How do you remove the glass please anyone??
All the other people post this and just say "oh yeah done it" without actually saying.
Anyone know how to do it????
Really? It actually improved performance? Was thinking of getting an exhaust system but didnt want to be that tw@t driving around thinking hes in a super car because of his loud exhaust.
Steering rack is the problem dude at least for me anyway. Mate had exactly the same symptoms and had his rack replaced and his car his fine going to be having mine done in a couple of weeks!
without going out on weekends I'd say my mileage a week is 90 miles (one 40 mile round trip to another site for work once a week) I will make this car run on £20 a week lol. Fuel is going to be a real shocker but the price to pay I guess.
It should warm up before I hit the dual carriage way then its blast down to work! and I have to pick my mate up from the train station, usually end up waiting 10 minutes while the cars on.
Yeah man looking for one with everything, dont mind if I dont get recaros as I can always put them in later if I really wanted to but sat nav and cruise are definately on the cards! Really want to put an ipad dash in the centre console ;)
I originally wanted an MK2 182 but the insurance was touching £5000 so thats was a no and I already have a mk2 non sport with all the sport accessories bar the body kit. So having to of the same would not be boring but not as exciting.
Thanks fellas! I have coilovers now so I am used to a hard ride.
And, no bicycle for me has I live up hill and f*k coming back up the hill especially in this lovely summer weather we are having (...........rain)
So because the insurance system in the UK is so clever that a 1.2 clio costs me like £3000 to insure but a Clio 200 is £1000 I am getting a 200 in a couple of months time (when my NCB hits 2 years).
Anyway thoughts on the 200's?
Love @G8RSH 200 looks stunning.
Whats fuel like?
Do about 5...
Every time I go over 60mph and mostly around 76mph I get a really loud wind whistling noise in the cabin. At first I thought it was the hole in the mirrors but have found that it is the sunroof. I have sealed my sunroof with windscreen sealer (had a leaking problem) but not sure how to fix...
Well you can get powerflex bushes but you need to modify the wishbones etc...
AlexW done it to his look through his DCi thread (halfway down the page) http://www.cliosport.net/threads/flame-red-dci-172-rep.703091/
I have this problem
Got the car on the ramp and a friend turned the steering wheel and we could see some play in the wishbone bushes (car is on coilovers so its just worn) although the noise is was isolated to the end of the steering column to where it meets the rack or whatever you call it. We...
Questions about the seats:
A) how do you get creases out? specifically one of my headrests
B) my passenger side seat doesn't latch onto the runners (the cable for it has lost tension and wont latch properly)
C) theres some sensor which goes into the runners on the driver side. I think its the...
UPDATE!!
Never planned on upgrading the interior to the sport one but some cheeky haggling and got some 172 half leathers for next to nothing the condition is superb! few kinks but who can complain!
at night
Looks lovely!
Depends which alloys your talking about. If its the ones I got with it then its Plasti dip if its the 172 alloys pictured above then they were sprayed by the spray guy ahaha if that helps.
The colour is BMW black from a 2008 3 series BMW.
Are you planning on spraying them yourself?
So basically I have the following equipment:
Hertz HDP5 5 channel amplifier
Audison Bit Ten D Signal Processor
12" generic subwoofer (will get audison or hertz)
I am looking at Audison/hertz components and was wondering to go either 3 way partially passive or 2 way active?
The reason because...
I dipped them myself not to difficult. Costs about £50 from car dip UK buy 4 cans and use one on each wheel don't use one at a time other wise the pressure dies down and you get different results. The plasti dip is self leveling paint so dont worry about over spray.
The wheels have been abused...
Contacted someone on here but never got a response. Might go scrappy to get them.
I want to get sport interior for mine but have no idea what to with my old interior. Even if I let the whole thing go for £40 don't think anyone would buy it 😧
Your car might be flame red dude don't think I have seen a 55 plate cherry red clio. It cost me £400 to get the wheels, trim and whole drivers side and bumper resprayed. However there are marks where the sprayer 'forgot' to spray. Although its just some scratches.
Sorry for late reply dude! Havent checked CS in a while :)
A lot has changed since CS and yeah will deffo be heading up this year.
Your gonna love your car even more after the colour coding. My door handles are still being done (primer stage) thats pretty much the last thing.
Slight update got rid of the front plate. Looks much better, going to get a small one on the side similar to jap or like an evo style numberplate. Getting the front smoothed but for now it will remain without a numberplate.
Getting started on the BIG 3 UPGRADE first of all got my 0 AWG wire for my ground and the superb 0 AWG terminals!
For those who don't know the Big 3 upgrade is a wiring upgrade in the car audio world which basically means that the alternator ground and positive, and the battery ground are...
