    Silver 182 Machine polished

    some caliper paint and you'll get an A+ :D maybe black, or some decent color good job anyway ;)

    POLY BUSHES

    not sure if this will sort anything but if I'll have the chance I'll give it a go. The idle is lumpier than what i've seen on other 1*2's. also the engine sits now rock-solid with all the mounts fitted (can't move it 1 mm with my hands)

    POLY BUSHES

    not sure what "Uprated Inline Type Lower Engine Mount Bushes" is but the three others left you can find on k-tec's website and as far as I know they're all what you need to change. there's another engine mount between the subframe and the gearbox but that one can remain stock as it doesn't...

    Want to get some 195 40 tyres?

    why not go with the factory setup? I think when renault threw 205's in they knew what they're doin'

    POLY BUSHES

    to be honest my car vibrates A LOT but that's due to the already lumpy idle that I had/have. I've fitted the two k-tec engine mounts along with the dogbone poly one and I'm sure they are fitted correctly. So my advice: before fitting make sure your idle is as smooth as possible or else.. :free...

    Weitec or FK coilovers

    ^ I think not :( but why the hell are there so few 60 mm bolt coilovers? ok I know it's a rarer size but still..

    172 PH1 Hubs

    ^^ exactly

    Ball joints

    Yes the bolt spacing I know it's 4 mm extra on the cupped 182's but I've read something around here regarding the ball joints and couldn't remember exactly what

    172 PH1 Hubs

    as I'm aware the 172 range has the same hubs (bolt hole spacing is definitely the same at least)

    Ball joints

    offtopic: are the cup pack 182 ball joints different from the 172 ones? larger bolt holes if I can recall?

    Tracking and Balancing

    maybe the braking force is applied uneven between the front wheels? (faulty brakes ?)

    Ride height help!

    arrgh you're on coillies.. :( what initially made me take these measures was a friends 172 which sat clearly lower (on front especially) and he's on stock suspension as well. then I've seen a couple of pics of other 182's and they all seemed lower in the front. maybe I'm getting paranoid but...

    Ride height help!

    the rear I know that.. but was surprised to see the front sits higher than other 182's (at least visually) that's why I asked for help

    anyone? :(

    Ride height help!

    measured today the front ride height (from ground to top of the wheel arch) and it was 63 cm. it looked like the gap between the wheel and the arch was quite large so I took the measure. Can a fellow 182 ff/cup owner take a measure and light me up? car is on stock suspension(only k-tec solid...

    Rear suspension damper on clio 182

    yes it's a common thing for them to go soon. mine lasted 45k and were also leaking badly. but as said above easy to fit

    Ride height of 172 cup

    my 182 ff sits higher at the front (about 1-2 cm) than a friend's 172. Also higher than a RB 182 ff I've checked recently.. Don't have a clue why because all three cars are stock (mine has new dampers all round)

    camber values

    they have been ordered at the dealer and the car fixed at the same location. could the lower arms be the ones of a non cup 182 maybe? would they fit? I know the ball joint has different holes and maybe different size? edit: the hubs remained intact after the crash so they are the cup ones with...

    camber values

    no the friends have stock cars(without the camber bolts, i've checked ;) ). viewed directly from behind you can see how the front camber is different in my car

    camber values

    Had an accident last may, the front left corner was damaged, was pretty expensive to fix but done it eventually.. changed the front shocks, both lower arms (bushes and ball joints included of course), new anti roll bar with poly bushes (all 4), new subframe, k-tec solid top mounts etc...

    Is the anyone running group n engine mounts???

    I have the k-tec mounts (dogbone poly bushes also) and if I can live with them then anyone can :D That's because my idle is all over the place. Fortunately I'm not doing too much urban mileage so the vibrating steering wheel and the free back massage are acceptable ;) bottom end: the car feels...

    Engine cuts down at idle speeds

    A friend of mine has an 182 FF, 45 k on the clock and for some 6k miles the engine cuts down at idle speed. He changed the injectors, throttle body, lambda sensor, but the renault garage did not managed to fix this issue. the car is driving normally but the idle is unstable and occasionally cuts...

    xenon beam dropped

    today started the car and the left xenon was pointing at around 5-7 meters in front of the car.. the left headlight is new btw and can't figure how come yesterday the beam was ok and now it's not. and I'm still not sure how the height adjustment works in a mk2 clio, because in a meggy 225 you...

    Knocking when wheel spinning

    check the driveshafts. if they're ok then probably the mounts or one of them is gone. I have the k-tec solid ones plus powerflex dog bone bushes and there is absolutely no knocking (before that I had massive knocking under acceleration in 1st gear).you'll just have to put up with the extra...
