Z3M Roadster Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 OK, we've all seen pictures of nice clean and shiny C4s but surely in this weather you can't keep them that way. I'd be interested to see whether anyone's is as dirty as mine. Pic to be posted tomorrow. Quote
ham's c4vts Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 Stuey went to Wales this weekend to watch the rally, and he maybe the winner with his photos, but sorry no C4's in anger :( come on Stu, lets see those pics :D ;) Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 I will see if i have time to get some pics up 2moz... As i have said, i am trying to get it as dirty as possible! ;) Quote
Rich_Eason Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Ah knackers ;) Count me out I washed mine at the weekend after a 5 week stint. Quote
Welshguy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Haven't washed mine for months !!! As mentioned before I'm due a free detail from my mate's company but I figure I might as well use it at the start of Summer. So the car may not get a wash till after Christmas! ;) Quote
Stuey Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 sorry chaps took the Impreza to Wales...that car is filthy but the C4 is clean... Quote
Welshguy Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 Did you get anywhere near Cardiff ? Enjoy the sheep ? ;) :( Quote
Stuey Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 we stayed about 15 mins outside cardiff...I only saw a handfull of sheep. Thats that stereotype out the window then... Quote
ham's c4vts Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 we stayed about 15 mins outside cardiff...I only saw a handfull of sheep. Thats that stereotype out the window then... Theres plenty of the buggers up here Stu! Quote
Welshguy Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Thers plenty of the buggers up here Stu! The voice of experience? :angry: So what were you doing in my neck of the woods? Quote
Stuey Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 it was Rally GB...there has to be a bloody good reason to go to Cardiff and Swansea... Quote
Welshguy Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 it was Rally GB...there has to be a bloody good reason to go to Cardiff and Swansea... Oi...nothing wrong with Cardiff :P Mind you...renewed my insurance yesterday and wondered why it was relatively high...checked my postcode and it's rated one of the worse at risk Quote
moggy Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 this is my car at the mo, not been washed for 10 days now, from handle down is brown, doesnt show as filthy as it really is cos of how sunny and bright everything is edit: changed picture to a more dirty one <_< http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3315/dsc00275oy3.jpg Quote
Stuey Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 facking hell thats pretty good!! mines to dark to show up dirt properly... Quote
wozza Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Mines not that dirty after 4 weeks. Then again it has barely been used recently. Hoping once it gets back from Citroen in a couple days it will be repaired and cleaned for me <_< Hopefully it'll be back tomorrow or Thursday. They wanted it for 4 days to check it over properly. Also get recall done and couple other jobs. Quote
Stuey Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 what you having done Wozza?? on a dirty car note...I saw Ham's car dirty a couple of weeks ago dun dun dah!!! no pictures though, I ran to get my camera but he took me down! (I did promise that I wouldnt say anything, sorry Ham :P) Quote
wozza Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Having recall done, Finding out why it went into limp home 3 times last week. Exhaust needs looking at. And couple rattles and squeaks. And Hams car was dirty!? Thats it the world as we know it is going to end. Quote
ham's c4vts Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Aye!!! :D ill post a pic later it aint been washed for nearly three weeks :o (this sat)because i injured myself a couple of weekends ago and with going to north wales last sunday. may get to clean it later to day when my wife gets home :P Quote
Stuey Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 just random stuff then...what happens when limp home comes on?? That knocking from the exhaust is getting worse on mine, I need to have it looked at... When I say Hams car was dirty...it wasnt as clean as normal...looks like a normal car after a few days rather than a show car like all the other times I have seen it...dirty all the same. I did make a point of reminding him at every available opportunity...but to show how clean the car is normally, behind the wheel nut covers (the citreon emblem centre disk thingy) was clean!! OCD is the only explaination... Quote
wozza Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Dunno if you remember it but theres a roundabout on the motorway near where the meet was and where I live. Well I was taking off from the lights there floor it as I changed up into 2nd it just gave an error message. Popped up with the service sign on the centre display and just lost all power. I was in 2nd gear and struggling to hit 35 - 40mph. Just totally lost all power. Did it a few more times during the week every time just had to pull over turn off and on again and it was fine but I wanted to get it checked out in case its anything more serious. Quote
Stuey Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 random...maybe your car is scared of the rev limiter?? Quote
wozza Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Lol probably got fed up of hitting it most days its taken out. Just decided its gonna throw a wobbly. Quote
Stuey Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 maybe its trying to tell you something...the 1.4 sounds ill if you go up to the limiter. 5.5K is quite enough... Quote
wozza Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 1.6 actually sounds quite nice when the nuts are revved off it. Had it to 6200 - 6500rpm enough times. When driving hard normally change around 6200. But power is further up the rev range in the 1.6 it doesnt top out till around 5800 unlike the 1.4 which is around 5300ish. According to the engine states in the book anyway. Its a rev happy engine. Its actually got quite a low red line int he c4 in the 106 gti and c2 etc its around 7000rpm i think. Quote
Stuey Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 the book that says the 1.4tops out at 5300 is wrong :P Quote
