on a 1.2 when should the fan cut in?? Mine has gone up the the secoond large marker (about 2 thirds of the way around) before the fan cuts in , should it go this far of is the fan buggered?

de-cat, chip, ditch the pipercross and get a sealed unit like a viper

ive obtained a nice preasure washer, shifts them straight off. I already get dodgy looks fro the neighbours the amount of time a spend working on my car, wihtout draping wet towels on it

Here is a pic of the grommet from the engine, quite hard to find if you dont know where to look. Position of grommet is shown on diagram, reach up under there, and its on the bulkhead going inot the car, if you crouch down and put your head by the top of the engine you can just see it, didnt...

reach rihgt up under the passenger dash, behind the fuse bx, there is a grommet, about 50mm, i will post a pic of it from the engine bay if you want dude, just cut a hole in the plastic grommet, and feed the cable throiugh

nope, but woudl love to have one too. Maybe carbonnut

Yeaj, you can have the ones off my 1.2 for £30 ;) Have a look on k-tec, or give demon tweeks a ring, we get 5% discount from k-tec, 10% from demon tweeks

I dont attract too many ones like that, but i think that fattest flies come and find my car and splat themselves up it

I presume this is the same for the 1.2 mk1? Where do you get them from, you you have to ask for them from k-tec, i cant see them listed on the website

No idea mate, best thing to do is find a local pbodyshop that has done work for folks beforee, anf just pop in and get a quote, i find that if you explain all the sh*t yourew gonna want doing in the future, they are more likley to give you a lower quote, due tyo repeat work

no you will need to respray most of the rear wquarter, as you need to blend the new paint inot the old paint, very hard to do

last time i did mine, i couldnt pull it off cus the seat was in the way, so i just pulled it all off cept that bit, and fed the wires through there

Just to put it in perspective, for a mate to have 4 arches form his mini sprayed up, the boke quoted £80. Im having my bonnet sprayed, badboyed and debadged - thats costing £200, £40 to have a big dent at the bottem of my door pulled out and resprayed, £10 to respray the bottem half of my boot...

Im not sure mine is even kicking in atall, where on the temp guage should it start kicking in, mine has been up the the 2nd big mark 2/3 way round wihtout the fan kicking in

I think he means teh pannels along the bottem under the doors. You need to remove any seatbelt bolts that go through, apart from that its just clips, pull upwards and outwards(towards inside of car), and pull hard!

If a remember rightly someone went in and asked abouy buying some, would cost £15 i think it was

I raced a GSI in my lil 1.2 8v, he won, but not by much, manily on accleleration, and the fact that i know the road really well

Im getting mine for the piece of mind, i was having a serious look around a while back, they were the cheapest i found, but my mate is having one done by a local coampny so will get a quote off them

Yeah i basically told him what to do for writing the quide, on something as big as skirts, they will look sh*t unless you ahve a compressor and srapy gun, spray cans are only good for real small areas

Just outa interest what is the rev limirter set at on the mk1 1.2? Iver found that peak power is around 4000 rpm, and theta if i take iot up to 6, 6.5k, then change up it returns to arounf 4k in the next gear

Hair dryer works fine, thats what you use to remove car graphics, lot easier than soapy water, only prob is not burniong your fingers when you start it off

...or do i just buy the springs, i can gett eh springs from k-tec for £55 inc club discount, is the extra £200 really worth it?

No, i can trust him, and it means that ill actually pay it back, unlike if i take it outa my savings account, it will never go back in

Ive got 1 years NCB, have a 1.2 atm, but got a quote on a new 172 for a laugh, elephant were the only ones that woudl give me an online quote. £2500 3rd party, £3880, fully comp. Speak to Craig, i think hes about 19, andhas a valver

The 172 isnt actually 172 bhp, there have been sh*t loads of discussions on this, its more like 156 if i remember correctly

well obvously not, but seeing as theyy dont have cats, then you cant really fit a de-cat pipe ;)

yup, maybe cliosport should arrange a petition. Maybe its something that all the owners clubs shoudl get together on, if there was like a 10,000 strong petition they woudl have to do something, although they prolly wont

Yeah i know, but thios sort of thing really pisses me off - i appologise for my choice language

oh ffs, this is getting f**king stupid :@ Next they wont allow you a loud exhaust cus its a breach of the peace - its a f**king joke, think about all the other sh*t they could be cracking donw on, f**king drugs and burglery for one thing. The police forcxe in this f**king country is a...

Car is going inot the bodyshop next Monday, and i really wanted to lower my suspension thisn month, but its gonna cost me slightly more than i was expecting. I was gonna buy just springs, but have since realised that if im lowering it 60mm, i need shocks too, i can get the kit for about £240...
