wet

Hi guys and girls, Chris hailing from NI looking forward to reading through the forums and gleaming some much needed knowledge about clio sports, its great to find a site such as this, looks like I am going to be doing a lot of reading over the next few weeks

Myself, AdamAnderton and Rob91 went to Anglesey on Saturday - despite the forecast being fine it p*ssed it down all day long. Needless to say I wont be going back unless its the middle of summer and hopefully dry! Just about a tripod in the rain.. I never managed to string together a...

I discovered how tail happy the Clio is this morning! So I'm looking for advice on the best rain tyre for the Clio (cup). I'd normally just go for conti's but I'm aware you guys will possibly have a better option in mind that suits the Clio better? Thanks Gareth

Hi guys. I have been plagued by a flooded drivers footwell for the last month or so. I found the excellent guide on here about it most likely to be blocked sills or the amount of crud that builds up in the arch liner. Unfortunatly neither of these worked. I then removed the scuttle panel...

Looked clean!

Small (ish) scratches? Where do I start?? cheers in advance!

As well as the Britcar 24 hour race (see other thread). I also did 3 races in the MX5 on the same weekend in the Ma5da Autumn Championship. It was a rock bottom offer but sadly also a rock bottom car but I had fun none the less. One wet race (Race 2) and One Dry(ish) race (Race 3) I joined my...

Hi all, not sure if this is the right section but seems appropriate. Basically, have had abit of a weird smell in the car the past few days, and whilst looking for something for my mum this morning i opened the boot, and rummaged under the foam sheet thing i have keeping it nice and clean...

ok so the old girl is as wet as the titanic inside.....stripped out all the rear carpets as i suspected it was in the rear, but i think its coming in via the bulk head ..So any ideas where to start ....thanks in advance:)

Hi, I have a problem with my Mrs 1.2 16v. When it really chucks it down with rain, I starts to miss. Sat in traffic, the idle falls to almost stalling point. The whole car shakes and sometimes cuts out. Under acceleration, it will jump and lurch like it's cutting in and out. When you put...

Just finishing off my bullets and diamonds now, on the bottle of the lacquer it says to do this before applying it. I usually follow instructions but after reading guides and things on here nobody says to do it! So basically i was just wondering if i can get away without doing it or will it...

Lately i have been getting wet back seats but it isnt the whole seat its just the bottom bench at the back all the way along where the seat belts plug in, and the top bench at the bottom and under the eeat there is sometimes water just laying there but i cant see where it is coming in Can...

Realised there was a big pool of water under my car, checked the coolant and it was well under minimum. Had only checked it 5 days previous and it was fine. Filled it back up and bunged some radweld in, which seems to have stopped the leaking, however when the car is stood and gets hot, steam...

I'm currently in the process of spraying my Cup spoiler, I've applied the first basecoat today, but I was just wondering if I should wet sand between each coat to keep it smooth? With it being metallic will this not take away the flake? I could just do the basecoat, then laquer and wet sand...

I know this should go in the wanted section on the market place but i will get more of a responce in here. I want some sheets of 1200, 1500, 2000 and possibly 3000 grit wet and dry. Can anyone get these as my local halfrauds and motor bits places only have a maximum of 1000grit wet and dry.

was £99.99, got myne last night, they had about 20. tried it out earlier, very good imo. http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-7015.aspx

Ever since i got my car the thing has suffered from leaking sunroof, and ive tried numerous things to no avail, i.e silicone + gaffa tape. last night got fed up with it, and took the hole frame out, and rebuilt it putting silicone underneath the frame. and last night it chucked it down no...

Just uploaded some incar footage from the weekend on one of the wet sessions I did.....its in 2 parts.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CXEvlSDfls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkYzfBgXL7E Other cars in the video include... White Escort Mk1 Rover V8 - twice, he got lapped...!! Honda Accord...

2 o clock ish maybe. Seen the Cliosport sticker so I purposely parked 2 up from you at the services! Went in.... grabbed some food..came out and you were still there :o

When its been raining, my car seems to have absolutely no grip when going round corners... Im currently rolling on Toyo Proxes with plenty of tread left so its not like they're budgets or bald. Are them tyres just s**t in the wet? In my 1.2 I had Continental Tyres all round and it took corners...

looking for a little advice please, my car is ridiculously tail happy in the rain, i know that having no rear interior doesnt help. Ive got the Koni Suspension adjusted to the stiffest setting and have 2 degrees negative camber. If i soften the dampers up, will this give me more grip on the...

Some lovely pics taken of my own 182 on track @ Bedford by the good chaps at trackphoto.com - the images are defineatly worth the money spent! Just sums up how at home the little RS's look on track for me (especially when pictured through a lens worth more than the car!) Click enlarge to get the...

I wana wet sand the defcts of my headlights any tips and what not to do etc Iv got a pc and was gona use megs 203s to polish out Thanx

Pick the Ph1 up on Saturday, couldn't help having a wee blast today tho. Couple of fresh pics (s**tey mobile pics): Cant wait to get started on it :D

I suspect that this is a fairly common fault but the passenger side front corner of the headlining in my ph2 Dynamique was soaking wet when I got into it tonight. I had an inkling that it was the sunroof but the lining round about that was fine, and the wetness is only above the passenger door...

Currently using R222 Carnauba Wax but I find it's not 'wet look' enough, and does not last very long. Any recommendations for a black 172 wax wise? Usual routine is Megs Gold Class -> AG SRP -> AG Ultra Deep Shine -> AG EGP or Poorboys sealant -> R222 wax. Cheers!

Having a clean up of my 172 and found alot of water under the rear seats, alarm bells started ring but boot carpet is perfectly dry, so in my mind rulls out rear clusters etc any ideas ?

Going to de-swirl my car for the first time (gulp) and I am after for the best wax and sealant to give my Dark Blue a nice deep wet finish. Any suggestions? Currently use autoglym polish, autoglym sealant, and megiuars nxt spray detailer.

Hi, does anyone have a vax that they could borrow me or they can come and do the interior for some cash if you don't want to borrow out. I just need to get one car completely gutted inside. Also if anyone wants rid let me know as I could be in the Market for one. Thanks for any help. David.

i have come across a strange noise today, sounds like its from top struts? as title like wet rubber on metal when i hit bigger bumps? i heard it a couple of times since owning the car but now its when i hit a fair bump in the road. can apex springs break? car still sits level? please can someone...
