Beaulieu simply Japanese tomorrow. My lads polished his WRX to death. I've hoovered me twister out. New tyres and suspension all round. Handles really well. Like a go-cart tbh. Went shopping in it this morning, on the way my wife told me I was going too fast into the corners?? Grips like...

Does sound similar. I've decided to go for it, new tyre today. Worth a go. Getting new bushes and rubber stuff sorted on soon. Try and tame the beast. :rolleyes: Kind of like the off road look myself.

New shocks and springs all round. Handles very surefooted now. It doesn't react like a speeding Gypo with a wheelbarrow full of stollen scrap metal. 15" wheels make it handle well but a bit wayward in a straight line. Only way to describe it is like...going too fast on roller-skates?? But then...

I went to a local scrapyard Saturday. Stood on a load of broken plastic parts and nearly lost my virginity again on a Vauxhall bumper laying in a massive puddle. Place reminded me of that scene in star wars where Luke and hansolo got stuck in that scrap room on the death star. Not idea for a...

Just bought these clio 15" wheels £85. Came with 4 random Chinese tyres. Need decent tyres as the wife drives it too, £160. It looks more like a bleedin 4X4 now and I can't lower it without it fouling. Looks higher and more manly I suppose. Less boy racer for an old fart like me. Got any...

Yep, not great. Have to take it back to the garage. They know someone who fixes Aircon locally. More expense. I've spent a small fortune on it so far in parts. Could have bought a nice 207. Hay ho.

I had mine re-gassed along with £350 worth of welding. Still crap, better off driving around with the window open with a wet flannel on your face tbh.

......yep, off a car in a scrapyard. Cheers for the tip. Bagged N14 Almera callipers too. :) My son removed the seats from the Almera and tried to match them up to the broken Micra floor, too wide, would have be lush though.:(

Don't for get the grey wig and flat cap to really irritate people! Strut braces are, in my opinion, not really worth the money on a small car that doesn't really flex or twist it's chassis much. Anti roll bar bushes and parts like that make, to my mind, a lot of difference. Lowering springs...

New tyres with decent tread and wider wheels. Make sure the shocks are all good. I leant on the corner of my bonnet and it was way too easy to bounce the car corner up and down. If yours is like this you'll need to get it sorted. Got to remember these cars were only designed for town trips by...

Mine are 15" Renault Clio alloys. 185/55/15R. 15's are too big too lower onto, like mine, so go for 14's. Too many speed humps where I live and I collect tree trunks and large bags of wood so not practical. But 15's make it handle like a proper motor.

Cheers bud.

Mine with 15"s. Clio wheels.

Well regardless of power I've bought this lot today from my local scrap yard for. £35... Door pins from a 5 door. Door handles, mines busted. Spare wheel cover. Almera N14 brake calipers. Headlight, mines letting in water after just a wash. And some local clio 15" wheels with excellent tyres...

Picked up a good 200++ kilos of wood in it today. Wife was worried as the back end was well low. :D

That's not bad considering. Garages charge £50 an hour inc vat, if your lucky.

No, mines still going strong at 95k I'm off to the scrapyard tomorrow morning for something to do with my son, so wondered what to buy... 5 door, door pins. Mine clangs. 14/15" steel wheels. Half decent middle cat if I can see one. Cheap stereo. Original one's on eBay need a code. Steering...

Looks like the clubs not going then. Thought there might be a few going with a purple rinse? It's funny that, when I had my Subaru WRX you'd stick a thumb up to a fellow driver. In these things you realise quite quickly the micra coming the other way, could well be, and normally is, two old...

Blimey, what's happened there Mr. Rider ?

Somebody has keyed it. It was keyed before I bought it, the previous owner lived on a large estate, miles from me. I managed to get the worst out when I first got it, but some lowlife scumbag has done it again! What attracts these morons?? I'm reluctant to buy wheels as it's easily stollen. :(
