    Nut sizes.. maybe I should have written a better title

    Got my coilovers today, obviously was anxious to fit them so jumped right in. Problem I've run into is the rear shocks have a different thread on them to the standard shocks, so the old top nuts don't fit. Only one of the new shocks came with a nut, so I need another. I've managed to deduce that...

    Coilover help needed ASAP!!

    Right. Gone to fit my ta technix coilies. The rear shocks have for some reason a bigger diameter on the thread. So they don't fit through the top mount. Am I doing something stupidly wrong??

    Calling all non sports on coilovers!

    Just a quick thing really, who's running ta technix (or any brand for that matter) on their non sport, without the rear adjusters? Just bought a set and wanted to know how well it will sit on the rear, and if i'll need to get lower springs. Cheers

    Interior lighting wiring question

    I'm putting some rear lighting in my car using leds, jumping off the main interior light circuit. However. How do I go about adding a constant live in, so like the main light, I can have it on a switch as well as when the doors open, it's unlocked etc.

    Portsmouth non sport, Ocean Retail Park

    Saw this little non sport gem while I was at work today. Presume the owner works in Currys or Halfords? Since I see it every weekend. Has a Cliosport tax disc holder, so must be someone!

    iPhone appears fubared..

    Right, basically... I took my iPhone 4 out of my pocket earlier today and it wouldn't unlock or respond in any way. Connected it to my laptop and the phone shows the Apple logo for about 20 seconds, vibrates, then switches off. Then it starts that cycle again. Computer can't see it, nor can...

    Honest opinions needed on this mod. Genuine answers please chaps.

    Right, age old discussion yada yada yada. Phoned insurance to ask about mods. Asked for a quote on tinted windows, sportex exhaust, wheel colour change, 172 bumper and coilovers. Bearing in mind my premium was £2257 in October last year, they wanted an additional... £6254. After much...

    Do I have a PH2 or a PH3?

    Out of pure curiosity, which do I have? I have the PH3 digi dials, it's on a 2006 plate, but doesn't have a PH3 front bumper.. Mine: PH3: Has someone just swapped the front bumper, or did they come with my bumper from the factory?

    Splicing into interior lighting

    I've decided the rear of the car is far too dark since it has no interior light, coupled with the tinted windows. Had an idea of hiding some white LED strips but where's a suitable place to splice into the lighting circuit? Already added some footwell lights but they're jumping off the main...

    Lupo wheels on Clio?

    Need some steels to roll on whilst I refurb my alloys, mate of mine's got a set of steels from his Lupo he's gonna lend me. They're both 4x100 PCD, and roughly the same offset. Only problem is a Clio's centre bore is 60 and a Lupo's is 57, will the 3mm make a difference? If the Lupos wheels...

    Blue 197? Plate "BIIRTT" or such like

    Was walking my dog in the village tonight and had a lovely blue RS Clio go past, what I assume was a 197 on a private plate like BIIRTT. Anyone on here?

    Exhaust affecting MPG hugely..

    This has probably been covered before or is a bit of an obvious answer, but I'm a bit confused right now. About 2-3 weeks ago I fitted a sportex cat back to my 1.2, and my MPG on the readout has been a steady 39.5 ish MPG. Before I fitted the sportex and had the standard system on, I was...

    Ideas needed people! Pictures/inspiration/anything

    Not sure what mods to do to my wee 1.2 next. ICE is pretty much sorted but apart from that everything is standard. There's a shittonne of Clio's in my area too so wanna do something to make it stand out. Will probably just start with wind deflectors since I find them useful, but want to do...

    Stereo space problem...

    Same old chestnut, new stereo has a tonne of inputs and I'm struggling to feed them all out the way behind the stereo, enough so to push it back far enough to lock. What's the best way to get behind the stereo to feed wires into recesses? Getting frustrating now! Cheers chaps

    C4 mist washer jets aiming far too low?

    As above, just chucked them on and they're covering the bottom of the wiper blade. Do these need to be adjusted or tilted? Or are they just crap? Haha any answers would be helpful!

    1.2 Mk 2 Phase 3 Campus 'Sport' - Typical First Car

    Hi all, My name's Alex and I'll be 17 in two weeks today. I went to look at a Campus Sport today and immediately fell in love with it. Car was perfect aside from some mayo in the filler cap, but a phone call later confirmed it was simply due to short journeys, not HG failure. :D 34 thousand on...
