Hi all, I fitted my group buy ARB at the weekend and WOW! It's amazing. My KTR coilovers haven't always inspired confidence in me but now it handles better than when I had Sportlines on (in my opinion) Anyway, I had a look under the car today to check it was all ok and noticed that one of...

At about 1.45pm today, car looked awesome!!

Hi all, I've done a search but can't find much info about Ferodo Premier pads. They seem a similar price to OEM front pads, so I just wondered if anyone knew anything about them? I don't track my car, so I'm not really willing to spend anything more than £40-50 on brake pads. So, OEM or...

Hi all, The past 2 (cold) mornings my car has started first time, but the idle has been a bit all over the place. From the exhausts it was kind of "coughing" a bit, if that makes sense. The first time it happened I drove away and it was very juddery and losing power, then suddenly it was fine...

I drove past you this morning at about 7.15ish when I was leaving Pevensey Bay. Herro!

Of all the places to pass someone, I went by you as we crossed over Tower Bright tonight at about 6ish I think it was. I was in an AB 182. Anyone on here?

Hi all, I'm interested to know (from someone who knows their stuff), what the key components at the front end of a 182 (or 172) are, and roughly how much they cost and how long they'd take a mechanic to replace, or if they're easy for a novice to fit (I've done brakes and coilovers before...

Hi all, I've done a bit of Googling, but couldn't find what I was after. I wondered what the general effect on handling is with different ride heights. Such as, what are the handling characteristics for a car which is lowered, with the front low and the rear high (nose done), or the front high...

You were parked a few spaces down from me (Arctic Blue 182) on level 3 :) On here?

Hi all, For the past couple of months I've had slightly lower than normal MPG, at the end of a tank it's usually around 32MPG, whereas normally it'd be about 34 or so. Nothing major, and I've just put it down to being winter really. Last week I had some work done to mod the cat to a 2.5"...

Tonight at about 6.30pm-ish, I was doing a crap job at parking, and you were behind me. Herro, if you're on here.

After seeing a few other members having a similar mod done, and getting really fed up of my exhaust blowing, I took my car to see Tom and James at JMS. They have done a fantastic job and I am over the moon with how the car feels, and how it sounds. It might just be placebo, but the car feels...

You were just coming onto the roundabout from Tunbridge Wells way, and I was just going into Tesco. Anyone on here?

Hello, I have a Milltek cat-back system on my 182, and I'd like it to be a tiny bit noisier, but I'm reluctant to get a decat due to: 1 - Too noisy probably 2 - Emissions light would do my head in 3 - Having to change it over for MOTs What other options are there?

Hello! I was in the Arctic 182. Not sure if you'd been to the Southend meet or not. I saw you on Pembury Road, then going down past the Police station, and finally down by KFC :)

Hi all, I've removed the brake caliper and also the 30mm nut, the hub is wobbling a bit but it won't come off. I've hit it with a hammer and wood but it won't budge. Do I need more welly, or have I missed a bolt somewhere? Thanks

Hi all, I recently fitted some coilovers, and despite raising the car over and over, to the point where it's not as low as I'd like, the front driver's side (and occasionally the passenger side) is rubbing when cornering hard, or when going over a big bump/dip in the road at speed. I've cut...

Parked in the car park tonight. Are you on here? :)

When I bought the car last year it came with tints on, which I eventually grew to like. I had contemplated removing them but knew that I'd just mess it up. Anyway, I soon grew bored of them, and the 'image' which comes with having such dark tints, so I decided to get them professionally removed...

Hi all, I bought and fit these replacement speakers this week. They are the direct replacement ones which were really easy to install. I bought them as I wasn't fussed about a massive improvement after spending £££s, I just wanted something cheap but with a slight upgrade on the standard setup...

Hi all, I think I might know the answer to this, but I've had a big bottle of snow foam in the garage, and it's developed lots of nasty lumps in it, like you'd get with gone off milk. It's obviously been quite cold, so is this why? I used it today and it worked fine. But should I not use...

Hi all, Sorry, but I could really do with some help (because the Ktec coilovers don't come with any instructions, I know they're cheap, but come on!!) Anyway, I'm just fitting the rear shocks and I'm unsure which parts from the old shock I need to use (if any), and also the order of things...

Hi all, Things have gone seriously tits up with my Ktec coilovers. I've fitted both front struts, and I had all of the bolts in and tight. I tried adjust the camber bolts but it wasn't changing the camber. I think this was due to the bottom bolt being completely tight. I've taken the...

Hello everyone, I wondered if anyone here does any track days, or is planning to in 2011? It's something I'm starting to consider doing at least once, just with my standard 182, but I would feel much better going with other people. Brands Hatch is the only track I know or have driven around...

Hi all, Sorry for posting another tools thread, but I've checked the two guides within the guides section (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?381744-Fitting-Coilovers-Guide-(H-amp-R-s)&highlight=coilovers and...

Hello everyone, I hope it's ok to post this thread. It's not really a project, more just a thread to post the progress of my car as it's been an interesting (expensive!) first 9 months of ownership. I passed my test 6 months to the day after my 17th birthday, back in 2002. For the first 8...

Hi all, I don't have very many tools, so just want to check that based on the following guide: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?408371-Fitting-Front-Rear-Discs-Pads-braided-lines-and-handbrake-adjustment-on-182&highlight=brake I'll need to pick up: 13mm spanner 17mm spanner...

Probably been posted before (searched but couldn't find anything). Thought these might be of interest to some people. I'll be painting my callipers black soon and thought I'd try these to spruce it up a little. If it looks gash I'll take them off, but they look quite good in the pictures...

Hi all, my boot lid is loose and so it's knocking about a bit when I'm driving. I've read that you can tighten the torx screw on the catch to stop this, so I need to buy one the right size. Does anyone know the correct size? Thanks

Hi all, Ok, so here are some things which are going on with my car right now: - The ride seems A LOT more harsh than normal. Bumps in the road really seem to shake the car. I'm on OEM shocks with Eibach Sportline springs. My first thought is the shocks need replacing, but I'm not sure which...
