ITG Induction kit, see for sale thread.


Davyy 5th February 2013 16:13

After a clean.. Lovelyyyy!







Possibly up for sale, message me if interested.

Giraffe 5th February 2013 16:17

Up for sale already?!

Davyy 5th February 2013 16:19

Possibly, really unsure as I love driving it everyday. Fuel is possibly a bit much for me at the moment on my apprentice wage! Costing me just under £200 a month. As said it is possibly as I do love it so I would have it up for a fairly steep price and wouldnt sell for less so.. we'll see :)

Gandi699 5th February 2013 16:27

what mpg are you getting from it? should get 40 on a run at 60-70mph quite easily

Davyy 5th February 2013 16:33

Erm I do a good 35 miles a day, probably 15 of them motorway. My mpg thing says 33.7mpg. I never thrash it as such but some fun. Filled it up on Sunday night and have used just under 1/3 a tank already but I have done probably 100 miles ish, maybe a bit more.

Went to drive to work yesterday, reversed off the drive fine, selected 1st and then there was just no drive :( just an awful grinding noise

My guess is the driveshaft has come out of the gearbox :( - being recovered this morning and then to the mechanics

Gandi699 11th February 2013 09:19

Unlikely the shaft is just going to fall out of the box

Davyy 11th February 2013 09:30

Yeah i know, i had same on my 1.2 and thats what it was due to a hole in the bit which holds the gearbox oil

The mechanic reckons the internal spring on the driveshaft ? or something, and if that has gone into the box i will need a new box :(

Davyy 11th February 2013 15:11

New driveshaft it is - should have it back today, £130 later!

Davyy 23rd February 2013 08:10

Driveshaft issue got fixed that day.

Had x2 Toyo Proxes T1Rs fitted on Thursday, feels planted and happy with them for £120 fiited. All the better as well as I got the tracking done.

Getting it detailed on Monday by Moxy, pics to follow.

Next thing to do is get 2 average rear tyres as they are a little low and sort out this rubbing/grinding noise from the rear right wheel. Sounds similar to a gone bearing or rubbing brake.

Davyy 25th February 2013 18:41

Had my car detailed today, machine polish etc etc.

Here is a few pictures, and well spent money in my opinion!













moxy89 25th February 2013 21:49

ever since you have left i have been online trying to find a 172 cup, yours is perfect mate, i love it, there is also a thread on detailing world where people are enjoying your motor

Davyy 25th February 2013 22:56

Haha yeah is very nice :D cliosport are liking your work also! Link to thread?

Davyy 26th February 2013 16:44

Had to be a bus wanker today :( car is getting new brake pads all round, hopefully solve the grinding noise.

Trying to maintain this 100% and make sure there are no little niggles, otherwise they build up and you end up hating the car - as i did with my VTR :(

Cheers! Haha shh, i knew it wouldnt just fall out but it seemed similar to when it came out on my old clio due to a whole in part of the box causing it to lose the gearbox oil

Gandi699 27th February 2013 11:50

If it comes out of the stupidly designed oil seal cum gaitor, then you'll ditch gearbox oil. Pain in the arse that is on the JC5

Oh no, that didnt have on this clio. That was on my 1.2 ph1. The issue on this the driveshaft cv gaitor and the driveshaft bearings.

No progress as such, had my first attempt of cleaning and it was awfully dirty due to the salty motorways.

All i used to Autoglym shampoo and detailer and came up lovely.

Need new front bumper, service etc which i'll do after May (Insurance renewal).

Such a gorgeous colour when clean and sun shining, horrid when dirty though.
