I know we touched on this before but im losing sleep over it now! my timing belt definatley is audible with the window open - but nowhere near supercharger teritory! Should I be worried? It does get higher pitched the more revs you put through it but I guess it would wouldnt it! what kind of...

Id like to see how that turns out - im with I2ich16v- Certainly different!

Brun, Do you have any pics of the mats? Ive been looking at these myself - How "snug a fit are they"? Also whats this binding colour malarky? am I right in presuming its the trim round the end of the mats? Cheers!

Does that apply to a Mk1 Clio? do you have to really lop the top off? No chance of going back to standard I guess!

Just a tad - My number plates would be worth twice the car! I reckon Fred Talbots got dibbs on it though! - Jumper wearing bugger!

Has anyone found a really good deal on 4 of these? Im looking at those myself! The guy who had the clio before me always put good tyres on but just before he sold it he put the worst rubber ive ever used on! Ventus - MmmMmmmm :cry:

yup one good thing about the bugs - they hide those nasty white stonechips!

That really annoys me! - All Saxo drivers bloody use them! and the worst culprits?! the 1.1 "just go free insurance" boys! Expect many a C2 to blind you in the near future!

Well I got one got £110 as Im a bit short on cash and needed a quick fix! I must admit im quite impressed at how much better it (obviously) sounds than the old Renault tape player through the oem speakers. Itll do for now anyway! Defo getting another MP3 Head Unit - Its blummin fab having...

Just having a discussion with a friend over a drink who constantly drives round in his VTS with just his fogs on. Whats the score with the legality of driving with fogs? does it have to actually have to be foggy? Other people seem to call then "driving lights" is there a specific...

Christ I never realised it would be that expensive! Think ill just tune this one slightly and move onto a faster car when I get bored of this one (which may be never!)

I think very very very early Clios had orange ones.

Whats expensive? gwan scare me!

Which is better - Do A transplant with a 5 Turbo Engine or Just upgrade the existing 1.8? If its best to stick with the 1.8 which is better performance per pound - Turbo or supercharger? I await the debate!

Sorry I should have stated for the 1.8 engine - My brothers is a standard valver! Am I right in thinking if he got a Turbo it wouldnt come on song till 4500? If so then how do you get the power earlier on the 1.8 to then in turn get the the Turbo kick quicker? Doh! Should really read through...

Any good? Wouldnt mind 200 Tracks on 1 CD! - saves on the CD Changer... ;)

The speakers in the back of my valver are the originals and they sound absolutly shight! Now I know am always in the fron but when I have passengers they always complain that they get muffled music - Would it not be wise to invest in some decent rear speakers? Fading out the back completley...

Top speed is irrelivant to me really as Im satisfied (at the moment!) with it. Whats the best way to get the power before the "magic 4500"? I know it sounds silly but I miss the RTs little surges at 3000!

I feel so young at 80k!

Ninethedededd! (Whaddya mean I cant count?!?!)

That 16V badge looks like its off a Fiat! - Im sure its a Bravo 16v badge Doesnt look too bad though!

If they say no goto someone wholl not be stupid and turn down money!

Am I right in thinking it makes no noticable difference lower than say 4500 rpm? (can you see where Im going with that one?! heh)

Id be interested too - sounds like a good deal does that!

Oooh cheers 16vneil keep me updated - I think im gonna get a de-cat after the festivities so id like to hear your veiws!

***Update*** I presume new belts are supposed to whine a bit untill they settle in? makes my car sound like a 1.0l at the moment!

Im puzzled about this at the moment! Ive read that theyre good - Ive read that theyre bad! The one thing I dont get is obviously your going to fail an mot with a de-cat as your emissions are illegal. Why can then mot centers legally remove it - place the cat back on for the test - then...
