I'm gonna invest in some additional security but when I browsed Halfords for steering wheel thingies, I found they also do locks that go over the handbrake and round the gear stick. Opinions on either please ?

thanks that's an excellent guide, if I brave it will take lots of pics and try and write it up for on here.

Anyone seen any good DIY guides on making custom sub enclosures to consume otherwise useless space. What do you use to mask up the area? How do you join the fibreglass bit to the rest of an enclosure made of mdf ? etc ?

IMHO I don't think spoilers suit Clios at all, the Trophy one is about as big as anyone should push it.

so they didn't keep the radiator up front like in an Elise ?

Could someone post a pic of what's under the bonnet please ? I'm curious. I know the engines behind the seats, so what's under the bonnet ?

I get a clunk, but it's after you're actually rolling, and only when forwards, a few moments before the auto central locking goes.

yeah, the more quotes in there the better it'll become, makes more sense than posting limited info here ;) now I'm an official member, maybe I can convince one of the admins to big it up a little more for me.

Spike, forgot to highlight the "quote compare tool". http://www.insurancequotes.org.uk/quotes/?m=&t=car&s=M&md=n&ag=17-24&sort=prem&Submit=Submit above link will give you: male / 17-24 / car

that's the point of my website... so come on 182 owners... submit your current insurance details please. http://www.insurancequotes.ORG.uk makes it simple for us all to share our "best" quote, the one we've rung round for and decided to purchase.

Who really cares about top speed !? Unless you're on a track it means nothing. The original Lotus Elise had a top speed of 118mph.

That's not gonna tell you much, years ago I "raced" my 8v Fiat Punto 1.6 against a R5GTT and despite being three up left them for dust. If the bloke had known when to change gear etc he should've embarrassed me.

A press article like that could well be scheduled in to promote a tv programme / dvd release. He might have been in Iraq some time ago. But that said, car / location !? it's most likely to be a look-a-like.

Totally agree with this approach, you can splice into the original wires inside the footwell rather than butchering your door.

Here's a link to the manual for the Sep00 - Dec04 version. Even shows how the steering wheel control translate. http://www.service.pioneer-eur.com/peeservice/instrmanuals.nsf/0/FFC718D29E0D097CC1256FA400327ED4/$File/CA-R-PI.182.pdf

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to fit a Pioneer headunit, not sure whether that'll be any different though. Will give CAD a call once I've checked the OEM unit.

anyone fitted one of these ? - http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/index.php?cPath=47_720_731&cadid=47f9bc150f86e688288492f093b3f06f there's one for "Clio 3" that says up to 2004, and hints that it also works with the built in dash display. I'm after one for a Pioneer headunit for a 2005 Clio.

I've gone for it. I checked the small print, rang the company to double check, all seems pretty good for the money. I think there's a couple of rates so it's worth haggling with your dealer.

sorry, misread your "Mk1" line.

Adam, worth a search as I was asking the same question a short while back. Don't yet have the car so haven't attempted the install myself yet. Omex tech support are quite good, so might be worth dropping them an email too.

How well it works with their IB100 iPod interface. Reading the spec I think it's the ideal replacement for my P99R which has all the EQ, time alignment stuff, but no internal amplification.

cheers, after more info on the Pioneer DEH-P8600MP, anyone here have one ?

Anyone recommend a dedicated car hifi forum site please ?

You sure?! The spacing of the pedals looks very odd to me... There isn't an obvious hand brake either, perhaps they've gone for the "foot brake".

what's with the four pedals ? http://www.hebweb.wanadoo.co.uk/conceptclio/2417-10.jpg

I did ask this in the middle of another thread about "wiring an amp" but it'll probably get overlooked, and as I searched for a few words without sucess, by me starting a new thread it may be of use to someone else in the future.... I know it used to be important to run power direct from the...

I know it used to be important to run power direct from the battery to an amp. Is that still the case ? In my current Clio there wasn't anywhere simple to get a cable through from the engine bay to the passenger cabin. Any advice for a 182 please ?

are you speaking from experience AcID ? ;-)
