Are they REALLY worth the money?? i mean it all comes from the same hole in the ground, and many of them are refined in the same places. The only difference is in whats added by the different companies! and im sure a lot of them are just over marketed bull turd! on an old 100k miler, is it...

Oh joys, a knocking noise! were my thoughts on the way to college thismorning! ill describe the knock!! it seems to come and go, it doesnt sound like an engine knock, and you can kind of feel it through the pedal! it does it over sharp bumps, single knock or maybe two knocks, but it also does...

Sorry for the lack of pictures, im not usually into the whole "blogging/doing write ups". but as im bored, i thought id give it a go! So late august year, my love afair with my low **** finally came to an end, too much beaching on speedhumps had taken its toll on the gearbox/diff and it locked...

I have both a standard airbox with an ITG pannel filter, and an open cast K&N filter, personally i think the k&N did look marginly better and sound much better, but will it be bringing the power down by any noticable amount?? i can make a cold air feed for it also if need be! any input...

mounting a bar between the two legs that go down toward the rear arches. the cage is held on by 4bolts on each legs going to the arch, and two bolts each leg that mounts to the bottom of the Bpillar, the bar would be welded in, however my worry would be, in the even of the an accident, all...

wheels really need a refurb, theyre letting the car down!! can somebody shop my wheels black! or any other colour they feel might look good! the more the better! :approve: and if anyone can lower the back to match the front easily, it would be very much appreciated!! thanks

im not sure what it is called, but its black, and hard, :eek: its like a sheet of the stuff stuck to the bloot floor, looks almost like tar, im guessing for reducing road noise?? how do i get it off! i want to paint my interior to complete the stripped look, and it is getting in the way...

I have a williams blue valver that ive stripped out. blue seats, red harnesses and a white cage. so no chance of the interior matching! im stumped as to what colour to paint the interior! it looks ver shabby the colour it is! and blue is a bit boring!! i wanted to do white, but a friend...

you past me, i was broken down on the roundabout :( should have said hello, i could have used the company!

driving along today, and heard a bang, followed by a noise that sounded like bouncing metal as if something had falled out. Upon slowing to a hault, the NSF wheel locked up, and refused to budge. really needed to going, so managed to get rolling again, and continued until i could get off the...

The owner of this car works at a shop at the top of my road. So everytime i go up my road, ive seen this car slowly evolve! it started life as an odysee blue (i think) clio grande, and now it looks like this! you can kind of see the origional colour at the edge of the bumper! it...

is the name of one of the rallys in the FIA european championship, was great fun to watch, and took these snaps of clios and thought id share them with you guys! i am aware that my photography skills leave a lot to be desired, but i did my best!

While driving along, ill go over a bump and the speedo will die, just return to zero, and the tripcounter stops counting up. sometimes it will come back to life after 10 minutes, but most of the time it will stay dead. slowing down to zero, and pulling away again usually makes it come back...

Engine seems like it's getting too hot, it smells like burning under the bonnet (and coming through the vents) the fan comes on and stays on after the engine is turned off. the water temperature on the dash however stays at a normal level both water level and oil level are between min and...

Can it be done without raising the car?? if i raise the car, and simply lower it back down after, it will put the tracking out! im really not sure how tracking is done on car so not sure how easy it is to do on low cars! the main problem arises because the car is a bit lower than low...
