et38 will cut it close... better with a lower offset to be honest. Cant see it being a problem though, as theyre not actually touching

yeah, should be on the drivers B pillar on both cars. My car never came with one... no idea why though.

oil on the manifold? leaky gasket? dont know the engine, so wouldnt like to say.

try using a good polish on the areas, see if it helps. Otherwise, post pictures.

warm engine up, drail oil via sump plug (8mm sump socket), replace nut and washer. Change oil filter, refill with oil... nothing to it

yeah, unscrew the only screw that holds them on, pull the strip away from the door (at the screw end) to release it, then pull towards the rear of the car, job done.

looks great, now do the handles...then lower it ;) lol

when i ran without them the ride was bad, steering feel was crap, car felt like it was breaking up at anything over 50mph... In the end I was given spigot rings that were still a little off, they helped, but you could still feel it slightly, ended up shearing 3 wheel bolts on one wheel...

custom rear box, or if its a slight rattle you could maybe get away with raising the box a little if thats an option.

the section of pipe that comes out the rear silencer goes over the trailing arm, when you lower the car they get closer together and often knock, thats probably what youre hearing.

dampers probably wont last very long imo. My wheels are et38 and are 7" wide if i remember correctly, brings them 3mm closer into the arch than yours. 3mm is nothing though, its not that tight under the arches anyway.

mine is lowered 60mm on 17s, its nothing unusual. http://www.cruise-ayrshire.com/uploads/post-6-1113580924_thumb.jpg there are people on here with theres lowered 100mm+...

in a mk1? thought they didnt fit?

run softer tyre pressures at the rear adjust damping so its softer at the rear, if they have adjustable damping. get the camber set up properly or possibly tweaked...

think he meant the airbox, rather than the filter itself. just buy an induction kit so we dont have to laugh...;) i agree with the man who said about a boy racer prefering noise to power...

spax kit... http://www.motorsportworld.co.ukwww.motorsportworld.co.uk

look again, most aftermarket kits/coilovers have the hole for the braket on them, just a case of taking the bracket over.

abs sensor id imagine your fk coilovers should have that bit on them, minus the bit you can get off.

does it get driven? ;)

cf bonnets arent really my thing though, i prefer a more subtle look. although..! can see me liking it with black grilles!

nice, personally id loose the grille(s) and maybe spray the bonnet... different tastes though

182? arent they designed in such a way that they use oil?

check all fluid levels? particularly brake fluid.

heavy steering? worried about sidewalls? pfft, pussies ;) seriously though, steering doesnt get much heavier, and its worth it - but as fred said its down to driving style and preference. Do you like to park your car, or drive your car? :)

if it makes you feel better, mine failed on friday and is still off the road :(

besides calipers, carriers and pads obviously, what else would i need to put these on a 1.2?

if you go to renault itll be as good a match as somewhere mixing it, if not better. At the end of the day, its just a colour code they use to mix it normally. Some more better paint places will be able to match it to a panel using a spectrometer (think thats the right name, otherwise its...

ive dropped my tyres considerably, to around what fred suggested a while ago (although ive now forgot), and on the 17s i dont notice any increase in wear, but the difference in grip over standard tyre pressures is easily noticeable.

measure from the center of the bolts and you should be fine as i say though, most likely 58mm, cant think why itd be 52 or 54 on a 1.6 16v.
