Cool vid, although I hate Bettles, loathsome things unless fitted with a decent engine from a Porsche, but even then I still don't really like them.

I didn't rate the ITG panel filter at all, when I cleaned my old one I put a Pipercross (K-Tec) filter in it as a stop gap it felt loads better, even when the ITG was all clean and re-oiled I still thought the Pipercross one was better. Irrelevant to me now though as i've been running a V6box...

Really enjoyed that, tank slapper sh*t me up a bit I thought the car was getting binned but it was well recovered. Video moved along well, bits where you're setting up the car, having lunch and standing around waiting were the only slow bits, but I think they're needed as i'd imagine there is...

Good man, sounds like you're modding your 1.2 the right way. :approve: The colour really makes it stand out from the rest aswell.

I hope you mean engine dressing, because if you try and chase performance in a 1.2 you'll spend alot of money and not really get anywhere. :dapprove:

There's no error about it mate your car looks good, so many people try and overdo 1.2s because they try and overcompensate for the small engine, less is more imo, yours looks spot on. :approve:

Not sure about cream and brown but grey would look alright, i'd just get them polished up tbh. Maybe some clear side repeaters and a 1*2 grill?

Personally I think they look great the way they are, but it's your car so fair enough. What colour are you painting the wheels?

I really like the way it looks in this one, alloys look good. Bit of advice aswell, if you want to post photos directly onto the site (embed) then open them in photobucket, right click copy directly on the photo, then paste them directly into your thread.

Monster! :evil: Good tune aswell, got that one on my ipod.

Well yes, if you had no exhaust at all, a length of scaffolding would add 10bhp. ;)

WTF is that, a half b*stardised 182 exhaust adds 10bhp, and to think I wasted money on a well made Piper. Looks like Stevie Wonder made it ffs. :S

I might have to show this thread to the owner of the studio I work for, I think alot of the shoots I do could benefit from the odd photo being done like that.

They don't have any serious issues, iirc no Clio in history has ever gone wrong, had bits break or fall of, or ever broken down.

Yep that's the one, he slags it off to begin with, then says it's amazing to drive.

Ohh stylish. lol

Flol, at least the engine was well worn in, or is it worn out?

I doubt it, they're media cars supplied by Renault that get raped by every journalist in the land, worth about £50quid after everyone's had a go with it.

I believe Clarkson has also driven something called a 182cup aswell. ;)

Yep it was cracked and barely hanging on by a lose bolt. It looks like this. The other mounts are as you say, upper engine on the left by the cam cover, and the dogbone right under the car next to the gear linkage.

Well looks like you're going to have to get under the car and check for movement in the tie rods, track rod ends, ball joints and wishbones. After that it's the dampers and springs. If there's a clunk when accelerating might be worth checking the gearbox mounts, you'll need to take the battery...

You must have different square ones where you live, the ones in Coventry are tiny and never touch the inside of my tyres, the potholes on the other hand could rip a wheel off, they're a far more effective speed restriction. lol

Even at 25mph those square bumps are a nightmare if your wheel hits one. Bloody things are pointless anyway seeing as they fit perfectly in between most cars wheels, which means they don't slow anyone down, unless your car's lowered in which case they just rip off your exhaust.

Have you checked you haven't lost some wheel weights? Best to eliminate the simple things first.

Love it, want one but...............skint. :dapprove: What's a flapper mod when it's at home?

At work when i'm booking people in for shoots I keep seeing 'Dave Off' in the diary on that weekend, I can't bloody wait. :D

One of the best videos i've seen posted on here in a long time, beats the sh*t out of a load of ricers standing around in a car park polishing their cars & admiring each others static lows.

I'm going to slot some cardboard in between the grill and the radiator to avoid that.

I really don't get how so many people say it's easy to get the grill off, I tried the other day and nearly lost the will to live. I found it unbelievably hard to get off, i'm just going to mask the front up and spray mine on the car.

I've got HCs and Brembo pads and they've never let me down.
