Re: Taster picture :) Haha, nice one. Tried fitting the eibachs and couldnt get thr frigging top mounts undone, so gonna have to wait, gutted!

Re: Taster picture :) Looking sweet mate They all seem ok now, no more catching?

Indeed! Definately something I need to invest in when I have some spare cash! PM coming your way.

Yeah tried everything mate. If you look at my other thread about the spring not being seated properly, thats the effect of my trying earlier today! Just need the garage to crack both the top mounts off, then tighten then enough for me to drive 200 yards home, so I can take it all to bits!

You mean try and crack off the top mount without using an allen key to begin with? This doesnt work, the shock spins as soon as the nut it moved.

^ lost me mate?

Not bad at all! I need an impact driver to get it cracked off, not budging by hand on this one!

^ lol! I snapped 1 allen key, twisted another so I was all out! Just had a breakdown guy out, he snapped a snap-on allen key socket bit!!

I know what I'm doing regards the suspension, lowered 9 clios in my time. Couldn't undo the top mount though as it was too tight. Turns put whilst trying top undo it I had spun the tophat ontop of the shock assembly. This had unseated the spring. Breakdown guy couldnt get the topmount loose...

Just went to drive the car, the spring has somehow twisted round in the shock and is not sitting out of place. Makes a horrible nosie when turning and is obviosuly wrong. Possibly done by me trying to get the shock out earlier, but not sure how. Got breakdown assistance coming out now, but not...

You should probably get out a lot more. 182 is nice though.

Yeh gonna do that. Never had any problems before and I've lowered about 9 clio's now!

Didn't work. I'll just go to my local garage tomorrow, well pissed off! Bent 1 allen key, and snapped another too!

Hmm, I'll drop it down again then and see if that works. If not then I'll get a garage to crack it off tomorrow hopefully.

Can't get thr front top mounts undone on my car at all, help! I'm doing it properly, done them many times before. Used loads of penetrant fluid, heated it up etc, it won't budge. Will it make a difference to trying to crack them off when the car is in the air, normally do this when the car...

Nice car, is this the one with Factory sat nav? My 1.2 reg was FN04 SXF, pretty close!

I love it! There was a few lads who I went to school with used to laugh at me when I was 18 and still had my 1.2 Clio when they had 1.6 astras and focus's. Yesterday I called at my local cash machine and saw them, their jaws hit the floor when they saw me get into the 182!! I love rubbing it...

^ I did, but the sale fell through as Chris couldnt find a car and couldnt let his go to me. This came up for sale and it is awesome!

Never spotted it on ebay! But no, was from mansfield in nottingham. Thanks for the comments, I love it so much! Need to limit my driving though because one of the front tyres is borderline illegal and can't get them changed until Tues afternoon, gutted!

5k kick is insane in first and second! Really noticeable! Even managed to persuade one mate who is well into his cars that it had a turbo on it!!

Ah right I see. Thanks for the help. I was 99% sure they would be exactly the same but the bloke will br travelling a bit of distance so thought it would be best to double check.

I know what you mean about the rear set-up. Was just confused as to why it would be a b*****d, should just slot stright in shouldn't it?

It's one of those jobs that you struggle with the first ime, then after that you can do it with your eyes closed!

It's done a little over 35k miles. FRSH including the 36k & aux belt at Renault last week. Yeah, put one of these on my mates 172 as well, looks nice and subtle and almost original except for the split line in the centre. Bit of a ballache to fit, and it doesn't look 100% in person, more like...

^ Thanks lads. Can't stop smiling!

Yeah they are all flies on the front! Just waiting for the sun to drop a bit and I'll get the fly remover on it before they bake on too much! Few stone chips, a small scuff on the side trim and a dent in the roof, but paid a very good price so not fussed at all :D

Thanks mate. How do you mean fitting the lower half through the hole? Lost me a bit there :S Paul, no worries, it's easy as pie!
