Yeah, i always feel much better about my car when ive spend a good weekend doing somthing to it... I need a good long weekend tweaking mine I think :)
Looking forward to those soundbits and pics :D
Yeah, the decat is next, then a custom cat-back system. Is there anything else I can squeeze some power from? Its already got a K&N on it, and ive got a PX filter sat in my room from my old one, which i havent got round to putting on yet.. spanking new as well, hardly did anything on the other...
Cheers Tom, im glad it actually does somthing as well, instead of just being there.
Ice Wise, ive got a Sony Mp3 head unit, powering 2 sPLX 250W 6x9s and 2 5.25" Sony Xplods, im thinking of getting an amp and sub in a box next, after some more performance upgrades :)
nah, it looks like a boiled egg at the moment, no spoiler, i know what u mean about the RSI, maxim one tho, looks nice. Thatll be next.. and exhuast, drop the back another 10/15mm..
That interior is nice :) Pedals, gearknob, steering wheel and seats need changing in mine.
My mate has the...
Yeah, ive been looking on there... Skint till April tho, so i wont bother looking till then.. No point looking and seeing somthing nice, and not being able to afford it !
I can get fairly decent deals on stuff from my mate, he owns Image Cars in Clitheroe, he does some decent stuff... but well...
Nicely done matey :) Sounds like you had fun!
Incedentally, i got a confused look when i started reading this, as a lot of people call me morf :P its my other online name :)
I thought WTF?! then read on and realised it was someone else !
well its standard inside at the moment, im thinking of putting some half buckets in, possibly a willy interior? but im not sure, I need use of my back seats so it wont be full buckets.
Next on the list is a custom cat back system, as its still got the cat and middle box in (middle box scrapes...
Its on Apex springs i think, not sure the last owner did it, but ive got the recipts, tyre profile is 50mm..
It can go a few more mm on the back yet :)
Best thing is, with a full car (4 peeps) doesnt scrape :)
cheers fubar, managed it in the end tho :P
Please excuse the dirt on the skirts, its a 10 mile trip from the carwash to my house, through country roads, u cant get home without getting somthing dirty, i went 15/20mph all the way home as well!!! b*****d farmers! :P
I washed my car the other day, and cos it was sooo clean and shiney, i decided to take some pics, i took about 20, but the best two are below.
Very Max power-esq :P

just in case anyone didnt know... chav stands for Council housed and violent..
sorry if ive insulted your intelligence :) ive only just found out myself :)
Pointless drives are ace, i havent been on one since i first passed, mainly cos ive been skint, and owed people money.
Its the best stress relief, there are some awsome roads near my house, i live near the Yorkshire/Lancashire border (half way between Clitheroe and Settle) and some of the...
Still a fan of Yokohama A539s .. them or Toyo Proxies TR-S1.. (i think)
I know a 1.4RT isnt fast, but these two tyres have been superb in both wet and dry, and they arent expensive either
Apologies for putting this on here, but i cant post on the cars for sale bit as im not a club member yet, if someone wants to change it then id be happy :)
Ebay link -...
Im keeping it subtle, the only changes im making to the outside is a new set of wheels and a new exhuast system..
other than that im happy with the way it looks. Inside needs some work, possibly williams interior but i havent decided, i still gotta pay my dad off for it :)
ahh cheers smokey :)
yeah im chuffed to bits with that, the clutch is really stiff, but ive been told its a fault with the pedal on most mk1 clios? my last one snapped the clutch cable 3 times.
yeah im pretty sure its not an imprezza turbo :P its says renault energy, so im pretty sure :)

Its a little dirty, as it was snowing...
My old 1.4S clio decided to pack in completely.. We couldnt get it started, or figure out what was wrong with it, so instead of spending any more money on it, I managed to find a minter of an RT on ebay.. It was advertised locally so I gave the woman a ring and asked if i could come look at it...
sit and wait for a couple of weeks, if you dont hear anything then great, u could have got away with it.
If you hear somthing, take the fine, its your own fault for speeding. You cant cheat the system. Learn from your mistakes
well i dont think its the coolant temp senser, because it only conks out when i come to a stop, while im moving it runs fine
just idle when it starts playing up :(
My car has started cutting out, then when i try to restart it, it misses really badly, the jet is trying to send too much petty into the inlet.
Its odd cos somtimes i just clears out and runs for a bit longer then goes again. I replaced the SPI unit with a reconditioned one, but it hasnt made...
