Just to add to this the standard 182 seats with airbags are circa 32kg, the recaros are more around the 25kg mark, a good fibre-glass bucket weighs in at under 10kg so moving from standard to buckets you can shed upwards of 45kg.

along comes a good example. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5636515#post5636515 If a private individual mapped your car for the cost of a .cal license or even to make some quick cash on top what could you do if this happened - sweet FA.

Yup, not denying its a user friendly system - however search "RStuner problem" or such like on here, you'll be suprised how many of these "muppets" there are. But at the end of the day you pays your monies, you makes you choice.:)

All bang for buck arguments aside this above is a risky angle too take and too give as advice. At the end of the day you are allowing someone to carry out work on your car without any sort of guarantee or protection for the service carried out if they are non traders/part of an above board...

looks lovely chap :)

Positive only on the inside wheel though surely? Not a bad thing if that's true, however assume that the OEM top mounts are designed with the Renault OEM geometry: the cup pack springs being the extreme of this setup - once coiled and lowered 40+mm surely this would impair that original...

The standard seats weight in around 30kg each. A good set of fibreglass one piece buckets can weigh as little as 9kg each with subframes - mine do! That's a 40kg aprox saving!!

Yeah yeah, I've heard it all before pro.

They were mine once upon a time ;) More info here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=393082 & here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=393078 :) Mine now ;)

check for mayo under the oil filler cap!

Apparently I own JMS Tuning! Although I do the pretty bits/boring bits/designing bits - James my colleague does the dirty work :o

I had exactly the same thing with my 182. The history book stated it had had the 5 yr/ 72k service: belts etc and was even stamped up for it. Although the invoice declared that there were not any belts done. Owner swore blind that they had been done, so I phoned the dealer who confirmed he opted...

Always thought you were a "go-over-show" type Ollie, this disappoints me ;)

amazing, I will do something like this in the next 2 years!

similar design, but I wouldn't put money on the gaitor base shape being the same!

In a 182 or the twingo? IIRC the 182 has a plastic collar inside the leather that clips to the cabin center console - they often snap :rolleyes:

interior on the Twingo RS is scary as fook. Seats are possibly made from Granite they are so large! But something tells me your not after the seats ;) Gear stick surround looks to be a different shape?

Going to watch this with much interest chap see where you take the PH1 :)

My dad's proud to have a sponge for the wheels & a sponge for the body work, but like you Clare he still uses washing up liquid :rolleyes:

No chance of that being anything to do with Renault, but however that is a lovely set of sketches/renderings; nice find!

interesting, but I'm sure somethings not right there. I would have thought the m3 would make a mess of the Clio Throttle bodies or not.

Tried to stick with 200's in my coiled 182 @ brands hatch. Very very dialed cars handling wise, exceptional for out of the box it seems & a real step up from the 197s that were out. Had the choice between driving a 200 or the R26R so I can't really give you a drivers comparison I'm afraid ;)

moving on up are we Fletch? I see you sniffing around the 200's

Might have been a little too subtle?

its going to be a steep curve though by the looks of it :dead:

road camber most likely, or a bit of tramline torq steer init:rasp: I just can't get over your username fella lol!

wrong tree ;) The carbon canister is on the other side of the engine in front of the wheel / behind the fog light. (incidentally it makes a ticking noise - buts it comes from the drivers side front wheel arch intermittently.) You may have had the acoustic valve removed though? Its a hard...

You don't adjust the steering wheel - the adjustment at the wheels can lead the steering wheel to be out of position when driving, they clamp the steering wheel and then adjust the wheels to suit.

get the tracking done again free - should include steering wheel alignment in the service so they may have not done it properly.
