I'm using 300mm discs so it's all good

Just wondering has anyone tried these brackets? I'm in the process of buying all the parts for my Brembo conversion and just randomly stumbled across them the other day. https://50cnc.com/product/brembo-calipers-brackets-for-clio-172182/

What are people using to attach the Nimbus heat shield to the bulkhead? From what I remember from removing the old factory sound deadening stuff, there wasn't any threaded holes, it was just plastic clips or rubber bungs or something holding it on.

I'll might try and see if I can grab a set if upgraded bulbs don't give me the desired result

Ah, that's HIDs out then, Maybe upgraded bulbs would be a better option, I'll have a look at the Osram Nightbreakers. I had cleaned them up a while back as they were all cloudy, they looked better, cant say it did much for brightness though. The Xenons do look way better then the standard...

The headlights on my 172 Cup are shockingly bad, might as well drive round with my eyes shut at night, would make zero difference. I need to sort something out, I was going to just get a set of Xenons from a 172/182 but I'm not sure about all the carry on with MOTs and washers and self levelers...

@STEVE.M I know ,I know, but tbh I didnt look at the seller. Even the Powerflex website says "The prices shown on our website are per bush" but cheers for clearing that up

Cool thanks, no I did think that but there's so many places say that the kit comes with '1 bush' This is the reply I got: "Just a quick follow-up. We can confirm that this is only 1 bush. If there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know and I’ll be happy to help" Hence my...

Hi, bit of an odd question, but can someone that has bought Powerflex steering rack bushes confirm if you get 1 or 2 bushes in the pack? I've spoke to multiple companies now, some say its 1 bush, some say its 1 kit so 2 bushes. I need them ASAP as I have my MOT on Monday and I'm not getting a...

Does anyone know what happened to Speedina that made the custom dials? Looks like he did some really nice work and I wanted some dials off him, but he just seems to have disappeared. Facebook and website are both gone.

Got new ball joints so not bothered about damaging it

Sledgehammer? :)

@Coops Mk1 @Brigsy tried both of these for a good hour, wouldn't budge, ill get myself a fork and see how i get on with that

I saw a couple of sizes when i was looking about. I've got a decent sized lump hammer which will do the trick

Cool, fork it is, yeah I have new wishbones to go on with the ball joints attached so I don't care if i damage the ball joints, they've already been on fire. They've already felt the full force of my hammer but they haven't budged. Any specific size of fork or will any do the job?

I was changing my wishbones at the weekend but my ball joints are stuck, I got the pinch bolts out which were an absolute nightmare, but cant budge the ball joints, I need a splitter but don't know which type to go for, does anyone know if I'm better off with a fork type or the threaded...

Just from having a quick look yesterday, they look like they would snap if i tried to take them out, the nuts look pretty bad as well, but I can give them a go. Nah I've just bought new wishbones, and got polybushes for my ARB as my current ones are pretty shot

Ok, so apparently they are still available, but they're £10 each, any know if other bolts of the same size will do the job?

Finally got all the parts to get on with this now, had a look yesterday to see what I've got to contend with...The bolts that join the shock to the hub don't look great, anyone know if you can still get these anywhere, or worth swapping the top 2 for camber bolts?

@imprezaworks no I’m not doing many miles in it, it’s just turned into a weekend toy now and the occasional commute to work when the daily has no fuel in it. I’ll look into inner tie rods, I don’t think they’ve been replaced. Just going to bit the bullet and get new wishbones

Cheers @ZachB Yeah I was going to get OEM wishbones. Seen the ones on eBay for £30 for a pair, would rather they didn’t snap when I’m going round a corner. Was only going to change the ARB because my other one looks a bit tatty, but it’s still perfectly functional. I’ll look into solid...

Hi guys I’m going to re do the suspension on my 172 cup soon. I’ve got new front shocks to go on, rear shocks we’re changed not long ago and are still in decent condition. Got a set of cooksports coming next week as well, and I’m going to get some new top mounts (undecided on OEM or solid) I’m...

Got home from work to find a puddle under my car, there were some drops of coolant around the bottom radiator hose, but no where near enough to drain the tank. I've filled it back up, ran the engine for a bit and a couple of drops came out, but barely anything. I left a tub under the car it over...

It's them coolant thieves! I'll have a through check when i get home later

I'll check around all the new hoses again to see if there's any leaks, already checked 3 times, pretty sure there is't

So it's just coincidence that this has only started happening since i changed the coolant system?

I've had some developments with this..... I re bled the system as suggested before and it seemed OK, but my cars been off the road for a few weeks, due to waiting for parts, painting stuff, etc. I've been driving it for the past few days and it was running fine, temps were all OK. Checked my...

Never had an EML, I've lived with it for like a year and a half, just more curious to what it was more than anything, seems like its nothing to worry about though

Remap was my next thought

Fuel consumption is fine, I can get 46mpg on the motorway It's got new spark plugs as well, fo got to mention that, not changed the injectors. Nah I've been swapping stuff gradually anyways, pretty much all that stuff needed replacing, a lot of it had been on the car for 16 years
