Very nice. I thought about getting one a few years back but after driving a couple I just found them a bit heavy and inert to be honest. They're not a huge amount of fun unless you're really pressing them at which point you'd better be on a track because they generate a lot of cornering grip.

Does the new bracket for the coil pack raise the height of the coil pack? Just wondering if it's going to foul on a strut brace if one's fitted.

He's a total penis. So many of these dashcam warriors are just idiots. Saw one the other day where he was slagging off a BMW to his left on a roundabout for not giving way, but the car was already established on the roundabout when cam boy entered and it was only a problem because he booted the...

Yes it is very likely to cause an air leak, if it's not sealed properly it's going to let air flow where it shouldn't.

I've put my name down for one at work.... Hoping for a nice spec bump and more storage in the base model since that's what they'll give me.

A ton of front camber might not be what you want for the road, great for the track though. What behaviour do you want to change? I wanted better turn-in and front end grip on the track, the trade off is the car is a bit hyperactive on the road and likes to follow cambers/ruts etc much more than...

Didn't they just lubricate the secondary latch? That's what Renault told me when I asked about it so I just squirted some wd40 on it and made sure it was free to move. It's only a problem if you don't close the bonnet properly, the secondary latch corrodes and can jam, make sure it's free to...

Only got the butt dyno results I'm afraid ;)

I'm not modding my car any more, I'm not modding my car any more, I'm not modding my car any more....... But damn that looks good.

No it won't. It does make difference but it doesn't suddenly add 20 lb/ft across the range. What it does do is make the car much more driveable. The Clio is far from gutless low down unless there's something wrong but it does do it's best work higher up the rev range, that's just how the engine...

Stuck throttle body or inlet air leak?

If you don't want to phone them you should be able to just drop them an email: https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/contact/email/ or contact-us@adrianflux.co.uk

I took the rear seats out as I didn't see the point in carrying around something I never used and they're quite heavy. Other than that given I'm a lardy b*****d myself I don't see much point unless I'm going to do something which will properly strip weight out of it like GRP panels etc.

Heh, was the best way I could think to describe that feel of instant shove you get from it without going all motoring journalist :)

Keep the 172. 197 is great but it doesn't have that over-engined feel of the older cars, it's just a bit less exciting.

They should be fine, just make sure they move freely and don't have tons of corrosion on them.

You should be able to just download the tool again, there are some links in my previous post in the thread. Hope it works :)

Thats really weird. (I'm just full of helpful comments ;) ) More details on the process here: http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2015/07/how-to-do-a-clean-install-of-windows-10-from-windows-7-and-8/

I ran PS3s for my first track day and they stand up really well, they just don't have the grip of something like the AD08R. It's much more of a road tyre in terms of grip and wear. @mark smith87

Yes, you do the upgrade, then run the upgrade tool again and select the create media option. You can then do a clean install. You must upgrade first and make sure win 10 is activated or your clean install won't be recognised as genuine. When it asks you for the product key during the install...

AD08R is an ideal road/track compromise. Great tyres.

Windows 8 was really solid under the skin, plenty of performance improvements etc, but they shagged the UI big time. It's still not quite there in 10, but it's much, much better. I'd go from 7 to 10 in a heartbeat just for the performance gain in gaming which is reckoned at around 10 to 20...

Rear wheels definitely look locked. What a t**t.

I feel your pain BTW OP, my ADSL here is only about 1Mb and I was used to fibre. I had to wait for the local cabinet to be upgraded before I got an order slot for fibre, took three months. Still, it's OK now. I remember the days when 256kB seemed like light speed, how things change ;) In all...

A lot of suppliers seem to be going that way now, 40 down 2 up is getting common on the cheaper BT-based fibre services. Fine for streaming etc but if you use cloud storage or P2P services it blows. It saves them money and they can still advertise the high headline download speeds.

If it's bulky stuff try Paisley Freight

Nice, you'll not go far wrong with anything from Onkyo as a general rule :)

Given the tiny difference in price I'd go genuine, the saving isn't worth a punt on some random no-name parts IMO. It's hard to tell from the pictures but the ball joints don't appear to have the extra caster either.

Nothing on the Clio, but washed and waxed the Alpina. First time waxing a car ever, I'm getting a bit worried about myself. I'll be buying snow foam and clay bars next.

It just didn't work at all, no reading whatsoever. The sender was OK so it was easier and cheaper just to replace the clocks than to try and get them repaired. Did Bedford yesterday, the CGLock worked really well and the new gear lever was brilliant. I was much, much quicker than last time out...
