    poor throttle responce (ish)

    Sounds like it's the ECU ruining the mix, or possibly not burning properly (more likely the former). If you have the old spark plugs kicking around you could throw them in briefly just to eliminate it, but like Mr.Foxspeed has said, it's more likely a sensor that's tricking the ECU. If it were...

    Smug git.

    In a drag race or straight line the Clio isn't that quick. In fact you'll end up looking pretty stupid just against some of the more high powered diesels kicking around these days. But point-to-point along a twisting road or something that requires good brakes/suspension and chassis you'll be...

    Thanks Yiannis! Yeah it's a good laugh, and everything is super cheap compared to the 197, which just adds to the fun because you worry less, spend less, and buy more. Good suspension can be had for ~£600, full set of NS2R <£300 fitted, Willwood big brake kits (including calipers) ~£600. God...

    Wow, been ages since I got around to updating this! Well, there hasn't been too much progress on the car, between house hold jobs, moving out of my industrial unit, having to store the car in my mums tiny garage and some ****ty weather I haven't had the time or motivation to get much done. I've...

    So another update here. The roll cage is in and so is some padding from the guys at JJC. Really happy with how it looks, I want to re-do the carpet as it's not as neat as I'd like but other than that I'm chuffed with how much it changes the overall look of the car. + some epic tie wraps...

    MORE PARTS!!!! So this week my TRLane GPV roll bar arrived that I bought new from them off eBay for a decent price! IMG_2539 by Rob Owen!, on Flickr In other news, parking the '5 in any car park seems to attract other 'interesting' cars. Much more than my black 197 ever has. MAZDA...

    F1 season 2015 comments here

    I really enjoyed the race, Australia sucked, but Malasia has put the season back on track. Lots of good news stories all through the grid. Everything from the Rookies treating it like a GP2 race and Verstappen practically driving people off the track, to someone other than Merc winning, and a...

    Well that was a decent race! My predictions SUCKED, but somehow managed to score decent points to take top spot (for now!). Think I only got 10points in total for getting one of my predictions right, so don't worry Beeds, not predicting anything isn't much worse haha.
