    What colour cage?

    i wouldn't bother with a cage. especially a show cage. anthracite if you must tho.

    How much is my car lowered by?

    sportlines are red but its way too low for sportlines. i think they are g-max looks between 50 and 70mm lower at a guess.

    On your driveway...

    yep, i have done a lot of thinking about it and im fairly sure i can run the 182. plus if i buy an older car, chanches are its less reliable and may need some work doing on it etc. i know my car well and its up to scratch on everything. see how it goes...

    On your driveway...

    how mine is sitting on the drive now in the rather grim weather. im in the process of buying a house with my girlfriend, first house for both of us. puting offers in now so fingers crossed and the 182 will have a new drive to sit on :) just hope i can afford to run it and not have to sell it :(

    Exhaust advice for clio sport turbo

    i would prob say yozza tbh. i would run the standard cat tho, no point in sports cat, and i wouldn't run a decat with a turbo because a certain ammount of back pressure can benefit a turbo. im supprised the oem exhaust is still in one peice!

    Vmaxx slammed!

    dont cut any springs, not even a spare set! just get some custom ones made up.

    engine dead....

    yeah, i would feel confident for k-tec to do it too. well i suppose you could get a local garage to have a quick look or if you can get it to k-tec that might be best. sorry i cant really help tbh. hope you get it sorted.

    fastest clio

    all being totally standard i would say 200, ph1 172 or 182 trophy. it would be close tbh. there is really not a lot in it across the whole range. williams are bloody quick too.

    engine dead....

    when was the cambelt last done? what kind of noise did it make when it stopped working and when you tried to start it?

    Vmaxx slammed!

    far too low on the front to drive. rear looks great but front needs to go up an inch or so at least.

    toyo t1rs vs uniroyal rainsports

    how do you drive? fast round every corner? mainly motorways? fuel efficient with the occasional blast on a b road? track?

    DOGBONE BUSHES (THE SOLUTION )! ?

    i find tthat my 182 with k-tek (vibra technics) engine mounts and poly dogbone does add a little more vibration. but not enough to put me off using it as a daily drive. slightly noticable increase in vibration at idle but when your rolling and going through the gears it is a fantastic...

    Sold the 182 Yesterday

    i will be sad when the 182 has to go :( might go soon to free up some funds. im thinking ph1 172, or mk1 williams, or mk1 valver. looked a tidy car mate.

    What new tyres (195/50/15)

    i have found that t1-r last me just over as year on the front. they grip well in the dry, not as good in the wet. but not dangerously slippy. i dont tend to push the car to its limits in the wet. good all round tyre for the price imo. you might have to play around with the pressures a little to...

    Getting cold air

    you will struggle to get cold air into an open cone filter. tbh (no offence) its not worth getting cold air into a 1.2, you wont notice any difference.

    Clio 172 Induction Kit

    because the airfeed pipework is restrictive due to the material, small diameter pipe and bends in the pipework. the opening in the airbox that the airfeed pipe goes into is much bigger in diameter than the feed pipe.

    Clio 172 Induction Kit

    trust me, remove the top air feed in the side of the airbox. it sounds a lot better and deeper.

    Clio 172 Induction Kit

    standard airbox, pannel filter, remove top airfeed and acoustic valve. cheap, nice sounding, good performance.

    RS Gearboxs.............who's had problems

    ktr uprated engine mounts seemed to have helped smooth my gearchanges. my car is on 55k and running really well. im not too rough through the gears and the car does get driven hard on a regular basis, not every trip, but often enough. i also try to rev match when downhifting. might start using...
