I had PSS10s on my Mini GP and they’re a decent damper to be honest.
Not used AST on a Clio but used them on an Impreza and to be honest I was never that blown away by them. I think they’re much of a muchness to be honestly.
Best sensible priced dampers I’ve ever used are KW Clubsports. The...
Chase handling and control in the car.
That will inspire confidence at the limit and that will make it faster than any charger could do.
Id spend the money for a charger on as much tuition and seat time as possible. :)
Ive been there with big power and its a lot more expensive yet no more...
This looks so much cooler because its so far from home.
Seeing a V6 here in the UK is kinda "meh".
Seeing one all that way over the pond is mega. Love it :)
Personally I felt the car drove better on the OEM Cup springs, but obviously looks prettier on the Sportlines.
Still drives good, but for me the OEM setup is pretty much spot in for road use.
Here’s my 182 on Cup dampers as Sportline springs.
Putting it in the exhaust housing like that would not only be a pain in the arse, it will disrupt the pulse waves into the turbine by quite a bit.
If you don’t want to add a hole to the collector, and both the collector and turbine housing are V band. Why not add a small extension with a V band...

Identical quality to OEM but about 2” longer than OEM, so I cut mine down to exactly match the OEM seal.
One of the Cayman R boys put Pro 5000 all round on his Cayman R, they look immense. Didn't get much change from £10k for the lot.
Ive still got the genuine WRC SACHS from the impreza at home, i should flog those and get some Nitrons for mine. I probably would if it didn't drive so well on...
Cheers Rob,
You say that but still loads of little jobs i want to do. I've still not had time to fit all the new dampers, arms and bushes i purchased a while back.
I've found a gearbox oil leak from the NS CV boot where we think its not been seated correctly. This is a little annoying as ive...
Sounds good, although I think I’ve already found one from a lad in Southport.
I found a leak on my box on the NS CV and that’s whats prompted the want for a box and diff. I could just reseat the CV clamping plate. ?
That’s a shame dude and I can only speak as I find, as can you. You deffo should have told them about it, as nobody can do anything if you don’t make them aware.
Sorry to hear of your experience.
Another little job,
Noticed the exhaust clamp behind the cat was on borrowed time the other day and decided to order a new heavy duty stainless one.
Small job, I’ll never see it, but never the less satisfying.
I'll just leave this here for you to have a look at mate.
Call and speak to Andy, tell him Frayz sent you.
They just cleaned up yet again at the Spa VW festival "Lebugshow" (biggest VW festival in Europe) winning best of show!

The 200 isn’t as potent on features nor does it have a CD player. However if that’s doesnt matter then get involved. It will still be a slick as every other Alpine unit. :)
Alpine CDE-178BT.
Never bother with anything other than Alpine as their quality has always been head and shoulders above the rest of the main stream stuff.
Dusted under the rear wing with some Bilt Hamber Dynax UB before refitting it.
Added a new foam weather seal and also resealed the boot trim to cut down on some NVH.
Also did the same when I took the front bumper off to fit the Cup washer blanks, quick clean and dusting of Dynax UB.
Im also...
So some kind soul saw it upon themselves to key the rear wing during the cars previous ownership.
So I dropped it off last week to a mate of mine Andy @ Spikes Vintage Restoration. Quite frankly, Andy is the best painter I’ve ever seen in my life, and the quality of his work is off the scale...
