Who made the coilovers that the big thing to remember the kit 1 sounds like most type the second sounds like the AST or the racer cup setup (unlikly as that unusable on the road). SPend a forutne or not at all H and R are very good and worthwhile

Springs are different even on similar engine spec etc. Price wise not worth much at all realy unless someoen broke one (does happen) or swops back to stock and cannot find there old ones.

Buy some decinet tyres do a search for recomendations.

The rear springs seating welded up brackets are different.

The Mk2 none RS cars 99% of the time (bar a few ie early 1.2 16V and 1.2 8V) use the bigger 259mm setup same as the williams and 1.8 16V and there newer and more common so better conditin often. Stock brakes arn't that bad though just check them for wear etc and chnage as needed fluid makes a...

Stupid double posting..

For anyhting you should spend a fortune or forget it and replace with just new stuff. If you chnage your springs for anyhting should chnage the shocks but there few decient sets out thers so keep to stock unless your've got other good reason not to.

Best on the back always its improved braking and control as well (tested by magazine/tyre manurfacturers some have a guess people on here).

Lad stopped there Renault selling a while back I think.

Depends hwo bad it is in theory at worst could end up in your death when the wheel/hub come loose.

Stock OE are only £45 or so list price wise. There supposed to be built to stanard spec but I don't rate them at all. then again I don't rate much of there stuff realy at the low price end,

Cool love to know what type your looking at as your engine a bit of a monster spec realy. Not sure what box he runs but I guess he has a better choise as there a bit more space.

Gearbox is rubish in stock form (pk6) hence why Mike changed I belive the box will tear itself to shreds in time with loads of torque through it the phase 2 was better but not much. Its still quite heavy though I belive.

Glad you like it DOn't personaly see the point buying and running so manay cars but hey each to there own.

The 182 cup was a cup price cut spec 182 with the cup packs as standard it had to keep abs for the EU laws and it sold well. I don't understand why you think its a marketing exerscise all cars are at th end of the day.

Yep but why. CHeck about speedo sensors though you might need a box with sensor so get the right one if the box has the sensor its not an issue if it does or dones't but if you get a box which does't have it your car needs wiring mods to make it work otherwise.

5 or 10 weight oil are fine 10 is ok donw to -20 though wheras 5 weight is ok down to -25 its better to use 5 though on choice.

As per your other thread (was there need for 2?) Imobiliser won't cause it to go into limp mode. Sounds like a coil has definatly gone new ones on the 1.6 are £43 each from Renault list price but they can be got cheaper for copy cat parts. Once you've got the coils chnaged might...

Imobiliser won't cause it to go into limp mode. Sounds like a coil has definatly gone new ones on the 1.6 are £43 each from Renault list price but they can be got cheaper for copy cat parts. Once you've got the coils chnaged might need to get a garage to clear all the fauly codes in the...

There no easy answer if it were me I'd get a phase 1 looms and swop all the wiring for the phase 1 and use the 182 engine and get a Cup belt system so you can run the simple aux belt setup. But there loads of ways round the issues.

Forget it for the gains on stock engine do a search its been discussed before.

Have you not read the thread?

As jon said check the winhbones also top mount, engine mounts and top bearings can be wonky. Check the wheels ballencing has been done check the tracking and then bearings you can tell if them though jack the car up and check for play/spin them. Then check check driveshafts

£45 ish i think get your cheacked at the dealership though. There not coded so can be swopped from one car to another so if you have a good mate with another Mk2 clio then ask if you can swop there easy enough to do. Why fiddel with the UH but if you did then you might have fiddled with the...

£60 ish for the disks IMO I always chnage disk and pads at once. pads each to there one but I find there fine especaily on 172 for most drivers with good fluid. But there always green stuff or ds2500 but there more expensive etc. Braided lines yep its an option if you want to then go for...

COuld be a damaged/swet UCh or the wiring to the door is damaged need to start stripping more bits down have you got a multimeter an handy with electris? if so I'll find out which wires on the UCH power the window and work the drivers switch (could be thats which is at fault as it runs the...

You cannot go wrong you don't need to woryy check the wipers are low down and check there postion then undo them (one nut in the center of the pivot point) them pull them off then undo the scuttle panel cover and have a look.

Its so it will stosp them breaking all over the track but for modern cars it down't matter hence why mot places don't bother trying to impose a outdated law.

Holly is right you should have a road legal type and there very few which are but arguing if you can use them I don't see as an issue if you've all the mods declaired and a garage fits the ECU then its the fauly for not checking even if you do it yourself I don't see any issue with insurance...

Just get one from Renault IMO you cna get them cheap enough £100 ish from memory for the 172 ones.
