Yep, if you only ever buy one set of polybushes, buy a Powerflex dogbone mount.

With no back seats my OMP strut brace was very good at stopping the shopping sliding into the dog under braking, useless for anything else though.

If you want, but it's sat behind the front door incase I need to tw*t someone round the head.

Mine squeaked constantly, but for the past couple of years it's not made any sound at all, that's because it's sat in the porch. Basically you'll never stop it squeaking, by bolting it down you're putting pressure on the bushes, which means the only time they won't squeak is when the car's parked.

It just dawned on me that getting my track wheels, tools, beer cooler, food cooler and camping gear to fit in a Clio might not actually be possible.

That's the toxic fume warning light, god knows why an IK would trigger it though, unless the increase in airflow has made something freak out, never heard of it happening before though.

The what now? My car doesn't have those, the front pads just slot in and caliper just bolt back on top.

Slightly higher pressures are fine as long as you keep an eye on them, obviously on warmer days they'll go up, likewise if you do your pressures on a warm day they'll go down on cold days. It really depends on the side walls tbh, if they're soft and folding over in corners then upping the...

I've just got Rainsport 3's all round on mine, they've got very soft side walls and always look flat at 32psi on the front and 30psi on the back, so i've put 40psi all round and they instantly felt better and looked inflated. What Kumhos have you got, KU31 or KH31? I had KH31's on the back for...

Different tyres front to back is fine, side to side isn't.

My rear calipers sometimes stick when pulling away, as far as I know all Clio's do it, at least every one i've been in has, also I have Brembo HC discs on the front and they have surfce corrosion on them almost every morning, all discs do it.

They look good in silver. Gun metal/anthracite. (although they could just be dirty) Also suits white.

So it would appear there was nothing wrong with Lambda 1 or anything else for that matter, I had a look at the pedal box and when I touched the accelerator connector it clicked, I deleted the fault codes with my RSTuner and they've never come back and the car has ran perfectly for the past week...

I had one leaking a few years ago, removed the bolt, put some gasket sealant under the bolt's head, screwed it back in until it was just nipped, it never leaked again.

You've done well for yourself there mate she's stunning, I like the Star Trek themed reception too, brilliant.

Awesome mate congratulations! It looks amazing all polished up. How's the rust issues, weren't you talking about a re shell, or did I make that up?

I agree about the squirming under braking, but at 70-100 mine are fine, they're alot better than the RS2's I had, first hot day they ended up coating the sides of the car in rubber, the RS3's seem a lot better plus they grip from cold quite well on my 172, but then i've had tyres people with...

Not all mate, your post was politely worded.

Oh ok then, seeing as two people have spoke to me like a c*nt, i'll change them back to standard imediately.

I didn't really word that post too well, you press the bushes and sleeves in together, they will go in 90% of the way by hand, but then they need a press to go the 10% that matters.

Yeah they need pressing in, metal sleeves first, then the bushes themselves, we used these to press mine in. If I was you i'd upgrade to polybushes, i've got the harder black series in mine but the ride's still the same, I just wanted bushes I never needed to replace again.

If your beam's already out then it would be a good time to upgrade, the new ones will need pressing in but the old ones will come out fine, but the metal shells they sit in will need knocking out with a hammer and screwdriver, or you can cut through them and mangle them out. I just polybushed...

What an amazing sleeper, even with the lairy paint, body kit and vented bonnet, there's no way you'd be expecting that thing to be quick, I bet that's upset a few people away from the lights.

Better than last months where all they did was tow a truck with another truck.

Good little battle this, R5, Valver, 172, 200T.

Nice one dude. I had limp mode when I took the dog out, but not on the way home or going to work, I can't trust it though as the drive to work is all duel carrigeways, doing 40 on a 60 will cause many people to be angry with me.

On the ecp site there's 3, one of them says 'rear' so that must be after cat, the other 2 i'm not sure about, i'll just buy the cheaper Bosch one and hope that's the one.

Working all weekend mate, there's 2 Bosch sensors at ecp to chose from, I dont know which one to get.

Better episode this month.

Don't fancy my chances driving up the M1 in limp mode at 2k rpm in 5th, 30mph on the motorway will probably get me killed. I have a mate with a fully kitted out garage at my disposal, if I can't fix it on the driveway he'll definitely fix it.
