This is correct, however the 'Cup' badges on the 182 used the same-ish font as the Clio badge itself. The 'Cup 172' badges used a more squared off font. Removing the '172' portion would fill the gap, although it's not technically the same as original

Hi All, As per title really, been looking at some of the eBay offerings and varying from around £80-£150 what's the safest bet these days? Found guidance on some old posts (circa 2012) that have worries with clip and 64bit operating systems, is this still a worry? I'm running Windows 10...

All fingers crossed here too!

I seem to be the one to make firsts... Just all the negative ones ?

Well that would certainly be great news for my otherwise hurting wallet this time of year ? if you don't mind I'll pick this up with you in PM's shortly, it's cuppa time first!

So, drivers side shaft splines were fine, think I've found the source of the bad noises... In all gears, forward or reverse, spin the disc and this disgusting noise!! Video attached;

Hadn't thought of that.. just tried it.. no movement from the other side when spinning either side in front of me, drivers shaft off it is

Drained the box oil and strained it through a cloth... No large chunks of gear teeth or anything in the oil, however there is very very fine (we're talking like sugar granule size) specs in the cloth, and the oil definitely has this like metallic looking swirl to it? @NorthloopCup is this good...

Right, late start working on this but it's up on stands with the wheels off. Spinning the drivers side disc forwards and backwards is matched up by the passenger side moving forwards and backwards (LSD) at the same time so I suspect the shafts and diff are okay? Now on to dropping the subframe...

It's back on the driveway now after being recovered from my mates house. I guess tomorrow will tell if there's anything obvious and I manage to get it out

Would this make quite a lot of racket when under tow? As the engine was idling fine for steering and brakes, with no sound of grinding or anything under tow?

Haha I always told you with my luck it would end up breaking! Just a shame it was so soon!

What about a meg225 for fun factor? I have to admit the whole Subaru thing would be childhood nostalgia of watching Rallies and playing the games and having the likes of Burns and McRae engraving the infectious boxer rumble in my mind as a bit of a goal to own. Even if in UK2000 turbo or import...

Literally the most frustrating thing I've ever done on the car!! So much trial and error, even how I had it getting into reverse required a bit more force than I'd of liked but couldn't get all the forward gears in any other position. I'd happily undertake another gearbox change on stands in my...

I'd be stupid to write off the clutch at this point on the list of suspicions so I appreciate the guesswork! I could indeed, second felt a bit odd but I think it was still selecting? Fitted a PMS Shifter setup at the same time as box/turbo so not 100% on how things are supposed to feel yet

This is probably the solution and I think I'm slowly coming to terms with that. It's a shame because these are cracking little motors I've always fancied a classic Impreza turbo (UK2000 perhaps?) Although I feel that would be a worse can of worms to open hearing all the stories of bottom end woes!

Didn't seem to make any noises out of the ordinary. Brand new Engine Dynamics 5 Puck clutch kit was also fitted when the rebuilt box went back in

@R3k1355 Attached Pictures of KTEC box damage, and the shopping list it took to fix!

Sorry mate should have explained that one better, absolutely flawless operation one minute, as I came off a roundabout and changed into third as soon as I lifted the clutch there was a dull sort of 'thud' and now it grinds in all gears. At least all the forward ones haven't tried reverse...

Well it does grind in all gears, very reminiscent of when I had a Golf MK4 as these often used to pop the circlip in the outer join. Strangely though as me and a mate went to push it, if I had it in first gear with the clutch pedal down it groaned like mad, as soon as it was out of gear and the...

I had thought that, made a post before and it all got put down to driver error? I need to have a look at what's failed first, should be getting it recovered back to mine today and I've got a day off tomorrow to look. Just FYI also I'm in no way slating anyone's work on any of the boxes, just...

Urm the first was the factory one, that was surcharge swapped for a KTEC Rebuilt one. And when the KTEC one died I bought a second hand box for £50 and had that rebuilt by a local firm in Kings Lynn. And when that one died it got sent up to NorthLoopCup for a full rebuild with the quaife LSD...

So guys a little history on my car. I've owned the ph2 coming up 3 years, racking up about 60,000 miles during this time. It's an absolutely cracking car to drive and I've got to say I'm absolutely addicted and attached to the car. That being said, it's a cracking car to drive when it drives...

Purchased! Cheers all

Split headlight, replace, reseal type of deal?

Hi All, I suspect the adjusters are broken on my headlights. Changed the HID Bulbs at the weekend and the housing that holds the bulbs is loose and wobbly. Seem to remember this being down to the plasticy ball joints breaking? So I was wondering what my best path is from here on. I can think of...

Definitely happening payday, this was just a stop gap that got me curious

That's what i had thought, i've got the coolant temp logged also, and it shows a different value. It might have some sort of relationship between the two programmed in?

Hi All, Recently completed turbo converting my 172 and as such need to get some gauges on the go, i took a punt on an Autool X60 (Chinesium grade gauge thing that uses OBD) to see what it would read as I've used the torque apps on VAG 1.8t's before which display a fair amount of data. The gauge...

It seems honda owned the word 'Clio' in Japan in the auto industry, from wikipedia below;
