I got mine from here, was the cheapest I could find at the time but someone said they'd seen them for just over £130 on another thread, didn't specify where though. http://ears.co.uk/motorsport/anti-roll-bars/4031-whiteline-brr10z-anti-roll-bar-18mm-clio.html

Yep, those are the ones. Finally got the decat and ARB fitted yesterday. The decat seems pretty good, feels like I've lost a tiny bit of low down grunt but gained an equally tiny bit at the top end which I'm happy with. It's definitely improved the sound, I think the word is "fruitier" ;) The...

It might not be throwing a fault code as such but the angle sensor could be returning a bad value for the position. Can that code reader report the sensor value? If not you might need to get it onto a CLiP to see what the sensor is reporting.

Another vote for a Snappy retrim if you want to keep the wheel, the quality of the work is absolutely brilliant.

Bloody hell, that was wet! I'll be at brands on the same rubber in a week or two - haven't decided which day to go for yet but if it's not dry I think I'll leave the road tyres on. Only got 2mm of tread on two of the AD08s and don't fancy that on standing water :)

I see where you're coming from there for sure. They're rally/autocross wheels really so are designed to keep stones out of the brakes while still offering plenty of cooling. The previous owner tracked his cup with them on so I should be fine. The angle of the original pic probably didn't help...

I had that, terrible idle, flashing emissions light, cleared itself up under load. It was an injector on mine too. Best get the codes read and see if it points you at a specific cylinder.

I hear conflicting things about the decat pipe - some people say it gives better response and a few more bhp, some say it just improves the responsiveness, some say it does nothing for performance at all. Everyone agrees it will be noisier :) I'd be surprised if a Milltek with the silencers...

This little lot should make a difference on the next track day :)

Well my "solution" doesn't need any buttons, PCBs or wiring, just some cable ties and not giving a monkeys about how it looks :)

:) Yeah, everything's relative. We test drove a few Clios when shopping for my wife's and the GT felt like a rocket ship after trying a couple of 1.2s. We'd still have it now had it not been written off.

Yeah it's the same engine as the Twingo. Performance is..... better than the 1.2 ;) Seriously though it's no hot hatch but does at least have better shocks on it than the standard cars. Much less roll and better control through the corners.

Interesting, the wife's did that as well, was pissing water all over the engine and I strongly suspect that's what killed the coil packs so early. They went at about 30k miles.....

I'm 6'3" and only have a 32"/regular inside leg measurement so I'm very long in the body. I fit fine with a helmet on now the plastic mounts have been removed from under the standard seat but probably the most important change was replacing the standard steering wheel. The combination of the...

Like the look of those a lot. What else would you have to do to improve the brake cooling, do the wheel arch liners need modifying/removing? Would a bit of ducting be a good idea or would they be OK as-is?

The missus used to have one of those in Black, nice car once we got the coilpacks changed so it would run properly. Always felt it was a good chassis crying out for more power, still fun on the right road though. Sadly some arsehole parked their van in the back of it and wrote it off :(

If you wanted top money for it then yes it would put me off, if it was priced realistically and the car drove well with plenty of evidence that it had been looked after recently then no I wouldn't care.

I was told as long as the rest of the suspension is in good nick a rear ARB is the single best mod you can do in terms of the improvement for the cost. Hope it's true, because mine is on the way ;)

That's a 172 cup though, ET 35 on that is only a couple of mm difference from stock, would be 10mm on the 182 which is why I was a bit concerned. I've got my eye on a slightly unusual set in ET40, I'll post back if I get them. Lovely looking car :)

Ah the infamous yellow peril. Don't knock the saloons :D They're lighter and a lot stiffer than the estate with a lower centre of gravity too. They make surprisingly good performance cars with a few mods. I used to use Russ all the time to work on my T5 and never had a problem with him...

Great, thanks Joe. I knew what the offset meant, just wasn't sure if I was going to end up fouling the arches. I may go for coilovers later if I keep this car long term, but again it doesn't sound like I'll have an issue as long as I don't drop it too much. Cheers, John

OK I understand the concept of offsets, and I know the 182 Cup runs ET45 as standard. What I've not been able to find out is if it's going to be a problem if I go to ET35 or ET 40. I'm looking for a set of 15" wheels for track use, probably running 195 width tyres in 55 or 50 profile. The main...

Very nice :)

Rebecca looks mature because she's 56 years old :) If you think she looks good you should see Bonnie/Patricia McPherson these days, incredible. Great thread, I was a huge KR fan when I was growing up, I don't think it's aged well at all but the car is still an amazing creation and OP your...

T50 I've had my wheel off about six times in the last couple of months :)

Thanks for all the feedback. Still not quite sure what I'm going to do but I'll certainly avoid cheap coilovers.

Odd question maybe, but here goes. I've modded a few cars in the past and enjoyed the extra grip and better handling, but sometimes that has come at the expense of fun/involvement. I'm completely in love with the level of feedback I get from my well worn 182 but I know if I refresh the...

You guys are way too anal :D Seriously though, I might get mine mounted properly after taking inspiration from this thread.....

If it's the same as my sound bar the ARC from the TV connects to the HDMI out on the sound bar. I don't use the HDMI in on the sound bar at all, but if I wanted an audio only link to it that's how I'd do it according to the manual. It seems arse-about-face to me, but it does work.

Nice job :)
