front end breaks away?was that to answer my question?
i mean ive heard that new tyres should be put on the rear and the original rears put on the front?? why?
been reading through the thread, and looking at my tyres.com, seems those eagle f1's gsd3s are a good buy so i think ill go for some...
what is the idea about new tyres on the back...
not 100% sure about it...
'revels106' thats stupid.
i hope you get pulled, my mate got crashed into by an uninsured driver and wrote his car off and had to claim on his own insurance.
uninsired drivers need to be really punished, and a driving ban does f*** all because they obviously don't care about driving legally so a...
Just wondered if anyone was bein a** raped as much as me by the old insurance companies...
i payed £1800 for a 9month bonus accelerator for my first years no claims - going down to about £1050 whenh i reknew next month...
just make sure you have all of the original wires form the car plugged into the aftermarket wires, and then into the head unit.
my head unit does not work until the ignition is turned on and then the head unit turned on first, it may sound as if im making you out to be stupid but it took me an...
good choice of H/U speakers mate.
about the tweeters, not sure how to replace them etc as ive never done it...
if you buy a 2 channel amp, unlike the 1 channel in your package ^, then you can wire your rear speakers to that to make them work, if not im not too sure of how they will be wirted...
my 1.2 16v goes up to 140 written, but its got an extra line that should stand for 150, because it goes up in 20's.
mines an 04
love the dials by the way, where did you get them from??
my light comes on at 62/63 miles normally, then screen goes blank at about 60, but ive had a good 45-50miles out of it twice, that was on motorway runs, normally fill up with 100 to go, not good for the fuel filters to let all the crap be pulled through the engine!
my car normally gets about...
If theres nowhere good to earth it, you could always run that to the negative terminal on the battery.
thats what ive done on mine as it wouldnt earth properly.
looks good, if u didnt use it already, use black colour magic, im guessing you've gpot the pearlescent paint, makes it look brand new!
not too sure about the grill because its a black car, think a sport would look better - like most people have already said before me!
ive got a black 3 door clio, ive got my calipers and drums painted red, on standard dynamique alloys, im thinking about painting my side runners, to make my car look different to others around here, my first clio had silver runners, looked nice, but if i did them red would they suit the car?
ive...
all ive got to say are clios are awesome!
if you own and drive one day in and dayout then you would understand...
however different people have different tastes, but surely the last thing to do is go onto a forum mainly about clios, and then **** one off to all of the users, just seems like...
i love that car!
sounds awesome, loads of grunt! and looks nice lowered!
done some good work to it, be proud and show it off!...then give me my keys back...!!!
haha, im sure thats all true for someone who has owned another better car for along time, but as a first car and knowing no better they are the dogs b******s!!!
and for a 1.2 they not bad!
try driving the 1.2 8v clio!
or a 1.0 12v corsa!
i reset it everytime i fill up, once a week-ish!
ive had it to 99.9mpg whilst coasting!
it did 57.something on a cruise to skeggy from derby!
lowest ive had it is 12.something just after i had reset it and had to hammer it out if the petrol station in rush hour!!!
id class that as cheap, had mine for 3 months, its same car in black but 04 plate, had done 14000 when i picked it up, it was advertised for £6300, i never payed that due to circumstances with the first car they sold me, ended up paying them £5800 altogether, thought i was getting a bloody good...
ive got a 1.2 16v clio, 04 plate, done 16500 miles,
im only averaging about 41mpg, i dont rag the crap out of it really, only once or twice a week or something, but even then it never drops below 40, does anyone else notice this?
a lot of my driving is nipping about, not too many long...
spot on advice from everyone, and i love the advert for a clio posted by ian182!
(and i do know the car pictured is a corsa by the way!)
they are awesome, get some stiffer suspension and you WILL not be dissapointed!!
i had an 06 plate vw golf, 2 litre diesel N/A with a whole...75bhp! and similar torque! which made my 1.2 feel fast!
good car though, solid, hit speed bumps at 40 and handled quite well!
thing is, the wheels spun better with T/C on rather than when i turned it off!!!
look for rms power not peak, the rms is the power the speakers give out constantly, most manufacturers clearly display '160watts' (example) but do nto clearly show the rms, make sure the rms is above the rms value of the head unit otherwise you are selling the head unit short.
really, you can...
in effect this should make it even clearer, as the sound going to you front speakers from the head unit will be seperated by the crossover fitted, and then the sound sent to tweeters/door speakers, however, as you must have noticed as you are changing it, the sound system is a budget one at...
