Yeh it doesnt look bad iv just heard they are really heavy so i wouldnt mind something a bit lighter. The air filter is an open cone and may suffer from heat soak and reduce performance so i think i might go back to standard air box and panel filter
Ah right i remember the silver ST that was a nice motor like. There was a lot of nice cars there. I havnt done anything to it yet i havnt really had the funds lol but when i bought it there was already a magnex cat back fitted and a piper cross induction kit. Not the best mods he could of done...
Yeh that was me mate i just went over cos a couple of mates have mk7 fiestas. Im ashamed of how dirty it is but i blame work lol were u there in a clio i cant remember seeing any others??
Looking nice mate im liking the red on black. I know how you feel mate iv been wanting to lower mine for ages now but im a bit strapped for cash at the minute so gunna have to wait :dapprove: I think ill go for some 40mm apex springs though just as a cheaper option to coilys lol
What is the best type of air filter to use? Iv got a piperX open cone that was already on when i got it but iv been told it soaks up hot air from the engine and decreases performance?
Ah right yeh i think u will of done i usually set off to work around 5 past 7. Im sure i seen u not long ago at the lights outside the roundel. U got a private plate??
Looking very nice mate im definately going to have to invest in a snow foam lance. Personally i like the black wheels and mirrors i wouldnt change it. Could maybe try some carbon wrap on your mirrors rather than black??
The seat belt light wasnt meant to be in the photo i didnt even realise haha my car isnt decatted so im just hoping it isnt the lambda sensor or something like that??
Can anybody tell me what this light could mean? im under the impression its the engine management light? It comes on and goes off intermittantly and the car seems to feel a bit sluggish when the light is on. A local garage said it could be a dodgey oxy sensor but they werent sure.
Cheers Rob
Its a lovely car that like mate i bet u were a bit sad to see it go (even though u upgraded) lol whats the ride like on apex springs? I was thinking about getting some coilovers but if those springs are ok then i might get some with them being a fair bit cheaper. Also where did u get it remapped ??
Im from the North East and just booked my car in for a full service. £220 inc. spark plugs and £150 without. Also had a rear wheel bearing changed last year for £60 parts and labour. I use a Renault specialists called Mendall Motors i couldnt rate them high enough!!
Im from Thornaby too. Seen the RB in there a couple of weeks ago, looked nice but didnt realise it was nackered lol id be up for a meet for pics some time. Theres a lad on here iv got talking to with an inferno from Acklam im sure he would be up for it as well
Yeh i dont usually buy it but i made an exception this time to read about the clio. Ill probably buy it more often theres a lot of good stuff to read in it.
Seen you in and around Thornaby quite a few times now usually near the town centre just wondering if its anyone off here? Very nice car though love the V6's.
