went over a pot hole this morning, and my engine cut out :(
tried to start it again, and it turned over and didnt catch.
so i walked the rest of the way to the bus stop and got the bus to work rather annoyed.
so i go back to the car after work, have another little look,
tried pressing that...
probably a daft question,
picked up some brand new fiberglass side skirts (£40 ebay steal ;))
the inside is a kind of green, but the outside is grey and really smooth,
my question is, is this the finish, or is it primer??
thanks
looked out the window thismorning,
did a mini sex wee,
then came and got a camera so i could share the glorious sight with all of CS,
yes im a geek i know,
but here is what i saw
not mine, tbh dont know whos it is,
but its lovely
i failed,
filling up the coolant on a Wreg punto (you cannot see the bottle, or the min max markers!!!!!!
assumed it had none in, put loads in and before long it was over flowing,
what will happen now if i run the engine???
Have a clio grande, and the seats are awful,
im not sure weather to try and get a nicer interior (dynamique, cup or 172)
or get a set of buckets, harnesses, and strip the car out,
i like the idea of making it feel like abit more of a track ****,
but its still only a 1.2
what do you think...
as im sure you remember i did some dechaving on the front on my ph1,
from this!
To this!
well ive finally got my arse in gear and done the rear of the car,
before!
ths is not at the height of the chavness, also had a flushed boot, and the bumperplate suck on the bumper, but no pics...
if the title makes any sence,
the cap that semi-circular, and is at the base of the rear window wiper,
its held on by pins at either side,
for some reason that im still confused about, i need one, (maybe both)
i cant seem to get them off cars at scrap yards, (they clip into the boot lid, and...
i bought some rims over a year ago,
and they came with tyres, dont know the model but i can imagine theyre pretty budget,
they seem to have got quite bad lately,
go round a corner slightly more than slowly, and it gets very tail happy,
(they have plenty of tread, and at the right preasure)...
is this a good price??
i have no idea about the value of engines,
its basically a clio 172
sawn in half,
so engine, ecu, loom, gearbox,
driveshafts, front suspension,
steering, brakes,
also the dash, with the clocks,
no rims, no bodywork,
no seats,
was quoted £1000+vat for the above from a...
ive put a new bootlid on my car (been in my garage for a long time)
and ive just realised, i never cleaned the glue off from when it was tinted,
is there anything anyone can suggest to help me??
dont really want to sit there for hours on end

im thinking about putting badges back on the boot of my clio,
but i was going to paint them too,
what colour would people suggst on a monaco blue clio??
was thinking:
Black,
White,
Yellow,
i think blue would make it look like ive tried to hide them and fail tbh,
pics would also be lovely!:D
ARGH im so F'ing annoyed,
i hate painting, with a passion,
paintwork on the front bumper was all done,
laquered and ready
but i failed on the last hurdle,
taking off the masking,
for some reason, the primer didnt stick properly to the bumper,
does this mean all the rest is going to...
Right,
have a few days off work,
so ive decieded after going to my first cliosport meet,
that i officially drive a chav mobile,
so something must be done, as times and tastes change,
ive decieded to de-chav my ph1, and so the project de-chav begins!!!
i know most people on CS arnt fans of non...
there a 172 cup driving about my area,
in need of a clean, and desparate need of love some love, (doesnt sound too healthy)
in the light blue colour,
i see it all the time,
the bloke insides a million, ok more like 69
and driving it like a complete granny,
5th gear 20mph everywhere,
over reving...
is this a laughable idea??
i have blue cobra monacos an the front,
used to have a whole load of sound system, but thats all gone now,
with the interior back in, it just doesnt look right,
so its either a stripped out slowmobile,
or bye bye bucket seats and harnesses (they did make for a fun...
after reading FM-696's guide to painting (great guide btw, will be following it to the letter)
i realise im not gonig to be able to do a proper paint job on my front bumper without taking it off :(
now this leaves me with an obvious problem,
i dont need the car next week, but in case theres...
clios been in my family for a while,
but when we got it,
the sticker on the inside of the door with the colour code wasnt there,
so does anyone know off the top of theyre head what shade of blue this is??
its a 1.2 8v Grande on an X(2000-01) plate,
always thought it was monaco, but im not...
i want to fill in the ridge in the mk2 ph1 non sport bumper, bump strip,
is that makes any sence,
done some fillering before,
but does anyone want to write a guide to any good/revised ways of doing it??
any advice would be great
Right, after not having a sub in my car for about a month,
i finally get another jbl 1201.1 amp,
i install it, but dont get to blast it at all, (the mrs dont like it:()
but today i was with my mate,
and we turned it up, and it cuts out,
keep it a very low volume, its fine.
the amp was last...
Does anyone have a picture of the back of these lights,
the side that you dont normally see,
because im very confused,
do the mk2 ph2's bulbs connect to the clusters a different way??
and do they not use the same bulb holder??
why does so much changing to the wiring have to be done...
have lowered my clio on apex 60mm,
(came with free back problems!!!)
i like the hight it sits,
but i want to strip it out now and i think it will look too 'nose down'
is there anywhere that sell rear springs only, and what sort of prices are we looking at.
I have just fitted a pipercross airfilter and oil breather,
ive raised the bonnet to clear the strut brace,
and now i can smell the fumes from the oil breather if i turn the blowers on,
after hearing long ago that the fumes are faaaaaaaaaaaar from good for you, i spent the rest of the...
basically, im on a bit of a de-chaving spree
(tints off, black rear lights changed for ph2 ones)
i have a rediculous remus twin exit exhaust
that i want too see the back of,
what i really want, is an exhaust like the standard one,
that cannot be seen,
however i like the noise of putting...
Sorry if this is in the wrong section,
but a week or so ago, pulling back my right stalk began to do nothing,
it doesnt spray the screen, and it doesnt automatically do the wipers,
is disregarded it at the time thinking it was just out of water,
so i go to fill it up today,
and it overflows...
when giving it some, (in a 1.2 :approve:)
changing up for 1st to 2nd, about 5500rpm
if you change too quick, it chrunches going into 2nd,
no power loss or anything,
gear box has enough oil
and cluch is less than a year old,
anyone??
