    jacked up, bolts out, wheel not coming off...

    just hit the tyre sidewall at the bottom with a sledge hammer, with any luck it'll knock the top of the wheel free

    how do i remove sideskirts?

    The rivets go through the sills and holes in the skirts, if you get something like a sharp knife and put it between the sill and skirt, then cut the rivets in two. The skirts then just lift out of the brackets that hold them on. Edit: Unless the rivets are made of metal, in which case I...

    Subframe mount lower suspension arm hole wear - check your Clio!

    Not seen that before... suppose it's just another of those little faults that renault let us have for free. It's issues like this though that make me appreciate my car having been rebuilt with a new subframe 6 months ago.

    New tyres need scrubbing ?

    they'll need a lot longer than 30 miles to wear in. Give it a few hundred, and then you should start to see a difference

    what suspension / tyres?

    I'd say coilovers for suspension, other people with them will recommend which ones to use, and for tyres, I think yokohama parada spec 2s come in 205/45/16 Looking at getting some for my pro race 1.2s

    clio 197 2008

    quite possibly, but by the time you've faffed around driving to and fro, making phone calls, and sorting all the other little bits, like the VIC etc... it soon becomes not worth it. I learnt this the hard way :dapprove:

    no way of guessing really, immeasurable amount of damage could have been caused. Thought mine was going to be 2 grand to fix, turned out more than double that

    17''

    If your spending all that money on new wheels, at least get some decent ones. Go for lightweight wheels, they help reduce unsprung weight, which helps performance no end. Something like oz superleggeras or team dynamic pro race 1.2s

    Yet Another Cam Belt Question/Possible Birthday Present?

    well, the cars done 38K, aux belt should have been changed at 36K The service lights up on the dash, and the car came with no service history. As much as I'd like to think the last owner took care of the car, i dont think that putting a body kit on it, listening to really chavvy music (as in...

    clio 172 at 18 ?

    Hi, appreciate you like the forum, so I'll try and explain why everyone might get a bit arsey about this in a nice way. If you aren't going to be driving the car the majority of the time you've got nothing to worry about, because you are exactly what it says on your policy, a named driver. If...

    new pics of my 172

    nice looking car, but 16" wheels will make it look so much better. Looks a bit tractorish if I'm honest, and it'll help the handling

    Valver Side Exit Video (Flames Inside)

    Nice set up, I'm guessing loud is an understatement? Maybe its just the speakers on my laptop, but the video sounds a lot like gun fire.
