Wow. Very impressive indeed! It's pretty damn hard work then? Does it work out, materials + time vs cost as well as detailing then? Can't imagine it does, but it's another string to your bow I guess? As said, if you ever want another mule... y'know, just to test out your skills before you...

God awful colour but it looks like you've done a great job! If you want more practice, let me know ;)

I'd say so yes. In a 1.6T I just wouldn't say there's enough pace to warrant using the paddles. Personally, my z4 hasn't got enough pace to warrant paddles! I don't snatch at the gear change whilst really hammering it, I can just drive very enthusiastically and enjoy putting the car through...

Please tell me you're trolling??? Supercars are bought by people with a lot of money, and more often than not, no idea how to drive. Can you imagine how many times "Tony" that owns a string of local barber shops would hit the limiter in a manual lambo? I just don't see this 1.6T being earth...

:headno:

I absolutely love this, what sort of money are they now??

The green sheep. Such a CS legend.

Welcome, a nice change from the ordinary "Dave from Braintree" welcome thread too! That's some mileage!!!

Being honest, I hate that. It looks terrible (imo). Something about the outside screams "I'm a KIA" until you realise it's got a meter sq renault badge on the front. The Clio has always been desirable to younger people and that just looks like something my nan would have wanted. Then you get...

Hell no. Not on a road car. It'd lose every ounce of class.

I love this place, like really.

Superb!!!!

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... HANG ON. The RS version will be auto only? Surely CS members actually make up a fair % of new RS Clio's purchased in the Uk at least?

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... I'm pretty bored and have just checked, if they come out at 22k, I don't know why I'd not just buy a 125i hatch for for £2750 more.

Re: Clio 4RS prices released... LOL! Millions have been subject to wage freezes yet the prices of Renault hot hatches just never stop climbing.

Using your own 3G, on your own phone, they can't check s**t. But yes, essentially being connected to a work network on your phone they could see what you're browsing. No more toilet wanks for you.

123D is a good engine..... if it's mapped. ;)

Dave, have you like most, not got a pot of random nuts and bolts? If not, I'm sure there's probably one you could nick off the car from somewhere that isn't vital for now.

Real world, 37 mpg IME. Motorways if you can deal with being bored, 42mpg, 40 normally. Even when really abusing it you'll still see 18mpg

If you've got a sparky coming over and he hasn't got a few random bits like that lying in his van I'd be surprised.

God I'm good.

Dave: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/terminals-splices/crimp-ring-terminals/?searchTerm=ring+connector You're looking for "Crimp Ring Terminals"

From a quick bit of research, 120 amps apparently. I could be wrong though.

These are a bit too small for me, but it's the internal diameter! See it says 6mm! http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_157590_langId_-1_categoryId_255229 Dave you are chief spanner

Can you not get to a local motorfactors or even halfords?

Why 13mm Dave? Are you on crack? The outside of the nut will be 13mm, the hole on that bolt is likely 6 8 or 10mm. So the inside of that o-ring wants to be 6/8/10mm, right??

In terms of reliability, coming from my ph1, they're really very good. In the time I had mine I did the clutch (age/miles), and the only thing to actually fail on me other than that was the top engine mount. It cost me a box of beer for DannyR to drive me another one down. Oh, and my passenger...

Got a multi meter? Go through the wires and see if you can identify which wires go live on switch unlock and switch lock?

I know Adam on here did, but I don't know if he got it all working. Are you any good with electrics? You may be able to get it going with a mutlimeter. How many wires for each?

Interesting one.... Try to take a look at both haynes manuals is my only advice.
