welcome mate. nice to see a local lad on here

 

[jack89]

Waay.. Theres local people!! I spend a lot of time in harrogate as i work there, do you go to any of the local meets if there is any?

Welcome.

Quick tip - don't bother trying to make a 1.2 faster. It's like rearranging the cutlery on the Titanic. Suspension is popular, but I'd get a good set of tyres first.

Out of interest, is it a Phase 1 or 2 clio?

Have fun

 

[jack89]

I do believe its a phase one... Its a 1999 on a 'v' plate.. I like the handling already but there is room for improvement so i think that will be first.. Then maybe just help it breath a bit better

[jack89]

[McGherkin]

The connection diagram in that guide is a bit confusing. Use this pic: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads14/hellawiring1230742469.jpg

That's about it.

hi there i often put posts up requesting other users that may live in the area but sadly never any response received. i often just go out for blasts on our mega rural retreats for example up round the sun inn and beyond pateley bridge. will have to meet up sometime when the sun is shinning.
