Awaiting new coilovers, these are seized so i can't adjust the ride height. It's not often you see these about so i bought them. The thing thats putting me off using them is having to refurb them, i've done 3 or 4 sets already and not sure i want to go through doing it all again :o
The other...
The glass on the foglight cracked so i popped down to the local Renault breaker to buy another, Lagunas use the same light so i took 1. As i went to walk out i saw these stacked up in the corner :D
TBH i don't know if 'll keep them but thought they'd be better off at home than the scrapyard...
I told you the RB is in good hands ;)
I wish I kept them but needed the coilovers, something had to go...... Toying with anthracite 2118s now
Love the Nurburgring pics Lewis, it's right at home there :)
RB 182 with stripes and white wheels. On the mountainbike and rode past this as it sat on a driveway on an unmade road behind the SEEVIC college, Thundersley.
A few people did take pics of it, it was the only 182 there and over the 4 days didn't see any other 182s on the roads in France and Belgium. I saw a couple of phase 1 Clio 172s that was it.
Love it, RB sticks out like a sore thumb.... In a good way :D
They do this car show every year and is open to most marques of Renault, copy and pasted from the french link below
This years event is the sixth consecutive the SANGLIERS ARDENNAIS has been held for the Belgian and French Renault Owners who live in the Ardennes near Sedan and is open to all...
Spot on, gearbox is great....Spax coilovers arrive in the next week... It's so nice to drive, and out of the 4 Clios I've owned this 1 has AC! Such a novelty!
Was just right, the driving wasn't overbearing, the views en route to all locations were stunning. Bar the EML light coming on 45 miles out of Calais the RB performed superbly averaging 38.9mpg over the 4 days
I imagine some of us belong to more than 1 car club :o before Clios i was into R5 GT Turbos for a few years and still belong to RTOC :o
The french have a club also dedicated to all things turbo like the 5,9,11, Gordini so we decided to head over to see what it's all about. So a 4hr drive from...
It's more the sustained level of noise for long periods of time driving the car, the link below shows what happens between 90-95dB
I knew the exhaust was loud but wasn't expecting it to be hitting mid 90s
Environmental Noise
Weakest sound heard
0dB
Whisper Quiet Library at 6'
30dB...
Ok, so this bank holiday was the first time I've given the Clio a proper drive. We did 876 miles in 4 days and to be honest the only thing that was on the negative side was the noisy exhaust. I believe I have a Milltek exhaust and decat, so on the way home the missus downloaded a decibel reading...
That'll be me the new owner, heading to Folkestone to catch the Eurotunnel. Just got back from a 4 day, 876 mile euro trip in France and Belgium. Spent the Saturday at a French car club national show with a 100 mile blast through the Ardennes region, Sunday and today in Spa and a visit to...
Taken a dodgy rear GAZ damper off and swapped it with an ok unit, the insert was loose so the damper was knocking on the lower bolt

I did a set of OZ F1 wheels in a Ford shade of grey, they looked good under strip lighting but in natural daylight had a heavy tinge of purple. Is the colour literally Ford graphite grey, there were a few Ford greys when I tried to choose a colour
The offer at £560 is on until next Friday, I spoke to them today and if they have a set in stock on the Monday they will be sending me a set via courier. The chap on the phone couldn't confirm as he doesn't have dealings with the offe.
Are these the same Spax coilovers sold by 519?
£560, i'd also be seriously tempted to purchase a set too. I have the 60mm hubs (the bain of my life!) and been trying to work out the cheapest way to get a decent setup
Dave, feel free to PM but whats the damage for H&R coilovers?
