Still confuses me how that one could crack like that. But fair play replacing it yourself.

We’ve had a side window go like that, over taking on a dual carriage way, car to left pinged a stone up and bounced off window, didn’t shatter it and noticed no damage. Parked up at home, went out later and the window had shattered. Put it down to temperature change during the day making it expand/contract.
Can’t find the picture I took but looked identical.
Edit:
Has something bounced off the side mirror in the circle and hit window? Or is it just a reflection, it’s hard to tell.

Might be pointless, but looks nice!
I have been trying the induction setup with the itg housing on and off and haven't really noticed any difference other than an increase in induction/turbo noise which I liked, so I've opted to fit the largest filter I could fit in the space. Fitted with a trumpet intake so may aid flow, I really doubt its made a difference the performance, though I'm yet to test it properly. I have a Juke R turbo outlet pipe to go on at some point too. So say better flowing as its a straighter route for the air to travel, again I doubt it'll have a measurable difference but Ill give it a go soon. Ive also given the turbo a look over and found it still spinning freely with no excessive play, so still going strong

Bin the recirc and have some nice chatter instead.I think there’s abit of a science to this… a good quality recirc, 3”-4” ally induction tube and a decent air filter with a radius inside it like what you’ve bought. Choo choo noise’s all day
Could try removing it from the pipework but leave the electrical plug connected.

Recirc will give you chatter
Changed to the so say "better" flowing juke turbo out let pipe. The pipe work routing for for the FMIC is quite convoluted and the whole lot could be improved massively which I may look to do in the future, I think you could take a meter or so out of it pretty easily. That said I know it is the way it is to fit on totally stock Clios, All the FMIC kits follow the same route.

Its bank holiday Monday and I've been meaning to give the car a clean for a while. Last clean it had was when I gave in the minor paint correction a few weeks back. I did go to have a blast at it a few days ago but it looks like the capacitor has let go in my Karcher so I've ordered a new one to replace it. That said it still needed a clean. Next best thing for me was to rock up to the localish car wash with my own kit and give it a light clean. Nothing major, rocked up with the citrus prewash, own mit and drying towel. Came up very well and getting there before the they opened meant I wasn't rushed to get it done. After that I gave it a 25mile run including a visit to Tesco to top off with some 99ron (which it was mapped on) Was great to give it a proper push out on really quiet roads, brings a huge grin to my face.
Decided to bite the bullet and get back out on track. Back before kids (15+ years ago) I used to enjoy getting out, used to frequent some of the UK tracks and did multiple trips out to the ring too in various cars from 1.8 16v swapped R5, a 200sx and a couple in my old ITB'd ph1 172. That died off when funds became tighter and my responsibilities changed.
One of the lads at work wants to start getting out and doing some in a Peugeot Sport 308 so booked Mallory on the 21st of June so I've jumped on the same one, should be a good refresher, break me back into them a little. I've also got half day booked at Anglesey in July.
Time to see how the daily Clio holds up
