I hear through the magical grape vine that was Mark Fish when i payed him a visit last week they could help smooth out my flat spot at 2500rpm???...and imrove overall acceleration smoothness??
Only £50 odd, so even if they slightly make a difference ill prob splash out!
Oh...
I know, im sorry, but i need your help.
Another 100 miles and im there. Gonna get a quote or two from local renault dealers, but in the mean time wheres the best place both price and quality wise to go. obviously local to Bedfordshire-ish is better. but im willing to travel to get it cheaper...
Bought an ipod/aux lead for my cabasse system. Came with some very helpful instructions however i came to a holt!
Basically, after finding the amp under my seat and removing plastics and eventually the big red connector block the instructions show two rows of pins.
The instructions have a row...

Is there anything to buy i can put over them like most car manufacturers started to do 20 years ago, or if not, what can i paint them with???
Wanna get the 'renaultsport' writing on the black parts on each end of my spoiler painted white.
Seen this been done on someones before im sure, and really wanna get mine done.
Whats the way of going about this properly, is it literally a case of buying paint and just having a steady hand?! :S...

Just a quick one... after reading all these 'iv locked my keys inside my car threads', it struck me can this be done with ours? So say the card fell out pocket inside the car, i get out and lock it, will they then be stuck inside? or will it just let you unlock it again because they are...
Had her a month now, and today has been the first chance iv had since to go out and take some real pics.(to the best of my ability anyway). So its filthy and surrounded by snow!
Only future plans i have in mind is maybe an exhaust system of some kind and some lowering really. However, in the...

Anyway, 200 of these miles were here in britain to Dover, in which i saw a 172, 2 182's, and also a...

was just looking for the finishing touch really, all those owners to tell me itis worth binning all the luxuries....

Well, its been a long time coming, but finally its been lowered.
No more driving around 4x4 stylee!
Lowered about 40mm on Eibach pros and 5mm spacers on the rear.
Nothing too low, but i notice the difference in both cosmetic and handling side of things! :approve:
Before:
And...
having just ordered Eibach sportlines ready for next week, i have 3 things left to attent to:-
1, a new front splitter as my standard crappy thing is all bent and mangled as i hit a breeze block that someone nicely placed in the road. not too fussed on it so cheaper is better. any...
im just about to order some 35mm lowering springs from k-tec.
i have 182 wheels on my 1.2. if i have just one person in the back now with standard suspension i get a rubbing/grinding from the rear turning round bends.
will this causemajor problems if i lower it?!?! or is it just the arch...
Getting bored so planning some mods.
Already planning on lowering 40mm, sport side skirts (anyone???), and silvertecs.
Thinking i wanna do something different though. like some of the colour things people got going on on here. Anyone got any suggestions? What you recon to maybe Blue, green...
ok, i have in the next couple of months 3 easy but important mods to make on my car.
1st, lowered. think i will just go for springs cant be assed to pay for a kit, dont think i will have it that long to worry about the shocks. so prob go 35mm just to start.
2nd, silvertec bulbs, just because...
help! went out earlier, as i was reversing off the drive and turning the wheel i heard, and felt quite a hard knocking from the front wheel area. and again as i moved off in first. couldnt make it do it again.
stopped at tescos, did my shop, then returned to my car, reversed out the space and...
Dont know if its anyone on here. traffic lights near the fire station. first time i seen one in the flesh. looked nice, lovely colour, but think it just looks too much like a standard one. not special enough, not the same buzz to look at like mkll's. but thats just me.
oh and if you are on...
