From today, I retire as Cliosport Events Manager / Admin. As one of the co-founders of Cliosport, I can bow out happy in the knowledge that we built a great club, made a lot of people happy, ran brilliant and unforgettable holidays every year, organised some wicked events and raised the profile...

Anyone want them? I cant bear to let these cables go for a fiver which is the only bid Ive got on ebay at the moment...

I was just trawling through my video folder on the computer and dug this out... a video of one of my 0-60 runs at Donny South 2004 (North Weald airfield). It was an average run at 5.7 seconds, so not the quickest pass I did (which was 5.57) but not too shabby considering its front wheel drive...

FAO auto electricians / ICE experts... Ive just finished putting a big stereo into my Scirocco - a JBL 80.4 four channel amp running the fronts and rears, with a JBL 300.1 monobloc running the sub. All up, puts out around 300W rms. Peak current draw is around 70 A Got a brand new battery in...

Theres been a lot of us chewing the cud over 0-60 times, 0-100, quarter mile ETs and terminal speeds, outright power, power/weight etc and the inter-relationship between all of them.So just out of interest, what are everyones 60-100 times? You can use whatever gears you want that you think will...

The cheapo 1.5 farad power cap (with digital voltmeter) that I got off ebay has finally arrived, incl instructions, and their wiring diagram looks a bit weird but seems to just about make sense. Basically Im hooking up a 5 channel amplified system, one 4 channel amp running the fronts and rears...

I need a bit of advice on my ICE project Im going to start on soon. Im stripping everything out of my Clio so thought Id put it all into my old Scirocco instead. Ive got a load of JBL stuff that Ive accumulated, ready to fit. The front 6x4s and rear 6x9s are already in and I can hear that the...

Ive decided that the wedge shaped MDF sub box in the back of my Clio is a bodge and I want to make something different that will fit into the rear footwells. Ive just bought a fibreglassing kit to keep me busy over the winter LOL The plan is to have a shape that basically fills the two...

This months Used Car Buyer mag (August 2004 issue) has the Ultimate Guide to the Clio, covering models up to the present. Those of you who were at the photoshoot last month are featured, although there are a couple of omissions, and some of my text was slightly altered (in particular if more...

Desperately need some opinion from you on your cars following the photoshoot last week. Deadline was today and I need to edit and submit your stuff to UCB. Tried PM and email but to no avail. Help! Either PM me or email but I need 50-100 words tonight, about your Clio: good points, bad...

I urgently need a few opinions from V6 owners, both versions old and new, about their ownership experience: Good points, bad points, why you would recommend it, what could do with improving, any other cars you considered when buying it etc? Just a quick email to me...

I need someone who can suggest a decent wheel finishers/powder coaters around the Lowestoft/Yarmouth/Norwich area. Ill need them to inspect and powder coat my wheels cos ROCHFORD TYRES ARE CROOKS. To cut a very long story short, they are claiming that all the nicks and chips taken out of my...

Latest news: After a long long time my turbo valver is almost ready, the end is in sight. The engine is now working after a nightmare with electrics; wiring knackered, fuses blowing, headlamps and immobiliser gone weird etc. Mods include custom Maxi bumper, side skirts, Willy spoiler...

Ive just been pondering this one for a while. Im no fluid engineer or anything but Ive got a rough idea of the aerodynamics of your average road car and Ive been wondering - what purpose does any kind of tailgate spoiler serve at all? Im not talking about a sticking up spoiler like say a Clio...

Sorry this is in the wrong forum but I need to get all members attention. We have an allocation of 15 spaces for the Donny show 2004, the biggest and best UK car show, and always the first of the year, in about 6 weeks time. I have a preliminary list of people who want to come but if I dont get...

OK to cut a long story short, most of you know what the front end of an Evo 6 looks like...well that black, diamond pattern mesh is exactly what I need. Its open enough that you can see clearly through it, and I need something just as widely spaced, in a tough black finish the same. Anyone know...

Your PM box is full mate. Anyway, if you want a special Maxi bumper (its a narrowed version to fit the standard valver) ring up PSG and ask them to make you one to order - about £250 incl VAT and delivery. Or you could wait until mine arrives in the next week or so, and Ill let you know how well...

The Donny South organisers have announced a prize for the best/biggest club stand at the show this year. We were the biggest and best last year and it would be a shame not to pull it off again this time round, so if youve not yet considered coming along, check out the link on the main page and...

Louvred valver bonnet- row of ten at the RHS of picture are above the chargecooler and filter cone so should allow chargecooler rad heat to rise/be drawn straight out rather than warming up the inlet. The 9 at the front of the bonnet bulge are directly above and further back from the main...

The front and rear bumpers are either gonna have their rubbing strips colour coded or taken off and Im putting on a set of M3 skirts, they dont stick out too much...but the question is do I keep the side rubbing strips and just colour code them? Or take them off and smooth the sides? Theyre the...

Im still deciding on what colour to have my Clio turbo resprayed. Ive junked the idea of a same colour respray cos its boring and Im fed up of people asking if its a Williams. But it still has to be blue. So the main things Im mulling over are these: Stick with a metallic, or go for a...

So Im thinking about trying a paddle clutch in my Clio and Im not that well up on whats what. Well Ive got ideas but not sure. Can someone explain exactly: Why does having paddles instead of a disc make them capable of higher torque loading/greater clamping force onto the flywheel? Why are...

Just an idea Ive got, maybe some time in the future spend between a few grand on a fast classic...must be genuinely fast and a good drive though, and has to be RWD Porsche 911 (70s) or a 944 S2 Lancia Delta Integrale Audi Quattro Or an old Scooby STI import

Can anyone whos got video footage from Europe (or photos like Tonys already put up), host it somewhere so we can all have a look?

Went out round Southend last night to put some miles on the turbo valver and eventually wound up down the seafront doing laps behind a Calibra 16v, seemed slightly modded and it was noisy and seemed pretty quick. Didnt know much about them until I just looked it up, a 150bhp 2.0 16v. Anyway...

WAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRP--TSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssss---WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARPPPPP----TTSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssss-- The sound of my lovely Clio that I finally picked up today after waiting since December when I blew up the original engine. Never had a turbo car before, and I just cant help backing off...

Well it looks like it might be ready for next weekend, my valvers up on the lifters at BB with the engine bay empty, the oil cooler and chargecooler rad you can see at the front: http://www.nickread.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/forumhost/turbo/coolers.jpg ...and heres my F7P lump with chromed...

Not the right forum, I know, but I couldnt decide where to put it! Basically I need some advice on correct bulbs and power ratings to use in headlamps and stuff, plus mods to my lamps as well. Im changing over my headlamps to Morette twins and you lose the indicators from the main unit - they...
