    Double clutching in the clio

    Similar practise I use to when I'm riding my bike, although it's slightly different because I use my hand for throttle, and never mind locking the rear wheels up but a twin will launch you over the bars if you get a change wrong...

    Canon Ip4200 ink cartridge problem.

    Cheap ink always bites you in the ass. Print quality gets thrown out the window and your print head will need replacing regularly as the cheaper ink clogs them. Definate false economy. Bin them and fork out for the genuines. Need any evidence, I used to look after various printers around...

    What engine oil?

    5w40, Standard Elf stuff was recommended to me by YS.

    Double clutching in the clio

    Actually... My mate's old 1.7 Fiesta made some cracking flames! But yes, unless you've really really fettled with the drivetrain then you won't hit 80 in reverse in any car... Unless it's a 2-stroke and you bump start it backwards...

    Double clutching in the clio

    Fast and the Furious is so terribly incorrect when you analyse the 'driving' in it. Most of it involves the nitrous, including: The only way you can use nitrous 'too soon', is if it causes you to break traction. They seem to show you can only use a bottle on one run before filling, which if...

    ph1 172 with HID's 6000k, will it fail an MOT..............

    Xenons are the stuff chavs use (usually with rediculous amounts of blue tint on the headlamp making it useless in the dark) to make their cars look like they've got HID headlamps. HID headlamps are what's fitted to the FF Renaultsports and high end Bimmers/Mercs/Audis etc.

    Double clutching in the clio

    It's not needed on the road, and much less in your motor with the way you drive dude... It'll just slow you down.

    172 CRASHED INTO NOT HAPPY

    I wasn't suggesting this - it was in response to what someone had quoted and said!

    172 CRASHED INTO NOT HAPPY

    That's fucked, sorry mate. As for the "Get off your high horse" etc comments about the Corsa racing, yeah I regularly have 'raced' with people but rarely on the road and never when I'm near anyone that can be hurt.

    Latest... erm... "mod"

    I like - how much and where from (and if Renault, you don't happen to have part numbers do you)? I've got the dog guard for the 182, although I could do with a cushion stuck to the boot so that he's comfortable when he's held against the boot by the g-force!!

    ATI Radeon X300SE

    I daren't ask what you started with if you 'upgraded' to an X300. My laptop has better than that!!

    182......anygood?

    Did someone up there say buy the Mini if you're after image... Excuse me???! The classy girls I've met recently have all hated the new Minis for being something they're not (a Mini) and they all love my Clio... But yeah, buy the Mini - anyone with any taste at all will hate you.

    Anybody else wish they'd left their car std

    I said that before I bought my last car, and again before this car. The 182 now has a De-Cat, ITG Maxogen, will be getting a Yozzasport exhaust this month and new brakes in the weeks to follow that... If it's in your blood, it's in your blood. You'll not lose it until a wife forces it out...

    Anyone fancy a wax swap

    What do you reckon to the Titanium Rich? Not had the urge to splurge on it yet - depending on how you found it I may or may not bother?

    going to be a nervous 2 weeks or so...

    99% certain - will have been an off-road sort of bike (if you're into bikes it's a Suzuki DR - IIRC an old school 350) and he will have had a road helmet on, a complete inability to ride at any speed and his helmet will have been off or flipped up with his badly-trimmed beard on display...

    Crashed 172 Cup Marlow/A404 Roundabout

    It's banter, based on the age old argument about whether the cup is the poverty spec or the hardcore car... I've got better things to do than randomly 'take the piss' - it's supposed to be taken with a pinch of salt, hence my jibe at the blue headlights (note, not better!) on the ff... Think...

    Spent 4 hours cleaning my car so I thought I'd show off my pride and joy

    That counts as clean nowadays?

    Clio V6 wanted for PPC magazine photoshoot!

    What about a 182? Hugely practical and stupid quick still... And I've got a minter in Black Gold... *wishes*!

    Crashed 172 Cup Marlow/A404 Roundabout

    Or maybe if he'd had the suede bits in the middle he might not have moved slightly mid-corner, resulting in a loss of control. However you look at it though, he wouldn't have crashed in a full fat.

    Steering creaking at low speeds

    Is a ph2 so probably electric, but if it's hydraulic it'll be at the back of the engine bay behind the battery, next to coolant on a 2litre dunno if it changes for the hamster wheels...

    Crashed 172 Cup Marlow/A404 Roundabout

    I think it was probably down to the normal headlights though... I mean, if the road lit up blue he would have been able to make the corner...

    Crashed 172 Cup Marlow/A404 Roundabout

    Cos he didn't have ABS.

    Anyone fancy a wax swap

    Go out and buy some! It's not like they're particularly expensive, and it's good to keep a few around. I've got some 476, 915, P21S, Swissvax Onyx, Swissvax Best of Show, Zymol Carbon... List goes on! All have their uses...

    going to be a nervous 2 weeks or so...

    Even then he's incompetent... Prior to the incident described above he caught me (kinda fairly) doing 37 in a 30 (within 25yds of the 30 limit, I know you're supposed to slow down before the limit but it is from a National and it's not like I was still doing 60 when I came into the 30), gave...

    going to be a nervous 2 weeks or so...

    I know who you're talking about, and I'll arrange for someone to 'have words'. He's been approached several times by his superiors for hiding out of sight with his speed gun and I believe he may be on final warning. Bit of background on the above before I get shot at by the law brigade, he...

    Got bored......

    Fogs were only for the pics except he's driving on a public road and therefore driving illegally with the fog lights on. Prize wanker. What did you expect posting a picture of your wankerlights on the internet? I don't think I've EVER used mine... Actually, tell a lie - I used them once...

    Clio on 5th Gear

    I'd take the Porsche. Ok, so if you'd done a bit better you could have had a 911, but that's like telling every Clio owner that if they'd done a bit better they could have had a Vee. I could have had a Vee, I just didn't want one and tbh, I'd rather a Boxter S and a nice BM or something than go...

    the 197 letter in evo..

    I don't like the 197. If anyone cares to point out that I don't actually deserve an opinion then fair enough, but until that day my opinion is what I stand by and that's that the engine didn't need a 6th gear with closer ratios, if anything it needed an overdrive cog. It's too big and too...
