Given the car a bit of a drive, feels a lot better and the steering is immediate. Very happy with it. However....exhaust could be blowing :weary: this could be an excuse to get a whole new system though with added noise!!!!

Job done!!! Pedal feels a lot better. Will give it a proper test tomorrow. Although the clips that hold the wheel arch lining on are a pig, may have pulled a few of the heads off.......will need replacing those!

Thanks! Hope it is worth the effort and money when I come to abuse it on track, need to book Llandow for March and CSF. Yeah, I probably should try and find something to cover them, but they look so nice!!!!! My ARB is 22mm so should be stiffer than a Whiteline, aren't they 19mm? I've not driven...

Put the bolts in the wrong way so they poke up, put the top mounts in the wrong way and use a piece of string going across the back two bolts on the one side to the other side. This will make sure they are level and in a line so the bolt at the front is in the right place. This with a bit of an...

I hope so, it does feel as if the cable isnt doing anything. Driving in traffic is a nightmare as you can't do low revs. Got the cable now so with your pictures and the post I found should be easy enough. Thanks, kept me busy the winter and out of trouble! Few tinkering things to do over the...

I missed this post the other day! Good pictures, that will help later. If the new cable doesn't work I am just going to get a reconditioned TB, maybe that "enlarged" one because it will definitely add 4.82502bhp 😂 haha But the way you can stop the car revving when it has stuck by...

My brother is a hero, get a picture from him with the bolts in a lathe as he is extending the thread. Then I get another text from him last night saying they are in and it's all done. I am not lazy, I just can't use a lathe and the car is on his drive way! Few bit of touch up with the paint...

Bolts turned up today to fix the rear beam back on...thread isn't long enough ffs. Brother is taking them to work tomorrow to lengthen the threads. Throttle cable ordered so will fit that Friday. Hopefully this will solve the throttle issue.

Just torque them up to the correct amount and you shouldn'thave issues....famous last words and that. Just get bolt to hub ones

The one in the link says enlarged and has a new butterly CNC'd to go in it. I haven't properly looked at mine to know by sight if it looks enlarged. Did you do yours yourself then? Is there a notable difference in performance with it? Presume need some re-map or something else to get the most...

Actaully a good post by Rob I have just found, will order a cable tomorrow http://www.cliosport.net/threads/fao-all-ph1-172-owners-throttle.587942/#post-7844474 The way to change the cable is described on Rob's post is a lot clearer than what I found on other searches!

Need to sort out the throttle cable on the Ph1.....its useless! I am not sure if it just needs using after it has been left without use since September. Did a bit of searching and found a few things and methods, but what I was going to do was cut the one end off at the pedal (think this end...

Trying to convince the woman to come along seeing as she has dragged me to horse shows (horses are even more expensive than cars) Bit confused with the tickets though....what will I need for two people, inlcuding one track session for me and possibly a passenger pass (if she is feeling stupid to...

I've got 20mm H&R spacers on the front of mine. Not really used them yet as the car has been off the road sice September. But get ones with a steel insert that the bolts go in (not sure if this is standard) as threading directly into the ally spacers isn't the best idea. I did buy them second...

Haha luckily the car wasn't with me so it was safe :tonguewink: I actually had to spend money on it the other week which annoyed me; a bulb blew which involved removing the bumper to swap it :neutral:

Some picture updates from the weekend, because it doesn't count unless pictures are taken 😂 Car sat on axel stands within an hour of being back on the road, this time on another driveway! Front shocks came out with ease. Glad I changed the top mounts as this is what the one looked...

Fitted new coil overs, Solid top mounts and rear ARB......via grinding one rear beam bolt out, which are the worst bolts I have ever had to undo.

New suspension, rear anti roll bar and solid top mounts are on!!!! However......can't use the car as had to cut one of the bolts that holds the rear beam on. The worst design ever for a bolt. So it currently has two in so when I find one tomorrow/this week it will just slot in and be fine...

Front suspension on. Looks proper smart. Rear suspension not on.....chuffin' rear anti roll bar. Can't undo one bolt to remove the rear beam. Who thought of the design as they don't have a torx/hex head inside the car so you can't grip it. Looking like it will have to be cut and then left until...

Ahh might change the cable to start with. Step dad says he changed it when he owned the car before me, but can't remember. Can't be that expensive or hard so I may as well do it. So you bought a "new" TB and that solved it, after the gasket issue? I put new gaskets on when I swapped inlets so I...

The drive is flat....its been raining and the water hasn't shifted, not puddled just a layer of water and I have been led in it, so I know that it's flat! I don't think the car is bent haha, but it is as if the one side is lower! I've not noticed it before on any car I have jacked over the years.

Constant high revs. But this can be brought down by pulling the pedal up. Also the throttle pedal is very stiff and it's hard to get revs pulling off. It is as if the cable isn't doing anything.

I've noticed that when jacking the Clio up it doesn't go up level. As I can take two weeks off the ground if I jack it from one front corner and only one wheel when jacking from the other front. I've just put the car on axel stands, ground is level and the rear is not level, I can get one stand...

Apart from the throttle it's fine after months of no use, just needs to be used as it is a bit noisy and tappy, which I am sure will go after a good long run Ahh ok, don't really fancy stripping it down but if needs must!! As I have no engine breaking, it revs to 5k every time I change gear...

Car is back on the road.....not for long as I've just driven to my brothers so the suspension can be changed. Wouldn't start this morning, battery was fine, and cranked over fine, just didn't fire. Tbh I may have poo'd my pants as I though this is going to be immobiliser and it's going to be...

I've got a multi meter yeah, but I just hate anything electrical

ahh ok, would have thought the general loom would be the same over the entire range, but knowing the things on my car that have not been straight forward it could be anything. Thanks for the advice.

Thats amazing, THANKS! I hate car electrics.....actually I hate electronics and anything like that. Remember helping my step dad wire his kit car and that was a nightmare! I am sure it took longer to wire it than all of the mechanical building of it Totally missed input 7 was missing! I will...

This is back of the switch. The "A" is at the top if it isn't clear in the picture. Think I am going to go for this switch, looks a bit neater. http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/illuminated-push-button-hazard-switch-red-circular-with-rubber-splash-proof-cover

But looking at the switch, it is two rows of 4 pins with a letter "A" above the top row int he middle. Which order are the pins?! lol. Or is there labels on the connector (can't see as car isn't with me!)
