It seems the consensus that 15's are the better size for most applications with the clio. But what beneifits are there to running 16s? I see quite a few hill climb cars running them and they are pretty competitive. Even running 17s..

Will longer springs raise them up a bit? I assume its because they cant be done up anymore. Also cant seem to find 51mm i/d springs that are long enough anywhere if someone knows where to look?

The doors will unlock with the dash switch though. Also I think the radio doesnt work. Is this uch related? Can you reprogram it in clip? I saw there was a reset feature along the lines but Im hesitant as dont know what it will do.

Just fitted new dash loom and all was well, warning/handbrake light was extinguishing. Was getting ready to put dash back in but light is always on now, plugged into clip and its a bad earth. They all look fine and secured, check the others in engine bay just to make sure but fine. Was fitting...

Just about to spray a few parts but the inlet on mine came with some naff blue brush on paint and is not very neat around the letters, also the letters looked pitted. Anyone have any advice to make sure the job is done fairly neat?

Just about to convert to hydraulic clutch as pedal box but need to make sure this slave is for jc5 if anyone can confirm? 306200650R Also Im not sure about the hose connection into the slave, will I need to get an original dci one and get it custom? As the mc will be -3

I’ve just bought a column off eBay but its clear that there would be play in the steering as even though its not a lot you can twist the joint slightly from the splines or whatever it actually joins on to. Has anyone welded or got the joint welded and has it lasted? My 182s not even on 80k yet...

Recently put a bucket seat in super low and Ive no room so just want to remove the door card, will they fail it on having sharp ish metal and crap right next to me? Cant move with it in place even just driving there is a hassle

Can anyone let me know what parts I need for this? A dci setup? For the brake rez Im thinking of just using the oem one as it has 2 ends for hoses so I easily keep the fluid sensor, also brake light switch could surly just be kept as well if a bracket was made for it? Also for those who have...

Im looking at shaving down my brackets to suit 280 discs and wondered what sort of pads/discs are you using and whats the coverage like? Also I take it if I just got the brackets shaved down for 280mm I wouldnt be able to go to 15's after as the calipers would need shaving so the brackets would...

Was out tonight and someone else was driving for a while ? As soon as I got in a realised something had got buggered. First thought was maybe the rack was a bit loose, had put new rack bushes in recently and was fine up till now... But had a look in the bay and got someone to move the wheel and...

Just need to confirm this is for a 172 cup and not a ph1, not sure what ph1s were non abs but this looks exactly what I need. The loom to connect the dash loom to the engine loom which contains the rez sensor on, headlights etc...

Jamaican RB 182?

Anyone that runs a manual bias valve, how do you have yours set? I find that all the way to the front is the best stopping power, but the fronts lock up much quicker and even just a bit to the rears really takes away all the power. Running brembos up front so there is a big difference but surely...

Just got some but its quite hard and hardly any wax gets picked up by the foam pad or your fingers, read a review that said something like that might of happened. What should it be like?

Have had a look on ebay for the sheets of it but dont seem to be any of the dark grey that are on the doors, seem to be a few sellers with the same batch of different colours but all out of stock on grey! Anyone know of any sites to get the stuff? Ideally dont want to spend a fortune and dont...

I have just ordered some high quality ones but will have to plumb my car tomorrow so cant wait for them. I have the brembos and i think air seeps in through the threads of the screws, I remember vaguely reading about coating some grease around the visible thread I wasnt sure, is that alright to do?

Just put in a 172 cup ecu, uch with key, the immobiliser light is off but abs/stop/serv lights still on, I disabled the obd light and the esp light just didnt come on. What do I have to do on clip to at least get the car started, do I have to reset the uch? Also is the abs light on to do with...

Been meaning to fit a fatty setup but will be routing the battery in the boot soon so thinking of doing something like this Ive seen some have a slight bend in but these look like their just straight pipes that are cut at an angle So its 70mm id tube and a ram air filter will be alright...

Will be putting 172 cup loom/ecu in soon but just want to make sure that I wont have any lights on as still wont have speedo or mileage. Now have a clip but couldnt clear the 'no speedo drive' fault so hoping I wont need to then get a 129 box or if its just for the 182 abs systems that dash...

Just trying to find out whats involved in keeping everything working, will I need a cup blower and heater controls? Is there anything else? It will be the full ecu/uch/loom

Will too much pre load make lower rebound settings all crashy or are they like that anyway? It seems like the first 10 clicks from soft up are useless. They are 300lb springs and are doing well on the road so far, just about to put the rear seats back in so that should help a bit, would at least...

I have 5mm line to flare, I was looking at something like this, will it be the right size? Also its aluminum tube https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brake-Pipe-Flaring-Tool-Trident-T413701-3-16-316/151035636166?epid=4017004564&hash=item232a6ce9c6:g:emwAAOSwll1Wwa6O @Tomotek hope you dont mind me asking...

I run brembos for 300mm discs but theres a huge outer ring that the pads not touching, I just switched over some ds1.11 to oem pads and the oem pads are even worse and touching the inner part of the disc. I had in mind to get some 295 discs and they will probably be right but possibly had the...

So the airbag light is an advisory(?)but since removing the abs I now have; Abs, esp, stop, emissions light Could I tape up the abs and esp lights? Tia

Is the bolt spacing the same for the pedal box? Ive realised now that the 197 mc is around 4mm further away to the push rod than the stock mc. Im going to take the servo off tomorrow to see if it can be adjusted

As title, if I press pedal in a couple times slowly revs will move a bit, if I repeatedly press it fast the revs go above 2k When cars off the pedal has a lot of travel, you can pump it up and it will be firm but theres always 2 stages of travel, a complete dead zone as if the push rod isnt...

I have bump steer adjustment rod ends but its bent the bottom spacer between the rose joint and the nut. Ive managed to make around 1-2mm of clearance but the spacer isnt budging, ive tried to hit the edge that seems to be the part thats stopping it from moving but not much luck. Ill probably...

So after many years, the time was 'right' to get the car I had wanted for some while. I have owned a 1.2 and 1.6 mk2 clio and just liked the idea of the more sporty version. We went and picked up a standard FF 182 from an odd looking dealership in Oxford, it was basically a farm. If that didnt...
