    Cup Turinis en route... help me with what colour to refurb them on my 172 berg?

    Although not turinis I had anthracite wheels on my old iceberg, think it is the best colour wheel to have on an iceberg really contasts the silver

    What to ask?

    History and receipts are everything, the more the better. Personally I would spend as much on the car as you can, there is no point trying to polish a turd!

    Pure Motorsport strutbrace help

    Thanks for your reply, I did place the order through the check a while before that but if it didn't process at your end till 11:50 then I do appologise. As for the fitting guide, I did have problems with the centring part. I followed the guide to use the brace to mark the holes. I centred the...

    a question from someone who has no idea

    Certainly sounds like a Cambelt change. Find the receipt and see how much it cost, should be around £500+

    Pure Motorsport strutbrace help

    Was thinking of doing this but not sure if it would work/ be safe/ cause excess movement. Might pm dan see if he could make to rings to fit undernear.

    Pure Motorsport strutbrace help

    Well I used the guide to drill the holes and it was slightly out. Then had to do it the another way to make them right. Yeah I do get they are Motorsport orientated but still think it's a flaw. Don't really see it as being done to save weight, could save more weight by driving with no shoes...

    Pure Motorsport strutbrace help

    Sorry was a bit vague. They do look well built, but I as a whole thought the finish of the mounts was average. The brace looks good just annoying it fouls a standard part on most these cars. As for the fitting guide, hmm it's not really great. Kind of skims over the process, plus the method...

    Pure Motorsport strutbrace help

    Yeah the only way I could get it to possibly fit would be cutting the cover over the holes. Might look for a cheap broken engine cover to experiment. Just annoying as they only needed to raise it 1cm at most to clear it. In all I am happy with the handling upgrade, however the delivery, fitting...

    Pure Motorsport strutbrace help

    Bit of a weird question but does anyone have the pm top mount+ brace kit and managed to fit their engine cover. I don't mind modding it to fit, but from what I can see its right over the back mounting bolts. I know I'll get people say its for handling not looks etc, but spent a lot of time...

    Check this thread might help as he had the same problem with the top hat http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?590074-Fitting-VMAXX-Coilovers-to-a-182&highlight=Coilover Try dropping the car on the deck then tighten the top hat as there should be a gap.

    Cooksport Spring Rate?

    Yes they are defiantly an improvement over standard and still have a good ride quality. However I believe there is a few weeks wait on new stock atm, so might be worth considering prolines.

    What to spend £500+ on a Trophy?

    Just to throw it in the mix, if your looking to upgrade the handling a bit maybe consider some solid top mounts

    Changed springs have I messed it up ??

    Hi mate, glad you like the springs. As you say check the haven't twisted round, they will normally seat fine if they have a bit, but equally it can make the top cap slip off the spring causing it to sit at a slant.

    Camskill- no Toyo's ????

    I liked my prox 4 and T1Rs. If you looking for and alternative stay clear of rainsports, IMO they are crap! Edit: have you tried ears.co.uk as they sell toyo

    remap with v-power in the tank

    Dont think anyone is trying to attack you personally so chill out. They are just making a point that Ktec seem to over exaggerate their power claims. Almost 195 bhp seems a bit high for your mods as most people running rs2/itb only make that or slightly more. As for the remap, I have the rs...

    Help me freshen up my 182

    As above however I would also sugest a whiteline rarb. I know it's not factory but will really improve the handling without compromising and of the factory ride quality. And if your not worried about a bit more bumpy ness then maybe look for solid top mounts if your going to replace them.

    Cup shocks vs Koni yellow on Cooksports.

    Well you could get my setup a few posts above for about the same price as gaz coilovers, which will handle better than the Gaz and still keep it driveable around town.

    Cup shocks vs Koni yellow on Cooksports.

    My main problem is koni new are over double the price of cup shocks, so really need to justify if the offer a big enough improvement over the cup shocks

    Cup shocks vs Koni yellow on Cooksports.

    Makes sense if it's mainly a road car. I have cup shocks, cooksports, pure Motorsport top mounts + strut brace and whiteline rarb. Only cost a bit more than budget coilovers and handles brilliantly. Also comfy enough to go over speed bumps without braking your back.
