digging it up for a glory post! :D

carefully! theres no proper way to remove them i dont think! i used a cloth over a flat screwdriver and managed to get it off without damaging the bonnet!

So the 172 cups use different wishbones to add some caster?! well thats my new thing learned today! might look into getting some cup wishbones if i ever need to change! lol

i dont think youll feel the difference hugely!! it might feel a bit crashier but its not going to be like driving a new car!!

the problem is, without driving the car, theyll never know!

though its not my normal cup of tea, i really quite like it now!

cool pics, your mrs looks like shes really enjoying herself! lol

friend of mine had -1.75 on his, and no abs. straight line braking suffered massively carppy road surfaces! (he was driving like a kn0b though!) im personally going for -1.5 on the front of mine when i get round to having it done!!

-1.5 seems to be the norm for fast road set ups, i had it on mine and really liked it! i believe the sports come with -1.5 camber as standard so you dont really need to play around with the rear unless you want even more!

Re: Emmisions light on, car feels a bit slower and occasional faint burning smelll ?? it may well do if its just on its way out! if it completely dies itll have the above symptoms! also it depends on what lambda on the 182 as there is 2! one pre-cat and one post-cat! when you say the...

what do the lockers look like!? my 172 came with the same problem! mine were like this i just twatted a socket onto them and undo! took about an hour to get them all off!!

Guttd for you mate! must be a horrible feeling!! hope you get it back!!

iirc you need one person reaching down from abouve the car, and one coming up from the bottom. then its just a case of a lot of bad words, extensions and patience! lol good luck and thank the stars you dont have a ph1! as theyre even harder!

youve killed your squib! that unit does all the electics to your steering wheel, youre shorting wires out when turning hence why the horn is going off!! seeing as its already borken, id pull as much as i can out electrical tape over whats left to keep it out the the way. but youll need a new...

im guessing by the position of the wheel the castors been achieved by moveing the front wishbone forward?! pics of the underneith required!!

ive done this in my ph1, i just traced all the unused wires back to the plug to the dash loom and pulled them out! i removed Rear speakers Rear heated Screen Rear Lock Rear wiper Door Sensors Handbrake light Boot light and basically just left the fuel pump and two rear rights!

mine did the same as above!! rear shoes collapsed causing the drum to seize!! try putting it in reverse and being violent with the clutch a few times to see if its just bonded a little, failing that its a lot of hammers and crowbars to get the rear drum off the car!

overall, im not a fan! wheels are far to in-your-face, 16v badge looks a bit chav, and the black tints just make it look like a van! only get 15"s when you change the wheels and try and go for something a lot more subtle than aftermarket ones!! good luck!

the stop and handbrake light is likely to be a "brake fluid low" warning light, the sloshing about when throwing it into bends its probs the cause. have a look at the reseviour and maybe top it up if need be. the engine management light is probs a warning that youre getting incorrect readings...

law is 1.6mm across the central 3/4's of the tyres tyres on the same axle (i.e front left & front right, OR, Rear left & rear right) MUST match. police could easily give you greif for it and insurance would use it as leverage in event of an accident!! and itll fail an MOT. always play by the...

if youre looking for uprated engine mounts, look up vibratechnics, they do the range of solid engine mounts for these cars! i think you can order them from K-tec racing! car looks great! good luck with it!

Re: Calling All Silver Clio's

as opposed to spending £40 on a new badge that offers no difference what so ever other than a slightly 'cleaner' rear end?? i personally like the dewipered look, i personally think that dirty great wiper ruins the symetry of the car, and tbh, have never missed having a rear wiper on any of my...

i think its just what the world is becoming! nobody wants to talk to each other anymore! i used to get a wave in my valver when i saw another one, but tbh, i could count the times i actually saw another valver on the road on one hand!

Manifold, filter, exhaust and map will of course get you a few gains..... however it will only be around 10bhp, and cost you about £800 to buy, and thats assuming you can fit it all yourself. and assuming youre quite a young driver it will hike your insurance astronomically. just pick your...

id also agree. its likely that the clip has come loose to the door loom and thats caused a bad connection. you should be able to see the connection, its like a rubber pipe going from the door to the shell, it should have a clip that slides down on the chassis end to secure it to the car. Also...

needs to be photoshopped into a police chace like a replica ferrari!

defs go for the dual optics over standard front headlight, theyre a million times better! as for wheel, i think the standard ph2 sport wheels look kinda ghey, go for OZ F1's off the ph1 sports, they will suit the car a lot better!! looks tidy though, exactly the same as my first clio!

well translation implies its a timer/delay switch! where does the wiring go?

iirc it vents fumes from the petrol tank into the inlet manifold to stop them escaping and poluting the atmosphere! it can be binned but may bring up an engine fault. you'll also have to plug up a log of the vacuum lines that go too and from it!
