Same way I learnt that TRE use bat s**t crazy tools and nuts? [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you dude, I'm really stuck as what to do at the end of the season. Sell and part fund a Turbo VX220 or just use that money and get the ED 280 bhp kit on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh goody! I've seen these rebuild kits Is it worth just refreshing them at the same time? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers, the retaining pins as in the springy ones over the pads, or the 2 that go straight through the calipers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi there, Being a bit of an idiot, I've taken a look at my 197 calipers and for the life of me can't figure out how to remove them for disks and remove the pads. Am I missing a trick here? Look massively different to standard calipers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cage ordered from eBay, will get some pictures up shortly as what's a thread with no shiny pics! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers dude Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Went genuine Renault, wish I hadn't been an arse ache from start to finish. The rubber gaiter on the Inner was truly miserable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that, does this look right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah came with the locking nut for the TRE inner but not the nut itself. Fucked one up thought I'd cross threaded it but now just realised is probably the wrong M10! Doh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can anyone tell me what size nut is supposed to fit on here please? The old one is knackered and the ones from the assorted set I got from Halfords don't seem to want to go on. The original was 16 mm the new 17mm also and they really just don't seem to want to go on Sent from my iPhone...

A small selection of parts has begun to mount in the garage. My camber bolts and rear shims have arrived, as has my heel and toe pedal from a member here. I'm going to outsource the fitting of these to a friendly local garage who have set up race cars and specialise in alignment. I've also got...

Well duh.... [emoji23] Today I finished the long, tedious and painful task of inner / outer TRE, asked a lot of stupid questions, went through 2 over priced 'specialist' tools I will never use again, cursed more than I ever thought possible at a piece of rubber gaiter. Patting myself on the...

That's what I thought to be honest, the instructor on the day said they were too stiff at the rear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers, need a refurb as the track hasn't been kind to them. Considering white, however brake dust will not be a happy place! Other news, both new TRE almost there, had to grind the OS off, causing me major headaches with the OS steering rack gaitor as there is simply no room to move my gammy...

Haha, I'm wondering whether to boost, or to sell up in the new year in favour of an Elise or VX220. Hmmmmm I'm doing a lot of preventitive maintenance now, things like track rod ends and may refresh the wish bones so this car will stay mint for a long long tome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Next stop, Oulton on 11th July! Must get tracking sorted out first. I'd be keen to get views on the best track focused coilovers. The Bilsteins currently fitted are too stiff on the rear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cheers mate! Car is currently on axel stands with one trackrod end done, one waiting for a gap in the storm to be ground off! Still waiting on my parts off KAM racing that I ordered a week and a half ago, not best please! I'm considering ordering a half cage eBay job, more for the harness...

New camber bolts and shims had the red card of death from the postie through the door yesterday. Track / tie rods ends due today along with the special tool I ordered. Will post up a mini 'how too' guide if there is interest. Currently have been soaking all relevant bolts in PlusGas over and...

Yeah it's a credit to Matt and the owner before to be fair, got a lot of comments at both Combe and rockingham as to how quick it looked and that's with a noob behind the wheel. I'm at Reading festival that weekend! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought my 182 off Matt from here back in March. Safe to say I've loved it! Matts project thread which I'm continuing on from http://www.cliosport.net/threads/matts-artic-blue-182.801984/ My daily is an F30 330D that I bought to cope with the 18,000 miles a year I do. It looks nice but is drab...

Think it could be the bolts now you mention it, is this something you've seen before? Stupid question, but which bolt is it do you know and where can I source a shallower one lol? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure, they were on the car when I bought it. I've heard they aren't great though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, First in a probably stupid series of technical questions coming up. I recently bought a track prepared 182 off a member from here. The car itself is great but needs a few little tweaks for what I want. My question was, the sliders on the seats that came with the car seem to have...

But it needs to breath [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just read this from start to finish. Hats off, the OCD must be tough though for that level of detail! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet cheers all, think I should be ok then! Will have a little test with my new toy somewhere open but it's helped me thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gives me a bit of confidence cheers! I'm the only one of my mates getting into this, so a billy track no mates? Ha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's rockingham I've got planned, has 105 static. I hadn't thought about it to be fair but the previous owner said he was worried it might fail. It's a KTEC supersport decat (Plenty more to come from the stupid pot [emoji23]) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not I'm afraid, I'm in Reading, think the nearest is Combe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
