Has anyone had issues of the wrong sleeve supplied? I fitted one on Saturday and the bolt hole in the sleeve for the smaller end was 2mm too small. Had to have it drilled out to fit.
Fred, did you get a price for these selector seal kits? Think I need one as the box is leaking from there after taking hard knock from some stupid shaped tarmac that jolted the whole car :/ How much would you charge to fit one?
All those suggestions are on my list! Some other bits and bobs more urgent to be honest. There's loads that needs doing on this really, want to make it look as OE as possible too.
Mine as it is. 16" wheels just aren't for me at the minute as I prefer the price of tyres on 15's.
Any one got some pics of LY on bright silver alloys?
So, I cleaned the Clio again today.. 4th time in 4 weeks :O For me that's alot!!!! Also gave the engine bay a once over too. Today consisted of Autoglym shampoo, SRP and deep gloss shine. Was going to go find some decent backdrops for photo's but isn't very sunny so can't be arsed! So hear's the...
Hi folks, been on here since getting my first Clio back in November. It's a LY 182 FF, absolutely love it!
Any way time to get started with the project thread! Bought the car like this;
The write up on Pistonheads was this;
As standard the car comeswith the following:

Hi, I've got a LY 182 with anthracite Speedline 2120's. 15x6.5j. Just thinking about getting some different wheels or re powdercoating mine. Looking for pictures of LY182's with different colour wheels to help me decide.
Thanks

I wouldn't expect to see 350Amps going through to starter. Most classic cars with huge starter motors use 170Amp battery...
Just had this on my mums 1.9 Z3.. Was the water pump bearings.. Made a horrid noise for a few months so change the pump and sorted. easy on these by the way!!
If you need a resistor pack Mick at diamond motors has my old one which he is repairing. Maybe get that one and just replace instead of sending yours off??
I've got a super sport and decat on my 182. It's loud and drowning at motorway speeds but I just cruise at 60 and its fine. Mine has the 98 octane map too which helps apparently.. Bought it like this. But over all I'd say yes it good mod to do
Whats wrong with GAZ's? Had them on my 2L Corsa with 300lb springs and it was brilliant on track, have them on my 182 and they're very compliant on the road with not much body roll.
Larger offset meaning narrower track??? How would that help? I thought it would give less stability in cornering.
and a stiff RARB will make it turn in/swap ends faster/better too
I have 10mm spacers to fit and I think 2 deg shims already on. Can't wait to see how it'll look. I thought it would run with 15's as its lowered on speedline wheels
