Sorry, I know this is a fairly common style post but could do with some help/advice if possible. My wife and I want to move to a bigger place and I want to get rid of my 19 16v for something a bit newer. I have a budget of £5K (no more) and want something a bit bigger than our other car (a...

Coming back from town last night with my wife down the usual road to our house. Its a 30 limit and I know where the camera is so I always drop below 30 to be safe. Cant have been doing more than 25 but I got flashed (twice). It was right at the last of the white lines on the road and I was...

My girlfriend bought one a couple of months ago and I have to say I am fairly impressed. Well equipped and quite nippy for a 1.2 Needless to say she drives it a bit soft so I have been showing her how to drive it properly. Thing is I have managed to break the auto lights and the auto wipers...

Not sure which system to get. What does each sound like and what is each like to fit? Cheers

Are fibre glass seats road legal? I should imagine they are not too comfy though? I want a pair of seats that are lighter than standard but not some £500 carbon fibre jobs. Any suggestions? Cheers

I know most valvers get the dreaded rust on the rear arches. Just wondered if anybody knew if you can replace the rear arches to rpevent it from coming back. Most bodyshops I have spoken to either wont rouch rust, or say "we can do it but it will come back anyway so why bother?" Cheers

On a valver, if you wanted to fit a 2.0 willy engine, can you utilise the 1.8 loom. ie - does everything plug in the same? I know you need the 2.0 ECU really, but will this just plug into the 1.8 loom? Cheers

If an amp produces 1x1600RMS at 2ohms is that the power that each sub connected will receive, or is that shared between them? Eg. If you connected two 4ohm 800RMS rated subs, thereby increasing the load to 2 Ohms, would they each be getting 800RMS (just right) or would they each be getting...

Was on my way back from Kettering to Birmingham with a car full of mates. On the M6 doing about 85 when somehting behind came up close then backed off a bit but was still too close for my comfort. He then starts flashing me and Im thinking WTF? I cant speed up coz theres a car in front and...

I am amp shopping at the moment. A lot of companies quote the RMS at 14.4V rather than at 12V Does this mean that in reality they will be producing less than quoted? Cheers

1. Whats the best way of running decent speaker cable from inside the car to the speakers/tweeters that will be mounted in my front door? 2. Can I take a 6 channel amp (4x50RMS + 2x75RMS @ 4ohms) and bridge 2 channels to make a 2x100RMS + 2x75RMS? 3. Are Directed Audio amplifiers any good? Ta

Nakamichi CD-45z Second hand but in very good condition. Not fitted it yet but heard they were decent and it was quite cheap. Anyone else got one or know of them?

Only a box so not bothered about warantee etc, just wondered if a stainless steel backbox gives a different type of sound to mild steel?

I was thinking of getting a shift light with rev limit and launch control. But not sure which to go for and what benefits are. Also is full throttle shift safe to use? Any suggestions

Ok so I now have a 19 chamade but still.. Car is going to look standard, just with coilovers and clear indicators. 3.5" Inwardly rolled, 4" slashcut or 2x3" slashcut. Was worried slashcut might look a bit Jap and the inwardly rolled option would suit the stealth look? That said, I...

I got out of work early yesterday and thought I would drop into Kwik Fit on the way home to get my Ktec decat fitted to my 19 valver. No customers there so I thought this will only take 10 mins. Well it would have had the fat, pube-faced teenager behind the counter agreed to fit it...

I know there have been posts before but not found the answers I want so... I have bought myself a spare head which is in excellent condition. I want to have full headwork + cams but not sure where to go? Can anyone recommend? - Hillpower, Ktec, GDI (Andy seems like a top bloke) BB, others...

If I have a 3 position toggle switch and up is on, middle is off and down is on How do I wire the following? Device A is connected to up position and Device B is connected to down position This is ok, but I want both Device A + B to come on when switch is in down position and only Device A...

Want to uprate my headlight bulbs, want something with a nice clear blue or white light. Theres loads out there but which ones are worth the money?

Anyone got the Ktec one? How much quieter is it than the normal decat? Also how is it quieter, just the outer sleeve or something inside the pipe as well? Thanks

Got a mate who will let me have some alloys on the cheap. PCD and offset are ok for a renault 4*100 + et35 but centre bore is 57mm I take it this is just the larger hole in the middle of the wheel? WOuld this fit a clio/19 etc?

What width are they? If they are 6.5" does anybody have a set for sale?

How do you unplug it from the back of the instrument panel? There is a big white plastic plug which I have tried twisting and pulling but it wont come off. Any ideas? Ps - car is a 19 16v but I would have thought same as clio valver

what are the advantages over sealed enclosures? do audiobahn do free air subs? (I want a pair that look pretty)

I was thinking of buying 2 10" subs and 1 15" sub I would like to have some kind of dash mounted switch to flick between the 2 setups depending on if I was listening to dance or hip hop. I am guessing I would need to have separate amps etc but is this possible and how would I go about...

Any good? Seem to be decently specced for the price and dont look too shabby. Was thinking of an LA890 4 channel amp and a pair of 6.5" components for now. Any experience with them?

Was my mom. It was on the M6 and we were doing roughly 70 (my mom actually doesnt drive that fast) but neither of us realised it was a 50 zone and a camera flashed us. (Was one of those ones where there are no white lines on the floor) Feel really guilty coz she was taking me somewhere and I...

Ok I sold my clio last week and was thinking of buying a cheap run around for about a grand. Wasnt holding out hope of finding anyhting but then I saw a 19 16v chamade (phase 1) and I haggled the guy down to £850. It has only done 55k and has almost full service history. Only thing is...

Yup my babys gone :( Put the ad on autotrader website monday morning, someone phoned that day and came to see it last night. Left deposit and is collecting at weekend. I got a good price and he seems like a nice bloke so I will hopefully get him to join the club. Seems wierd, having no...
