    Lower Ball Joint on a Clio 182...

    Allright !? Well 35 seems a bit steep, maybe it's with a complete new bolt/nut package ? When i was at Renault trying to order mine (much in doubt still) i found out that they charge pretty much for some of those bolt/nuts ; the think itself would be around 16 euros, but in all another...

    Espace V6 airbox problem

    Yep, remove all of that and MAYBE you can squish a 102mm feed all the way down , if not just point one down towards there/ behind the headlight.

    How do I know if my engine mounts need replacing?

    when i had this problem i replaced them all round.. When understanding later on which have been changed my best knowledge is that only the dogbone + the two top ones are prone to regular changing (on a sport) These are the ones under the most stress

    ET40 wheels on 172 Cup

    sorry dude.. ;) But we're talking about a 172 cup (road car) here.. The later 182 models have the bigger hubs, (as the official Sport CLio Cup you looked up) therefore running a different ET value wheels, to correct the track width. I know this for a fact . 172 Cup (ROAD CAR) runs ET...

    ET40 wheels on 172 Cup

    Jo ! you're wrong dude , they're 38,5 . The wheels you are talking about are the "cup" ones that were for sale around Holland/Belgium ; Speedline Corse ET 48,5. When wanting the same track as the 172 cup you will need 1cm spacers all round with ET 48,5

    172 splutter hesitation around 2000 rpm

    watch your watertemp gauge on the dash. Does this still read same as always ? sounds like your car , when spluttering at 2000 revs but when giving it some throttle its fine up the rev-range, may "think" it's running cold because of a faulty watertemp sensor. The car has a limiter on...

    ebc brakes

    :D yep, Green stuff being only a little bit better than Lucas etc. (OEM) . I'm defo going for some Ferodo DS2500 pads when the Green stuff EBC's are gone. Not too harsh on the discs, perfect The main advantage of the EBC Greens is that the brake-dust will not eat in to your rims !

    Need help about espace v6 airbox

    Custom rear springs advice

    Chris have you removed the adjustment platform that comes with the H&R set already ? My car also badly needs to go a bit lower at the back, but it's at its lowest adjustment. Still loving the setup ! A while back you recommended them to me , remember ?

    106MM CAF 172 CUP

    depends on the severity of the crash, and if the engine still runs on impact i guess it is'nt there for nothing. Protects fuel rail guard on impact When in a serious crash i think you will want it there or you will die a horrible death

    engine mounts......
