So after spending the last 5 years since passing my test in a 1.2 Clio, I've decided it's time for a change. I've considered pretty much everything, different budgets, buying brand new, fast cars, sensible economical cars. I even considered (and went to look at) a f**king £10k vauxhall Astra! In...
I have had my iPhone for 18 months now, it's a bit battered and cracked and I fancy a change. Today I saw the htc one x in an advert in the paper with the Vodafone buy back scheme, quite like the look of it, like the android system. I was just wondering if all my music on iTunes will be...
Evening.
So I am going to finish uni in april, and have a job waiting for me when I finish. I am after something to replace my trusty 1.2 with, I have owned it for 3 years and built my no claims up. I'm 21 so insurance isn't too bad for any of them.
Looking to spend anything from 5-8k, and the...
I'm having a bit of an issue with my car when I drive over a bumpy road the car knocks from the front and it feels as though the front wheels are loose or something. An I right in thinking the ball joints are shagged?
So i finished work early and took advantage of the nice weather and gave my car its first wash since november. Took some quick photos after dropping my brother off at work :)

It's MOT time for me in feb and I'm going to need four new tyres, I currently have t1r's on the front and eagle f1's on the rear, I do quite a few miles so I'm after something comfy (low noise) and that will last a reasonable amount of time, new t1r's lasted 9 months so I want something that...
So i bought a racing wheel the other day, connected it all up, then as soon as i pressed a button it disconnected itself and then reconnects after a period of time 10-15 seconds. it keeps doing this for every button i press (pedals and gear paddles included.) Any help with resolving the issue...
Not sure whether it is possible, but my temp gague is showing that my engine is only getting up to half temperature, this happens on my work commute ( around 7 miles) where my engine always gets up to the correct temperature until about a couple of weeks ago.
If i drive to the mrs (90 miles)...
I know most of you will say this is a no brainer and to go for the twingo, but, the GT has a much better interior, more toys and is cheaper to run (finance deal) so i'm unsure which to get.
I'd love the twingo. but i'm just worried that it would get a bit tiresome on long journeys, i do 12-14k...
seriously considering a gt. I'm leaning more towards the dci as i do alot of miles. But the petrol is loads faster on paper. Anybody driven the dci that can compare it to the petrol? Also not sure what colour to get. Thoughts appreciated :)
Right then, think it's about time i started a project thread!
My car is a 5 door 1.2 16v (awaits ripping for doors)
started off life like this:
So after rolling around for a year looking standard,and not having enough money for anything else, i decided it was time for changes, i...
right, time has come to refurb my alloys, currently antracite:
would like to see:
gold with black centres
hi power silver, colour coded centres and lip
white with black centres.
i'd be most grateful :)

Had a thread last week with just the back down, well now the fronts are on :D
I love it, handles like a go-kart :star:
Anyway here are some crappy pics :)
Before:
lol at standard spring
After:
glare :(
comments welcome
front: (can be used as a table lol)
and the back, which i'm very happy with :D
got sent the wrong size front coilovers, so as the backs were already on this is how i roll til the fronts arrive lol
my car has recently developed a nails down the blackboard style of squeak on the breaks, i had them on new last summer so they can't be worn out. I was just wondering if there was any way to stop them squeaking other than replacing them? Thanks
ok, so slightly childish, but i have a flamer and i'm thinking of getting a charmander/charizard sticker lol. I cant decide which to get :(
i'm leaning to charmander...
opinions?
So from this:
To this:
Future plans:
LOWERING!!! Desperate lol
RS Grille
Refurb wheels
Dont think it needs colour coding as i think the black trim goes with the wheels :)
Comments welcome :)
Recently went from rock hard economy tyres to some Toyo T1r's and i have to say the difference is incredible, car feels so much more composed and easier to drive, much less road noise too, very impressed, and surprised too! :)
found this today when changing to my spare after being told by the garage the tyre was broken, i told them i'd swap to the spare and sort a tyre myself, only to find this:
BIG flat spot at the bottom,
I bought these off callum (renclio) as summer wheels, but looks like they will be going...
I have recently developed a deep humming sound in the car when i go above 40mph. I think its coming from the back but i know it's not the exhaust as the noise would change with revs and not speed.
I do have a sub in the boot so could it be a problem with the alternator? was just wondering if...
