So i've been looking at the majority of coilover kits currently available for the 182 and its almost impossible to find technical information on any of them.
Does anybody know the spring rates etc for the current coilover kits on the market? I.e H&R, Gaz, KW, Weitec, Bilstein, KTR, Spax, Koni...
I'm pretty handy with photoshop but can't for the life of me get this too look right!
Wondered what it would look like with black bumpers and side strips!
I've been using CL RC5+ and i'm very impressed, by far the best pad i've used so far. Fine for daily driving (although pulling up slowly at some lights squealing really loud is slightly embarrassing), and they only started to go slightly off after 30mins of heavy abuse on track.
Are the RC6 a...
Paul, i assume you were the sunflower parked 2 cars from mine in the main carpark, although you probably didn't see mine as it was hidden by a people carrier!
Shame about the turn out, thought us brits are tougher than that :p
It does this quite often:
Yeah pretty much just stripping, only thing inside the car is the dash and two bucket seats. Lighter wheels and exhaust too. I kept spinning up at 5k+ in 2nd up to 3rd, worn track tyres in greasy conditions aren't the best :rasp:
I think this is where i make some...
Hi :race:
I posted this up on PH, didn't expect you too be an old CS member :cool:
Car is not standard, 190bhp and down to 986kg. Was surprised you were keeping up at first (as i thought the R was 210bhp for some reason!) but turns out its 261bhp and we have almost an identical bhp/tonne...
Might have to dig out the DSLR and bucket and take some photos, would be nice to be in it 2 years running :)
Edit: Oh and if magpies car isn't in the calender, i'll find every copy and burn it :hail:
Are these gen1 2118's or mags? If the latter i wouldn't run them on a road car!
Would also be interested in the centre caps if you decide to make some more, money waiting! :)
Haha my bad, I struggle to pay attention when someone in an actual RS clio flashes, nevermind a UPS van! :p
Do something more obvious next time, maybe a handbrake turn and a wave? Was it in findon again?
Wondering how much the car is worth at the moment, spec is as followed:
04 plate 182 FF - 72k miles, Cams, full service + all belts + dephaser done at 70k
MOT 04/13 - TAX 10/12
190bhp & 162ftlb
Interior
--4 Point Cage
--OMP 330mm Corsica + Momo Hub
--Cobra Imola Pro Carbon Fibre
--Sparco Corsa...
Quick video from saturday, sorry about the angle, i need to get a ball head for my gopro :p
I've rotated it as much as possible without cutting the important stuff out, its not too bad if you stick it in HD and full screen :)

Car felt a lot quicker today, not sure if cams need settling in or not (?), or maybe the new map took a few days to settle in, but it certainly felt a lot more lively.
My exhaust bracket broke its weld on sunday so i had it welded back up today for £20, barg. Started on the door cards on...
I killed a set of ds2500 after 10k miles and 2 track days, god knows how you have made them last that long! :rasp: I also got fade after 25-30mins on track with the DS2500, won't know what the RC5+ are like on track until august, but on the road there is already a noticeable difference between...
Had the car over at ktec on tuesday for 438 cams, remap, mini service and full cambelt kit! After the first dyno when it came in, the car was running fairly well (already had it remapped with rstuner) and made 176bhp on the ktec rollers. I previously had it dyno'd else where and it made...
Got some more bits through the post...
New pair of wishbones ready for stripping & painting, tack the shells in and then put the polybushes in. For £15 it made much more sense to get another pair, than take my car off the road for over a day to install the bushes into my current wishbones...
Braved the rain today to get this fitted ready for the car going into ktec on tuesday for some 438 cams and a remap. After lots of trimming, cutting and bending i finally got the filter to fit. Not sure if the catch tank is staying where it is, when it goes into ktec they are going to try and...
Not many photos this time round i'm afraid. Not much has happened, just general servicing and fixing stuff for the last few months! Few little mods here and there.
Got some new brembos and CL RC5+ pads (which are mental good btw) and flushed the pipes with super blue dot4
Removed the final...
