yes you can get them, min you can get pcd adaptors in is 15mm so that would leave the wheels et20 which would need some streched tyres and possibly a touch of negative camber to get under the arches......
ch wheels would look sex with a small drop....
very nice car mate, been looking into getting a 140 vag in the past, but can only really afford one with the same amont of mileage as yours, had any probs or know of any to look out for??
cheap ok coilovers or brilliant spring/shock combo...........
personally i would go for the konis/eibach springs then save up for an arb and get a group buy going on them!!
buy a mk2 ph2 dci 65 for her....
f**k selling your 182 and sharing a car if its her first, garentee it will be bumped/scraped in the first few months which would piss me right off...
standard renault ones with the bearings in already for the rear, brembo hc fronts then run either an upraded/oe ferodo pad all round........
will be fine for fast foad use!!
also make sure the sliders in the calipers are free/well greased or they may bind on a little (especially the rear)...
while youve got the engine in bits you may aswell go all out and fit cams/pullys and solid lifters ect.
obviously you want a new cambelt and performance head gasket/new bolts too, map it and ejoy the power.
might be worth looking at barrons project and asking him a few questions, hes running...
if you want to be replacing it again in the next 12-18 months i wouldnt bother with mild steel.
think i would wait until payday and get a stainless stealth......
i can report it worked well, i did a 3:1 mix.
the wheels where sealed with the ag sealer spray last time i washed it (3 weeks ago) which helped i think, so sealed them again........
i will no longer be buying wheel cleaner when daisy is £1 for 1 litre lol :-)
cheers guys....
it is a known fact the the exhaust hangers are made of french cheese....
i got powerflow to make me a couple of custom fixed rubber mounts on my old ph2 only cost £25 :-)
i try to enforse a no eating/drinking of coke/juice that will stain rule in the car but when the mrs uses it she covers it in crumbs and fag ash anyway so given up now lol
mine seems to run better from cold with high octaine but imo no difference after that, so i now save my money and put up witha jerky first 5 mins with 95ron....
it will take a few weeks to settle fully if they were brand new.
should you want to make it handle even better/corner faster in the future keep an eye out for some koni dampers ;-)
free tomorrow but not this weekend, working nights in tewksbury until next sat :-(
give me a shout when your going to btm and ill sneek off and pop up for a brew and banter lol
a nice 330mm wheel will work well naith, i wouldnt bother with flat bottom as when you fit buckets you will be sat lower anyway!!
unless you want the cruise control, dont bother with buttons but they are easy enough to add if you feel you cant live without it....
omp targa is what i used to...
might be worth hpi checking it himself, never know may have been logged twice (admin error)
cat d wouldnt bother me if it came with a report to say its all fine and i could get it checked myself....
awesome to make into a track car either way :-)
chances are you will have to take the bumper off and find a part number on it and ask renault for a quote for a new one......
prepare to get you pants pulled down though, which is why i said it maybe better to get a dynamique one or get it repaired....
the van is basically a 3 door mk2 ph2 clio so you shouls be able to get a dynamique bumper and get it colour coded.
if its only cracked a decent body shop should be a ble to repair it......
small localised scraches can be got rid of with an abrasive polish like scrach x then use somthing like ag srp/megs paint cleaner to help with hiding swirls.
it might be better to pay a detailer for a full correction then maintain it from there......
pm jd for a price, hes pretty handy with...
