Just thought I would share this with you guys, been debating if to do this for a long time and trying to decide on the colour, in the end I settled for blue but think I may end up changing it to green, half way through the conversion with the dials done and the climate control, so far its been...

Was parked up on the B6277 today

As above, saw a clean blue V6 catch up behind me in Windermere looked good on the road and the Mrs liked it too

Hello all, A while ago I sold some old car parts on eBay at the start of august, everything was fine until around the last friday, when the buyer of an exhaust system started a "non received" case against me, immediately the selling price of £300 was taken from my paypal so I couldn't access...

Basically what happens? Im off somewhere where 98 is miles away, can running a tank or 2 of 95 do any damage or will it just run s**t

Ill probably get stick for this but anyway.. I have recently been trying to get my car to pop and bang or see if it is possible anyway and it just doesn’t!, I know obviously I could get an RS tuner and the overrun map but surely it’s possible to do it without this right? Ive only heard it pop a...

Okay so last week I bought myself a nice second hand exhaust system for £90, was quite happy with it and after some troubles getting it on I finally managed it! Upon the first couple of runs I was relatively happy, and after a longer 70mile run I was even happier as it pops when letting off the...

Morning, I have got myself a decat system and want to get ready to fit it, the only problem is I cannot seem to get the cat off the manifold! the bolts and nuts are in a fairly good condition, the problem is if I am loosing the nut the bolt spins and I cant stop is as i cannot reach it! also...

Been playing with a cutter at work and did a couple of stickers playing about ;) Think I might try some Monster stickers next or maybe something else not sure what! any suggestions?

Right, so I have taken the plunge I bought myself a 4-2-1 manifold and a decat pipe, which hopefully will fit onto my current system (uses a pipe like the Ktec link for the decat). I however probably should have read the fitting instructions first as I didn't realise you needed to drop the...

Just looking about and saw this kit, seems alot of gain for £1600 and runnable on standard internals (so it says) am I missing something obvious? http://www.laurent-motors.com/en/turbo-kit/60-kit-turbo-f4r-20l-16s-stage-1-2-et-3.html

Seen this twice now on the same stretch of road heading towards cottingham from the humber bridge, looks smart, anyone off here?

passed it a few times and seen it refilling at the renault garage in howden, looks very clean! makes me jealous! didnt see a RS sticker, wonder if its anyone off here?

first bit is a bit boring with everyone coming in but it gets a bit better, there is V6 at 3.30, will be someone on here no doubt

So my contract is up for renewal and I'm split between these 2 phones, I currently have the Sony Xperia Arc S and it's been great so leaning towards the Sony.. But maybe it's time to try something new? Just can't make my mind up, any of you lot in the same boat, spent ages comparing spec but...

Recently I have noticed that the car struggles really bad at 1200 - 1500rpm and 2000ish rpm, there is a loss of power and juddering really bad, passed this point it drives perfectly. the harder the right foot the worse the problem. took the air filter out in case that was causing any troubles...

I am looking at getting myself some new tyres all round and have seen these http://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s94p111617/Uniroyal_Tyres_Car_Uniroyal_RainSport3_Uniroyal_Rain_Sport_3_-_195_45_R16_84V_XL_FR_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_A_NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_72dB anyone ever tried them? quite...

Has anyone done this to a clio? what does it look like? I want to try do it myself, does anyone know how easy it is? I have seen kits including the spray gun that appeal but don't know if to take the plunge or if it will be something that will end up in storage gathering dust. I like the idea...

Morning, Today I plan to plug both mine and my wife’s Clio into a diagnostic device later today to check everything is running okay, however the software I am using isn’t by Renault and doesn’t give me the tolerances on the sensors. is there any information out there stating what the sensors...

can the below be beaten? I am considering having the work done to ensure a healthy engine.. out of interest how much are new engines?

Yesterday I purchased a 2003 Silver Clio 172 for a smallish sum of £1100. This will be my daily driving car and will replace my current 2008 Clio 1.2 I know the car is not in pristine condition but I believed the price reflected this.. It has 86,000 on the clock, 5 previous owners but has a...

Morning all, Just had a crack at self window tinting (with film this time, not spray like last time :P) the film has gone on quite well, the only problem im having, as i presume most would is that I cant for the life of me get the last little air bubbles out! I can get them too the edge but...

I am looking to upgrade the engine in my 1.2, ideally to a 2.0l are the old 172/182's able to be dropped in? I could just sell up and get a RS, but what would be the fun in that :)

If anyone reads my progress posts they will know that I have just resprayed my wheels, however I think I may have a problem... when I got the wheels they came with little plastic bits that fitted in the centre of the wheel and this fitted it to the hub, I have lost these (I think they have...

Morning all, as of yesterday when locking my door, on the second press of the key fob there is a loud mechanical buzzing like a motor trying to lock but hittin metal, the doors lock fine so I dont know whats up, it doesnt do it when the door is open unless the lock is pushed. its only on the...

Good morning!, of the top of your heads does anyone know what parts are compatible between the clio models, im talking body parts lights fittings ect, engines and parts, suspension components? I figure it may be of use for others knowing too! it means I can broaden my searches when looking...

I have an exhaust which I wish to try and fit to the clio, its universal so i am sure it will be relatively okay, I have had the exhaust fitted to 3 other cars and never had any major issues. however this clio.. I cannot figure out how the backbox comes off? as far as i can see the pipe is all...

I have myself a 1.2 Extreme 16v, then they later released the Turbo version featuring an extra 25bhp but still a 1.2, my thought was is it possible to get hold of a Turbo and fit it to my standard 1.2? Im stuck with the car at the moment so selling isnt an option but I do miss the power. If...

Well I thought I would finally start myself a progress blog as a few have been saying I should. Progress aint going to be fast by any means, nor will it be that interesting to be honest as I am getting married next weekend and I am a little financially crippled. Just to summerise: Done so...

After fitting my rear subs and amp its got me thinking about what else i can do. My front speakers are standard and I was wondering what a decent upgrade for the front would be, in addition can you get front amps? wouldnt they be alot of bulk in the front? I also want to get some sound...
