Asking on behalf of a friend as tonight we got stranded in not particulary the nicest of areas as his car broke down on our way into town
The best way to describe it would be that we were driving along, all seemed fine and then there was a loud knocking noise and a huge loss in power
At this...
Recently purchased the strut brace below, however due to not fitting it for a few weeks it became pretty scratched and damaged, as i beleive the paintwork was pretty thin

Im in the process of searching around looking for the best deals on a set of coilovers. Think i might go for the V maxx ones and im aware theres a group buy availiable on these.

Just a couple of pics to show how much difference xenons make the front end of a clio, these were taking a few weeks ago but i never got round to posting them up.

i vow never to buy a renault again, or leave my handbrake on
Went to go out in the car this morning for the first time in the last few days as the weather has been sh*t as ive tried to avoid driving all together in it, and my car wont move. It seems that the back left wheel is locked on, now sometimes when it was a cold night there would be a bit of...

My new k tec cat back system arrived today, for a 1.2 and i began fitting it today when i realised i couldnt get the old exhaust off, as its a one piece from the cat back? i rang k tec and they told me to saw it! but if possible i really wouldnt like to do this, anyone know how to get the off...
Im a keen car detailist, spend alot of time 'detailing' my own car, my parents cars and a few people from the village. I am now looking to build on my skills of detailing by completing car valeting courses and offering it to others, taking a more proffessional approach and offering a wider range...
Cant understand a word said but a pretty epic chase, look for the innocent man that runs from his car and gets chased
Feel free to post equally or more impressive car chases...
what i mean is i had all my wings, skirts front and rear bumper sprayed by a proffessional company so i got a top quality job, however when walking to my car, it was dark and raining i noticed that the recently sprayed parts were slightly off, only noticeable in the dark. Now i thought this...
