Hey guys small update with these bushes ! Basically they do not fit some how! They fit into the wishbones fine no problem there. The problem is fitting them back onto the car . They supply you with these washers that go either side of the bush and with these in place there is not enough room for...

Little update :
Just got myself an rs tuner so a map will be goin on after xmas . Did my mates the other day easy to do once you done it once :) got a few little bits coming over xmas . Got to fit my wishbones too :)
Hardly air bag issues mate just a light on the dash . Which can be turned off for pennies . Fitting a smaller wheel was the best mod ive ever done you get a much better feel with the steering it honestly does dude
It is true henk is now asking for the vci code for the maps you purchase so you cant send them to other people as the maps are locked to your rs tuner :/ im in the middle of doing this now .
went to connect my rs tuner to my car this evening and basically the tuner will not connect when i ever a press connect it says vci firmware unknown .? its a brand new one from fastchip also my laptop will not recongnise that the rs tuner is connected it will not come up on the bottom of the...
does it matter if sumone sends me a map from a 182 i have a 172 so just wondering if theres any diffrence as this person can send me all his maps from his 182 . cheers
They are worth it . Makes the clio sport alot better to drive not so much faster . Just sharpens things up . If you buy 98 ron map u have to use 98 octane fuel .
I washed them then tardis left it soak on then slight scrub with a cloth removed some but not any good really . Respray or powdercoat will probs have to be into a dark colour
My white speedlines are covered in tar id like to clean them up and make them mint again but what tar remover is best ? Ive tried auto glym and didnt do much . Would iron x lift the tar off?
Not long i dont think mate ! When i was looking for more info only a small number of posts came up . Will be fitting them this week so il let you know what there like to fit
For those that didnt know powerflex have released a new improved wishbone bush kit . Instead of purple the bushes a black which is the harder compound from them . Also they told me they require no welding . These in most places are 90+ but theres a company on ebay selling them for £66 posted so...
