I think it was one of your video clips that sold this exhaust for me to be honest. I prefer the raspy sound over the boomy sound a lot of the 2.5" systems seem to give. I bought this second hand from the classified on here for about £150 from memory. The decat i bought from ktec though, as the...

No worries mate. I don't think you need the loctite. But i bought some to be on the safe side to apply to the outside of the thread insert. Think it was rated at 200 degree C from memory. Just had a thought though, you might want to double check the thread size for the Clio plugs. I think M14...

Just looked on eBay, and i think this is the kit i bought. It was at least identical in what was provided anyway: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25pcs-Car-Truck-Steel-Screw-Thread-Inserts-Tap-Repair-Kit-M14-x-1-25-Spark-Plug/192846901687?epid=18030059524&hash=item2ce69231b7:g:xA0AAOSwzcNb4W6E

I've had this happen once before on a 182, didn't cause any damage to the engine at all. But as you say it ran on 3 cylinders and sounded like a tractor. I assumed it was a lead popping off as i'd also had this once before on the same car. In the end i bought a helicoil type repair kit for a...

Yeah, I'd read sticking the lambda behind the heat shield worked, so did this a while ago, and just bought a plug for the decat. But it lasted about 2 days before the light came on again, i've cleared it a couple of times, but keeps coming back on. Not got around to grabbing a spacer yet, but...

So I recorded the exhaust noise to send to my brother last week. Then one morning on the way to work i decided to record the acceleration to get a better idea of 0-60 times. I figured this would be around the 6.0-6.5 second mark with a good launch. Exhaust is the Ktec Janspeed 2.25 system...

Subscribed to the YT channel. The cup looks great, might start looking to do some of this with my RB once i pick up another car. I'm now on eBay looking at NC30's though, after looking at your videos...... Always wanted one of these to upgrade from my Aprilia RS125 when i was younger.

I've been considering getting one for a few years now. But have always ended up selling my Clio and moving on. I'm on clio No. 5 now as i keep seeing sense and coming back. So currently running a modified scenic shifter and the linkage is really bad, so think this is going to be my next big...

Honestly i can't remember now. I just remember adding it all up after about 3 months and it being around the £2.5k mark and it was still throwing up Engine management lights. I'm pretty sure there was a boost leak somewhere which they're renown for, but even after doing a leak test, i couldn't...

My commute to work is probably 50% 40 & 50mph speed roads with average speed camera's and 40% roads were overtaking isn't really possible safely. There are a few miles of roads to have fun on, but it's easy to average close to 40mpg, if you avoid having a little fun on those bits. I'm currently...

I really wished i'd gone for the v6 instead of the 225 Turbo when i bought mine a couple years ago. I had nothing but trouble with the bloody thing, owned it 3 months and spent over £2.5k servicing it and keeping it on the road. In the end it was the 24mpg average that pushed me over (bearing in...

Thanks.... I always end up travelling for miles whenever i buy a car for some reason, so try to answer all the questions i'd want to ask, either before seeing the car or whilst there if I went to view it. The only issue the guy that viewed the car found was that there was oil around the...

Hopefully it'll be the last car i need to sell for a while. Ended up selling my wife's C-Max to Evans Halshaw a few days after christmas as well, because i just couldn't be arsed to try and sell it privately, and they offered what i thought was fair money for it.

Mine was up for sale at the beginning of December for £2500, I'd had so much interest via here, and Facebook, but everyone was either miles away or not fully committed to actually buying a car it seemed in the lead up to Christmas. It went on eBay a few days after Christmas. Counted up the...

I'm not sure what you'd be able to spend £1000 on to be honest. It's already had loads of work done. The gearbox is solid, the clutch is new, belts are done. Brakes are recent and upgraded. ball joints new, etc. The only thing i'd probably look to change would be the steering wheel for a 330mm...

Thanks dude.. Thanks for the kind words... the car is still available at £2200, but is up on eBay now and i'm getting quite a lot of interest, so may not be around for much longer. I still think its easily a £2.5k+ car at any other time of the year. My old Artic Blue on 114k miles needing...

It is more rubbery and flexible than the standard hose yes. But not massively like a normal hose pipe, but i guess this is to deal with the high pressures

I recently bought a 20m hose for my Nilfisk C110. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20m-Nilfisk-High-Pressure-Washer-HOSE-Jet-Power-Wash-fits-NILFISK-C110-models/123049950327?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Had the Nilfisk for about 5 years now, and can't fault it really...

It's pretty much just a few small dents really. problem is when the car is clean they really stand out. I've got two cars that have dents that could be pulled out. I might be better off getting a pro in, but i like having a go myself. Saying that i'll not be trying this on the RB first.

Well yeah, that was my point and why i'm asking if anyone on here has first hand experience. I'm not expecting perfect results, even pro's have difficulty sometimes. But it's something i fancy having a go at. However, if the general opinion is that it's a pointless waste of £40-50 on a kit...

As anyone ever tried one of these dent removal kits? I've watched a few videos on Youtube, seems the people selling the equipment get very good results and the DIY'er get varying results. Though some are very optimistic in the dents there trying to pull out.

I'd be surprised if it was something internal, as now i know i can't push the shifter too far over, i goes into gear fine. It's literally just that the shifter seems to move too far over. Does anyone know what the spring is for?

I've seen a few people mention these on the facebook group. Personally, I think you'd be better off buying a second hand system from a known brand. There is a couple in the market section for sale now. Including a mint Milltek for £150

Driving home on Friday night, suddenly i couldn't find 1st gear. Every other gear was fine and the car drove normally, so i just used 2nd to pull away. It was late when i got home, so couldn't investigate (plus i was wearing a Tux), but i realised that if i didn't move the shifter all the way...

Out of the list i'd probably choose the Megane 250, with a couple of simple mods to up the power as previously stated. But for a car to use for fun and track days, I'd probably also consider a 172 Cup, maybe with ITB's, Diff, etc with some weight saving.

I've never seen a set sell for that low to be honest, even very tatty one. But i'm only exposed to clio forums and sites. I sold a set of Evo 6 seats on the same mounts for around £400 (i don't recall the exact amount) about a year ago. But prices and demand change on this sort of thing. I'd...

How much would you expect to sell a set of Recaro's from an Evo 7, with Jon Foz lowering mounts for a Clio 1*2? I'm considering changing to bucket seats, but depends how much i can expect back for these really, as I'm trying to not throw loads of money at the car for a while.

I was looking at ultralite F1 alloys the other day. These come in 15 X 7.5J. and 6.5kg. but they are a copy, design wise and I'm not sure how strong they are.

It's worth buying quality bulbs. The Audi TT i had a couple years ago, had cheap ebay Xenon bulbs installed and generated too much heat and burnt all the reflective material inside the projectors. Cost me about £300 for some RS4 projectors with clear lens. but new headlight units were £600...

https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/popular-products/cam-belt-fitting-tool-kit-clio-f4r/ £146 here if that helps. I'd purchase all the parts via them too. Likely the cheapest and all genuine parts.
