How does the way it's measured change how changing wheels effects toe??

Thought that was the case, I can't remember the centre bore for the vauxhall and don't know the Clio offsets. Just hoped someone had already tried this. Only ask as I know someone selling some compomotive mo5's in Vaux fitment

Vauxhall fitment wheels, will they fit a 182?? Thanks

April 1st around mid day by the way

Anyone on here?

Exactly my thoughts, the front end will get repaired and put back to how it should be but at the moment it'll do.. Oh and I had a closer look the other day, the xenons look more grey than black in the flesh. Have never seen two sets side by side so don't know how dark or light the grey should be.

I would, I like stiff damping at the rear though.. New non cup up front should be good. Not sure if they fit, but I'd try cup/eibach/cook sport springs all round, new oe fronts and new cup rear dampers

Thanks for the comments by the way!!

Yeah, that had more hidden problems than a stroke waiting to happen!!

Its the potentiometer (sp??) inside the throttle pedal. It has two of them, one reads 0-100 and the other reads 100-0 (in %) The ECU reads both to make sure its correct and gives you power. Replace the throttle pedal to fix it!

Thanks to wakelinand his friend here's a video of my car on the dyno at Dynodaze. Sounds good I think to say it has a massive hole in the rear silencer!! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R6iV7nSbh6s

Hey, that was meeeeee!! Thanks for the video!! Good fun on the M69 on the way home too!

I'll be on the phone for one of those new exhausts in the next month or so Fred!!

Rears will go on I think, but fronts have different bolt spacing where the strut bolts to the hub. So change of hub, and possibly everything around it

Me and a friend was gonna do it to mine, so did some research

Thanks!! I like the washer blanks too!! But agreed the number plate needs attention! Will be getting front and rear clear plates when I've completed the next couple things on my to do list. Nearly got all the bits for a front end bush refresh, should be getting in touch with BTM about a new...

No worries, I've posted this car on a couple forums and all it's got is slating for its faults, not many compliments for the good bits. I do however appreciate people pointing out things.. Makes my list of things to do longer :) No, no mention of it having been repaired and in the moment I...

Exactly mate, I now know there's issues but working to fix them as and when I can afford it! I've been sorting all the mechanicals out first then I'll be making it look spot on!!

Yeah, thanks lads... Point out all the bad points that are obvious :/ I already noticed that there's been a repair :(

Don't know about he front bumper, previous owner bodge I think. Again previous owner fitted the washer blanks. And I know it's not a cup, I know it's a FF, it was after I posted the title I learnt the difference of FF and Cup on the 182. Can't find the button to change the title.

What do people think of the results??

Was at Dynodaze Rolling Road day today, met a lad off here with a black 172 (sorry I didn't a name!) Hre's the interesting bit;

I've heard, you can use a sodium carbonate solution (washing powder or something like) and scrub with a tooth brush. suppose to bring it up like new. Haven't tried it myself

stick your LEDs where you want them, remove parts of your headliner and a pillar to trace the two interior light wires to location closer to your LEDs, solder interior light live (+ve) to your LED +ve and interior light -ve to your LED -ve. Insulate solder joints with electrical tape or...

When me and MickPM did the throttle wiring on my car, most the cables looked to be 16/0.20... So that's what we used

I had this on mine.. Got worse over time and it tuned out it was simply over fuelling.. Previous owner had played with lambda wiring so wasn't running on and the ecu was just way over fuelling. New lambda and some wiring repairs by mick at diamond and it runs perfect

I imagine you wouldn't have to change the rack. Just don't connect the pipes at the rack (fit blanking bits)

Is there not a 3 port master cylinder you can use instead of blanking a port off? This is something I want to do to mine

Makes the rears stiffest you can cope with on the road and the fronts a couple clicks from full soft :)

When I've fitted coilovers, set both fronts the same amount of threads from the bottom and both rears the same as each other. Bolt to the car and see how it sits. Lower or raise to your tastes.. Just set it to what ever you want it to be like. No point fannying about over a few months. It'll...
