Yea.

Ok, did cambelt. Locked cams. Locked crank at TDC based on piston 1 (took a while), replaced dephaser, new belt on, tensioned up, tightened everything up, aux belt on, tensioner on (pain in ass). Hand cranked engine on crank bolt, clockwise, all fine. Also during the work I put new spark plugs...

I am going to take the tensioner off completely and pretension it and then refit. Is this the easiest method? I'll clamp the bugger first.

Yea I guess.

As per title. Could NOT get mine to lock the crank :/

Ahh ok, just to undo them. Ok tah. When I am less tired I'll have anther go. I always find things are 10x harder when yer tired. Just bought a vibratechnics upper mount to replace the one I just broke...may as well eh? :)

Ok. So the tool bending on the exhaust cam will have allowed the timing to go out. What's the point of the pulley locking tool.

Yes: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400546844728?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I think this is not the one I wanted though. The D tool locks the cams no? What else would they do? These cams have no woodruff key correct? So the timing mark on the pulley means squat surely?

So, picked up a 182 a couple of weeks ago. Very loud dephaser and after 400 miles it's misfiring badly too. So I get the tools and cambelt and depahser. Strip it down (lots to take off it seems to me? Mk1 easier) engine jacked up, check TDC, fit locking tool at the back of the cams. First...

Okee I will lol. The 888's are barely legal on two of the tyres though and one has a puncture now :(

Oooh! Nice one Coopsie :D I've got these sat about at home: The blue on silver might be fun :)

Ahh just what I needed :) Thank you!

Ok great as I have two sets of Williams alloys here with AD08's and R888's on :D

Do they come with a top hat mount or do you have to use OEM ones? http://www.kamracing.co.uk/renault-clio-mk2-bilstein-b14-coilover-kit-182-cup.html All the pics I have seen show no top hat thing for these.

Cool thanks lads, this is just what I wanted to know :)

Hi mate, Wobba here.Just got a 182 myself. Standard pretty much. To compare back to back, the 182 is much better built with much better stuff etc. Very quiet compared to Willy! the 182 has a nice spread of torque and can be driven hard, though compared to my total nutter spec Willy it's tame...

I am picking up a Clio 182 this weekend as my daily car after the M5 got totalled. It is a FF Cup chassis car. I'm looking to fit some different alloys, probably 15" 2118's, but I am wondering at the tyre size options. Is it the 172's that use the 195/50's or do 182's run these normally as...

Oh, I forgot: 12.5 high compression. Straight line, the M5 beats it. On the bends though, Clio really shines, wipes the floor with heavy M5.

^ great pics there :) My Clio is by no means a minter anymore, but it's no dog either! The spec of the Williams at mo is: F7R700 B/E: Forged pistons/rods/ARP bolts plus balanced anf lightened etc. F7R714 cylinder head: Hillpower polished and ported, with 213 CatCams and verniers Supersprint...

Until recently , a daily driver. A nice 182 raced after me today to say hello in Locks Heath. I pootle in urban areas at a max of 30, and always if oil isn't up to temps. If you read this buddy, shame you turned off before motorway...would have show you how an old Mk1 Clio wtfpwns my V8 5.0L M5...

Valvers too, they can be specced to Williams level or higher anyway... I've been cruising in my Williams for some time till recently, M5 has taken it's place as daily runner...but it is still with me, and always will be. When you drive this car after the M5, which is an AWESOME car too...it's a...

Will order tomorrow :) Thanks.

Did you need to use their CPS adapter as well and is the Ford CPS the same plug size as, say, coolant temp sensor or injector size? Thanks.

I am at the end of my AD08's on the ITB Williams. I had R1R's before that. A little track work on both tyres. Performance in the dry goes to the R1R. Better feedback due to stiffer sidewalls (in my case) but more road noise and harsher ride. Sometimes made me pooh my pants in heavy wet weather...

Out in the Williams???

Thanks. That was me :) I would have waved but was not sure you saw me till you went off round. I have seen your yellow Mk2 before, but I think I was in a different car that time.

I think they are set to Catcams recommended setting for the 213's. It could be messed about with but tbh it's seriously awesome and nice and driveable as is. I am now looking at thicker torsion bars for the rear as the front is now pretty darn stiff, rear needs a bit more attention too now...

I agree ^

Who cares. They makes springs, not websites.

This happened to me once, except it was a young lady. She gave me a huge mouthful of abusive when I pointed out the dent and got back in her car and drove off screaming. What could I do? Kick crap out of her? Police didn't care and car park owners didn't want to know.
