    Upgrading Audio 182

    You can't "push" it out per say, IIRC they're glue-gunned very enthusiastically in to the oval shape housing. But if you're happy to drill, file, sand, oven, dremel & generally butcher the old tweeters in a very controlled & precise manor then yeah that could work quite nicely.

    Upgrading Audio 182

    Hah, just you wait... You'd think it'd be a big hole, with a big grommet and have a big bunch of wires going through. But no. It's a grommet bonded to the outside of a 40 ish pin plug. IIRC there are some spare slots but no pins in said spare slots. So people tend to carefully drill out the...

    Upgrading Audio 182

    Headunit (Clio II is ISO so no adaptor needed, just the stereo's own propriety loom) to crossover. Crossover to tweeter & crossover to door. That's why you need new wiring. There's no way of getting a signal from the crossover back to the tweeter on the standard loom. A neat way of doing it...

    Most cost effective 172 modifications

    Sound's like you're on the right lines tbh. Nothing wrong with getting ideas in a thread like this, but as you say get decent tyres on it & do bedford. Then you'll form a much better opinion of what you think the car needs next.

    Cheap poly bushes

    Yes I realise this & I bet the forum appreciates it. I think I even bought a lambda sensor off you a few years back when Renault were out of stock! Agreed on "not in my interest to question CS" though

    Cheap poly bushes

    I've always wondered about this. * Roll centre correction hubs * Scorpion with flexi joint * The guy who does Recaro seat mounts * Gaz coilovers (might be wrong on this one?) All sold (not cheap ietsms!) on a regular/off-the-shelf basis by non-traders and yet CS admin pull you up on some pots...

    Differance in performance between scorpian systems?

    Only thing noticeable will be the noise. It'll be louder so you'll think it feels faster.

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    I agree, there is some marketing spiel with long words. It then goes on to explain that it should be oiled subsequently... I'm not trying to knock your thread, as I said I've had this for over a year (saw a thread on CS lol) and it's great especially considering the price. It's just they...

    Advise on New Exhaust

    The Scorpion RS192 sounds like the one for you. * Catback is £330 delivered if you catch a group buy (£360ish normally IIRC?) so it's about as cheap as stainless 182 systems come. * Genuinely not discernably louder than standard at 70mph. * Slightly louder on idle and full throttle but it is...

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    Nope, the filter arrives as dry as a sponge that's been left in the oven for an hour. Disclaimer: I bought mine (that exact filter & exact bend) over a year ago. If you're after a recommendation, ITG Dust Retention Spray is brilliant IMO. Make no mistake it needs to be done more regularly than...

    Black 1*2 - Oxford Ring Road

    Had a skoda splitter & a very clean looking front end so figured there's a reasonable chance it's been on here at some point in it's life.

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    I've had this exact bend & filter for over a year now. Lots of good points as above. Something that hasn't been mentioned... at the time of purchase these filters did not come oiled yet RAMAIR website says they require it.

    Full leather recaros from lux pack megane r26

    I'd like some Clio subframes. If they're Clio subframes (I presume Megane runners & subframes but hey), would you be interested in splitting?

    18" x 8 et 30 measurements??

    So zero offset would be 4" (101.6mm) to each face. +30mm offset means it'd be 131.6mm (101.6+30) from hub face to inner lip & 71.6mm (101.6-30) to outer lip. As with tyre sizes (where for example a Pirelli 205/45/16 can be 10mm wider than a 205/45/16 Michelin) I suspect there's a fairly big...

    Mr Christmas' Flamer Project

    There's a fair few 172s around on 04 plates. The odd one has popped up on here on something stupid like an 06 plate (background story was something like it was ordered, imported, then cancelled before it was registered, then sat at the docks for 2 years before being resold & registered) There...

    Silver 182, orange wing mirrors & gangster tints (?) - Oxford

    Don't normally post in "spotted" but I did see you, just wasn't in a position to wave back. Didn't see much of the car but it looked nice & OEM+

    Clio Rear beam Solid or Twist????

    182/172 rear beams are stiffer & wider (or is the wider rear track achieved with disk brake gubbins?) than non-sport beams. No doubt mountings are identical though so physically possible to fit either. Not sure if trolling or just getting confused between the totally different European &...

    Best way to mark tyres?

    Tyre paint pen on the sidewall is fine for short term but it goes crusty and falls off if tyres are in cold storage so write a few times around the side wall. Chalk/crayon is crap on road tyres in comparison. Works an absolute treat on 90 degree slicks though.

    Help fitting BC Racing coilovers

    Can't believe no-one has suggested just spending £10 on the right tool for the job... I'd much rather use a few pence of penetrant spray and be patient than put a few thousand miles of wear on the damper rod in 2 seconds by letting it spin around at 2000rpm with a couple of hundred impacts...

    Info needed on 172 brakes and suspension....

    You've forgotten to go around corners. You'll need to grab a wider 172 steering rack & track rod ends to match the wider track. Might then have issues with PAS pump pipe diameter, routing & fitment etc but can't comment. You'll also have to put 22 tooth non-sport ABS rings on the 172 driveshaft...
