Wait, what's that +/-1.2 mm? Is that tolerance? Because from -1.2 to +1.2 there's A LOT of difference in the handling of the car! Next time I'm going to have the front at 0 (instead of -2 mm as it is, it's just too camber sensitive on straight country roads...turn in is very good though!), rear...

I think you could go with 10mm non hubcentric at the rear, and 16 mm hubcentric at the front, that wouldn't be excessive and you'd notice the difference. I'm thinking to do the same but I'm worried about the legal problems (here in Italy you can get your car taken away for a few months for...

With 5 mm you won't even see the difference...I'd say 16-20 mm front, 10-16 rear, if you want to fill the arches with standard 172 wheels.

Usually if you set the front tyres toe out the car tends to follow every variation of the road, you can get down the power better out of the corners but it's less stable at speed too. Toe in the car is more stable at high speed. At the rear toe out means the car will oversteer and be more...

I'd say never... are you sure you didn't mean TOE IN? If I remember correctly, both front and rear tyres with oem value are / \ with the car goint "up", if you get what I'm saying.

You'll get longer gearing.

Did you refurbish both front and rear bumper? Maybe they did a poor job... What's the tyre pressure?

ahahahah! wonder what that is...well maybe better not knowing.

Just restore and prep DIY and have them sprayed by a shop, much easier and cheap. I spent 50 euros for mine (10 of sand paper, sand discs for the drill and metal filler, 40 for the spraying)

I tried to find a set a while ago for winter tyers, but I ended up with valver wheels. They definitely fit without spacers.

I went to my body shop yestarday, found two plastic caps, 16mm diameter. This morning the owner is spraying a grey car so it'll pass the caps, I'll glue them on the bumper and the problem should be solved...I think less than 10 euros. Luke yours are painted or matt black?

Has anyone found something cheaper than the crazy espensive OEM blanks (90+ £!!!) I don't have HID and broke the jet washers in the last accident. I didn't have the holes filled and painted...(big mistake) Some alternative plastic cover, I don't know...

Prepare to drool: http://www.bespokeventures.com/blog/2010/11/23/a-personal-favorite-dry-carbon-protec-wheel/ These are dry carbon covered wheels, so it's real carbon and seems to increase the rigidity of the spokes adding almost no weight. It's VERY costly, a set, if you can find one, would...

Fred do you have any advice for the front bearings too? As I already changed the driver side twice and now sometimes it makes a noise again...

I fitted a new Laguna switch (red instead of black) with the original clio button, the dealer said they cost the same but the laguna one doesn't break..12 euros if I remember correctly.

Re: Your ideal 172/182 catback exhaust: what tips, color, size etc..? Possible group To Kam Racing: I think you didn't get my email, do you have an alternative address?

I'm not sure about what they sold a few years ago, but what they sell now...well you can test them yourself. Quality issue aside, I find what they did was very untehical, they just based all of their products on our designs. Obviously they can make them cheaper as they don't have any R&D cost...

Powersprint IS NOT a sister firm. They were our distributor, then they copied our systems and now they sell cheap copies made in China. No TUV approval and I can assure you the quality is not the same.

Pro-kit springs on nonsport car lower more, in fact I have a set on my Mini Cooper R56 and it's spot on. On the 172/182 they lower the car for 20 mm in front and 15 rear and I think that's not enough, BUT they work well with the oem dampers, so it's ok. The Koni are designed to work with a -30...

Re: Your ideal 172/182 catback exhaust: what tips, color, size etc..? Possible group Kam I sent a Pm with my email address so we can talk about it. Slindborg, we already have a system for the 182 as quiet as the OEM one but with a sportier (in tone) sound. As it was TUV homologated it has the...

I hope so, thanks! On oem springs? Aren't they designed to work on lowering springs (as they are supplied alone or with koni -30mm springs)?

What kind of rolling road will be used? I plan to test mine on our MAHA very soon, before and after RS Tuner or live map (not sure yet) so if yours is a maha too we could compare the charts, you could even send me the files and put them on the same charts.

How is it on poor surfaces with this setup mishmish? I hope the Eibach aren't too stiff for daily driving. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Your ideal 172/182 catback exhaust: what tips, color, size etc..? Possible group As the rear exhaust and the silenced center section are designed to be TUV homologated, and we would use the same "boxes" there shouldn't be any problem about it being too loud, especially inside. I find most...

I'm fitting Koni and Sportline (red) Eibach in a few weeks, with camber bolts, as the car is a bit unstable at high speed and not very accurate, plus it doesn't absorb potholes and irregularities very well with the old oem dampers I got now. How do you suggest to adjust them? All soft and start...

Re: Your ideal 172/182 catback exhaust: what tips, color, size etc..? Possible group No one?

My guess is 163 bhp the 1st time, 165 the 2nd, maybe 170 remapped.

If you could have an high quality stainless steel catback exhaust, with the possibility to choose between diameter, exit design (recessed, under the bumper, dual 182-style, round, oval, what diameter) and colour of the finish (chromed normal, black, antracite etc... or no chrome slice cut or...

I solved the most annoying ones on mine, but I drive it along country roads with poor tarmac everyday, so it's an endless war. I just turn up the music...the exhaust helps too! The climate sensor it's buzzing again sometimes from cold, I changed it when I bought the car 3 years ago. Door panels...
