FMIC will keep charge temps down, but with OE power you will be fine with a top mount as long as you aren't doing prolonged WOT. Pretty sure the v4\5\6 top mount is a relatively straight forward and cheap upgrade.

this thread may be useful too :) http://bbs.scoobynet.com/members-gallery-5/948154-well-i-think-ive-finally-found-a-decent-rays-volk-bronze-paint.html

sorry only just noticed this!

It is a serviceable part but I could only get one direct from, Renault at a staggering £43 :( It does include a new surclip fro the tri-lobe bearing though...anyways part number if anyone is interested; 77 01 209 884

biggest change in the way the the car feels is from the classic to bug but less so in the until you get to the hatch...

its an NA so 230 iirc its from a 90's coupe Subaru built called the SVX...the engines require a decent chunk of work to make the boostable, but there are a few around now. Andy Forrests' being the most well know, Simon Roe (Jolly Green monster), has one and Matty B (subaru breaker mentioned...

Cheers for reply, weird as I was able to buy the boot separately...in fact let me rephrase that; f**k you f**king car :D I'll be needing a n/s driveshaft walking distance from Chelmsford in Essex then :(

I have a small split so bought a replacement boot from GSF, got to this point and am a little stuck...I'm guessing remove hub nut to free up both ends and remove it that way. Thinking I fooked up as I don't have a pneumatic boot stretcher either...so perhaps a new drive-shaft as those tools...

just refurbished a set of F1s and painted them Mazda 11b...a light bronze, I love them on my RB...do it :)

Lovely unmolested phase I car...even with the optional rims, great buy :)

a few recent ones of mine...gearbox and diff in. long engine pretty much done. even cleaned it and stuck it in the garage, poor old thing!

7k redline on non-sti and 8.2k on stis...more aggressive cam profile (v3 most aggressive iirc), uprated buckets and lifters to allow for the higher rev limit...head castings are identical. That Type R has a nasty splitter too :)

here's mine at Snetterton 300 a few weeks back...been lurking a while but not posted any photos :)

Cup packed cars have a 60mm gap between the stut to hub bolt holes...

yeah there is a hell of alot of that...just stick to the projects forum and you are OK :) Easiest way to confimr would be to get the reg checked at a Renault dealer, they can tell you the car specs when built.

Are you on scabbynet? decat and ITG Maxogen works for decent noise...more bhp is expensive, just buy a RS Tuner and slap an 98RON map on it...enjoy :)

Three at Snetterton 300...I was driving Miss Dasiy in the RB with chronic brake fade :dead::D Ian

go drive them both, it will have you looking for a classic :)

I bought a pair from mytryes.co.uk for £128.80 delivered on Monday :)

wid fire of course.

landfill would be more appropriate.

182 is not outdated from a driving perspective in the least, do you just mean you want something 'snazzier' to show off in?

Re: My Inferno Orange 182 Project Thread - Fast Road/Occasional track day car.... such a tease...get those rims on the car and post some pics :D

replaced the air con compressor after the original seized and tried to set light to the car...arch liners are there for a purpose ejiits.

thanks chaps...the smaller jubilee did work it was still tight though. Danny its a GSF part, matched the serials and size to the old belt...I'd imagine it would have been a little easier with a slightly longer belt.

no worries, will just buy the smaller size and see if that does the trick...thanks again.

yeah, I had it facing the front of the car...which size do people use normally Chip, if the 90-120 is too large the next size down is 70-90...does that sound right?

I think the jubilee could be too large...Ive checked everything else. I'll try ans source an alternative and have another go at it...cheers Chip :)

bttt for this thread...I'm stuck and have about enough; compressed the tensioner with a 90-120mm jubaliee but can't get belt on the altanator pulley despite undoing the top alternator fitting and loosening the 16mm as suggested by Fred. Am I being an impatient fecker or can I set light to it in...

My gearbox has just be serviced there...good lads that know what they are doing and one of the only PPG trained\qualified bods in the UK :)
