    clio 1.2 8v conversion, wich is the best engine to go for??

    ^what he said. Insurance will be invalid in the event of something happening. You might not care about losing your car, but being personally sued if for instance you're involved in a fatal RTA... paying that off for the rest of your life and doing time is less appealing to me personally than...

    Is it wrong to want another 1*2??

    This !!! Matched inlets, filter, exhaust+decat.. buckets, bit of stripping.. see how you feel. Cams and bodies later if you feel it needs more grunt when it's due a belt.

    Does anyone know what alloys these are?

    OZ SuperTurismo is my feeling... or a rip off version.

    Where is the oil cap?

    The oooo--- is the max-min equivalent on the dipstick, not "way too low". When I changed my oil, I found it to be spot on as it got topped up !

    Carbon Turbo Lotus

    Oh for goodness sake... that's just knocked the new Enzo off the top of my Christmas list. T'woman's not going to be happy.......

    Where is the oil cap?

    Oil OK should come on every time you put the ignition on (or is it after starting the car?)... it means, as it states, oil is OK. :S

    Going abroad to work for 5 months. Sell or keep the 172?

    Only a lack of MOT stops your insurance being valid in the event of an accident as far as I'm aware. I don't know how it works if the MOT runs out, and it's stolen from a locked garage !? Nothing to do with an MOT there if you see what I mean... Best bet is the OP rings his insurance and...

    help me price my clio 172 cup performance exhaust

    Something is only worth what someone will pay for it. I wouldn't personally be looking to spend more than £100 on that providing it doesn't blow. It's rusty as hell and looks like the chance of it making through the winter is slim IMO. No branding or age/milage on it either... Someone else...

    Going abroad to work for 5 months. Sell or keep the 172?

    If you're going to SORN it, fine, however is it worth still insuring ? £400 in insurance for 5 months (ouch) is better than losing a £3k car if it goes up in smoke or gets stolen... maybe you could drop the policy to TPF&T only ? Might save you a few quid a month and you'd be just as covered...

    Little drive out in the Indy R1

    Highly recommend some wileys or equivalent 'safety specs' instead of cheapo sunnies, assuming you value your eyesight ;)

    What do you guys want?

    We want reps that are old enough to take us to the pub. Between you and Dan', your combined ages still isn't 18 FFS.

    Engine transplant

    I've got an Impreza engine kicking about if you fancy a mega project. Why not just s/c the F4R ?

    Little drive out in the Indy R1

    FLOL @ the guts in the face. Enjoying it ? That plate needs a giant turbo to match TBH.

    Tar Spots and a White Mark

    You'd be much better posting some pics otherwise it's down to the CS psychics to help you out ! Tar on the roof ? Remove it with tar remover... I'd bet you a whole shiny pound coin it's not tar. Brilliant.

    Born to be stacked, but I love how it looks right now

    ^ It's grey. For info, the wheels are red.... :approve: Could have sources a Cup spoiler before painting FFS.

    The smell is something to behold too. Right up there with fresh cut grass and sizzling bacon.

    Screen Wipers Stopped working

    Yeah defo. Sniff about around the glovebox as IIRC a bunch of relays were there on my ph1. You'll hear it click as you turn them on... same as the immobiliser etc.

    Fuse or relay... maybe the motor has gone phut ?! Is it a single one on these...? Good luck !

    Worth getting winter tyres...

    I'd probably buy a box of roofing tacks, and hammer them through from the inside... Studded tyres just to be safe.

    Cool, cheers. Mine are waiting in the garage on the freshly powdercoated wheels ready for some cold stuff :approve:

    Worth getting winter tyres...

    Anyone know if it's worth 'scrubbing in' a set of winter rubber !? Just thinking how awful some new tyres are for the first few miles... Is it worth putting them on before it gets too cold or surprises us and snows one night, and doing 100 miles on them, to get the moulding surface off...

    Plenty of threads on this in the right section (nudge nudge wink wink). :rasp:

    Best Claying method..

    Dawn probably means tardis... AG tar remover in my experience is OK if you have a few dots, but a PiTA using it on much larger areas. Also, probably only use it on the lowers and rear but you'll see where it is anyway once the dirt has gone. If you've got tar on your roof, you've got other...

    Do de cats really enhance performance ?

    This in my experience. (Ph1 172)
