Brutal!! I can't help but think eventually some dirt/dust is going to get sucked into those bodies.

I'm glad I know it's from Nuneaton, if I suddendly find myself being made to look silly by a Fiesta Popular plus on one of the many duel carrigeways around here, I won't feel so bad now. lol

Well i'm starting to think that 1st on my replacement box is a bit weak, I guess that's the risk you take when you buy a used box. I might just start pulling away in second when 1st gives me grief, thank god i've got a new clutch, looks like it's about to start living a hard life. lol

Today i've found on occasion 1st goes in no problem, but most of the time I have to press the clutch twice and flat to the floor, and even then it's a pain in the arse to get in, I can also feel the linkage clunk into place through my left foot (not the gear stick). I have a feeling that 1st...

Technical Data sheet says 30'oF-200'oF christ knows what that is in Celcius.

I'll have to hope Danny comes along to shed some light on this, as i'm not fiddleing with anything gear linkage wise.

Could be as I had a new upper mount fitted aswell as a new battery tray as mine was cracked. But Danny at 519 did the work for me and he doesn't really make mistakes, could be that i'm a girl and use to a slack knackered box, also my gearbox bracket was loose as hell, so everything's proper...

I don't have any crunching at all, and I have no play whatsoever in the gear stick, it's just that first is solid as hell!

I've recently had a new gearbox put in my car (well second hand from a breakers) aswell as polybush dogbone mounts, the gear changes feel pretty solid, but i'm a bit worried about 1st gear. It's kind of difficult to get it into 1st, it's like it's made out of granite, there's no crunch that...

Aren't your Pro Race 2s 15" Sam?

I think I keep seeing the same RB 182 (cup)? No Stripes This morning 9:35am going north between Warwick & Cov exit. I was travelling south in a Iceburg 172 away from Cov towards Warwick. Almost every day I drive to or from work on the A46 I see this car.

You could get away with those wheels but not in silver, it doesn't suit the cars colour at all.

Your choices are a crappy 'Sport' badge from Halfords for £5, respray your 'Clio' badge and refit it or, one of these for £38 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renaultsport-Renault-Sport-Badge-Clio-Megane-Twingo-NEW-/400240918920?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d3037c188 Or one of...

Christ almighty!!! I expected the camera bike to crash, he must have sh*t himself coming round the corner to be faced with a wall of fire, and then nearly running over the guy. What injuries did he have?

Holy sh*t you took alot of photos!!! When I started looking through your flikr account I thought, 'why haven't you posted all of these?' because there are some amazing cars in that album, then half an hour later I was still looking through them lol. I definitely think you should post a few...

I got my gearbox from Brignorth Renault, they're an independant breakers and his place was full of 1*2 parts, he had 3 other boxes when I picked mine up, plus he's up for a bit of barteing, he wanted £300 for the box I bought, I got him down to £270. I'm not sure which JC5 you need, but as...

Forgot about that lol, poor old filthy rocket's lived a hard life, but still going strong. (for now)

To give you an idea of cost I paid £270 for a tested box from a breakers, then £475 for labour, a new clutch, upper & lower gearbox mounts + fitting of a polybush dogbone kit I already had. £745 in total.

If you can afford it then yes it would, if you're going to go down that route i'd buy the cheapest working box you can, and get that refured as yours could be ruined and cost more to fix. I do know that Cliospares in Doncaster sell secondhand tested boxes for £350 collected or £400 delivered...

This happened to me last month at 70mph, massive clunk and it was stuck in gear. Basically it exploded, got a replacement JC5 130 from a breakers for £270, a new Valeo clutch is around £100.(worth doing) Was told by agency transmissions that a rebuild would be between £270 for a minor refurb...

8-9K on Clio engine mods? F*ck that!! I'd just buy a faster car instead, one that can lay a decent amount of power down without the gearbox exploding.

Sh*tting Hell!!

There you go dude, gives you an idea of what it'll look like, hope that's ok for you.

Sorry mate forgot you did them. 519 FTW!!! :cool:

JamSport are in Northampton, I had my inlets matched there. Although I think their stated figure of 8-13bhp gain is a little optimistic. http://www.jam-sport.co.uk/home/renault-clio-182/engine-performance/air-filters-inlets/renault-clio-rs-modified-inlet.html

I asked my local MOT place the same question, they said alot of the MOT additions get revised as they are often unworkable. They said as far as they're concerned if you have a steering wheel fitted and it's airbag is faulty it's a fail, if they had a car in with an aftermarket steering wheel...

FFS!!! If that's legit i'd have bought it, my gearbox exploded and I paid £270 for a replacement and it'll cost me the best part of £500 to get it fitted with new mounts and clutch. I could have just driven around in that one, or taken the box out of it to fix mine, and just stored the £500...

I've always thought that if they think a car looks good like that, what does their other half look like? 'Yeah my Mrs/Bloke looks well fit', when they actually look like the Elephant man.

FJ05 *** (I think) Today 6:20pm outside the Nisa corner shop, Bell Green Rd.

That's the problem i'm afraid, I don't think Brentacre like people that are under 25. 18-25 are the most dangerous years for young drivers, insurance commpanies don't like you because you all crash.;)
