Had the Clio a good going over on Saturday so I thought I'd take it to a different location for pics. We found an underground Carpark that was completely empty so we used the missus Panasonic Lumix. TBH I'm not really sure they're any good, to any budding photographers that could give me some...

Definitely worth taking back, you paid for a service and IMO didnt get the results. PDF file for geometry setups in this link http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?133900-Suspension-setup-details-for-Mk1-172-182-(cuped-and-none)-None-RS-Mk2-2-and-Mk1-V6

I guess there are places out there that do it, a job as such, but there are people less well known that have the knowledge to deal with such things. Its who you know, it might be worth taking up Northloopup's offer. Its 1 thing to set up the geometry but another thing to know the reason why...

1: I didn't think you could adjust caster on std top mounts? 2: What toe in/out did they do? Adjustment on the tie rods for that IIRC 3: If you've fitted the suspension in the pic above it looks like the top hole is elongated, you can use the OE hub bolt and still gain negative camber

Boys :D To think I still haven't met Chris in person yet, I was toying with heading up to CSS just for that reason but the weather forecast looked grim, what with a 260 mile round trip for it to be chucking down :o

Moi :) Part of a convoy of about 15 Renaults, mainly R5 GT turbos, R11 turbos heading to Blyton Park for the weekend (27-28th July) That pic was taken coming out of Birchanger services, That white R5 is an animal! 278bhp low boost, 320bhp high boost, 370bhp with gas! 11.3s quarter mile time

IIRC the 182s use the same front brake setup as the early 172s so you'll be ok. I have the F1s on my RB, admittedly they will look better if you have coilovers. I've also fitted 15mm spacers on the front to fill out the arch and 5mm on the rear

I went from 16" Turinis to 15" OZ F1s and noticed the difference straight away in that it felt better in corners, more direct. This is my opinion and what I noticed personally, yes the other plus point is cheaper tyres

K Tec carbon, bought it 2nd hand for £50 pics 006 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Fitted 15mm spacers up front to fill out the arches better, will have the OZ F1s balanced today and refit them. Thinking about getting OE anthracite wheels now

Crazy, I thought that the exhaust heat shield covered at least the 2 inner bolts on each seat.... And there was me thinking it was bad to steal the lines on train tracks...... Desperate :(

Not a fan of the wheels, Renault got it right with the F1s IMO.... Oh and no to white painting the tyre logo

Too bright for me, sticks out too much.... But if you're happy with it :) I see you took the pic under the bridge in old Leigh, I'm in need of different location inspiration in the area (I live in Thundersley) The car itself looks really clean

Sorry to be a dumbass but what does <3 mean? I understand the Lolz and PMSL just not the above (possibly showing my age here?) :o

RB 055 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Mine had the odd miss after being fixed and CLIP cleared but cleared itself out :)

Looks like you're good to go :)

If you have the 54mm spacing hubs I'd go for FK, dampers by Koni and they feel better than the Spax. Just a shame FK aren't in 'cup' 60mm. Still early days for me on Spax, I'm not saying they're bad I d prefer to have the Konigsports

And you've put both sensors in the decat and tried that? Like you say it's the process of elimination and the time doing it that's the killer

Low MPG again indicates lambda to me, if running lean the ECU would dump more fuel in? Air/fuel mixture is set so if it's outside the parameters it readjusts.... Or spits its dummy. Again I'm no expert so someone might have other ideas but above is how I'd see it? Also there's a vacuum pipe...

I first joined Cliosport in 2000, I had a black Clio 'valver' lowered, rolling on 17" TSW Venoms :D The club back then was littered with 16v models with the introduction of the Mk1 172 coming out. I think Nick and Jas ran the club back then. Ill have to dig out a pic

Does the TB have a gasket too, is that ok? Inlet manifold gaskets? Just thinking air leaks

Coolant temp sensor can throw up problems and not show up on the code readers too :o :D Are you looking into fitting the rear lambda in the decat to clear that off the list?

Doesn't the TB have to reset if it's been taken off too?

Was gonna say I thought the 182 was FBW and not cable like the Phs1 Clio 172

Well with mine it idled ok and drove ok on light throttle cruising but on full throttle it misfired slightly, rear sensor. I'd say have them tested, could try swapping them. CLIP should give you a reading on the sensors

Possibly, I'd say fit the sensor in the decat, clear the codes and try again. The ECU will IMO re learn new cycles with it hopefully running ok. No harm in giving it a go

O2 sensor

See this is what I was saying about the rear sensor, mine is fitted in the decat. When the car was cold it was spot on, as soon as it was on temp it started running badly. Apparently 182s are quite sensitive regarding anything emission related, a friend of mine worked for Renault. That damn EML...
