Hi all,
Cleared out my garage recently. I am after 1 or 2 workbenches for general use but eventually intending to strip gearboxes/engines etc. on them so could do with them being heavy duty/not s**t. I would also like to mount a vice on them. Not fussed about shelving but a draw or good space...
Yes another track car!
Bit of background, I owned a BG 182 back in 2012, was a dog when purchased but spent a fortune getting it sorted, but unfortunately was written off by a careless Zafira owner!
Absolutely loved that car, but at the time I was a bit crap with money so it ended up being a...
Hi all,
As title, metal particles from cage grinding and welding, have turned to rust spots over the last few months, stuck to the paint. Whats the best way to remove?
Well, bought the CS famous 'HOU' and broke it for parts.
For a 'much loved' car I was shocked at the amount of bodges, mainly wiring (didnt see a single crimped/soldered join, all twisted and taped), wire holding the exhaust on, various mismatched bolts/nuts, many missing or rounded, also very...
Hi all,
03 plate 172 ph2, gone fairly heavily down the track car route and have just had a cage fitted (welded in bases etc.) and plenty of modifications. It was always meant to be a cheap-ish project.
The shell is far from mint, which doesnt bother me, but recently I have found some bad rust...
Hi all,
Bit of background - ph2 172, steering wheel airbag has been deactivated in CLIP previously.
Car has had a new battery and full dashboard out for EPAS conversion.
Also removed the engine wiring loom and cut back and removed aircon and pas wires to the fuseboard/ecu.
All back together...
Hi everyone,
Background, ph2 172 with corbeau buckets, oreca harnesses (4 point), Jon Foz frames (when I order them!).
Im aware of the risks running harnesses in the seatbelt holes and the less than ideal angles.
Can I get away with a harness bar between the rear turrets and if so, any...
Hi,
Relocating the battery to the boot and want to do away with the big fuse near the battery in the standard setup.
The battery will be megafused so no worries there.
Does anyone know the gauge of the cable this is attached to, or the easiest way to find out? I only have 10mm terminals so...
Hi all,
Thought I would post some pics of my recently aquired G! Using this everyday and have a 172 project.
Opted out of the CC scheme at work and took the allowance, and am now saving circa £100 a month, which is nice.
It is a 1.4tb in cobalto blue metallic with rear parking sensors, rear...
Hi everyone,
Picking up my new car in about 2 weeks, a brand new Cobalto Blue Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
I have told the dealer not to valet it, just to pressure wash it.
I was planning on spraying a diluted APC, hosing off, autoglym bug and tar remover (again, spray on), spray off, iron X, spray...
Hi all,
Removing air con from my 03 172. I had to cut the plug from the pump and want to know if I can remove this wiring back to the fuse board and pull the relay/fuse and have no adverse effects?
Could do with a layout of the fuses and relays if so.
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
My 172 came with a recessed system which has melted the 182 surround, and was bodged with jubilee clips to hold it in place in the cutout.
I have removed all of these, renewed bolts, rubbers etc. and struggling to align the exhaust?
I can get it central on the jack, tighten it all...
Hi all,
I know I need the rack itself, and the ecu, but do I need the bottom part of the column with the rubber and the pinch bolt, or would I be able to use my existing on on my 172...
Hi all,
Looking into suspension on my 172, which currently has ktec coilies on.
I had eibach sportlines on my 182, which I always thought sat a bit high, but handled amazingly.
I am looking to strip out the 172 (rear bench etc. and buckets), has anyone got pics/project thread for how this...
Well, some of you may remember me from 2012 when I had a BG 182.
Spent a small fortune sorting it out, only for it to be written off by an inconsiderate Zafira driver!
Anyway, 3 years on and I have just yesterday picked up a Pearl Black 172. 86k, belts done by Dan@SJM.
Mods are Ktec...
Hi all,
Looking to get back into the rs scene, had a 182 a few yeara ago that was unfortunately written off by a Zafira with anger management issues!
Considering a ph1, but concerned about rust! Where are the common spots and, is it a major issue on these? Is any of it hidden?
Cheers all.

With reference to the above, I have bought a used RS Tuner and myself and the seller want to know whether it needs to be unlocked if the car type is the same? The thread mentions differences in license...
Hi all,
Looking on either getting the Pure motorsport topmounts and brace or the whiteline ARB... can anybody give me an opinion on the most worthwhile?
Will have both eventually but looking for something over the summer to go with my turbines.
Hi all,
I recently fitted some Lemforder ball joints to my 182 FF. It was pointed out to me by Fred when I had my bushes fitted that the bolt was moving around in the hole (shiny metal on the washer), and that the OE bolt was needed to stop this.
Does anyone know the size? I think its M12 but...
Hi all,
Looking at getting some of the above, I am looking to renew all components so was wondering if there is any OE items I need to replace when I fit them, or is it a replacement for everything above the shock?
Cheers.
Hi all,
After some OE replacement mounts. Found the Upper Gearbox one, and this one looks right but it isnt listed for the 182.
Is this mount the same on any other Clio listed?
Cheers.
Hi all,
My 182 has an annoying hissing sound when I accelerate. It isnt exhaust related as it did it before and after I fitted my miltek, and still does it with the decat pipe and the new genuine gasket kit.
Ive heard it could be the master cylinder?
Hi all,
Had my 182 for a few weeks now and this problem is really, really getting on my nerves now!
Symptoms;
When braking progressively, the car pulls to the left, not really sharply but not coasting either.
At speed, the effect is worse i.e. a much harder and aggressive pull, but happens at...
Hi everyone,
Realistically is there much difference between 2.25" and 2.5" exhaust bores? Im after a new exhaust for my 182 quite urgently and the Ktec sports one looks tempting.
Main use is a daily, want it to sound nice when Im giving it some, not that bothered about power increase.
Hi guys,
My 182 passenger outer cv boot has split, Im ordering a new boot kit tommorow, just wondering if you can 'knock' the cv joint off the driveshaft so I can clean it out and get the new boot over? On my Golf it was held on with a circlip and a tap from behind popped it off.
The reason I...
