Not driven in the rain? GHEY!! Thats when you have the most fun. But dont do what I did lol.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

You got that too cheap mate!! Thought I recognised the plate though.

My car always looks good after a hand polish/wax Heck I've even taken to using this stuff www.go-waterless.co.uk takes about 20 mins to do the whole car and leaves it utterly spotless. And NO it doesnt scratch the paint.

I doubt that a) any one makes a direct fit supercharger for a Clio, b) the standard fueling system wouldn't have a hope in hells chance of dealing with positive boost pressure, c) finding space to one would be an issue. PS those lecky S/C's actually caused a power loss when tested on an MR2...

Although I knew it wasnt a personal computer I always wondered what PC stood for. Now I know. Although what is a Porta Cable?

WTF would you use a PC to clean a car for? Do you go online and ask for tips or something?

£15k!!!!!! Sorry but no matter how much you love valvers thats just plain daft!!

I let it go cheap based on the fact it didnt start but it did and ran pretty much ok - whoops. Never mind - Mikes a mate and even though some late higher bids came in I kept to our agreement. I reckon a t-cut, refit the bump strips and new grill/boot strip and it'll look spotless again...

Motor factor shops nearly always offer exchange calipers. Some places even sell DIY caliper refurb kits.

Yeah I think it's the whole lot actually. Thought it was just a belt change. Andy - what would you charge? It's my old Valver!

Any one know any where in London (preferably north) that can do a cambelt change for a fair price. Asking for a mate who's been quoted £280 which I think is extortion.

Also an Rsport or group N ecu is car specific so at least it's built specifically for a certain make and model.

At least it's an actual ECU though and not something that plugs into the ecu and tampers with it (crudely and badly)

A chip cant control things like ignition timing or give you more fuel where you need it in the rev range at specific critical points. Finely mapping a car to get the best results is a car to car basis. You HAVE to have the car on the road or the rollers plugged into a computer to see exactly...

Well not being a Clio driver and only really enjoy talking about p**n I tend to not post here too much any more. I have other places for that :) Seeing as I'm not a paid member any more I cant even post in other marques either lol.

But the valver has finally gone - to a pretty well known CS member. Ended up just taking £500 for it with no tax or mot but tbh after not being used for 2 years, a tank of petrol and a good run it was purring again. Didnt even change the oil! It's prob worth alot more than that but I have...

Water causes all sorts of problems and intermitted faults. It's when it gets into light clusters that it gets funny!

Sounds like he's just got water in the electrics. Let it dry out for a while and try again before panicing too much. Did he hose down the engine bay?

Will it not leave lots of crap in there though if it's gone lumpy ? I've forgotten where the filter is lol - is it easy to get too/off ? IIRC doesnt the sump plug need a funn square tool type thing to get it off?

Oils prob a bit yukky, sounded like the tappets were sticking a bit. Shall I just use an engine flush then fill it back up? Never done this before so can some one reccomend a good product and let me know whats involved?

So you getting an SMT fitted? Much better idea than some chip that fits on the motherboard :)

If you want the best you'd go for proper ECU upgrades. Piggy backs like the Unichip or Andy's SMT's are good. Standalone for the best and widest range of tuning. Plug and play chips aren't all that hence why you hardly see any one with them any more. I'm sure Andy will tell you the...

Hello, long time no speak!! I need to replace the wheel barings on the rear passenger side of the valver. How much do they cost and what type are they - IE are they the ones that need a press to fit them??

Well the door cards don't.

I just can't be arsed to fcuk about all day getting them off. Why Renault had to glue the buggers on is way beyond me.

It's a 1997 - mk1 pase 3, I know my Clio's! I'm positive it's a billabong but to the point - even though it has no door speakers and blank door cards are the mounting points still on the doors behind. IE can I cut the door card or get replacements and still screw speakers into the doors.

My mates mrs has a ph3 mk1 Billabong and wants to uprate all the speakers. But it only has them in the dash??? If I take her door cards off, will the mountings still be there for speakers? IE the same as a normal mk1 Clio door speaker mountings.

Ok, f**k me they are quick at top end. I admit, I had NOTHING against it in that range. Once my boost drops off around 5k it ate me for breakky. New turbo comes soon though that can hold boost :) If your a member, your a very "adventurous" driver too.

Just sounds like something Jonathon Woss wud say.
