On my road going Clio 182s I’ve used the following: Cheap Motrio equivalent - awful pads, zero bite and when it rains or go through a puddle of water, you have zero brakes. Brembo - better than the above but still poor in the wet and not great from cold. Brembo Sport/Plus ( HP2000) - a bit...

I’ve been using it for a while on both my road going and track Clios. No issues and as you say, probably the same stuff. My daughter in law is a scientist so I’m half tempted to give her a few samples of genuine and Febi so she can confirm it.

I've found the DS1.11 trackpads to be the best I've used—durable, as Brigsy mentioned. Dust isn't a real issue, although I am on Black/Grey wheels. Friends who used PBS and DS1.11 trackpads in their Clio for both road and track loved the PBS for value but admitted the DS1.11 outperforms on the...

For posterity, i'll add my current 182 FF in Racing Blue. This isn't/wasn't the cheapest Clio that I have bought, but it's the best standard hot hatch car I'll probably ever own.

I went to Mazda headquarters in Dartford, Kent in the RB last Friday. 520 miles there and back. I’d forgotten to stick my spare wheel in the boot as well as the jack/wheel brace. Yikes! First proper journey over 100 miles since resto and ran beautifully.

My second 182, which I bought 2 months after my first one in November 2017, was a real bargain. At least in my eyes anyway. I paid £2,000 for it, but it only had 79,000 on the clock and came with a brand new Safety Devices RO22 6-point roll cage (unfitted) and brand new ACW windows which were...

Did you manage to get that rear bumper trim on? Difficult to see from pictures.

My first foray into the Clio Sport world was this 54-plate Black Gold 182 FF. This is the day I collected it in Sept 2017. 109,000 miles on the clock and I paid £1,275 for it. It came with an ITG intake which I sold a few days later for £250 so £1,025 using Man Maths. I then spent -...

@ripp - from my suspension post "Switched a couple of bolts for some genuine spares I had lying around. I’ll get a couple of new ones this week ..." The camber bolts were initially fitted to the BC Racing Coilovers, which I've since replaced. A case of using what was available at the time. AST...

Adam Gears is the perfect name in this situation. You eventually won’t be able to select any 😂

Sorry first part of your question. Slipping is when the friction material on the clutch disc wears down. When it becomes too thin, it can no longer grip the flywheel effectively, causing it to slip.

You’ll notice the engine RPMs rising without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed. Usually when the engine is under load.

I wouldn’t do anything until it starts slipping. My missus Tucson has 70,000 and that had a high biting point. We had the clutch changed when it also went in for gearbox synchros and the old clutch was in good condition.

New belts pretty much in, just the straps to fix and adjust on the roll bar. I’ve never used Motomec products before but the car came with a set of 4-point belts which are really comfortable. Sadly I can’t get away with them. I like to be properly strapped in. They look really good quality...

Ordered. Great timing as I’ve just noticed the end of the pipe work is missing off my NSF. I think the steel wheels ripped it off on the way to the circuit. Only just put them on as well. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Time to sort the fans out before Croft next week. Picked up a cheap digital temperature gauge/sensor and an M12 and M10 mm 3-way T adapter from Car Builder. I wanted to retain the factory temperature sensor and monitor temperatures without drilling additional holes in the pipework for the...

I bought mine brand new a few years back but if you’re saying a dealer can get you some for £65, order them. I’ve seen them sell second hand for more than that. Let us know if you order some and when they arrive.

182 arch liners?
