going to get...

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    The 162 will be wheel, as that figure sounds about right for that. And PS/BHP aren't a million miles out - 182PS is ~180BHP.

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    From experience, Renault got the Cup suspension spot on. If you can, get it. Unless you're tracking it I think you're hard pushed to get a better balance between going fast and having bones at the end of the journey! Brakes again are good on the road, but if you track it I found that a...

    Moving to a 182 from a 190 bhp Mk 1?

    I thought it was 160bhp ATW for the 182... However, whether you should or not depends on your priorities. I tool around in my S because there's sod all that's faster, but I couldn't use it every day. I've got another car to do that in. I know it's never going to be as fast, but it has a...

    Server 2003 Default Keyboard Language...

    Need to set all the settings, then on the last tab apply it to the default profile. Delete everyones profiles and next time they log on they'll get engrish.

    Exporting emails from Outlook Web Access

    This is such an ever so bizarre thread - guy with slight knowledge tries to take on the near impossible (plus completely missing the point of Exchange) and fails.

    Exporting emails from Outlook Web Access

    If it's an Exchange server (IE you're using Outlook Web Access) then you likely won't be enabled to access the box through POP3 as required to use Exchange mailboxes in Outlook Express.

    Ha! Sorry, I'm looking at that list and seeing D50 as a basic one, but you won't see one of those for £250!

    dci 80 or 1.4 16v

    If you can insure the 172 then go for that, although of the two as much as you don't want to hear it the diesely-weasely is the better. I had one, it cost me nothing to run. Tax was £35, insurance was £200, tyres never wore out and it ran on thin air.
