    "Clio Tax"

    This got touched on in burpspeeds thread, but got derailed. It's still bugging me though so want to know what other people think Why do all Clio parts seem to have a "Clio Tax" added on? Are people just happier paying more for the same stuff?? I made a little comparison list between a Clio...

    80gb iPod

    Selling my old 80gb iPod Used to have this in my car linked to my headunit but use my iPhone now over bluetooth so thought I'd sell it It's awesome if your headunit has iPod control as it has a huge 80gb and you can put your entire iTunes library on it. Can also watch videos from it if you have...

    LSD - talk to me

    My biggest priority for winter is to get a diff in the car. Current thoughts are quaiffe as I do still want to occasionally use it on the road (ring trip especially) and the gripper might be a bit harsh. But I have also been looking at mfactory diffs as they seem to be popular with the jap lads...

    New injectors? Worth it?

    I've been having a weird missfire on the Clio for a while now - holding the throttle at a steady 50/60 it sort of "coughs" every so often like it's missing Now when I fitted the ITB's I fitted them with the fuel rail and injectors from the 182 as it was lower mileage - but one of the...

    Wheel alignment - string method

    I want to play around with some different toe/camber settings this year - and really don't want to pay £60 each time to have the local garage monkeys do it After watching a load of BTCC teams use the string method I've decided to have a go I understand the concept - fishing line between 2...

    Play in inner tie rods?

    So a few times garages have mentioned play in the steering rack/inner tie rod joints on my Cup Now it's all apart on the bench I've put the inner tie rods in the vice and tried moving them, one has maybe a little tiny nock you can just feel but no visual movement, other has no nock at all and...

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    I got an MOT advisory on the track car for slight play on inner tie rod. Kinda expected as they have done 118k I could get them both replaced at BTM same time as I get cambelt done (end of summer) but I had a thought Looking through BIGASH's build thread I really want to swap my PAS rack...

    Real world cost of boost

    There's a lot of things going through my head at the moment with the Clio... I won't bore you all to death with it.. but one of them is to sell the bodies (and omex if needed), buy a spare low mileage engine and build up a turbo'd lump. Roughly (and I know this is an how long is a piece of...

    Cambelt advice

    Right, I've found the invoice for the last cam-belt my Clio had - it was while Sir_Dave had it at 62,353 in July 2008 The car has now done a little over 117k - so it's done around 55k but is 4.5 years old I believe the interval is 5 years or 72k - so it's not due on the mileage but it is...

    Why do so many people on here not rate the Clio?

    This is a genuine question, I'm not s**t stirring or trying to start a war.. Coming from 106owners people on there will defend 106's to the death, they destroy everything on track blah blah etc.. SaxP is the same and so is every other car forum I've dealt with, full of people passionate...

    Omex 600 + Bigger Injectors

    My car recently has started "coughing" when driving around mid-throttle - I notice when it does it the Wideband gauge goes really lean - so I'm thinking one of my injectors is cutting out occasionally There's a possibility it could be the omex wiring loom as it's shite - but the injectors are...
