Tried to do a search but cant really come up with an answer, and I have a feeling that's because its going to be one of those hard to chase could be anything faults however, the 182 brakes just don't feel very good, little bite to them, the car still stops still but they just don't 'feel' as...

Well, hit the benchmark last night on way home from work The cars just clocked 118k miles and after speaking to Andy @makavelli who had the map put on, it was done around the 18k mark many moons ago as such, Paul @RSTuning good job on the map, 100k and the engines running sweet as a nut...

somethings got to give, its just not practical but I just can't stop ;) lol!

Thanks to daveski for a simple purchase plans as such are sort of brutal, its in line for death unfortunately, however for now I'm having a run about in it and enjoying a bit of phase 1 love! in the short term I think I'm going to put some new plates on it (when dave drops them tomorrow...hint...

Unwrapped it from the nice padded bag it came in, darn things still all shrouded in mystery! adds to the event though :) Cheers Andy, another top job and I couldn't be happier!

I'm guessing its due to loads being stolen or written off but been playing with quotes today and all sorts I wouldn't of expected is cheaper to insure (just going off the back of what others on this forum own) quick taster, done a few more but these are two that stuck out! Clio 182 with mods -...

Mine seem to be not working I need to get this straight in my head too, if the auto lights are on, the auto wipers are also on and will work when the stalk is set to first click ('intermittent') and look after themselves if I turn off the auto lights, this turns off the auto wipers and means...

Cliosport sticker, looked stock bar perhaps little bit of lows :) I was in lovely green pug 106 derv chock full of mk1 parts doing about 13mph in slow lane as you flew by!

Seen heading from Bakewell end of Matlock up towards Sainsbury's white mark 1 turbine wheels and looked pretty clean :)

What do people use to cover the ugly strut tops? I don't want bling bling hill power type ones, I was hoping for either black rubberised or something similar?? quick search didn't turn up much! cheers Ben

Cars in winter spec now, so looking fairly standard....ish :) cheers Ben

Just bought and collected it last night quite excited as back in the day this was the car that I wanted and really got me into how mark 1's can and should look! the pictures from the beach were how I always wanted my first 16v to be, and it never was! although its slightly different...

i'm not a massive phone person, I can take or leave them however, and I know it happened a while back, but having an old xperia S its only just affected me, but why oh for the love of god why do I have to use a PC to double up my mp3's to use them as ringtones that's some epically poor...

Right, heres another one! I bought this on a whim last week with the initial intention of using the heart of the beast for the turbo and dare I say it, getting rid of boost. So the plan was to strip this for parts, sell the shell rolling and keep the engine/box/wiring for GTT, sell the...

and I ran, I ran so far away........you know rather than having to face sorting through this load of scrap :) its all got a bit silly, I've basically gone and bought a tatty replica of the pair of clios I already had! another mk1 track car and another FF 182 runabout!rofl!!

I bought a mark 1 clio, it has some eibach springs in the boot that I suspect are for a 172/182 the part number printed on the spring itself is: EW 7514001VA I tried a quick search but couldn't turn up anything solid to tell me exactly what spec they are? any help much appreciated thanks Ben

do I need to do much replumbing to loose the headlight washer jets? basically my windscreen washers were always rubbish, as in had to hold for a second or two before any water came out, now I get nothing at all!! so I'm blaming the headlight washers, unless anyone has any tips or tricks or...

This the right part? only the plug under the car for my post cat lambda looks more square?? its listed as upstream, but I was lead to believe same part?? also anyone ever used this company...

Well, been off the road for 2 months and had a couple of alterations over that time. I'll let the pics do the talking, specs etc on request but mostly cosmetic stuff :) C&C welcome, but frankly I love it!!!! :) cheers Ben IMG_6974 by Coops_Turbo, on Flickr IMG_6975 by...

Got all the screws out I think, it just seems to be stuck at the a pillars?? grip it and rip it? or can someone point me at the guide as I've tried to search the guides section to no avail thanks Ben

BG 182, black wheels, parked up in bolehill near black rocks today looked tidy enough and cliosport tax disc holder :)

New willy wheels and janspeed fitted recently. exhaust fit to the bumper pics first, Coops mod to get it to sit proudm, can just read the janspeed branding :)

Considering some new pads for the 182, however I am a bit of a tart with my wheels and I don't want to shag them with un-cleanable dust are the DS2500 manageable in terms of dust? the RC6 I have on the mk1 have basically eaten my superleggera's and I don't want a repeat performance on the...

Popped down a while back to see Ross in his Cup turbo, had a blat out, bit of giggle passenger style in each car, then a blat up the highways and byways. Took the liberty of a couple of harf arfsed snaps at Kenilworth Castle (I think, Ross correct me if I'm wrong?! excuse the sloppy...

Has anyone got a centre section they can measure for me? overall length and length of all 3 parts, so the box, the long pipe to rear axle and the short pipe to the car (with it set on the sleeve to correct length to fit the car) any help much appreciated cheers Ben

ah its good to see no salt on the roads for a week or two........ :)

after some decent track spec pads for the 4 pots on the track car, i've tried EDC in all colours before and they have all been just okay, cheap enough, but not show stopping currently on some basic road pads from a 1980's volvo that cost 15 squid and just happened to fit, total waste of...

had a bash at some macro today for the first time home brew kit on the nifty 50 (no IS) and a canon ef-25 II tube but using manual focus mode on the 50 just out for a walk like so nothing else on me, all shot hand held hence focus is a bit slap dash but for a first getting a feel for it am...
