Hello all, I fitted a nice little setup in my car, two home built sub enclosures and a nice acoustic box for some 6x9s. (fitted behind some race seats to level out the stripped out back) They all have there own amps individually wired up. The amps come from the head unit, the two subs off the...

Just to warn you there is a temporary speed camera on the University roundabout, well just off it actually, going down to town. If your comming the other way you cant see it because its parked behind a big sign. I think I was doing about 33 in a 30 as I always accelerate off a roundabout...

Hello I hope someone is reading this. Anyway, my final year project is on car modifications, well in particular 3D representations of visual mods, where users get to pick what they want and have it displayed on a 3d car. I am writing about all types of mods and I am writing it up now and...

Hello, Spotted a new 182 on friday afternoon driving out of Lincoln, but it didnt have any reg plates, on either the back or the front. Well actually thats a lie, it had blue ones saying "clio" in fancy writing. No delivery plates in the windows or anything. Is that legal? Paul

Hello, I just got two new vibe subs but they need 1.25cf boxes to work properly. Was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get two relativly cheap? I would prefer non carpeted so I could carpet in the same colour carpet as I have put in my boot. Everywhere I have seen so far want to...

I have posted this twice, once in the exterior, performance... section but felt it migth be better in here. Sorry for that admin. Hi I have just my car repaired as there was a problem with valve four and the heater. Anyway, before it was fixed the engine temp at normal driving sat just...

Hi I have just my car repaired as there was a problem with valve four and the heater. Anyway, before it was fixed the engine temp at normal driving sat just under the first major bar about halfway up the gauge. You know you have that blank bit at the start then the little lines start then...

Just wondered if its possible to swap the position of the head unit and the heater controls in a mk1 clio. Its just I think the head unit is in a stupid place to say I use its controlls quite a lot. But I hardly ever alter my heater, so just wondered if they could be swapped over with little or...

Hello can anyone who owns a MK 1 phase 1 RT please tell me whats supposed to be done on a service at about 60k miles? Can you also tell me whats the one before it aswell? Is it a major service etc? I have left my service book down at uni, or my mum has lost it, whichever is more likely. Paul

Hello, Not sure if this is supposed to be here, but I didnt think "Media" was correct either. Anyway, I am in my final year at uni and plan on making a modifications website where you view the mods in 3D on your car. As its only a prototype system its going to be just a clio. I thought I would...

Well firstly let me just say hi to everyone again, since starting back at Uni the net has been just a distant memory. Now with many an argument with the people who own the house I live in we are now getting NTL. Infact its fitted tomorow. So I type this here from uni because as of tomorrow I...

Ok, whats the difference apart from one having more injectors than the other? I would imagine multipoint is quicker, but is it? And is it possible to multipoint a singlepoint engine? Paul

This girl at work came up to me today and said they she had spent £91 + loose change on something called an injection kit for her bf. She ordered it from halfords. But I have never heared of it. I asked her about it and she said it increases fuel flow and air flow and filtered the fuel making it...

I am selling mine on ebay and a few people are asking for colour. I have grey ones, so if anyone has a picture of them I would be gratefull. Paul

Just been to the mini in the park show with my mates. There was a rolling road there. All the cars where comming out with figures at roughly what people where expecting. And then there was something to get worried about. One of the VTEC minis came up. It was only the 1.6 16v VETEC and not the...

Any ideas? Paul

As the title suggests? Paul

Hello folks Well a few days before I did my airbox "conversion" I decided for no apparant reason to put the car upto the rev limeter in 2nd gear I think, but it might have been 3rd. I only did it once and it only lasted a second or two before I dipped the clutch and changed to a higher gear...

Hi, I am going to be "modding" my airbox today, or at least getting the parts for it. I was wondering, as I am going to replacing the air feeds into it with cold air ones, and making my own air ducts to suck the air into the engine bay (not going for bonnet scoops, I am putting stuff behind...

Hi Jas, there appears to be a big security hole in XP and NT. Its causing a few sleepless nights for quite a few people because its a big hole. Now it appears that there is about to be a barrage of hackers and viruss released that will exploit this hole. Basically it enables hackers and viruss...

Hello all, I decided a few months back to lower the car. And now with all the variouse unplanned expenses out the way I can just about afford it. I want a 40mm drop, but searching around I cant find a good make that does it. They are all 35 or 45 or 50. I am looking for a kit (shocks and...

I know its slightly off topic. My girl friend ownes a Skoda Favorit, bless her little cotten socks. Anyway her fanbelt is a bit duff and needs replaceing. Now I have never had to replace one of these but you hear people using old tights for temporary fixes, so I thought it shouldnt be that...

Thats the good name of the clio, not cliosport. I was at work the other day when a thief snatched a womans hand bag and drove off in a red clio! The b*****d! Paul

I have noticed everytime I switch off my ignition, if the stereo is still playing i get a pop and crackle out of the amped speakers (but not the un amped ones). Not really a problem, but the thing that is annoying is that I get a whining noise thats in tune with my engine. If I rev it whirs...

Is water vapour or small drops of water bad for your car or induction kit if they are getting sucked into it? I know the filter is there to stop crap, but eventually water might get through. How bad is it? And Is wet air better than dry air? ie dry air tends to be hotter. I was just...

A calibra with e green induction kit. Now thats not all that impressive in itself. BUT The darn thing was hanging out of the fog light hole. Seen it twice now and its been there both times. So I assume its meant to be. Looks stupid but I bet it gets a good dose of cold air. Paul

If you do, can you tell me if you have 3 point harness where you put the harness points? Also the main point, has anyone got any pics, or knows where I can find information, on subframes for bucket seats. Universal or tailor made. Cheers Paul
