Hi, I managed to pull the hubs out and get the car drivable. New suspension bolts from Renault and a setup by a specialist and the car is running perfectly now. The camber was set at around 1.8 (I was aiming for 1.75) The damping seems so much better than the V-Maxx units. The ride quality...
I'm not looking to lower dramatically (if anything slightly raise) my car and I do a lot of motorway work. I want a good fast road car rather than track car. It's sounding like I'd be wasting my time buying OEM bolts and should get the Eiback camber bolts instead. What is the default camber...
Thanks to all for responding. The camber bolt on the offside has a split washer so it's not helping much anyway.
Dan - I see you have the same Bilsteins. Can you confirm they use the OEM bolts and both bolts are identical? (No camber bolts)
Also while I'm asking the rear I think I fitted...
Yes - they are both like that. I was expecting to get alignment done but I assumed it would be ok for a few miles whilst the setup beds in. I assumed swapping coilover for coilover the setting would be close enough.

Here is what I'm talking about. I think my only options are to raise the rideheight or adjust the control arms. I can't swap the bolt until next week
Hi, I installed some Bilstein Coilovers today and the install went fine. However I discovered my car was running V-maxx Coilovers already and it would appear the top suspension bolt has a cam on it which I guess is a basic camber adjustment. The bilsteins just use a regular bolt.
The bilsteins...
Hi - I used to own a trophy with the OEM system. I found it a bit quiet.
I bought a 182 with a K-Tek centreline supersports system with decat. It was way too loud combined with a K-TEk intake.
I now only run the KTek back box and the rest of the intake / exhaust is OEM. It's hugely better but...
I think these cars are ideal. Thing do break but they are so cheap and supplies so plentiful it's easy to fix. They are also at a technology level which makes maintenance possible for the most part.
I bought mine cheap and have enjoyed bringing it back to a1 condition. I feel like Ed China...
Just an idea but you could use an iPhone with dynolicious in each car to see the difference. I know the result won't be accurate but if done back to back the difference could probably be calculated in percentage terms. No idea on the solution but am watching interested as my car does not seem...
I've had another go installing the OEM map (provided by Henk) and it's taken it. However it was already tuned with the standard map. I think I already have the 98 Ron map which looks to have already been installed in the past on the ECU.
I have a replacement lambda to fit. However after putting the car back in the light went off and has stayed off. I'm wondering if it actually needs it now?
Hi, I hope someone can help here. I have a 182 which I want to mostly return to a stock state of tune. It has been remapped (think by K-Tek) in the past, or at least there is an invoice in the service history for that.
I used to own a Trophy and remapped that with the RS Tuner to the 98 ron...
I was in your boat recently and bought;
Soldering iron
'Add a circuit' fuse tap
Plug in USB and cigarette light socket extension set from pound land
Some bits too make an earth
The only hard bit is finding an earth. You could probably use fuse blocks and not solder.
I would have to say use...
Thanks - I checked the loom again and sure enough the red and yellow wires have both been cut and joined to each other. Not sure why this would have happened ?
Anyway I'll get my soldering iron out tomorrow and try to fix this.
It's got Yokohama ado8r on the front (almost new) and PS3s on the back.
The wheel does not seem to have any play in the wheel bearing but there is some wear to the top arch liner. However I'm still not sure it's either of those.
Hi, I've installed a sony mex-bt3900u which I bought from eBay. It works ok but does not remember the time and resets itself every time I use the car.
Is there a battery which can be replaced or suchlike?
It's plugged into the universal plug but should I be giving it non switched power...
Hi, I've recently come back to the fold having bought a bit of a project 182. I had a Trophy which was standard and immaculate so I'm looking forward to getting my new 182 back similar shape.
I am currently running;
K-Tec Coilovers
No front wheelarch liners
Yoko ADO8R tyres
I've intending to...
It's on high performance mode. It sees the device but can't find a driver for it. I've tried deleting the driver and re-adding but nothing seems to work. It's probably a vista thing:(
Hi, I have taken delivery of a new RStuner but I can't get the RSTuner app to see the Fastchip VCI. I think it needs a driver.
I also can't update the firmware as I get a message saying 'unable to switch Fastchip VCI to firmware update mode'
My laptop is a Sony Vaio TX series running Vista...
