I enjoy! But you don't want an alpine head unit, go for a Pioneer!

Yeah you could say that. Magnecors are the best ignition leads you can get. I bought them on www.k-tecracing.com

nice that...
H&Rs next?
Do the strut braces do anything?

 

[philmots]

Nah, i cant be bothered with H&Rs. Im happy with my apex springs.

Yeah the rear strut brace stops the back end from flexing. Ive got a chrome front strut to fit from K-Tec to put on soon

As i turn the wheel whilst driving at a 40 degree angle both left and right, I hear a clunck coming from the front end all the time.

how comes the cup came without the cup splitter? is this normal?

nice looking cup, but be careful with strut braces, been told by a chap who does auto engineering that the clios setup is so precise from factory (even on lower models like my 1.2) that putting extra "anti flex" bits and pieces in like strutters will really have an affect on the handling, in a bad way.

nice engine mods though, have you had it rolling roaded?

jamie

Iuse to have a splitter but it snapped when going over a nasty bump. Nah i ait had it rolling roaded. I wonder what bhp over the standard 172bhp.

[OLLZIE]

More opinions welcome. Ive just got the k-Tec Chrome Strut Brace and Im now also wanting to get the fuel rail guard and plenum polished. I was thinking about getting the sound changed on my cup to make it sound more louder and to pop and bang a bit.
