My mates picking on the french car

And your mate owns a Ford, by any chance?

 

[Luke_197]

The majority of my mates own fords I nearly bought an ST instead of my 197, but I thought I'd be different

 

[Chris197F1]

good cars the ST's had one for over 2 and a half years before I got the Clio.

 

[Tom]

Ahh, they're just jealous 'cause they're not as quick in a straight line OR around corners lol.

Thanks, I'm thinking of going for white 90mm ones, it's a bit boring I know but I recon it stands out a bit more than black.

Loving the yellow fog lights, have the same on mine...old-school French look.

Update removing miltek resonator!

Recently I've been hearing a rattle from the exhaust at about 3k revs. It was extremely annoying so took it to one of my mates to have a look at. After a bit of examinination we found it was the resonator(centre silencer) was damaged from scraping over everything!

Here's a pic



As you can see it covered in scratches and the mesh inside was causing the rattle :/

I'd been considering for some time getting the resonator removed and now I had an excuse, so I took the clio to powerflow this morning and took the resonator out for £50.

I was quite worried because I have a decat and pre cat delete pipe, so I thought it might be far too loud and sound tinny.

But I was very wrong, it sounds immense, it's so much more raspy lower down the revs, and makes more noise, the pops and bangs are so much louder. I was expecting the exhaust to drone motorway journeys, but I drove home down the m4 at 80mph and it's actually no different to the resonated system

I've only driven for about half an hour, but I'm very happy so far I'll get a video up very soon so you guys can can tell me what you think .
