I have Gaz coilovers and they seem to be very bouncy. If i hit a small bump, the car seems to rebound and feels like its jumping up at the front. Accelerating out of a corner is especially bad, if it hits a slight bump thats it we're bouncing down the road struggling for traction. Am i missing...

Does different colour smoke mean different things? White/black/blue? Puffs out white smoke when i start it in the morning and puffs out black/blue smoke between high rev gear changes? piston rings? Im not too sure tbh. Gets driven hard most places, but well looked after(warmed up and down...

One thing ive learnt is never by a new car, without selling the old one first. Since the Cup arrived a once very loved Valver has been sat on my drive for nearly 9 months, filling up with water and molding. Ive been telling myself week after week, "this weekend ill do her up to sell" but...

Fired up my valver for the first time in a 5 months. Beside 3 inch deep water sat in the footwells, mould growing on the dash, seat belts and everywhere, stench of mouldy water, theres this horrible noise coming from the engine. It sounds like its coming from the top of the head, a...

i love bass and good sounding stereos, so i ordered Alpine 9815rb but cannot justify fitting a sub in my cup. Who knows which are the best comps for bass. Looking to replace front mid and tweeter and rear speakers. What should i look for? Also i gather amping the speakers would help..what else...

Im not sure if thats how you pronounce it. o-bi-sound. lol. Anyway does anyone have any information on these exhausts? Ive heard about them but cant find them on the net anywhere. Anybody? Cheers.

Cant stop laughing about this one. A young Lad goes into a Mitsu showroom and asked to sit in the Evo 8. He then asks if he can start the car and they oblige, which to me is a bit weird, letting him start the car in the showroom. anyways the kid started revving the tits off the dam thing, and...

Im new to all this warrenty stuff, used to paying loads of money every month on my 16v. Now its all free (well sort of) i dont want to mess it up. So what can i get away with? Not looking to do too many mods, just a couple. Suspension maybe, R-Sport ecu (know thats ok), tints and thats it. oh...

Just came back from Lunch with the Lads at work, to find a Iceburg Clio Cup sat outside my work. Accompanied by my local Renault Salesman. Ive always wanted one of these and my Boss knew this, and when we both saw it he wound me up for ages. The salesman was in on it too, telling me he was...

Ahh after eventually getting round to zymoln the car i took some pictures as promised. My broadband connection went down for a few weeks and really couldnt be arsed to wait for 56k to upload. But nevertheless here they finally are, enjoy...

Kinda gettin used to problems with the car now. Only 2 weeks before she goes and i think from experience the fuelin is playin up. When i was going down the motorway, bearly touchin the throttle, just enough to keep her going, it felt like the engine was breaking(as in stopping) or as if i was...

Im in debate over the Iceburg and Mondial colours. Well at the moment Iceburg is winning. Whos got some pictures of POLISHED Iceburg and Mondial plzzz. Post em up and elp me out. Cheers Mark.

On the standard air box for the Valver where does the air feed go? Was having a look and it seems to go to the back of the bumper. But from what i can make out there seems to be a black cover on the end of the pipe. Is this correct? Can i take it out? Will it make much difference? Dont want a...

Honda seem to be following the clio and bringing out a new Civic according(yeh bad joke i know) to the salesman in the local Honda Garage. The Integra(which is not coming over here) has the same engine as the Type r, however produces 30 more Bhp. Honda actually de-tuned the Civics engine when...

Can anyone tell me where i can get one of these? for the 65bhp model? Cheers in advance. BTW i dont think the matey who was selling in them in the For Sale forum has got any left!

Does anyone know of any good body styling companies in the Barkshire area? Reading, Slough...anywhere in the South East really. Looking to get a few bits smoothed out and resprayed. Cheers.

...Yep, another problem. On my way home from work i went over a speed bump at low speed and i heard a clunk. Then the dashboard started rattling loads when the engine reved. And generaly made a horrible noise. Pulled over and had a look, the metal bracket underneath the battery was very loose...

Not in the mood to spend loadsa money...Perhaps just a new set of pads... Which do you boys and girls use? Which have you found the best.

YehYeh i know, why were u racing a colt? Whats the point? They are slow blahblahblah. Heres what happend anyway. Driving through Bracknell and some Burberry capped holagans came flyin up my ass whilst approaching a roundabout. I took the left hand lane as they took the right, Out onto the...

Was driving through Slough yesterday when i came to some lights. infront of me was a Red CTR, who was on the line next to an old XR2. They kept glancing over at each other, tryin to catch each others attention, then the lights went amber. The XR" instantly sprung into action...

Just having a laugh on the CTR site, and wondered could this actually be true? As I was coming out to rejoin the A40 a Focus RS (Reg L?52) comes whizzing past beeping at me. I thought..hmm...this FRS is probably well run in by now whereas my CTR only has 1200 miles on the clock...should I...
