Came out a bad picture this but lol good luck in the drag race buddy.. DSC_0685 by MorrisonGeorge, on Flickr My wee Clio was doing well right up till the point i got humped by a GTR :/ It still did me proud :)

went out and swapped the belt on the idler pull so its going over and seams to have solved the problem, i will get a new tensioner in the near future, cheers for the reply guys :)

Ahhh theres my issue right there, put the belt on the wrong side of the idler, unfortunately the old belt shredded so wasnt able to tell how it comes off. Found a thread on here that has a picture of the drive belt, just want to verify its the correct route...

Cheers for the reply guys, finally managed to find a picture of a clio ph1 with the idea im thinking of doing, want to make sure its do-able without to much hassle as id hate to mess it up.

Was considering buying a set of duel optic ph1 headlights, splitting them and painting the chrome inners to black, anyone done this and how easy is it to do?, does it effect the light quality atall? Cheers

Yea that's pretty much what happens. It's orite if I'm sitting still and I rev it. But saying that while I was stripping it down to do the drive belt I found out the engine mount on the drivers side is in two bits. But feels more serious. Tho I'll try replacing that and see what happens. Cheers...

Cheers, the bumper will be getting looked at after i get the mechanical side of things sorted, might be easier to replace the bumper/wing as someones been at it with self tappers :S

Yea it is clean enough looking wise apart from the bumper ofcourse, but hoping to get it fixed in the near future as its really the only cosmetic flaw in the car :)

Yea that picture was before i owned it, i had noticed that its had a slight nudge on the front drivers side but its nothing major

In the case i could very well be tempted, better get the finger out and get some new parts! :)
