Anyone have any experience of these? Any good? Ive been swithering between Comp VR and one of these for a while and have ended up going for the Kicker in a custom Kicker enclosure. Ordered today but will probably take about a week. I was wondering what kind of amp power would be required to get...

has anyone ever seen/heard of this: http://www.renault.com/gb/produits/clio_symbol.htmhttp://www.renault.com/gb/produits/clio_symbol.htm How very weird! Its on the UK section of the Renault site as well!

Is it possible to decat a newer Clio with a straightforward cat replacement pipe, or do the lambda fuel sensors behind the cat cause problems? I dont know much about this, will taking the cat off remove the actual sensors, or will it just cause thm to play up cos theyre not getting a proper...

Right then, After a long afternoon spent down at the local dealers juggling about with different wheels, spacers and suspension, having numerous passengers in my car (Clio 2 Mk1) and a mates Dynamique (Clio 2 Mk2), the results are as follows: The only offset range to give full lock on a Mk1...

Just saw this posted on a local website by a guy that runs a big accessories shop outside Glasgow. Unfortunately, this guys pretty damn trustworthy and knows a lot of significant local car industry figures, so theres a fair chance it isnt a hoax! "This is being kept a bit hush, hush, but...

What kind of battery would I need for a total current draw of: a) 80A or b) 125A?? Could I get away with just a diesel Clio battery with a 1Farad cap or would I need more juice? Cheers.

Anyone with a Piper-x S-spec induction kit (especially on a 1.2 16v), I am about to purchase an induction kit, and I would really like a definitive answer as to whether the S-Spec kit (which I quite fancy the look and sound of) is louder then the likes of K&N 57i/normal Piper-x? And does it give...

Im looking into getting some wheel spacers for my 1.2 16v, for two main reasons: a) Im hoping this will cure the slight rubbing Im getting against the inner arches with the 17"s and 40mm drop, and b) Id like the wheels to come a good bit further out in the arches, as they sit really far in just...

Hi. I was wondering if the blue K-Tec engine cover that you can see in the pic of the filter relocation kit is available for sale? If so, how much are they? If not, is there a company who made it for K-Tec that I could contact?? Cos Id really like one in place of the silly yellow and grey...

Was out driving this evening when suddenly I lost power and my car started running incredibly rough. The sound I could only describe as being like an old Beetle or a Hillman Imp with a chug-chug kind of noise, but much louder!!! Ive checked all the plugs and HT leads cos Im fairly sure its not...

OK, Ive been scheming and I think Ive just about figured out the spec of my next install... will need to save up quite a bit for this one I suspect! Im aiming for an all-round loud SQ type set-up, so bearing this in mind any advice offered (probably mainly from EvilICE!) would be much...

Today I put my ICE back in my car after getting the 17"s fitted and I was driving along with just one front seat passenger and my rear arches were scrubbing on every bump in the road!!! I cant understand why this is happening cos my cars lowered only 40mm, my wheels are only 7" wide, Ive got the...

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some cheap Ground Zero stuff??? Ive got a Hydrogen series amp and Im looking for subs, components, etc. (basically whatever I can find) to make up the rest of my new install. If anyone knows a supplier of this, or if EvilICE can get me good deals on...

I need the advice of those great technical wizards like Slarty and other petrol-heads... Basically, my car is suddenly (ie. today) noisy, sluggish and gently backfires when changing gear or decelerating, and its lumpy on tickover... I was thinking the timing maybe?? Has my timing belt gone...

Ive just had my Clio lowered 40mm on Apex springs, however it looks and drives exactly as it did before! The guy at the garage said itll take a week for the suspension to settle down, Ive never heard anyone mention a settling in period for lowering springs, is this correct or is my car going to...

Just got my new Scorpion Boxer s/s cat-back system fitted and my god - its loud! Makes my 1.2 sound like a flippin rally car, it roars on the over-run and gargles and pops at low revs. Unbelievably nice exhaust it is too, the fit was spot on and it looks the business. I seem to remember someone...

Anyone got any experience of Powerflows stainless systems? I was down chatting to my local custom shop and they said they could build me a custom stainless dual exit (one 4" pipe each side of the car) Powerflow exhaust on the car for £320. Are these good exhausts and is this a good price...

Does anyone know the approximate weight of a typical aftermarket backbox?? Is it likely to be under 25Kg? Just that Im hopefully buying a Scorpion one for £35 if I can get it posted cheaply enough. Also, how easy is it to fit a backbox for a novice? Im hoping to do it myself and Ive heard its a...

hell do you get them off a 2001 Clio to fit a replacement?? Ive seen cars like mine with aftermarket knobs fitted, but Ive been trying for months and its stuck fast! Im scared to use a heavy mechanical device of any nature to shift it cos the whole damn gearknobs pretty flimsy! Anyone had any...

Does anyone know what kind of springs I would need to lower my 2001 Clio 1.2 16v Sport? In every advert Ive seen, they have three different springs for the 8v 1.2-1.4 cars, 1.6 16v and 172, but I dont know which of these is right for my 1.2 16v. Ive found similar problems with exhausts... theres...
