No answer?

standard timing yes. I have a lumpy idle and I suspect it runs a litle rich so thought to check the timing too beside the rest. Well it always had a lumpy idle but now it's kinda lumpier than before

Hi, So I want to do a timing check on my 182, as far as I know the procedure is like this: remove camshaft end caps to expose the grooves Rotate the crank until the pin slots in the correct hole on the crank and see if the horseshoe tool slots in the cams with ease. The thing is my 182 had an...

I can get one these days yeah

I wonder how many members are still active from the begining. I'm here since 2008 (not that old)

Mine were refurbed 2 years ago and at the begining it was fine, now the outer disc edge started to rust again, like there's no contact with the pad there. It's so annoying. I have a theory on thist though: the car sits outside so moisture creeps on that area, slightly eats the metallic compound...

So, the solution? 10 yrs mega bump lol

I have the Brembo calipers upgrade and they are miles better cooling wise than standard units

Hi there, I just opened one of my headlights the other day due to one of the supports being snapped and boy it was probably the most difficult thing I ever did on the car. The factory glue that holds the unit together is almost heat resistant but anyway.. I managed to repair the damage, put it...

Hi, After the last trackdays the pads lay an uniform deposit on the discs which also causes a light judder. I have the 197 brembo conversion with ds2500 pads and 300mm scenic brembo discs (which are new). I like to think that I bed in the pads properly. I only do 2 max 3 laps on a 4km track and...

because why a renault dealer could know such details, right? :))

all wheel bolts are the same on the mk2 clio rs's . m12x1,5 (not sure on the length though)

Hi, As I have a friend with a NA Miata and he was looking for a big brake kit, I've seen they also provide that kit with the Clio 197 calipers and 280mm discs. Nice thing is that the discs they sell are re-drilled 280x28mm thick discs from a Nissan Almera Tino which is 5x114,3 as standard. I...

Hi, Any idea where I could find a wheel boss for the one bellow? thanks!
