mine wears this bad boy http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/172gaz/19032011423.jpg

Mate i work with had a basic Clio back in the day. Lowered, big can exhaust, motorword special wheels. Anyhows he ended up running over someone, he ended up up the screen/on the roof. (he was fine btw!) Mods weren't insured, got a full pay out. Years ago I had a Punto GT with a full decatted...

Superb! Bar the nipple ring... ;)

put money on you opening the bonnet to look at said car during sale? Its not a dodgy bonnet catch, but a sticky safety catch, so the bonnet want shut properly in the first place.... ooops

Shut it kevels, Silver is best with Mondial ;) Turins are a 172 Cup... non of this pish 2118 spaz. Lack of centre caps ftl

White wheels go yellow and are a mare to live with. I had some white MO's on my Punto GT. Also, imo white doesnt work well with the cupped red Brembo's...

Re: Newbie stupid question - how do I tell if my 182 has Cup chassis and/or suspensio Sure fire way is to measure the bolt holes where the strut bolts to the hub. Should read 60mm. Will have to whip a front wheel off though.

Lovely Some pro lines would sort out the slight arse down stance the Cups tend to develop over time. Pretty much o.e height, slight tighten up on the handling over stock too.

:quiet:

One of the vans at work had a fault with the blowers, wouldn't work. They are serviced by a pikey when out of warranty. Fella who's van it is was getting irate, so had a look himself. Removed said pollen filter, poof, fan start working! Just goes to show how blocked it must have been!

Tappets are quite a popular diagnosis in the North West i'm lead to believe ;)

Thats what silicone is made for ;) Just had a quick nose, Water in mine seems to be coming in then running down this box section, which then leaks out into the tool recess..... Just whipped out the rear cluster, and sealed round these for now, (they have foam seals) But my...

I'm on the case as we speak. So far i've found its getting in whilst standing rain.... I *think* its looking like the O/S light cluster. It runs through the box section where the boot strike is, then out and pools in the boot. Under my tool kit i bet there was 1/2 a pint of water!

Its not the belt so much but the pulleys/tensioners that break up. Its hard to say, might be fine for a year, might slip when you first turn the key when you test drive it!

I'd take that with a pinch of salt tbh. Opie oils only push the brands they sell..... The stuff he sells is top spec, not really needed in a clio.....hense him dissing elf stuff. This is what Renault recommend, and is what the engine would have been developed with. Longs its the same spec, there...

I'd personally say the rear needs more height?

New rear dampers were around £90each when I bought one a few years ago

Not sure they can be? I bought new when a seal failed on mine.

Leave it like that, remove the nipple ring, done. Looks perfect as it is imo

My old un It *may* have needed a clean

be reet ;)

be perfect for selling a car with 'mint' alloys, would save on a £200 refurb Once its driven off its too late when they start peeling three weeks later ;)

I cant see it being next year if i'm honest. The RS variants tend to be released 6 months after the cooking models And what's all this Williams talk? They aren't successful at the moment. Renaultsport is now a brand in its own right, which it wasnt back in 1994.

they seem good, just done a quote with them, these and Directline are the cheapest by a few £100. Gonna ring them about coilovers tomorrow!

Odds on the full kit not being fitted? Remember, its the actual pulley's not the belts that usually let go ;)

Also quicker down the twisties till they end up on their roof iirc?

They're ;)

Its not a Renault without one imo!

Nice got a tub in the shed somewhere when i had my BG 182. Should dig it out really, smells of win!

This I'd rather believe this guy, bet he knows what positive camber looks like ;)
