    I've had mine nearly ten years now. I think its been working for almost 5 of those.

    Hope its for the chance of something you want more, rather than you being in a dire situation.

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Its probably your post I've read!

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    The car has been parked in my front garden for a good few months (had a couple of skips on the drive). I've moved it back onto the drive to work on, and I opened the bonnet last night just to check everything was fine. There was a shitload of spiders! Car is now for sale :ROFLMAO: Jokes, its...

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Just to clarify my aux belt plans, this is the setup I'm copying (random pic from the interwebs). If I've not confused myself, I think this turns the water pump backwards but at no detriment to the engine. Unless I'm confusing it with a friends car. Its 18 months since I did all this research...

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Right then, life has got in the way but I'm back, and wanting to get this back on the road. As a reminder, this is what it should look like: Started stripping down again to remove the pump. Can't remember why I took the headlights out, doesn't really give you any more room. Whilst I...

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Well I've not done much, but I've not sold it! Looking a bit sorry for itself. Not really relevant but doesn't she look cool as f**k. Dropping this on Spotify soon. Will dig out the pics I've taken for a proper update!

    Looking to Buy a Mac Mini But...

    I'm tempted. Let me have a figure out how I'm going to sort the money. I'd initially planned finance, but then found a purchases credit card gave better interest (i.e. 0%) so will look into one that'll do cash...

    Looking to Buy a Mac Mini But...

    Currently got a 2012 Mac Mini that's been upgraded but its getting a bit long in the tooth now. I'd decided I was upgrading to the latest Mac Mini when they were £599 with 256gb SSD. Now it seems as though all the £599 ones are NLA and the starting point is the £799 512gb one. Pretty much nobody...

    Exhaust Options

    I'm conflicted now! I definitely don't want it loud, its a track car. If the exhaust hadn't failed I wouldn't be looking. I replaced the backbox and it got through its MOT but its sat for a year or two since then. Its touching underneath somewhere and buzzes your eyes out of the sockets above...

    Annual bump to see if he sees the replies about the group buy. Tried PMing to no avail.

    Welp AC pipe

    I may have one if you're struggling. Well I definitely have one, its whether I broke it removing it or not.

    Got a little 35mm prime which takes lovely shots so could be coming up trumps here!

    I suppose I can put any old shite in the tent as well for props etc can't I?

    Product Photography

    I'm not the biggest fan of using AI for things like that, as I feel its a bit dishonest if I use it for selling something and whoever buys it doesn't receive what they're expecting. Will have a look into photo tents, cheers!

    Product Photography

    I've been making and selling some stuff and want to use better photos to make my gear stand out from the rest. Small stuff, so tabletop based. I've got a Nikon D7200, and a couple of tripods (large and small). What do I need to be looking at to get decent results? If we say "photography" level...

    Genuinely think those wheels are the best looking option for the Clio. Shame about the weight. I think if a set popped up with road tyres in a few months I'd be hard pressed to say no.

    Noisy power steering.

    I've bought a couple of pressure switches off Amazon, I believe they're about £13. From experience though, once they're noisy, they don't quieten down.

    "Road Legal" track car MOT

    Re: Taking bulbs out of warning lights, I'm sure that an initial test is that the light has to illuminate on ignition and then go off, stopping you doing that or putting tape over it etc. I've had a stripped caged Clio for years and the only hassle I got was because the horn was on a push button...

    Daily bucket seat options

    I don't know if I've lucked out with my seat selection or all you are just mard arses. I've got a Corbeau Clubsport XL and its extremely comfortable. It's on a standard sidemount subframe. I've got a Jon Foz subframe to fit but not got round to it. The Clio isn't my daily, BUT I have daily'd it...

    Steering wheel controls

    I can't help you, but Connects2 themselves are pretty helpful. I contacted them regarding a loom for a box I'd bought and they were happy to help. This was around COVID time so not recent, but certainly not in a time where the Clio 2 products were a current item. admin (at) connects2 (dot) com

    Theft deterrents - steering wheel locks, etc.

    I genuinely think the people that are stealing cars either wouldn't know what a Clio 1*2 was, or wouldn't be interested at all. Going back to the "getting woken up by burglars looking for keys" point, a friend of mine used to live in a rough area in an upstairs flat. He would leave his car keys...

    Nurburgring visit - need help!

    If anyone has insurance with Reis, they cancel your policy if they see your vehicle on the ring, whether you make a claim or not. They monitor social media pics apparently. Great company otherwise. My fear with a ring lap is starting off fine, then getting totally overwhelmed and stressed out...

    Manual swapped E61 535D

    I read the advert again, and he's put a Wavetrac diff in it, so defo doing Retail Park D1GP. 6HP is a decent autobox. 8HP is god tier.

    Clio 2 182 BC racing coilover

    ACF50 is good to douse your suspension in to protect it. It's like a wax almost, so it clings to the surface, and it smells delicious.

    Manual swapped E61 535D

    Manual swap something to do with towing? I'm not a pedo so I'm not well versed in caravans etc.

    Clio 182 Turbo

    If you want to mod it, go for it. You can always take the bits off if you're not keen. It's not like you're putting chameleon wrap on the screen and eBay canards on the bumper.

    It looks perfect! Are they 7" wide?

    Titanium MrBlonde

    I'm sure its been covered before and I've forgotten, but are you running spacers on those? They look phenomenal. Are they low offset? 205 wide tyres? Fitment is spot on.
