Okay, the uploader is as you may have noticed back up.. It may be up and down for the next day or so, outwith my control.

Well whats the problem with using the aircon demister button ? I mean if it works why change it ? If you have had the aircon on and then you switch to heat next time you get in they have a tendancy to mist right up because the aircon removes moisture, but just hit the demist button...

Np I will be starting work on the new features on monday..

mate... I could have lisa riley and all her fat friends in the car and I would still woop ur ass :D

Just a quick message to say the uploader will be down for 2 days (sat/sun) this is due to network and electrical upgrades. Sorry for that but it was long overdue.

err it was autoleads stuff from halfords.. i bought two rolls of it at 22.99 each. Think I will only need one roll though, so I might take it back for a refund.. notice the 4 carpeted lips on the edge of the left hand piece for the right hand piece to sit on.. craftmanship that..

Hi mate, Welcome to Cliosport. _KDFs the name.. poking newbies is my game.. http://websmileys.de/wut18.gif

Hi mate, Welcome to Cliosport.. please step forward for your free poke.. http://websmileys.de/wut18.gif Thank you drive through..

yes.. you got a problem with that ?? na its my GFs hand..;)

Finally got round to building my false floor for the 172... results ? not bad I think, plus I can still take the spare wheel out. Its not finshed though as I still need to build a bit to hold the cd changer, dvd navi, control box, inverter, xbox, amp and sub. here are the pics so far (excuse...

OOOOOHH dont drill holes in the boot.. asking for trouble if you do that. Build a false floor.. thats what I have just done for my 172, I will post pics up and you can see what its like, I had to take into account the need for access to the spare wheel though.

Hmm, so shouldnt every 172/Cup fail its MOT ? that cant be right, manufacturers wouldnt put them on if they were illegal.

LATE !!! they guys probably bought a new car and moved onto a different club now ! ;)

if its got a 20A fuse in it, keep it at 20A. I was assuming it would just be running 60W amp inside the stereo but obviously not, put a 20A inline fuse near the battery to be safe.

oh and a true sine wave inverter costs over 100 quid at least.

Well mains electricy is a true sine wave, a car is DC ergo no sine wave, so it needs to be introduced. basically if you plugged a clock into a modified sine wave inverter it might runs 3 times faster than normal, plugged into a true sine wave inverter it would run normally, there are other...

Quote: Originally posted by ClioJohn on 25 July 2003 to pass an mot you need rubber inserts, so i assume if they are for show use only they wont have the rubber inserts If thats a fact how come 172s dont fail on an MOT ?

my original one was fitted under the passenger seat, but there is a cage that it attached to, which I doubt you will have. Now I have a new HU and CD changer its in the boot.. but my xbox will probably be going under the passenger seat if I can work out how to get it there.

does anyone actually use the auto lights ? I mean how dumb a sh*t do you have to be to not know when to switch your lights on.. Personnaly I will keep manual control over them.

ear plugs by the sound of it.. heh..

doesnt need to be a blade fuse, you can put an inline fuse in. (quickblow preferably) which brings me onto another subject.. there is nothing like a quick blow.. er... :oops:

if you cant be bothered working it out thats 5 amp btw... heh.. So you will need a 6amp or slightly above fuse placed close to the battery (there is a reason for placing it close to the battery which I wont go into)

ah okay, if its a 60w alpine then you may have to route it differently, It will probably draw too much current at high volume and blow a fuse in the car. RE: what fuse you will need Amps = Watts/Volts

an intersting idea, I want to change mine to green as it would suit my HU better.. Must look into it..

I did all the maths on the power consumption and it worked out that a ps2 (and an xbox for that matter) will need at least a 100w inverter, for every 10w you draw about 1 amp from a car battery. BUT ! Dont get a 100w invertor, get at least a 150w one.. preferably a 300w from maplins which...

IIRC they are about 55 quid for cliosport members..
