    182 for 172 cup interior deal

    I'm curious what you guys think a 182 interior is worth. I have been offered a 172 interior and £100 for my 182 interior, which I'd quite happily do as it'll all be gone soon anyway, but I do not want to be underselling it massively. Thoughts?

    Stripped Clio weight

    How low have people got them down to? and What was involved with getting to such a weight?

    Outer dust seal on front callipers

    Mine is torn - is it as bad as it seems and death will result from not having it or have I got a bit of time to sort it? Essentially, how good is the inner seal?

    Where to buy DS2500s from

    As per title. I'm aware BTM sell them, but where else can I get them from?

    Removing PAS Pump for electric item

    Mine is on the way out - whining like mad! This gave me the idea of perhaps opting for a slightly more reliable electric pump, but I'm curious if anyone has ever.... A. Removed the PAS pump while retaining aircon. B. Replaced it was an electric pump. If the answer is yes, what did you do...

    Knocking steering rack.

    As per the title really. My steering rack appears to have developed a slight knock when moving the wheel side to side. The only time it's really been touched was when it was unbolted to drop the subframe when changing my gearbox. The knocking appears to be internal to the rack. I have two...

    Pulling engine/gearbox forward on mounts.

    I'm getting some vibration from what I think is the exhaust hitting the subframe. I've moved the engine mount as far forward as it will go, but it is still there. I'm trying to work out how the upper gearbox mount works and if there is any adjustment on that, but failing miserably. So my...

    DF074 - Steering wheel angle Active coherence

    I took my OEM wheel off and fitted an aftermarket job and the ESP light lit up - the resulting code was "DF074 - Steering wheel angle Active coherence" I've since replaced the OEM wheel and there is no difference. I think I centred it correctly, ensuring the little window was yellow before...

    Oil and filter for high mileage engine

    Im doing Silverstone next month and plan on doing the oil before I go. Now I don't believe that the OEM recommendation is still optimal for both a high mileage engine and the stresses of track work. Thoughts?

    small sub?

    So I have my front components (running from amp) in and relocated the cheap but better than standard FLI items that were in the front to the back (running from the headunit). I've played around with levels and various settings on my Sony head unit and I'm almost at a stage where I'm happy with...

    Fitting component speakers

    I'm just curious what people usually do. Would you splice in to the existing speaker cables behind the headunit somewhere to run to the amp, or would you make an attempt to run new cables in to the doors? Where would you usually place the crossover and tweeters? Second question, has anyone...

    Hankook S1 Evo

    Just came second in an Evo tyre test for 2012. Has anyone found these in 205/45/16 though?

    Talk to me about rollcages.

    A rollcage would be the next step for me, and certainly one that'll be high on the priority if the Clio performs well at Silverstone in February. I want to keep my options open regarding competition, so whatever I consider should be FIA certified (or equivalent) and blue book compliant...

    Pattern Crank sensor not working

    Ok, so I bought a pattern crank sensor from a company on Amazon which did not work - I thought nothing of it and went to find another, which I eventually sourced from my local SES. The item is a Fuel parts labeled part. The problem is, this one does not work either - the car just does not fire...

    New shocks and springs - top mount issue

    182 cup dampers, eibach sport line springs - one side seems ok, but the other side had the top hat sitting miles abou the turret. Obviously this leaves a lot of play. Took shock back out and everything appears assembled correctly - spring plate, bearing (tried both ways), top mount, revised...

    Oz f1 paint code and decals

    Where can I find the paint code and yellow decals for oz f1s?

    ph1 boss on ph2

    What are the differences? I've seen posts on here where people have claimed they have fitted ph2 wheels/bosses on ph1, so a boss supposedly intended for a ph2 should fit, no?

    Wishbone and ARB Powerflex bushes

    I understand how the wishbone ones are fitted and it looks simple enough. Is it really necessary to tack the collars in place though? Also, what are the ARB bushes like to fit?

    Pattern TDC/Crank sensor

    Any reason not to use one? They are surely too ridiculously simple to get wrong? More interested in actual experience than conjecture.

    Creaking under braking/acceleration

    This has been an ongoing issue for quite a while now. Three different mechanics across two different garages have looked at it now after I failed to diagnose it, and they've had no more luck. It sounds like it's something under a lot of load, kind of "high friction" creaking (a bit like a...

    Brake pads for track day

    Looking for value here really. I don't mind spending money on decent pads, but I won't spend ridiculous money for pads that are just a little better. Gut feel seems to be DS2500 with a co-efficient of .42 or the DS3000 at 0.54. The cheapest I've found is £130 and £160 respectively. Is there...

    Cheapest place for 182 cup shocks

    As per title really, Renault weren't confident they'd found the correct ones and want £60+vat per corner pretty much. Also looking for top mounts. What are the options for shocks? Who makes the OE ones and are there any better pattern alternatives around?

    182 cup suspension options.

    I have a cup packed 182 and I'm looking for new suspension. Mine is becoming tired and figure it might be time to cough up that little extra and get something decent. What are my options? I have an absolute maximum budget of £700, but the lower the better as if I can squeeze some new bushes...

    182 Cup pack -> 172 suspension

    If I swap out my hubs for 172 hubs, is it as simple as that? Is there anything else I need to consider?

    Rumbling under acceleration

    This appears to be most prominent over 5k rpm. It appears to coincide with the steering feeling snatchy, and almost sounds like the car is hesitating/missing but not if that makes sense. I've recently done the gearbox, water pump and aux belt tensioner, however a friend who has recently had...

    What colour is my car?

    It's probably a dumb question, but I have a Silver 182FF. Now I understand the Clio was sold in two different silvers, so how can I establish which one it is?

    Argh snapped aux tensioner square hole

    It's completely my own fault - In the absense of a proper tool, I put a 1/4 drive extension through the little hole where the headlight usually resides, which prevents you getting the full swing of the tensioner. I'm fuming with myself to be honest after I just had to cough up to replace a 6...

    Those who've gone PE2 -> PS3

    What did you think of them compared to the PE2? How did they compare wet and dry? I've heard reports of softer sidewalls - is there any truth to this? I'm anxious to try the PS3 at around £40 a corner cheaper than the best price I can find for PE2s. Can we limit this thread to objective (and...

    Anyone have a good gearbox laying around

    I'm trying to establish whether my old diff is actually the issue in the gearbox I have removed. Could you turn the diff while the box is in neutral and tell me whether there is a slight clicking noise or if it is completely smooth and silent? Could be a silly question, but someone has...
