    Sluggish 182 compared to one that's done double the miles?

    Poor timing can be a killer on these. Seen them make as low as 130-140bhp with messed up timing.

    Clio driving advice/tips

    The only way to lose the back end on these in the dry is too much entry speed in the corners.

    Clio driving advice/tips

    Don't lift off? They're not that bad tbh, only when it's wet can they be a bit playful. If it does step out just mash the throttle.

    Alternator problem

    There's no adjustment in the tensioner, it's a self tensioning spring.

    New Car Ford

    There were 3 of these Fiesta ST's at Cadwell yesterday in Time Attack, bloody rapid things! Must have been around a similar power.

    Halfords Torque Wrench

    I've got the 60-300Nm one and it seems decent enough.

    My second Clio has gone horribly down hill...

    Yeah, that's not into the block. It's into the other half of the cam cover. Find a bolt about 10mm longer and it should nip up.

    My second Clio has gone horribly down hill...

    Is it one of the bolts that screws into the cam cover though?

    Could be the camshaft seals too, especially if the cover has been off to be resealed.

    Renault Wolverhampton for oem shocks.

    Also, just so you know, that will be stiff if used on the road. Roughly twice as stiff as your usual coilovers, if you'd ever driven a Clio on them.

    Recommendations for a track car

    For what you get, it's a good price really.

    Recommendations for a track car

    Yes, with the option for the top mounts ticked as well.

    Recommendations for a track car

    For a dedicated track car the RSX are just the same as Bilstein B14's and H&R's. Too soft. You want 8-9kg/450-500lbs springs and you can only get that with BC's, AST's or the Ktec 182 championship spec RSX's.

    Impact Guns

    An impact driver is nothing like an impact gun @Knuckles. They take hex screwdriver bits for screwing things in hard wood without pilot holes. If you want one to last and with a decent warranty. Milwaukee, DeWalt are the ones to look at. They're near identical across the 2 brands. Can't go...

    Basically the pin ones are for construction work working at heights, the pin goes into the socket which has a hole on the side so that it can't fall off and you need to push a small screwdriver through to get it off, bit of a pain if you're swapping from socket to socket. Quality guns the...

    Get the Friction Ring version not the Pin Detent. Pain in the arse the pin one.

    Yeah, well it's easier to keep pressure on the gun whereas on a bar you'd have the risk of slipping off the nut/bolt potentially rounding it. Quite easily round stuff with the gun too though, that initial hit usually breaks it away before it has time to round though normally.

    aka The Birmingham Screwdriver or Glaswegian Socket Set 😂

    105Nm That's enough to keep them on but also not too tight that they can't be undone with the wheel brace.

    Parts Required For Brake Caliper Refurb.

    Probably Renault Parts Direct or Renault Wolverhampton. Not really looked into standard lines tbh.

    Lol at the second pic 😂

    Coilovers for my 182

    Rear ARB does work, rear strut brace does nothing but add weight.

    It'll ruin the spring inside, thus the calibration of the wrench will be made inaccurate. Wouldn't be without mine now. So much faster than having to crack wheel bolts off by hand and then unwind each one. I can have all 4 wheels off in 30 seconds.

    Use a breaker bar. You'll knacker the torque wrench.

    Don't use a torque wrench for undoing things :tongueclosed:
