Sky will mirror my NCB and will cover me for £380 with a low mileage usage (I was quoted £325 for my Z4 recently, for 12k miles), if i was to only tax for 8 months of the year, that'd be approx £580, so £48 a month. or £680 for the year and £56 a month I do really like the Z4, and it suits my...

I'm going to phone a few insurance companies up i think and see what they can offer. I've only really checked online quotes, and reducing the mileage to around 2k a year, didn't make any noticeable difference. But a proper limited mileage policy may be a good option as in reality i'll not have...

I guess the issue is the insurance really, like i said it cost me £500 at Greenlight and Sky previously, and has been going up slightly. Though mileage will be reduced big time if i keep it so maybe that'll make a difference. Crazy how these are so expensive to insure really. I can insure my...

My 182's been up for sale since i bought myself a Z4 about 2 months ago. I've pulled the RS2 off (Sold), the Treadline seat out, and will be selling off the wheels to put standards back on. But i took the car out last night for a quick spin, and now i really am having second thought about...

I've just sold my RS2, and to be honest I wouldn't bother with another one again. The gains are so little for the money you're paying, mine mapped to 185bhp with approx 150 ft/lb torque, the torque curve was pretty flat which is good for a daily driver, but you lose top end torque as a...

Thanks for the help

Excellent, so I just need to attach the servo into number 2. The others can be blocked off.

I've pulled off the RS2 today, but didn't manage to get finished due to the rain. Anyway, the RS2 only had the two sensors attached, and a single breather from the underside. This runs back to the rear of the engine and into the bulkhead. Looking at the original 182 inlet, i've got three...

Fall off I guess

Just trying to help solve the performance issue on these for you, so that you can rid your regret for not owning one. In reality it makes no sense, you'd probably end up throwing £10k at it to get it reliable at 300bhp. I had a 2.0 tdi Jetta between my two 182's, that i had a hybrid turbo and...

Take one to Darkside Developments and they'll get 300+bhp out of it. Not much will keep up with it then.

To be honest i think it's a great spec for the money i'm asking for, and if i was looking for a clio i'd be all over it. haha But the RS2 isn't something that's talked about on here much anymore, and generally people that are interested already have a Clio. I would much rather it sold...

Just looking for the simplest solution that allows me to remove the RS2 to be honest. I'm thinking a more standard car at a lower price will be easier to sell. People wanting power much above standard seem to go boost these days generally, and there are plenty of boosted clio up for sale...

I'd read this before, probably why i've got it in my head that the ecu may be locked on mine by RS Tuning. If i'm going to pull the RS2 off mine and put it back to standard, i need to be spending as little as possible putting it back to standard for it to make since. So going to EFI for a...

Locking the ecu following the RS Tuner remap makes sense. I just didn't want to have any issues once i'd put it back to standard and tried to switch the mapping over using the box

My car has a custom remap to suit the RS2, but i'm considering removing it and putting the car back to standard. Obviously i'll need the mapping changed once complete to either the standard map or a remap. Cheapest option looks to be the RS Tuner, as i'll be able to buy a second hand unit...

I can't imagine the sparco's being much different to be honest. I definitely found the driving position better with the clubsports, but had the X-low subframes from Jon Foz again. These are about as low as you can go really. The recaro lowering frames are about 30-40mm lower than standard. I...

If you can get up to Nottingham they normally have the R100 in stock, so can try them out in store before buying. Best to arrange a time with them though, as if they've already got a customer walking around they might not let you in. I sat in them briefly in store and didn't find them very...

I've not seen power that high before using a RS2/SM inlet, are you saying you're just running wilder cams and a SM inlet to achieve that? To be honest with the info in the other thread, which i think you've posted, i'm wondering if it's worth ditching the RS2 and just running 197 cams, seems to...

I'll probably end up getting another Scenic shifter in the end and just bending it back a little further to suit, seems to be more available. I can't justify spending £330 on the PMS shifter, plus whatever the balance weight cost on top, when all i'm after is a better position that a £50 scenic...

Another potential customer here.... I'm running a RS2 inlet at the minute on standard timing, mapped by RS Tuning, peak power was 185bhp, with a nice flat torque spread at around 150ftlb. Would love to get closer to 195bhp with 170+ftlb of torque. Think my belts are due early next year, so...

That looks better than the PMS version, being silver instead of gold. Shame they don't seem to be sold anymore. Nice seats by the way. :smile:

I'm interested in the shifter too mate

My front pads are about ready for changing again now. The OEM Brembo pads lasted surprising well at Donington Park for a track day i did in November last year, only noticed brake fade starting a few times, but was trying to manage the number of hot laps i did back to back most of the day...

Can you still get the BMS shifter? I'd probably consider one of these over the scenic shifter just for the looks. To be honest i thought i needed to lower the column once i added the 60mm wheel spacer, but i've gotten used to it now and it seems about right. I'm expecting the trendlines to be...

Well last week I'd decided i was going to sell it on and buy something a bit more sensible again, mainly because of the seating position causing me lower back discomfort. Started looking around at 123d and 330d coupes, R56 cooper S, Z4 3.0 Golf GTi, etc. Then friday i had a quick look on ebay...

Plenty of places that will do powder coating pretty cheap. I've refurbed wheels in the past myself and have had mixed results. For the time and risk of them turning out rubbish I don't think it's worth the hassle over a cheap powder coating. Using decent primer, paint, lacquer, filler, sand...

I fitted a set of standard Brembo pads to my 182 about a year ago, I've now done 10k miles on them. That includes a full day (2 full tanks of fuel) at donington park doing up to 4-6 laps followed by a cooling down lap, before going again. I stopped out for almost an hour at the end of the...

I don't think the clio needs more power, certainly not on the road anyway. I guess on track is a little different if you want to compete with M3's etc down the straights, but that isn't what the clio is about I've always preferred N/A over turbo, but the cost to power/torque gain isn't worth it...
