I've realised this now mate, cheers! Like I said after the time between me fitting the spacers and siring the car again, the wobbling made me doubt my fitment! Will try and remedy it this week.
Yeah Tony now I'm thinking about it I fitted the spacer over the lip of the hub (flat side to the hub) it's a nice snug fit.
I fitted these 3 weeks ago and have just come back from my bloody honey moon! So after driving the car today and feeling the wobble that's why I've started doubting what...
Now that I'm sat here pondering on it. (Blonde moment) I'm pretty sure I've fitted these with the lip facing out towards the wheel. Am I right in saying the hub has a lip anyway and the spacer sits over that? Not the other way round?
It's been a long bloody day, and I'm far too tired to be...
Haha shite! Mine are around the wrong way then! The lip fits perfectly in the hub so that's why I assumed it went on that way.... Maybe that's why I'm getting the wobble?
Cheers Tony!
I will keep this brief as I don't want to repeat others. I've searched loads on this and had many of my questions answered. I've fitted H&R spacers front and rear (10mm) non hub centric with longer bolts.
Now here's the issue I get wobble at speed and I've come to to find out it could be s**t...
What a fantastic car mate! I used to work for a bodyshop and was lucky enough to deliver one of these beasts back to the customer! They sound fantastic and so much fun to drive! I've always liked them, especially the 156 GTA
It was tidy apart from the sills bud! ;) papermache had more density! It was the s-special with LSD and Bilstein shocks had such a laugh with it!
Your lights look good with the colour coded surrounds
Looks awesome mate! I still miss mine. They really are cracking little cars, anyone that gives you the stereotypical hairdresser comment has obviously never driven one! Your lucky yours has a hardtop! I had a brand new soft top and it still leaked like a sieve! (Have some seat covers to hand)...
I've got a phase 2 172, and really fancy a cup spoiler. Obviously It will need repspraying as they never made an "iceberg" cup, but is the spoiler a straight bolt on swap? And I assume the wiring for the high level brake light is the same?
Any help would be most apreciated cheers!
I've been looking at the whiteline arb seems like a good mod especially as the front end is now all sorted! Would I be better off getting a remap until after I get a full exhaust system? I'm going on my honeymoon this wknd with the "o'l ball and chain" but when I get back I'll get some photos up...
A couple of times now I've seen a blue 182, and a silver 182. The silver car is parked on its driveway near the scout hut, and i was driving behind you the other week! I literally live just down the road by the Chineham Arms!
Keep passing you two on the Hanmore road
Anyone on here!?
Hi guys,
here's a list of whats on my car in its current state:
ktr solid top mounts, koni dampers, eibach coils, ktr uprated engine mounts, powerflex arb, wishbone, and dogbone bushes, goodridge brake lines, k&n panel.
Everything is up together ie: cambelt, brakes, bearings, service, but...
Cheers guys,
Theres no noise at all when i'm turning the car at any speed. literally just when i pull away, or if i boot while already rolling. Ive checked the car and allthough i've had new engine mounts the twisted dog bone mount hasnt been replaced. So I'm going to get poly bushes for those...
Hi guys,
I've only had my 2nd 172 for three weeks now and its already costing me quite a bit to sort the issues that the careless previous owner didn't care about! I've just replaced the rear discs and pads, as the bearings were noisy. Turns out its actually the near side front that needs...
Hey guys just a quick question. I've just gone to change my cabin filter on my phase two 172, and it didn't have one fitted lol!? So my query is how does the filter sit? Does it just sit length ways over the inlet? Or pushed into the inlet? A Random question I know but because there wasn't an...
Hey guys,
I've bought my 2nd phase two 172! And sold my old one well over a year ago! So thought I'd get back into touch on the forum! As you can see from my picture my last Clio was very marmite...... But I've grown up and my tastes have dramatically changed lol!
Last week i bought my new...
I really don't get how some people **** others off and then call them "chavs" because they are doing something different. I didn't realise my wheels offended you so much! I did it because I wanted to do it and I fancied playing around with a rattle can. I didn't do it just because no one else...
Let's do a poll then. I'm pretty sure there's fewer clio's with bright wheels as aposed to anthracite!? And even fewer people doing something different with their car instead of the expected norm?
Yeah i do think it looks good. Explain how that makes me a chav? You dont even know me. But while were all assuming here. I suppose your classed as a legend because you have anthracite wheels!? Get over yourself mate! I will send you a pm when i see some yellow tow straps on ebay im sure you...
