    Rear speakers not working

    Rear speakers were an optional extra, many didn't come with them. Pull out the plastic mesh where the speaker is. I doubt there is a speaker in there

    Brembo Caliper Help Required

    Just a bleed screw from the calliper. If your replacing them anyway just use an old one. If that fails just wrap some tape round the end of the airline to make a good seal.

    Brembo Caliper Help Required

    There isn't a size for an airline. I got an out bleed screw and drilled a hole through it. Then attached some hose to it and attached to a compressor. They shouldn't take much pressure to come out, I only use 50psi. Put a block of woof in between the pistons to stop them coming fully out. Then...

    Engine advice, 225 or 250,

    Youll have to use a meg 225 or clio gearbox. 250 one won't fit

    UPDATE: Earlier this week I set about stripping the hub carrier with the aid of an oxi-acetaline torch and a press. The low ball joint was pressed out which was relatively easy actually, hopefully pressing the new one in is just as easy. The pinch bolt that holds strut tower in was siezed...

    Lowering 197

    Bitch of a job to replace the front shocks, the pinch bolt on the hub 9/10 is seized solid, you normally have to cut it out and replaced. Apart from that it's not too bad.

    Part/ Track day Roll cage

    Looks more of a show cage really. I'd save the money and put it towards a full custom cage if you are wanting to go down that route.

    UPDATE: Another weekend of long days on the clio. First was I finished my subframe, it was given 3 coats of hammerite smooth black, turned out pretty good considering it was brushed on. On saturday I assembled all the subframe, wishbones, ARB and new steering rack. It looked better than when it...

    Will an LSD reduce torque steer on the 197?

    The 197's at stock power or even mapped have hardly any torque steer anyway. The LSD will benefit cornering speed and off the line starts among other things. Will be a big job to get the diff fitted, you can definatly do it if you have the right facilities and know how, you'll have to split...
