Right, need some help with working this out.
Standard bolts have a 23mm long thread. I've currently got longer bolts in, but ignore that for now..
I'm running 10mm spacers all round, meaning that I would now need 33mm long bolts right?
On rally designs, they sell the following lengths...
My mate stacked his car the other day, said i'd have a look round it to see what needs repairing tomorrow.
Anything specific that I should look at that i might not notice striaght away? Front end, I think it drives. Bumper off etc, slam panel fooked too.
Any way to see if the engine would...
Just drove a 200 mile trip to York and back in my 182, averaging 50.4mpg on the way there and down to 48mpg on the way back because of a bit of traffic!
Really shocked, needle still reading above half a tank left!
Was driving slwly on the way there, about 60-65 as i left home an hour earlier...
I know there was somehting upon here about how much weight lost directly from a wheel calculates to rotational loss......anyone got a link to it? Or an external link please?!
Now I feel like a right r****d! I've fitted coilovers, new brakes and numerous other bits and bobs on my cars, but never changed the front wipers, and I'm stumped!

I'm after some more info.
I was looking at this set on ebay, and have asked a few questions about it to the seller...
Broke my camera screen at the weekend, its a Casio I think, but its got a crack in it and the ink has leaked etc. Camera still works but struggle to make the screen out.
Can they get repaired, similar to phone screens, or am I better off scrapping it and buying another?
Is it as simple as I'm expecting?
Caliper off and out the way, old disc off, new disc on?
Do I need to cipper slip the rear of the disc a bit on the mating face?
Just wondering what other companies make the solid front top mounts for the Clios other than K-Tec?
Are they all the same or is 1 set better than another?
Edit - I take it the original bearings are used? Seems obvious but just checking.
Just been out for a spin and noticed theres a grinding kind of noise coming from the rear of the car....
Pads were changed 2 months ago, and had no problems before that I have noticed. The discs seem in 'decent' condition however I was going to change them in around 6 months time....
Any ideas?
Gonna be fitting my new discs soon, I bought them new but second hand if you knwo what I mean, in the box came 2 new Torx screws, but each disc uses 2. Will the original ones be ok to use or do they need to be replaced too?
If they do, where can I buy some? Part number?
Thanks,
I recently bought an item (new front discs) and the item ad said £25 postage on it. I questioned this before bidding asking why it was so much, along with another question. The second question was answered but the postage one was ignored, but because they were so cheap I just bidded and won...

He used to work for a Clio cup team, and recently set up and raced an EP3 CTR in the Britcar 24hour and came 6th overall!!!

Will this damage the car?
Can't get the one out of my standard Cat so thinking of buying a new one at renault on monday, will it cause any damage?
How much are new Lambda sensors?
Help quick please.
Bloke at work said to me that I should have the brake bias reset due to lowering my car.
Something to do with less weight shift due to being stiffer so need more braking going to the rear?
Never heard of this so guessing it's s**t?
Fitted my rear strut brace last night, at first it was spot on, but then after a while it has started squeaking/tapping :S
I've checked numerous times that it's all tight etc, but it kept doing it.
I've just taken it off and all is good, no noise or anything. So is there any way to stop this...
Want to get a bucket seat and 4 point harnesses in my car asap, but just thinking about where I would mount the harnesses to the left and right hand side of the seat?

Is it as simple as I think it will be?!
I take it I need no special tools, just my socket set and some brute force, or do I need to replace anything?
Going to fit a decat to my standard 182 system.
So far to my car I have removed:
Rear seats
Boot carpet
Rear carpets
Isofix bar and cover
Rear 3 seatbelts
Some random plastic bits.
Was just wondering, will it be worth removing the rear door cards and parcel shelf supports? From playing with them today to remove the seatbelts they don't...
Since my car is pretty low, the Cat scrapes most of the time!
Now I could lift it up, but I'm also on the search for a little more noise, so thinking a decat may be the way forward?
I saw in the for sale thread that the Milltek one won't fit a standard exhaust? So Do any of them fit?

I wimped out of a mad colour to begin with, tyres came a few days before i expected them to so in a mad rush I decided on matt black, which i now love!!

What tyre pressures should I run on the road?
Currently got 30 in the back and 33 up front, but the tyres seem pretty squashed when still, and a bit wallowy when driving?
Any advice?
Didn't really consider these too much, even said I wouldn't buy the in another thread!!
But would they be reccomended?
Will they be better to drive with compared with 195 50's?
I know they'll help me to go lower, but I want my car to be all about handling really, bearing in mind the roads I...
My handbrake is pretty rubbish, so wondering if I need new cables fitting, or if it just needs adjustment?
Car has done 36k miles.
Also, anyone know how much new cables are? And roughly how much fitting would be?
