    New Spax RSX + RB = Wash & Pics

    Cheers, im using OE Renault top mounts. I didn't fancy drilling holes into the turret to fit solid mounts this time round ( had K Tec solid mounts on another Clio) it's an everyday car with the odd trackday thrown in :)

    New Spax RSX + RB = Wash & Pics

    Cheers, I'm gonna leave the ride height for this week then decide what to do as changing the front will incur slight changes to the geometry. The 16" Turinis will go back on the end of this week too as the OZs were bought for track wheels (but like them on the car too much to take them off!)...

    All Spax RSX owners

    I've posted a thread in Clio Media, i tried out the speed bumps this morning and it doesn't feel too bad, not as harsh as the GAZ setup but I couldn't adjust those. Only fitted the kit a couple of days ago and not been out in it to see what they're really like. I'm going to Blyton Park in 2...

    New Spax RSX + RB = Wash & Pics

    The front wheel does look like it has more arch gap but i think its like that as the front wheel dips on the black drain cover. I bought them from FST Automotive in Sc**thorpe for £560 when they had a discount offer running a month ago. The wheels are Primer Grey then lacquered, i still have...

    New Spax RSX + RB = Wash & Pics

    Had the Spax RSX coilover kit fitted yesterday so i thought i'd treat it to a wash and take a couple of pics. Really just to show people who were toying with buying the kit how they look. Rear adjusters set to their lowest position, front adjusters set about half an inch from the bottom thread...

    RB now on Spax coilovers, thanks to Matt Codered

    Had the RB booked in with Matt today to have the new Spax coilover kit fitted as well as a Whiteline RARB along with a geometry setup. Initial feedback on the drive home is positive, with the damping set half way the ride feels good and not too harsh. Found a few country roads earlier and have...

    White 172.

    Does look good, IMO the wheels need spacing out, brilliant colour on a mk2

    182 steering wheel button question

    The R-O button on my steering wheel works when you press up on the R but doesn't 'tilt' down on the O. Could it be like a rocker mechanism broken, can these switches be repaired or should I just source a 2nd hand known working switch? It seems like the button is dropped down in the O position...

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Just bought a Whiteline RARB in almost new condition from a chap about 2 miles away from me, no waiting, no courier BS having to go to Chelmsford after failed delivery attempts! Cant wait to get it on along with the new Spax RSX coilovers :)

    Dashboard Light Problem - Advice Please?

    I have the same issue, could be an ABS sensor or the wires to it. I'm hooking mine up to CLIP to measure the readings on all 4 sensors.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    1 of the metal brackets on the back box that goes into the exhaust hanger snapped off. I made a phone call to Hayward and Scott custom exhaust company in Basildon and they welded it back on. The left tailpipe (182) was sagging and thought it was the rubber in the exhaust mount bracket... Until I...

    My old rear discs didn't have any spacers fitted :eek: £7 each from Renault, make sure they're fitted tapered/countersink side to the stub axle, flat side outwards

    RB rolling on primer OZs

    Set at the ride height Christopher mentioned but will raise the rear 20mm on the new setup. Christopher: Will have the sensors checked the same time the coilovers are fitted.

    Yeah both the lights come on intermittent, ABS sensors? I'll get it on CLIP again

    RB rolling on primer OZs

    I like the Turinis too, just fancied a change for a while and didn't want to run the 16s on track with tyres costing over £100 each. These are ideal as a 2nd. It has an ESP issue but doesn't detract from how brilliant it performs. I've ordered a set of Spax coilovers which should be with me...

    RB rolling on primer OZs

    Youre right, I couldn't! I had no choice but to buy a can of primer as I ran out but didn't want to spend more money on tins of colour spray.IMO at least the lacquer makes them look more like a grey.

    RB rolling on primer OZs

    I guess there will be people out there that will always call it Christophers RB, fair play he did own it for 5 years. I'm lucky to inherit or buy such a good car, but behind the scenes over the last 3-4 months i have put a lot of time and money making it tip top. I havent done a project thread...

    RB rolling on primer OZs

    I can't take the stickers off, the wings were lacquered with them still on when the previous owner owned the car :D I don't mind them actually. It could be worse, they could be Monster logo decals! i nearly submitted a for sale ad this afternoon for the Turinis but bottled at the last minute...
