Just saw this. Happy to share a detailed review if you've not already been?

Hi, I bought a connects2 kit from eBay to get my steering wheel controls to work with my Sony MeX bt3900u head unit. The instructions say to connect in this order 1) car 2) connects 2 harness 3) aftermarket harness 4) head unit I have done this and also connected the little box which has a...

I'm watching this thread with interest. I bought a nearly new set of these coilovers that came of a track car. As such I just installed them and made no adjustments Mine is measuring Front r595 l585 Rear r594 l597 The setup is perfect for me. I live in the Cotswolds and have some great roads...

Poundland do a 2 plug extension with a USB as well. I used it to hardwire my satnav before :). All for £1

It works fine with my 182.

Having run a Porsche 997 on that stuff it's also goes in my 182 (same grade as you though) It is very highly rated in Porsche circles to help prevent bore scoring.

Thanks guys :)

Hi - I have a cup packed 182 running on bilstein coilovers. My turinis need a refurb. I am thinking it's easiest to just pick up a ser of wheels from eBay whilst they are done. Do 'regular' Clio wheels fit? They are pretty cheap and I think can be 14" ? What is the smallest that fits without...

Thanks - I did go see it and decided against it. I didn't notice the rear arch but there was plenty of other issues that put me off. Shame as if the car was prepped properly and painted well it would make a nice car.

I went and saw the one on eBay today. The colour really is fantastic. It was sunny and the car was clean. The paint has gold in it which really pops out. Regrettably the car was not for me. It has too many mechanical issues which would be easy to sort but too many minor problems with the paint...

I think you have the same plan as me but the right car for the job. My titanium car is not special enough and I found my 36k trophy too nice to put miles on. I will keep an eye out for another. This one looked standard right down to the exhausts. No cup spoiler. I should have pulled over when...

Hi, I was driving into Cirencester yesterday and followed what I now know to be a petrol blue 182. I never saw this colour before and really liked it. Anyone know if this is rare or hard to come by?

I've just removed some Carbon Lorainne rc6e pads from my 182. The positives are the braking effort is amazing from cold and I had no real fade (on the road). However on the downsides; 1) I had a wheel bearing go very shortly after buying the car 2) The disk and pad wore down to the metal in...

My car was the same when I bought it. Fortunately I had the OEM system to the back box. Putting the mid silencer and the cat back in makes a big difference. The back box still sounds better than OEM. If you have a custom air filter that makes a big difference too. However the Cat makes the...

I used the 3m kit on my Volvo and to be honest wasn't impressed. I got better results with wet and dry with elbow grease (lots of it many times :() on my Clio However I only really got good satisfying results using a Makita rotary polisher for the final stage. I would not really bother unless I...

Look in the stickies. All the info you would need is there.

As an ex owner of a Trophy and a current owner of a 182 I'd say the trophy is not worth the extra. I'd keep the money for minor modifications or buy one lightly modified. It's a better all round car. If you want the car for resale or some idea of price increase then Trophy but I think this is...

I use petrol and K&N foam filter oil to service my KTM motorbike filter. Have done it for years and the filter is fine - however the petrol over time seems to have bleached out the dye from the filter. Only a cosmetic problem but maybe important :)

Yes.

Hi, I managed to pull the hubs out and get the car drivable. New suspension bolts from Renault and a setup by a specialist and the car is running perfectly now. The camber was set at around 1.8 (I was aiming for 1.75) The damping seems so much better than the V-Maxx units. The ride quality...

I'm not looking to lower dramatically (if anything slightly raise) my car and I do a lot of motorway work. I want a good fast road car rather than track car. It's sounding like I'd be wasting my time buying OEM bolts and should get the Eiback camber bolts instead. What is the default camber...

Thanks to all for responding. The camber bolt on the offside has a split washer so it's not helping much anyway. Dan - I see you have the same Bilsteins. Can you confirm they use the OEM bolts and both bolts are identical? (No camber bolts) Also while I'm asking the rear I think I fitted...

Yes - they are both like that. I was expecting to get alignment done but I assumed it would be ok for a few miles whilst the setup beds in. I assumed swapping coilover for coilover the setting would be close enough.

http://50.6.73.68/picit/1433621294.9623.iPicit.jpg Here is what I'm talking about. I think my only options are to raise the rideheight or adjust the control arms. I can't swap the bolt until next week

Hi, I installed some Bilstein Coilovers today and the install went fine. However I discovered my car was running V-maxx Coilovers already and it would appear the top suspension bolt has a cam on it which I guess is a basic camber adjustment. The bilsteins just use a regular bolt. The bilsteins...

The squeak seemed to fix itself. :)

Hi - I used to own a trophy with the OEM system. I found it a bit quiet. I bought a 182 with a K-Tek centreline supersports system with decat. It was way too loud combined with a K-TEk intake. I now only run the KTek back box and the rest of the intake / exhaust is OEM. It's hugely better but...

I think these cars are ideal. Thing do break but they are so cheap and supplies so plentiful it's easy to fix. They are also at a technology level which makes maintenance possible for the most part. I bought mine cheap and have enjoyed bringing it back to a1 condition. I feel like Ed China...
