Reckon they might have had to roll the arches!

Wow long read but worth it really starting to miss my scooby now. Welldone mate lovely car

just seen the new clio in the flesh (not the RS) looks... "special"

they all do tbh same with mine and every silver 182 ive seen dunno why.

Cheers good advise Cupman: yea ive got the inlet but everything else ill be interested in pm me with a price. Mantis: im gonna (try) and make a hybrid gearbox using 1.9 clio and 172 box as the block look similar to the f9q. If thats not possible then ill drill and tap the block to suite...

Ok so i got given a megane 165 with a nackered turbo so i thought it would be a good excuse to turbo my 182 looking up old posts i dont think it will be to hard (famous last words). Anyway i can get a new 165 turbo charger for about £200 so my question is what power can you get from this setup...

sorry to bring this thread back up but its the exact problem ive got on mine you reckon its the lambdas danny? the pre cat one seems to be switching right on the graph but the after cat one is a constant line from cold to hot i dont think any cat is that effiecent lol

hello mate im from billingham do you have the part number from the aux belt kit and what did you get in it cheers

yea thought so cheers mate

hi mate did the job myself (im a mechanic) just got the cambelt kit (£70) as it was all done prior to me buying the car just not very well so i did it again lol

just done my cambelt at weekend checked the dephaser and there was the slightest movement rotation wise is this normal or does it want the dephaser changing cheers

tbh felt the same way and bought an newage impreza and now im back in a 182! Its like every one is saying you need to drive it more!

i road tested a 182 with the scorpion exhaust on (not the 192) the normal one and id say it wasnt louder than renault original one but made a much nicer tone infact just ordered one for the car i did buy and only £311 off a company on ebay ill let you know what its like to fit lol

welldone mate looks great i love the little turbo twingos if you take the pipe of the boost recurculator valve it makes a nice woosh noise like a dump valve we did it at work for a laugh got a lot of looks lol

if its a 172 it'll be the driveshaft circlip like said above ask them to look at that first it causes the same fault as a bust diff
