Media thread for the SWRRD2 :)
I stared off my day by running over a massive frozen animal (I think badger from the hairs?), I would have avoided it but I had a car right behind me and couldn't move back into the left lane (was on an overtaking strip), so opted to go over it dead centre! Was...
Recently bought a low pressure pas pipe off a member on here, but it seems to have some perishing on it already :/ Picture below, how long do you think it will last? Are these pipes double lined? Its the short bit of pipe that connects to the PAS pump and is present on both the inner bends of...
I'm looking for some J41 (arctic blue) paint to use with my air compressor + spray gun. Who's the best for colour matching+price? (must be someone on here that supply's it?)
p.s I need enough to spray a front wing, how much paint would that be?
I need a wing mirror, drivers side with heater thingy and blindspot view thing (just like the OE one). Besides Renault, anyone know a good place to get one for a reasonable price? Many thanks.
p.s, I looked on ebay, but they seem to be the cheap 'stick on' types that imo are not as good.
Hi all,
was in a car accident about 30mins ago, side impact :( car is mechanically ok. other partys car is cosmetic as well. just wondering if someone can fill me in on what happens next? so far have taken pics of both cars and exchanged details before going our seperate ways. do i call my...
My seatbelt warning light has started coming on randomly (+ buzzer) even though the seatbelt is in correctly. If I move around on the seat it stops. Would it be the sensor in the seatbelt clip or the pressure pad in the seat? Any suggestions to fixing it?
My manifold to decat joint was leaking a bit, so I bought a new fitting kit from nwp. Went to put it on the car today, and there is absolutely no way I can fit the springs/washers and still get the nut on the bolt! Is there a trick im missing? Or is the scorpion decat a flawed design? The flange...
This is what it was like a month ago (and pretty much how its been since I have had the car for the last 2 years minus the air filter, which is relatively new)... pretty shocking to say the least! (ignore the speaker type wires, they were some sensors I had hooked up to read the engine bay...
My stupid '2ton' jack that struggles to lift a 1 ton car slipped off the forum recommended jacking point on the front of the car today (the box section about 10inchs in from the sides). Basically it somehow slipped onto the flat underside bit of metal whilst being 90% jacked up. I was expecting...
Can different ECU maps make the induction noise sound different? I think mine sounds more throaty with the p&b map but i'm not sure it its all in my head? Is its even possible?!
Replaced my brake discs yesterday and was greeted with the sticky gunge of cv grease splatter everywhere! The outer clip on my drivers side CV boot has come off and the grease has obviously been being chucked out for a while. I have just cable tied it back on for now. CV isn't knocking though so...
I think it looks really good considering its only £16 delivered. I was a bit worried before it was fitted as on its own it looks very cheap, but once fitted it looks fine imo. Its certainly better than not having a splitter at all! Very happy with the result :)
I'm almost 100% happy with how may car drive and sounds at the moment (looks wise it need some work, but thats for the summer). Only thing thats annoying me is a metallicy / rattlely sound at around the 3Krpm mark. Its only started happenning sinse I put the decat on. It kinda sounds like the...
Tested my camera setup yesterday on the Clio. These are just the outside camera's which are 2 of those cheap keyring cameras (one is exhaust is an SD one, front is a HD one). I'm pretty happy with the results. These are to be coupled with my DSLR on the inside recording at 1080p should give some...
This is probably one of the easiest mods you can do to your clio and if you have xenons, it really improves the look over the standard sidelights. Its also very cheap :)
Here is a before an after example:

the bulbs I used were these LED replacement lights from ebay...
Just seen this picture posted in another thread which shows the rear brakes with what appears to be end cap on it; mine doesn't have these, are they required / should I get some new ones? If so, are they for the rears only or should they be on the fronts as well?
Im having trouble flashing the RON98 overrun map on my car, the RON98 map works all ok, but he overrun map give a write verification error and sets my ECU to 0000 0000 (and car wont start).
The files im using are:
Clio 182 EL 1921 8200_7804_Decat_Overrun_RON98_0411
and
Clio 182...
Do these exhaust manifolds really aid bhp over the standard one on a 182?

Thought I would start a thread in the media section for this as it would probably be unseen by many in the setup thread.
took very few pics on the day and all of which were not of a high standard at all, probably down to the fact that it was raining too much for my camera to be outside! But...
Like a t**t I stupidly pushed my bonnet closed and now have a shallow 5' dent next to the centre line!!!!!
are there any recommended PDR people in the sw?
I changed the rear discs/bearings/pads and coils, just wanted to check a few things that I want sure about:
The rear beam fell spat down on the ground when I removed both dampers (should of have a jack under it but forgot, silly me!), the impact was on the brake carriers, would I have damaged...
I might be stripping the front of my car tomorrow to put the new springs on, was just wondering how tight I should be doing up the top nut on the damper/strut? also the nut that compresses the spring?
Can we progressively populate this guide with torque wrench settings so we have a one stop place for all know torque settings:
Engine
Inlet Pulley (dephaser): 100nm (Fred does them to 125nm as he doesn't trust it)
Exhaust Pulley: 30nm + 86deg (that normally equates to 125nm)
Idlers: 55nm...
