I've found a few pages with similar symptoms, but different causes so thought I'd start a new post to see if anyone's experienced my issue: I've recently fitted new Cup shocks, Eibach Proline springs and PureMotorsport solid top mounts, as well as new lower wishbones and a poly bush dogbone...

I'm doing Snetterton this weekend, so this weekend I took the time to check the car over. This included cheking the pads. I've been running DS3000s for a few miles now, they've done a track day with me at Bedford along with the Brembo HC disks I have, and they've been phenominal. But upon...

This is a question for those who've gone from Cup springs to Eibach Pro Kit springs. Did the Eibach's match or improve handling on the car? I've done some research and as far as I can see, the Pro Kits are less sporty than the Sportlines, as explained by this video...

I've just had 2 new front tyres fitted, Michelin PS3s. Not really had a chance to give them a good test yet but initially they seem great, less road noise than my old Kumho K17s and the ride feels slightly firmer - for the better. But just wanting to confirm, these tyres aren't directional...

Went to the Mini Festival today to support a friend racing in the Mini Challenge in the Club class. Weather was really nice and seeing so many classic and brand new Minis was pretty cool. The JCW race cars looked awesome and the classic Cooper S' were amazingly quick for 1275cc engines! I took...

I'm planning on getting my Turinis powdercoated silver this summer. But I have previously refurbed them myself and had to use filler on parts as they were quite badly kerbed. I emailed Cas Coatings where I was planning on getting them done, and they said: "All your filler would be blasted...

I'm planning on getting my Turinis refurbed this summer, as my DIY jobbies have started to peel in places. I'm thinking silver as even though the white looks awesome, I've seen a few spotless silver wheels lately and they always look so shiny :o Might seem like a silly question, but what shade...

Just wondered since my car has fairly new looking 'Lip' rear shocks, and has done since I bought the car summer of last year, are these shocks considered to be any good by anyone? I'm thinking about investing in some new OEM shocks as I assume these are crap budgets unless someone else has...

Just wanted to confirm, if the brake pedal starts to soften and head to the floor, and the discs and pads aren't showing signs of overheating, would this mean the brake fluid has most likely boiled?

I'm fitting my new stainless steel exhaust this weekend, cannot wait as I've been cruising about with a blowing standard system since the start of December. Haven't passed 3k revs for a long time! Just wanted to know, what's the best way to run in the system? Or is it a case of bolt it on and...

I've got a track day coming up in a month, and wanted to film some on-board footage. I have a Panasonic video camera, it's not HD but it's something like 720p so not too bad. I have heard that some people run their video cameras in their glove boxes, and run an attachment that has a camera and...

Saw a CS tax disc holder in a silver 182 parked at the BUKC round at Teesside today. Car had a nice stance!

I've just ordered a cat back exhaust for my 182 off KTec, and wanted to replace all the main parts as my exhaust is the original one. Is this set of parts all I would need to fit a cat back system? http://www.northwestperformance.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=155 Would anyone know of a...

I've just received my Brembo HC front discs and Ferodo DS3000 front pads. I'll be doing the swap soon so wanted to know how I should bed these in most effectively, as I've only ever had cheap brake discs and pads on my cars before, and never race parts. The instructions on the pads say do...

Silver 172 with a CS tax disc holder. I parked opposite the road from your car, it had a nice stance, looked lower than standard! Got a cheeky pic:

I'm not sure if this is just normal, but wanted to check. Since my exhaust is going to be replaced soon due to falling to bits and blowing in numerous places, I looked under the car to see how far gone it was and noticed the cat moves quite a lot when revving, not necessarily high revs either...

Must have passed you twice (I stopped at a service station so fell back) and then saw you in Leeds again in the evening today. Nice car, looked very clean!

My exhaust has been blowing for some time, and I was planning on getting a Yozza straight away but now I'm waiting for the new system that's coming out next year. Just today I was driving the car and noticed the blowing has become much louder, as well as the section immediately below the gear...

Sat in the office facing the A505 I noticed a RB 182 pass over the bridge that goes over Kingsway. Think I noticed a for sale sign in the rear passenger window too. I'm currently working in Luton everyday for my placement with Bam Nuttal so I'm part of the cause for all the road works around Luton!

I've managed to sort myself a cheeky placement over Christmas while I'm off Uni, that pays very generously. So I thought I sort out the small issues with my car once I get paid. The blowing exhaust is to be replaced with one of BTM's new systems start of next year hopefully. But I have the...

I know that the preferred size of tyre on a 15" wheel is 195/50, but I've come across some track rubber for free but they're 195/55. Just wondering if that's ok? I assume the 5mm shouldn't cause any issues but just checking? Cheers

Just bought a set of valver wheels for pretty cheap, they're identical to these but in the original silver: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?608460-Valver-wheels-(not-turbines)-centre-hub-caps-what-can-I-use&highlight=16v+wheels Just wondering, since I'm planning on using them...

Sliver mk2 Clio with a CS sticker in the rear window, parked opposite Popinas. Walked past it on my way into Uni and noticed the CS sticker, I live literally 2 minutes away from there

I'm looking to buy a new cat back system for my 182, and had been set on getting the Ktec system with a silencer as it seems like it's not too loud but has a nice note when giving it the beans. But I see Ktec have the Ultra performance system for sale for a little bit more, and wondered if it's...

I have a standard 182 sound system apart from the head unit. It's pretty crap but at the moment it's not worth me upgrading as the speakers will do, but the driver and front passenger seat belt covers (the plastic part behind the doors that covers the seat belt) rattle like crazy when even the...

I've researched about but basically just want to know a couple of opinions on wheel refurbing. I've refurbed wheels before on my old car, but poorly and tbh the finish was uneaven but they were winter wheels in anthracite so I wasn't bothered. But on the Clio I want to do things better so...

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/kart-chassis-engines-and-lots-of-spares-tkm-extreme100cc/85507924 All my old gear, fantastic condition and the engines are quicker than my 182 to 60!

Seen this before on the road, but saw it today (Thursday) parked opposite the tall rusty looking building down the hill from Leeds Uni. I live about 1.5 miles away in Hyde Park when at Uni so would be good to know if you're on here!

Driving towards Brentwood saw a Clio Williams in immaculate condition. You may have seen me in the passenger seat of a beaten up 1.2 staring at your car as you pulled away!

Just wanted to check if this is the correct ABS ring for my 54 plate 182 with cup packs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-ABS-RING-44-TEETH-2002-ONWARDS-/170533790204?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b49b21fc I've got a cracked ABS ring and I figure that's causing the...
