No probs, let us know how you get on, I've done plenty of these if you need any pointers

Iirc the phase 1 had a different part number, but was the same clutch. Maybe you have been supplied with a phase 1 clutch, but actually it's the same part

Set the brake light switch so that the lights come on after a small amount of travel on the pedal. If they come on too soon but doesn't detect any braking forces then the light will come on, likewise if it's not sensitive enough it will detect braking before the lights come on.

Cat makes a massive difference to the volume. I used a 90 quid eBay special cat on my 172, it passed the mot no problem and the quality was really good. Even came with a fitting fit, which I binned and used a genuine Renault kit

Even with the resonator mine was droney as hell

Loud as hell though lol

I think you'll struggle to get anything similar volume to the OEM exhaust. Ktec 2.25 resonated exhaust do sound nice though. Not too loud, and stainless.

That's bizarre as the front doors speakers and tweeters run to the same pins on the iso connector

Do they work if plugged back into the headunit rather than the amp?

The front speakers are wired to the tweeters on the dash, you must have tapped the wire in the wrong place. If you wire your amp to the front speaker wires behind the head unit this will send power to the door speakers and the tweeters. Sorry didn't realise you've already swapped out the...

As far as I'm aware Renault never did Monaco blue on the phase 1, so you might be looking for the wrong colour..

Unless you're going to add an amp to power the new speakers, you won't really get much of an improvement unless the original speakers are goosed. Most aftermarket speakers aren't as sensetive and require more power to get moving.

The connector on the left of the RCA input is the speaker level input, looks like it needs the adapter that would have been provided originally. If you don't have this I would just purchase a line out converter and connect it to the rear speaker wires and use the RCA input on the amp. In...

Yeh now that you mention it mine were black, and I don't recall being given the option for the purple ones

I didn't notice any difference tbh, unless your standard ones are completely shot I don't think there's much to gain. As far as I'm aware some of the diesel clios don't even have a rack Bush, just bolted straight on.

Most cars tend to have a high idle until warm to help the engine get to temp

Don't fit the 6x9, sound coming from the rear end is just wrong in many levels. The sub you can fit, you will just need a line level converter and tap into the rear speakers. Or, your amp might actually have high level inputs so you can plug the rear speaker wires directly into the amp to...

Chisel the anti theft ring off and then try smashing a socket on?

I used a shaftec CV joint on my civic and the quality was top notch too.

I just got 5 litres of shell helix ultra 5w40 and a Bosch filter for my civic for 31 quid. The non ultra was even cheaper. Either will be fine I would have thought

If the light comes on and remains on before you start moving it won't be a ring, it's more likely an abs sensor as the dodgy sensor will likely have an incorrect resistance and flag the fault straight away If it's a ring it would usually come on once you start moving once it realised the ring...

3k for a black 182? 3k is definitely RB territory

It's also about ,£500-1k over priced for a bg182. Yes, it's got some nice mods, but everybody knows you never get your money back on mods unless you return to stock and flog separate

Guys how can it be the fuse when it works when the pedal is fully depressed?? Sounds like a dodgy non oe switch, or an incorrectly set switch

Jack it up and check the ball joints, rod ends, rods, top mounts. With the car on the ground, check to see if you can see any excessive play in the steering rack bushes

Can't help with the fibre washer other than just keep chipping away at it, I never had that issue, maybe a drip of wd40 might help free it. The entire exhaust is hung on rubber so there should be plenty of movement to get the new dohnut in, but if you really do struggle then the cat to centre...

It's easy. I found it useful to have somebody in the engine bay with a socket on the other side of the bolt as it's quite awkward from underneath. Other than that it's no problem I found a universal joint attachment and a load of extensions worthwhile

Easy init!!

How did you get on?

Don't think youl get much interest here mate. There's very very few mk2 owners who wish to put massive body kits on
