Yeah you're very much right, especially with the aquaplaning. The only thing I would say (and I could be wrong with this) is that slick tyres that are designed that way have a certain amount of rubber in the same way that road tyres have tread depth and that this movement of the rubber generates...

Haha yeah so true, the contis I had on were at about 1mm before I changed them and in the dry it was oversteering on power at about 5k rpm! Just wouldn't run out of grip!

I just say to a shovel and either change, sticks or shifts haha. Lazy way. Yeah I had Nexens on the back on the MR2 Turbo and they were ok. I think I'll just go top end instead, worth the extra pennies completely. I love driving hard so it's not worth the lack of balance.

Thanks for the input guys! I just didn't expect the balance to change so much but I guess as it's such a front dependant car it should probably be expected. Are there any decent tyres that have the same grip as the top ones without the prices?

I am so confused by the explicit responses haha. Is it not correct forum etiquette? If so I apologise! Well it's nice to hear I'm not just going mad as it's such a shame. I think I might wack some PS3's on the front and let the back end try and keep up haha.

I know that sounds obvious, and I'm about to pretty much answer my own question with a yes. But can it really make that much of a difference? Basically I was running contisport 2's already as fitted by the previous owner, these were AMAZING and the car stuck like sh1t to a you know what. It...

Haha I'll keep my eye out! If she has a random bloke in an arctic 182 with Michelin stickers on the splitter that's me.

It's crazy! What colour is the twingo? I'll wave if I see her :)

Just ordered some Brembo HC front discs, Carbon Lorraine RC5+ pads, rear mintex discs with pressed bearings and abs ring and mintex rear brake pads. Excited :D

But no one says hello!! I see a 172 Cup nearly everyday, a silver 182 non cup, a silver 182 cup packed, a black cup packed 182 and I saw a GB 182 cup pack/cup also a couple of times and NON of them every wave back. Is this just a Clio RS owners thing?! I know all of you guys are ace on here but...

Hi guys, Sorry if this is the wrong section, seemed the most relevant section I could find. Does anyone else find the Clio 182 steering bloody slow? or is it just me? I find the rack ratio just crazy slow, when you're going quick it makes sense as it seems to become pretty lively but it's...

Cheers Stevie! Dude, have you seriously got 6000 posts?! Le f**k haha. Some slr pics would be awesome! Ps it looks like we swapped cars! :D

Sorry but that made me laugh :) I know what James28 meant but LOL They mean the surrounds not the lights themselves, just in case you were still wondering. :rasp:

Lovely shot up Cannock Chase...

I do know this, which is why it's tempted me, incase I don't like it. Also I'm lazy so cba to do it myself when it'd cost a fair bit just for the materials asfaik. Might just stay Anthracite though tbf as with the splitter, lights and stickers I'm already proper happy with it. Adamm.'s black...

Cheers for the lights :D made such a difference!! Stickers are a love or hate thing, only a couple and I think it's just right, maybe some bmx ones in the rear window ;) The fogs have grown on me, hated them to start with!!

True but I can have them plastidipped for £95 black...

quick photoshop (or paint.net!) of the black... I did think 15's in white, it excited me a lot but it's a more expensive option!

Not many people seem to like the elf ones but I personally like them (hence they're on there :D). Toying with going black on the standard wheels to finish it off... hmm

Hi all! Going to keep this short and sweet, bought this car on the 22/6/13, its a 182 FF with only 67k on the clock, FSH and is a lovely example that was owned by cookie_monster on here before me. Only downsides were it had lexus rear lights and no front splitter, it also has colour coded rear...

Nice one, cheers! hmm maybe i won't be too jealous then ;)

Awesome, cheers matey! ps hopefully i don't get jealous if i do come and get them with you having a gordini/racing blue 182 as thats what i'd have ideally had :p

If you could that'd be really appreciated :) they are ph2 rear lights and not ph1? cheers Will

Hi Matey, Thanks for the quick reply and the offer, that's very kind! I'm in Lichfield in the Midlands so actually might well be worth it. Without sounding picky what condition are they in? Cheers, Will

Hi all, Just a quick q, I've looked as much as I can and I can't see a difference, but are the clio 182 rear lights the same as all clios of the same years? Bought the car last month and it has chrystal lights on the back :dead: and I'm about to order some standard replacements so want to...

Woohoo i own a 66k 182 ff. :D just a few touches initially and a bit of tlc including an aux belt coming due but other than that, bargain and very happy!! And yeah lichfield as Ste said, local Bmxers unite! Lol

I'll hopefully become a 182 owner on saturday! An ff that needs a little tlc and then it'll be spot on! First time i've ever wanted to turn a car 100% oem! :o

5858 posts Stevie!?!?! I know you've had clio's a long time but wow haha :p ​oh and hi dude!

Thanks for the warm welcomes! MX5 has gone so now saving for a 182, can't wait!

Hello! Firstly hi, my names Will and I'm a caroholic. Secondly I don't own a cliosport yet but I'm getting closer to owning one pending the sale of my MX5! Thirdly I look forward to getting to know everyone! Cheers, Will :clown:
