Agree, 100%. The issue is though, this car hasn’t moved for 12 years. Whilst it works perfectly *touch wood* I want to change and upgrade stuff and making repeated trips is too time consuming.

They did my VXR (and did a great job!) but it’s half a day off work absolute minimum by the time I get all the way over there, have it done, then come back again. Just wish there was someone a lot closer.

So... New wheels, new tyres, new seats, an oil and filter change, gearbox oil change (this gear oil was only 2 days old but as the car had been sat for 10 years I thought it best to do another change to make sure all the old s**t is out) new CV boots and a bit of ‘that’ll do’ on the wheel...

if it’s mainly a road car with the occasional track day, I’d recommend Bilstein B14’s. hands down the best road based Coilovers I’ve ever driven on. A bit too soft for track though but if it’s not an out and out track car, that won’t matter.

That’s superb!!!

As above, I love them. Think they’re a really smart looking little car.

Dawn posted on Facebook, pics of her cleaning out the interior window scrapers. Dawn!!! Show the man! @VIICarCare

Love your work Dawn!! I wanted to comment on FB but ban... I also love that you took the time to clean out the window scrapers. Nobody bothers and it drives me mad!

The width of the wheel is only part of it though. If the offsets are massively different, a 6.5 wide wheel ‘could’ stick out more than a 7.

Impossible to say without looking at it in person. But just from the pics, I’d say you need some spacers. Those wheels look too far in.

Oh ffs look at it!!!!

I’ve got my eye on this. Proper nice gentleman spec; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303746575564

I had exactly the same on my track car and it was a rusty/corroded earth strap on the gearbox/chassi leg.

If it’s intermittent, a cracked/dirty/corroded ABS ring would be my go to. Get your wire brush and a can of brake cleaner out!

Speedo sensor is on the top of the box, under (ish) the coolant bottle. A 2003 car shouldn’t be speedo drive though, should work off the ABS rings.

Clio Williams x 2 Clio 16v x 2 1986 Ford F-150 pickup An absolutely spit mint Impreza Turbo Completely original and standard 1.6 205 Gti with 88k on it. makes me sick.

New wheels and tyres on. 😍😍

Thinners/panel wipe in a pump sprayer. It evaporates quickly. Grab a couple of cans of brake cleaner too for the intricate bits.

@Williamspaul - what suspension do these run?

So... tracks are back open and that can only mean one thing!! Time to book as many as I can for 2021! first of all, I needed to drag it out of storage. So tightened the straps, checked the pressures on the trailer tyres and dragged it back to my house. I then loaded up the van with the...

F7P is a 1.8 16v engine, as found in the Mk1 clio and R19 16v.

If he actually bothered to prep it for sale, (even cleaned it?!) then it could make that I think. but it looks like a £2000 car in its current state.

Yes. Lots of our reviews mention our blunt honesty. Positively of course! 😂

Welcome to Mk1 ownership by the way. Best of the best!

Judging by the MOT history they probably left it in the sea with the car. 😂

Interestingly, I had a guy call up on a 2012 Jag that I’m selling. “alright mate. Is it in immaculate condition?” no “Why do you mean? Is it battered??” no. It’s a lovely example and we’re pleased to have it in stock. Will make someone a lovely car. “But it’s not immaculate?” no. It’s 11...

I thought as much. I need better suspension. It’s great fun as it is but I’ve got new, better, tyres going on it tomorrow and I predict my trackday on the 26th will leave me wanting more from the car after that upgrade. was stabbing in the dark that a RARB kit will cure my issues but I’ll have...

That’s been painted badly and the moisture from the primer is coming back through.

Do any of you Mk1 owners know of a rear anti roll bar??

Guys and gals... I’m looking for an all in one polish that I can use on a DA. Any recommendations?? I want something that is easy on/off, brings shine and fills a few swirls. (Bad cars will have a proper machine polish) The cars are kept indoors so not worried about longevity. Autofinesse...
