I've taken the rear seats out to reveal the metal floor, but can someone tell me what the two materials marked on the picture are, whether I can remove them without leaving any problem areas beneath, and how? Thanks,

Not really sure what section to put this in, so apologies if it's in the wrong place! As it was easy to do, I thought I'd take the rear seats out of the car as a few people had said that you can hear the exhaust a fair bit better and there may be some weight loss benefits. You can definately...

Anyone know what the going price is for a couple of mint condition secondhand Recaro Trendlines is including subframes?

I've run a search, but didn't find to much that was helpful, I was surprised at that as I thought this was a common complaint? Anyway when the clutch pedal moves I get an annoying squeeking noise, getting down to have a look at it, there's a cable running through a rubber gromit that looks...

Does anyone know what the rules are governing front indicators? Obviously I'd think you must have them (BMW's being the exception to the rule), but are there minimum size requirements? Or in therory could you get away with something like one LED?

Anyone got any opinions on the best 'off the shelf' coilover suspension currently available for a 182? Bilstein PSS9 from Yozzasport? The new AST set up? KW variant 3 again from Yozzasport?

I'm quite new at using photoshop and I was hoping that someone with a bit more knowledge could tell me how to replace the Italian flag with a French one on the image below? I've tried cuting and pasting the French flag over the original and can get as far as distorting the image to match the...

Has anyone read about the new Mini John Cooper Works (Evo 116, p26)? They say that it has DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) - a system that when turned off, is programmed to work like a limited-slip differential. BMW first showed the technology on the 135i and apparently Mercedes has something...

When Renault brought out the 182 I believe they extended the track by using wheels with an offset of ET45. So is that as far as you can go? By using a wheel with an offset of ET44 (or 43 or 42 etc.) the track would be further increased. I'm guessing that increasing the track too far would have...

Don't know if it's been posted in the past - I was looking for something totally different and found this - thought it looked ok, at least it's something different anyway!

Someone recently said in another post that their car feels faster on some days than others. I also feel that sometimes my 182 seems quicker or slower on some drives - sometime even on the same day! Now I know that my car should be happier running in cold dense air than it would be on a baking...

Does anyone know if OZ still manufacture the old motorsport wheels like in the photoshop below? I know they used to have them on escort cosworths when they rallied and more recently on the fiesta rally cars, but I can't find them anywhere! Any ideas? I know that Compomotive do something very...

Two very clean racing blue 182's going back to Kent through the Dartford tunnel. Crboys signwriten on the sill?

Think it might have been Monaco blue, but not sure. Aftermarket alloys and exhaust - sounded very nice and looked spot on. I was in the inferno 182, I'm sure you saw me ;)

Probably a repost, but thought this was pretty good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymmgk7poVPQ&feature=related

Been quoted £665.96 - is this about right/well over the odds? Thanks,

Blue 182 parked next to a modified Skoda Octavia VRS estate on the road entering King's Hill Estate, near West Malling this evening at around 17:30. Didn't think much of the Skoda, the blue lights and reflective graphics were a touch over the top if you ask me...

A friend of mine has just bought a 51 plate Clio dynamique. When you turn the ignition on (without starting the engine) there is a buzzing noise that seems to be coming from behind the dash near the stereo. The best I can liken it to is the noise of an electric razor. My 182 doesn't do it...

A kind passenger broke the grab handle on my 182. It looks like a simple fix as it's only the spring that's become detached - stoping it returning to it's normal position. Re-fitting the spring while the handle is still attached to the roof lining seems like a difficult job, so I thought I'd...

Using forged pistons to increase the compression ratio slightly to 11.8:1 will there be an increased risk of detonation without doing anything else to the engine or management?

I bought some Rota Slipstreams a while ago and was planning on using them as track wheels, the size was 16" x 7" with an offset of ET45 (to my knowledge the same as the standard Renault 182 wheels). They came with plastic spacers to fit snugly to the hub. When fitted to the hubs (with spacers)...

Does anyone know if the clear front plastic section of the headlight unit can be removed without causing damage? It looks like it's been glued/bonded to the casing using some type of silicon sealant.
