LOL. Front stiffy is still under development at K-tec so itll have to wait.

My car was in the garage for a little pampering this week - heres what I learned, just in case its of any help.... CLONK as you pull off, and sometimes when changing into second: Its the gearbox mounting under the battery. Just needs tightening. External temperature sensor - if it goes...

I just cant find any aftermarket wheels that I prefer to the standard ones - well not any that justify spending £700 or more anyway. I did spot one design that I liked (Lenso RS5), but they dont make em in the correct fitment for the car.. :(

So get it done Mav :)

Strange. I spoke to Tesco about my Magnex, they asked me whether it gave any performance gains. I replied no of course, and now Ive got an insurance certificate which says that Ive got a non-standard exhaust. There was no increase in premium or excess.

This is a much bigger issue than many people realise. I used to have a jetski - 700cc, twin cylinder 2-stroke. 95bhp. It ran ok on normal unleaded, but as soon as the fuel got a bit old (couple of weeks) it would begin to give trouble (poor starting, didnt want to idle etc.) I asked about this...

Blimey. You moddin your car Paddy?

How on earth do they re-fuel? 230 cars and no petrol station that I can remember....

All sorts of Clios of all sorts of ages too. Lots of valvers! And a Saxo VTS team - game on!

LOL - Dash - you could lend your car to me for the day in exchange for a free ticket if this doesnt work out? :D

24 hours, wow. Better make it one thats got air-con then...

Well yes Im sure some peoples requirements of a car would back that up. But if the Mk2 had been the same spec as the Cup I wouldnt have bought one - cant live without aircon and ABS - lots of motorway driving for work & I dont need to be too sweaty when I get where Im going. I may have bought...

Nice one Jas, cant wait to see it :D

Itll cause extra tyre wear if it isnt done. Your local Kwick-fit (or any tyre fitter) will do it. I think I paid £28.

You can bet your boots theyll spend the first 12 months turning out as many DCi and 1.2 models as they possibly can - theyre by far the best sellers. I doubt therell be a new Renaultsport Clio for a while. They might even do the Megane thing - keep selling the low volume old models (Coupe &...

Its all downhill from here Sawa - once youve tasted the forbidden fruit called modding!

You dont have to push a button - most people just leave it on all the time - its climate control - you just tell it what temperature you want and let the machine get on with it.

I use this pic a lot - the silver car is standard - the red one is lowered 30mm. Not much difference really. More pics of the red one here too: http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/low/http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/low/ http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/clios.jpg

All car CD players seem to read CDRs no problem. My autochanger has never seen a real CD! I make em with Adaptec CD Creator Deluxe and Nero - they all work. Never tried CDRW though.

I remember following Geoff around the circuit at Bedford when he had those 17"s. There was no discernable difference in performance between his car and mine with 16"s.

It needs a pretty good squirt. Its the oil that stops the dirt not the filter. Get it wet but not soaking. (I phoned PiperX about this when I got my panel filter).

25-30mm will be fine - about the same as the Eibachs - youll hardly notice the drop, though your handling will improve. Also leaves you plenty of room for 17" wheels if you ever want them. Did David say how much the labour would be? Also, if you have lowering springs fitted youll need to get...

Sawa - I got all my springs replaced for £40 (labour). Any Kwik-fit type place will do your pads. The price of the spring itself is also crazy - a set of Eibachs is only about £120 and thats for all 4!. Find a local garage to do the work - youll save a fortune.

Do they have email? Get Craggy to send em a challenge that should do it :D

CUPPY - to answer your question - TimO172 has test driven the LAD demo car. His conclusion was I expected more IIRC.

You hooligan!!!

Welcome Nik, get yourself a sticker and be the south-coast trendsetter!

Yeah, in the era of the 5GTT I was in a compulsory company car scheme - Id have loved a 5GTT. Boss: You can have any car you like Mike. Mike: WooHoo! Boss: Oh, as long as its a Vauxhall. Mike: http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/smiley/sleep.gif

Dont you southerners like red Clios or something?

Roamer had his done a while back - I drove the car afterwards - excellent!! Its worth the money.
