glad all are positive comments. im really please with the car and is such an improvement from the clio 1.2. for a 1.2 it seems a lot faster than he clio for starters, maybe because its a newer engine?

unfortunately the Clio died last year and after a discussion with a mechanic mate he advised me that it would cost in the excess of £1500 to fix. As annoying as it was because of the time and effort i had put in to the car i decided to get rid of it and buy a mk7 Fiesta. let me know what you...

iv been after one of these corners for ages now. where did you get it?

Planned to detail next weekend. ill give this product a go please

16's

they are a lower profile yes, ill check the pressures later thanks

hi guys if you follow my project thread you will see that iv fitted a new set of turinis. For some reason the handling of the car has dropped. when i break it seems to pull to the left a bit, if i hit an uneven road it seems to want to pull in different directions any clues?

yeah it would be nice to get one, just cant justify the cost to myself at the moment! (ill find a way lol) that would be brilliant to build something like that, iv thought about a capri before but couldnt find any good insurance for it

iv been looking into a 3 series but this car is so cheap to run in aspect! its a hard decision

lol, you after a set? im on the look out for a spare at the moment lol!

cheers! really want to put the 172 body kit on now!

UPDATE Iv done a few little bits to the car recently nothing worthy of an update just bulbs, new bumper strip, etc I gave it a quick wash yesterday, take a look at the pic and see the progress so far

Yep asking as you have all the correct tools and follow the video step by step you will be fine. It's made a huge difference to. Much more of a fun smooth drive now. No juddering along at traffic lights etc. while you are in there you may as we'll give the crank shaft sensor a clean as well...

yeah very true see if you can pick one up from one of the guys breaking theirs on here. iv become unsure about lowering it to be fair, the ride is pretty rough at the moment i dont think i want to make it worse. im really happy with the alloys, may need a little refurb at some point but not...

the projects looking good mate. i prefer the badges left as the standard silver/chrome. check my thread out if you like mate iv got the exact same car from the same year let me know what you think, keep it up

haha yeah going to get 40mm springs, it will finish it off nicely

haha cheers mate, im really happy with it. Needs to be lowered though

haha too well im afraid! yeah iv got some fitted. what you think? im going to give it a good detail soon maybe get them refurbed

lol the crank shaft sensor plug actually snapped off from the soldered connector. its really fiddly to be honest but we got there

got it fixed, thanks to the guys who genuinely helped me out, not so much to the moronic know it all types we seem to have on CS forum cheers

Update - ended up making a lot of progress this weekend I picked up the new alloys from GW200 thanks a lot mate they look brilliant. I also gave the throttle body a clean which turned in to a bit of a problem. After getting the manifold and throttle body clean i put it all back together and...

Is there any guide on this where to start?

Ok cool. Should there be a connector on the end of these 2 wires? If so how how do I put them back so it will start again.

Right. Is the green n white wires I am holding in my hand in the picture above with the red bit in the end the crank shaft sensor?

Ok. Thanks guys I need to get this done by Monday morning! Ok ok I need to find out what the issue is so far its not the Immobiliser problem the car turns over perfectly just there is no start What could it be? I only unplugged things relevant to the cleaning guide on the forum.

Ok I'll have a check. Would my photo cause the car not to start?

This is what iv found after reconnecting everything after cleaning the throttle body. I never removed this so I must have pulled out accidentally. Are we talking about the crank shaft sensor here? If so should there be a plug on the end of them two wires?

It's the 2 wires going into the crank shaft plug. Is there any way I can just plug these 2 back into the socket? It's a real struggle to get to it in order to actually put pressure onto the plug to push it in

Ok. What that be a reason for it not starting? wheres the connection ?

Definitely those two wires. Where do they connect to?
