    PistonHeads Top 10 The Results - we did good :)

    good to see so many RS cars on the list. Loved my 182 Trophy but tbh trick dampers or no trick dampers my 220 Trophy would have decimated it over any typical british B road, I suppose that's just progress though!

    172 Phase 1 cd player

    not sure if all ph1 were the same but my early W reg one had a tape player with a 6 disc changer under the drivers seat. Any TunerList cd player will work, just make sure its not an UpdateList (it will say on the bottom right hand corner of the face of the unit)

    Clio 57 plate 1.4 turbo?

    megane engine would cost much the same and be less hassle for 250-300hp if you just want a turbo sell it and buy a 1.2 turbo one probably wont cost you much if anything to do the swap depending on the age/condition of your car. TRW Performance do a turbo kit for that engine if your set on it a...

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    it appears the ones who know the least, get the most views from what I can see. And some of them are making some serious coin while doing it, unreal! I thought this was an interesting watch, and I can only imagine how profitable it can be when your driving other peoples cars!

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    while he may not owe an explanation to anyone other than the guy who's car it was, surely if his business is something he enjoys/appreciates it would be worth working with the customer to find a resolution that works for him and customer, of course he's not going to turn round and say ok your...

    LBTurbo, HBTurbo, Supercharger....Change from NA feel?

    I would leave it standard, the appeal of these cars is they are cheap fun. When you buy one, boost it, fix it you are now at Mégane 250 money or more for somthing that's not as good!

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    theres 2 types of self employed people in my experience, Those who cam run a business and those who are too hopeless to work for a business, so choose to work for themselves. the 2nd lot always ends in fireworks.

    Can I make my ph2 1.2 16v clio more fun?

    I had one when I was 17 about 15yrs ago, fitted a decat, exhaust, modified the airbox, custom filter, hunners of octaine booster and fancy oils and it run about 82hp, not worth chasing power with them obviously. Sort the chassis: Suspension, brakes and tyres and get weight out it and enjoy it...

    1.2 Turbo

    doddle mate, just throw it on! open bonnet, mount it where ever there is space, run a power cable to it, instant +50hp! more people should do it tbh

    Kangoo DCi engines

    Yep all MK2 kangoos if they are a 5 speed are jr5 as far as I'm aware, until the latest ones which are now all 6 speed They revise the engine that often it's worth trying to find one from a similar age and model of van to save any headaches

    OEM Front speaker differences

    sorry its years since ive played with aftermarket stuff, I used to use Pioneer as I had a large Pioneer car audio dealer near me and the stuff was very good but it was years ago and ive never tried any other brands so would be wrong for me to say just buy Pioneer lol

    Insurance for multiple cars

    find an insurance company that mirrors your ncb say you have 10yrs, then at the end of the policy you get proof of no claims for 11yrs, now you have ncb for separate cars/policies that you can use with other companies, that's what I done and now have 3x cars on 3 policies with 15yrs ncb on each.
