Just had my 'check airbag' warning light pop up on the dash for no apparent reason other than I gave my niece and nephew and sister a lift home earlier. The kids are 3 and 7 and were messing around abit in the back, when I dropped them off I noticed the check airbag thing had popped up and now...

as title may suggest: I'm at a bit of a crossroads in terms of my car. I've got the chance to snap up a pretty mint 02 plate DC5 in championship white with 64k on the clock with optional C pack. I had my heart set on a 'teg before I saw my current LY 197 f1 come up for sale (also someone...

Clean looking blue 182, saw you going past on the dual carriageway looked like you were heading to caerphilly/llanbradach way with your arm flailing in the wind lol was going to flash but didn't spot you until you were right next to me on the otherside of the road Then 20 seconds later saw a...

Never really see anyone with aftermarket wheels on the 197/200's just wondering if anyone has done it - and what they've changed too (pic as well if you have it!). Its been something I've thought about since owning the car but unsure what would look good. I always quite liked the look of alloys...

looking at options to get the car mapped and seeing as a local tuner isn't really an option unless I fancy a nice 3hr + drive then I thought I'd explore the rs tuner route. Curious to know the total cost of the kit, plus the map (+ any additional costs?). Also clueless of where to get the maps...

heading toward caerphilly from ystrad on the bypass about half 12/1 oclock (afternoon). Personal licence plate, 6 characters thing it started R13 or something 13. Saw it in the distance so put my foot down to get near, got along side to find a terrified looking middle-aged woman :/ not what i...

hey hey just took my das6pro out for a quick go on a small patch of paint work that I'd washed, clayed etc etc. just to see what sort of results I could get. I've got the mezema intro kit from CYC so only got a medium cutting compound and a 2 different hard foam compound pads + a...

car is now 423 miles over-due its cambelt change. My regular mechanic isn't able to do the job as he no-longer has a garage :<<< can anyone suggest a good garage in the caerphilly/cardiff area that won't rip me off and do a shoddy job? I've never used any other garages other than my regular in...

as title suggests. Replacing discs and pads all 'round. Looking for a nice setup but don't want to break the bank - the car isn't ever going to be tracked so don't need nothing extreme. Any traders on here that I should get in touch with? ​

as title suggests ^ I've seen one or two posts on this via google but haven't really got any clear answer on the cam upgrade (threads just seem to go off topic). All I want to know is - is the camshaft upgrade available on k-tecracing here actually worth the money? I'm in a one off...

as title suggests - looking for a decent garage that will remap the clio. Google pulls up a load of tripe when searching. Anyone? <3

as the title suggests - what should I be expecting in terms of ride quality if I decided to take the car a little lower, perhaps 40mm. I used to drive an astra gsi which was lowered. The ride quality was near spine crumbling on some roads. The car was only lowered with shorter springs, all...

Was thinking of having my rear splitter finished in gloss black but then drove past a clio 200 today and remembered how sweet that rear splitter looks with the silver exhaust rim things. I hear that the 200 splitter fits straight onto a 197 on a stock exhaust - what sort of trouble am I going to...

Getting a slight 'crunch' into 3rd when giving it the beans. Tried slowing right down on the gear change, making sure the clutch is flat to the floor but still getting it when I go up past around 7k rpm in 2nd. Doesn't happen if I'm driving normal, nor if im going from 4th to 3rd - also doesn't...

hey all, thought I'd say my hello's before i start posting monotonous questions on the forums Picked up the liquid yellow 197 f1 last Tuesday (30/04/13) and been grinning ever since! (not sure what number it is off the top of my head! think its 323). Used to drive an astra gsi with around...
