^^^ The cups are the fastest though ;)

No, you need fully synthetic oil

Go for a cup you wont be disappointed, the twin exhausts and standard wheels are just hideous on the 182, the way forward is stealth exhaust and turinis ;)

He obviously cant drive his clio properly then, and how do you know his timing is out

Wrong! The top inlet is different on a 182, only the bottom is the same

Same power gain, basically s**t gains, and ONLY the lower inlet is the same on the 172\182, your 172 top inlet will NOT fit a 182 (well not fit properly anyway)

Listed to Fred mate ^^^^ hes a bit of a clio genius

You cant use anything like that, you need to use the correct cam locking tools, search on here about botched cam belt jobs, pages of horror stories, people going to garages who dont know what there doing and having the wrong equipment

NWP is near manchester bit to far from you i think, Craig@apd is your best bet hes in located in wales, common problems of incorrect timing is lumpy idle, cutting out e.t.c

I was quoted £50 from NWP for a timing check, that including cam caps, id be personally getting it checked if your saying the guy may have used tipex to change the belt, cant be done this way on these cars, needs specialist tools and some experience to do the job

PMSL at tipex marks, timing wayyyy out!

I had this same problem last year luckily my brother helped me out, alot of these day insurance places only insure cars under a certain inurance group, any high insurance group car you need to be over 25

Tell him how its done Fred

I never needed one but i bought one anyway, imo there well worth the money

Re: were can i get my inlets matched good but at a good price Surely the more recent posts give a better view of how things are now

Re: were can i get my inlets matched good but at a good price Read through the first few threads after searching, i got bored lol seems to be the same negative comments in each one though

Re: were can i get my inlets matched good but at a good price Im most likely way behind with things but just to clarify who is Ben? what does he do?

Re: were can i get my inlets matched good but at a good price APD stamp theres

Looks like a decent phase1 there :approve:

Re: were can i get my inlets matched good but at a good price No Craig does them himself, i have matched inlets on mine from him, very professional job

The power gains will be the same, you dont get many bhp from rs stamped inlets anyway 3bhp max, plus its always good practice to match the top and lower inlet, however the lower inlet gives the gains not the top inlet

Bit confused on what your saying but the lower inlet is all the same on the 172/182, however the top inlet is different on the 182 compared to the 172

Hammerite silver looks really good, did mine with it, brightens up the calipers a treat but not to much so it looks chavy

Should have been posted in his trader section mate ;)

I only got the £5 price from opie site, but like you said it's personal preference, and mine is only on for about 4k miles before it's changed

Hope you get sorted mate :D oh and mine has 36k miles on it :rasp:

Regular oil change = happy dephaser

Wish i was going to abu dhabi again, you will have a great time for xmas, my brother is coming back from there tonight to spend xmas over nice and sunny england :S
