    Clio Storage - Birmingham/West Mids

    Morning all. Starting to think about my quickly approaching move to Birmingham for my new career, possibly thinking again about getting myself a cheap Mk5 Golf daily for running around to work in for the time being. Almost definitely not going to have room for 2 cars so if anyone knows of...

    Front End Damage

    Hi all, Was walking into a restaurant last night when some idiot decided to reverse into the front of my Clio at a fair speed. I heard a massive crack and bang (obviously the impact) but the bumper seems okay on closer inspection this morning. I know it's extremely tight behind the bumper and...

    Insurers

    So now I've turned 21, I get the understanding I can get quotes from a fair few modified car insurers now? Greenlight, Sky, any others? On another note, would be great to know some decent trackday insurers that you guys have used in the past, was just sifting through my unread emails (sorry...

    Broadband Providers..

    Are there any decent broadband providers out there? Or is it just another UK thing..? Got Sky Fibre at home, it works but probably at half the quoted speed.. Can't be worse than Templeton in Devon...less than 1mb/s download speed, as a result they made this for Bonfire Night. Amazing.

    Helmet for Track Days

    As most of you know I'm losing my track virginity next week at Bedford, got a free day tomorrow so will be hunting around for a helmet. Any shops to head to for a good deal and good customer service? Want to try things on and get a feel so I get the right one for me. On the flip side, any...

    Different fuels = different drive?

    I was low on fuel this afternoon in Swindon so I went to Sainsbury's and filled up with their super unleaded. I run BP Ultimate or Tesco Momentum normally, so I was unsure as to what this would be like, especially after bad experiences with V-Power. But 10 miles down the road it sounded raspier...

    GoPro/Video Cam Recommendations

    So I'm thinking of getting a video camera at some point soon, for track days, meets etc...there's so many GoPros and different cameras about I have no idea what to get. Was looking at the Hero 3+ as a good starter but the battery is well documented as pretty poor...any recommendations or ideas...

    Car Storage/Cliositter

    So I've been shortlisted for a job away in Europe for the best part of 6 months over the winter. The only thing I'm worried about is my pride and joy and what to do with her whilst I'm gone... Is there anyone out there with maybe some spare undercover space that could look after her...maybe...

    Haunted Window

    Thought I'd left the window open by mistake last week but this morning got up to the sound of my alarm going off. Window all the way down. Went out to the car to grab a charging cable last night and it was definitely shut and car locked. I've fitted deflectors, however it seems weird why it...

    Front Lights

    I'm looking to change all the bulbs in my front lights, having white dipped beams with yellow cornering lights is annoying me. Can anyone recommend a decent white bulb that I can use for dipped, main beam and cornering lights?

    Which Springs to go for?

    I've found that H&R and Eibach springs are around the same price near on everywhere I've been looking. I live in rural Wiltshire so roads are pretty dire, therefore I don't want it that low that I'm going to start smashing sumps etc... Nice and tucked in with a set of 20mm spacers...

    Adrian Flux Insurance

    This time of year is always a painful one...especially at the ripe old age of 20.. Thanks to Dan for putting me in touch with the guys, had two conversations on the phone with separate people, both were nice, understanding and genuinely seemed to want to help me get the best price possible...

    Benno's UR197 & Meg 250

    So I thought I may as well start a thread on my new toy following my welcome post! She's a normal 197 with Climate Control, Cruise Control, Cornering Lights, Xenons, and the Cabasse Audio setup (if I knew the problems with upgrading I really would have avoided this..). Just ticked over to 86k...

    Teething Problems...

    Hi Guys, Bought an 06 197 today (privately..), test drove it and was absolutely spot on, didn't skip a beat. Drove it down the motorway home and noticed a slight crunch going from 2nd to 3rd at high revs. Drive it slowly and it slots in no problem, same as going 4th into 3rd, no issues. It's...
