    No literally just moved them with a pry bar

    Mike's racing blue 197

    No mate it never caused a problem but I did change them so instead of one side being straight and the other massively twisted I kind of made them both twisted the same amount if that makes sense.

    Has my cat cracked?

    I thought that aswell and I’ve had a good look around while it was on axle stands but can’t see anything. I’d expect even if the manifold had cracked that the post cat O2 sensor would still be lower than pre cat

    Has my cat cracked?

    Driving around this morning just before I arrived home I heard a strange metallic crack noise but afterwards didn't feel any difference in the way the car drove and thought nothing of it. Started the car up a couple hours later and had a engine light on the dash and "check emission" message...

    Track Day Mods

    yeah 651’s we’re chucked on when I first got the car and are the only tyres I’ve tried so this time round I’ll up the budget for some decent ones. Seems like a minefield as some people do or don’t like certain tyres and certain only suit certain setups so I imagine it might be trial and error...

    Track Day Mods

    I've had my Clio up for sale for a couple of weeks now because I was wanting something a bit quicker out the box (has to be NA though) the more I think about it there's nothing wrong with the Clio and I've spent a small fortune on gearbox rebuild, cambelt and other parts. It's now done 4-5 track...

    Airbag light won’t go out

    Tried the resistors for the seat belt pre tensioner aswell but still no look with clearing the light off the dash. Looks like I’ll have to find someone local with CLIP

    Airbag light won’t go out

    Ok I’ll have another look into it to kind how to frig the switch. So you’re saying it’s a different resistor rating for the airbags?

    Removed both front seats (non recaro) and fitted a bucket seat mate

    Airbag light won’t go out

    Ive followed the how to thread to add 3.3ohm resistors to get rid of the airbag light following bucket seat install but the light is still on the dash. On measuring the resistors they measure 3.5ohm instead of 3.3, can the SRS module be this sensitive? Does anyone have CLIP in the North East...

    Alternator goosed?

    When the engine was turning over but not starting did it seem to be turning over any slower than normal? The voltage should only be above 14v with the engine running and it should start will 13v however batteries can show correct voltage but if damaged they don’t have the amps/load to start a...

    Mike's racing blue 197

    Got myself a Sparco Rev QRT seat last month and been acquiring other parts the last few weeks, SW motorsport side seat mounts, TRS 4 point harness and teqiwa harness bar. Fitted the seat to the floor and couldn't see over the steering wheel :tearsofjoy: SW motorsport seat base and runners...

    Headlights not working

    I got this sorted in the end and it turned out to be an issue with the engine bay fuse box. Found an eBay listing from AssA Electronics where they test UCH, they wanted the key card, engine bay fuse box and UCH and tested the full lot. I would highly recommend using this service if anyone has...
