I have just ordered a set from Europerformance for £738 delivered, they reckon they should be with me in 5-7 days. I'll keep you posted if they actually turn up!!

Yer, we have 54mm bolt spacing and the cup/cup-packed 182s have 60mm iirc Just enlist the help of some large friends/bags of concrete to create that 'slammed to the floor' look while you wait for H&R to get their ass in gear.

Think i'm gonna be in the same boat - I want to order some H&Rs this week.... I'll let you know if I find stock anywhere! My two cents: Hang fire for another week or so, no point comprimising the quality of the coilovers just to regret it after.

Cheers Laingo - that makes sense. Been ringing around some of the Reanult dealers in Cardiff - what a bunch of buffoons! Had to argue with every single one that the Aux belt needed doing, one even asked my reg plate, put it into their system then wanted to know if it was petrol or diesel!!!!

As far as i'm concerned, Light = bad! I wouldn't aim to wait to change gear until it lights up.

Thanks Fred, i'm thinking its a complete waste of ££ to do Aux this yr then Cambelt next year. In fact i need to check my service book. I think my car has missed a service: Its a 54 reg, but didnt have its first service until June 06 @ 12k then i serviced it June 07 at 24K So if I do my...

Car is due its 3yr/36k service soon, rung Rentech who advised £375 max for the Aux belt kit and service - maybe as low as £275 depending on whether he uses all the pulleys etc. I then asked about Cambelt change + service which is £660, which although not due till next year, would involve...

They dont do them in Halfords round here, I've ordered one from Renault £7.36 inc VAT Paint code J45 Part number 7711422232

Doh, that sucks mate! Wonder if europerformance have any in stock.. think i'll be giving them a ring when they open today.

They will fit mate, and i will do if i get myself some coilys!

Think i'm going to take the plunge and invest in some H&R's for the 182. Currently got sportlines on it, but want it to sit a little lower.;) I have searched through, but still have a few unanswered questions: 1. If i get them set up to factory spec, will i need the camber adjusting bolts...

Er, blatent thread hijack: Best price on H&R's and KW's? Anyone know of anywhere with any deals on or just try usual YS/K-tec etc Oh and Ali - which KW's are you advocating for the 182?

As Julzh said, having seen a few RR printouts posted up on here and the experiences of a few tuners, it seems dubious as to whether the RS had 182PS/170 whatever BHP when it left the factory. So, chasing 200BHP headline figure is going to be costly. Personally I would upgrade the brakes...

Nice, crack on with the other 3 now!

Any update from the garage Toon?

I need to re-look at the way i have fitted mine. I have shortened my samco bend, then the CAF bends around from the front of the BMC and i've routed it back down behind the n/s headlight and down into the wheel well. At higher revs, breathing seems much improved - however at low revs, say...

Guppy - I think CS is the wrong place to get an unbiased answer! lol

Glad to hear it - always preferred salt and vinegar myself :)

Jon, unless chris pissed on your chips at FCS, your comments seem very harsh. From an entirely unbiased perspective, I dont think his questions warranted such aggresive responses.

Nice one for the link guppy, was clio_il trying to say that the k-tec ones will be making less power than the gdi (which given they were cheaper, i would expect anyway!)

So is it actually available to buy now? Or still under development at the mo?

Hmm, do i really need 2 kidneys I wonder....

Looks good! Be interesting to see how it works out cost wise with the GDI ITBs (assuming you spec the wilder cams etc). Something I would love to do with mine, but the sensible side of me is telling me to save for something faster out the box.

Well I love mine Ant, as you say its not a metallic colour, but thats what attracted me to mine in the first place. Certainly dont see many of them around here. When you go see it you might find that it looks completely different to the pictures - the smallest change in light seems to make the...

That looks really good, and price wise I don't think its expensive considering the quality finish. Its all well having a cheaper retrim to save money, but when the glue starts peeling and the seats go really baggy you'll prob regret not spending a little extra.

Firstly, well done Chris - looks like an awesome meet. Absolutely gutted I didnt come - spent 4 hours cleaning the car on Sat along with my mate, but we ended up getting so pissed up Sat eve that I didnt feel safe to drive on Sun. Have to remember to stay away from the beer before the next run!

£680 with Greenlight. 24 years old, 2yrs NCB. Mods declared&covered: Eibach Sportlines and BMC CDA Postcode rating F as per earlier list.

Those wheels look s**t hot! Don't think the 152s look too small at all, what size tryes are on there mate? They look slightly lower profile than what most people run (which makes them look better on yours imo)

I have cut a good 4 inches off my samco induction elbow, pulled all the standard CAF / acoustic valve stuff out and run some 80mm CAF from down by the horns in the front wheel arch. Noticeable gain from when i ran the BMC with no CAF, and personally i found it to loud without CAF. I have...

I usually get mr diesel rep in a mondeo/vectra/passat etc trying their luck with me
