You know, I've always said that too but my current 182 van on a standard exhaust and epas is actually very nice to live with! Although I don't daily it, I'm sure I could!

I bought new replacement ones from autodoc and they sit nicely as the standard ones had movement in them

Always wondered what these were for. I bin them lol

As above fiddly but they go in ok as long as you make sure you are at the right angle. I retained the clips but was very tempted to go without them as above. I can't remember off the top of my head but will jacking the car higher, possibly removing the bottom bolts from the rear dampers give...

First thing I remove on a car these days. Who steals wheels now???!!!

Cold rear tyres and shot rear dampers would be my guess. The rear is very unpredictable and horrible when the rear dampers are gone. They won't always have oil leaking down them either so don't assume they are all good because there is no sign of leaks

I changed a throttle body and accelerator pedal with no luck before finding the big white plug! Contact cleaner and job was good!

Adding people changes the gear ratios????

as above all could be possible, injectors was the first thing that came to my head. ideal time for an upgrade lol

definitely, but I suppose the key is the experience of having done a load of them and having the space and tools to do it. My Clio conversion took me the best part of 6 months by the time I got it on the road. Doing a few hours a night and the odd weekend, sourcing parts etc but that was...

not start to finish but I've helped finish one off that was already done, and done other similar conversions. Its on my wish list to build one maybe this winter

mot ready to a good usable standard surely, its not a hard job when you have a donner car

i dont own a valver but assume you can fit 195/50/15 on those wheels? set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3 would do lovely on it! Tyre performance has come on a lot in the last 20 years so it would transform a valver! Thats lovely BTW! interested if it goes up for sale lol

where's the pics?! You cant post a title like that and then not show any pics!!!

sounds good, need to get some drive by videos where its under load

When you have done a few surely it's a weekends work? Worst case a week. If I got £1k for a weeks work I would be delighted!

Ive got to say I've had this out almost every dry day after work. In all my days of driving 172/182 I've never had so much fun as I do in this. It's comedy as when your in a genuine 182 the young lads in the slow cars leave you alone and the boys in the golf R's bully you. But in this, tip it...

i never understand people struggling to get it, my local scrappy has at a guess 20 non RS epas clios in, as does most of the others close by

I've not done it before but they look the same externally to me except the starter motor is on the front on the jb1 and rear in jb3. I would take a good guess that you can use the current shafts

I will own a kei car at some point, I must!!! However, as cool as I feel they are, I bet in reality they are pretty garbage lol Checkout the mighty car mods videos of Marty's daihatsu Mira

Looking forward to the update post when you have taken it above 5k lol

What causes the brake pedal switch to cause this??! Sounds very odd

Surprised its not been stolen in Whitburn.

I don't have any experience with aftermarket seats so can't give an opinion. I've removed the spacers that go between the seat and carpet on the standard seats and dropped the seats a few mm, feels much nicer!

I was never that impressed by the seats in my trophy, they looked nice but I found they were no more supportive than the standard seats, which are also cumfier. I never found they sat any lower, at least not enough that it was noticeable.

As above sill, unless it's a V6 🙊

They will tramline on full throttle on the 16s over rough surfaces but not in a way that feels in natural or takes away from the drive. If it's wandering about the road, assuming the basics like good quality tyres and tyre pressures are all ok then have a look at the track rod ends and inner...

My mate had this issue on his twingo with the same ARB using the recommended part number. I ordered a different part number from him and they were perfect. They listed I think 3x part numbers for the 172/182 when they all use the same ARB! Unfortunately I don't remember what the part no was 😂

Following! I've had an itch for one for a few years and never had the balls to do it. All the people building them, loving them then selling them a few months later with no explanation why always plays in the back of my mind. But there does now appear to be a few long term owners now that it's...

Yeah tuition is a fantastic idea and worth more than any mod! I've known standard dampers to be shot after a few years depending on conditions and use and springs so it's worth looking at. For a dedicated track car there will be better options I'm sure for replacements but the stock ones are...
