as above, grey anthracite stripes on a arctic blue 182 (cup packed) what do you think? are they going to match the blue and the wheels? (the std cup ones that is) thx!

if you put it that way it sounds good! but the fear of blowing the gearbox is still there.. I think he should take the brave pill and give the thing some stick!

he is afraid to go higher than that (torque wise), the gbox could blow up.. although there are some clios runnin higher values with the std gbox

a pic from the engine bay:

a friend of mine has a supercharged 172 ph1 still being tested and wondered if the torque you see in the graph isn't too much for just 0,3 bar he has an eaton m62, cat cams 421 and 182 manifold here's the graph:

well not quite! the UK cars have equal 21" wipers, and a different wiper mechanism , whereas the other european cars have different size wipers like you said (530/450)

I unplugged mine today with the engine running and it stopped. does this mean anything? beside this, I have a lumpy idle since I have the car, but got used to it since otherwise the car is fine. could replacing this sensor solve this idle issue?

well I've installed it all back together and first the idle went somewhere between 1200-1500 rpm quite longer than I've expected but when the car got to optimal temperature the idle went back to normal. took a drive with the car and it's ok. for now..

I removed the leads and the plugs away from the car, they looked ok. now I'll have to figure out how to check out the leads, maybe put them on another car I don't know while the plenum is unbolted I thought I giveit a good clean but how on earth is this plug coming out? (the one that enters the...

what is CTS ? I'm not familiar with some abbreviations

but what could cause the sudden loss of compression? the car was perfect until yesterday.. I really hope I can manage it by myself tomorrow though :(

yesterday I went out with the car after 4 day of resting (the car that is..) and noticed that the engine (while still cold) had the tendency to cut of fuel under acceleration, not too bad but you could feel it Then I stopped to hear it idle for a while and it was obvious I had a problem, the...

So let's start the story since last spring when I had an accident. a pretty nasty one. about 4k were spent to fix the car, the left front end was damaged (headlight, lower arm, subframe, front bumper, a small dent in the roof above the upper corner of the door, and some other smaller stuff, as...

maybe but before buying a new one make sure the motor is dead!

=))

what tyres are you on? (dimensions) 195/40 r 17 for example are smaller in diameter than 205/45 r16 so I don't see why they should rub on the arches

in my case cleaning wasn't the issue, everything was super clean out there, the trick is to slice about 0,5 mm at each end of the rubber cylinder, this way it will move side to side freely somehow.. it worked 2 times already

After having some problems with one of the two and payed around 60 quid to change it I finally sort out what was wrong with it. Basically you could hear it whine but no liquid came out.. To fix the damn thing you have to remove it and take it apart If someone experiences problems ring a bell...

was a week ago with my 182 at a renault dealer to fit my rear shocks and a 197 was there on the elevator with the front wheels removed.. I got a chance to study it's suspension, the brembo's closely and what can I say.. It definitely moved forward from the 1*2, the suspension design, the huge...

mine is the same, but for sure it came out like this from the factory, I've just installed a brand new ARB and the old one was fine in the area which could have been in contact with the manifold.

you guys are lucky, mine squeaks inside the box, the cable and everything else is lubed :(

the fork is rubbing on the release bearing, this is what I've seen when changed the clutch recently. the mechanic greased the contact area with copper based grease and guess what: problem solved and guess again: it came back 2 days later. what bothers me is how on earth a friend of mine's 172...

mine doesn't! it bites about half way down also having a problem: with the engine running and the car standing, pressing and holding down the clutch while engaging 1st gear and revin' to above 5000 the car tends to pull away slightly. after that it smells like burned clutch obviously.. I would...

went in the car and sat there for 15 minutes and couldn't see that damn thing! help!

k-tec are offering OE ones, go check it out

also having problems with the gearbox myself. 1-big crunches when changing fast at high revs from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd 2-standing still, engaging 1st gear and while holding down the clutch and revin' the engine above 5k the car pulls slightly ahead and then it smells like burned clutch...

maybe the 172 has some lower springs and the owner isn't aware of this, since he recently bought the car

mine was about 20 liters when taking the measurements, but the other guy had about 10 only

I fitted the k-tec solid ones and it definitely cured the noise, the turn in seems to be sharper, also have the impression it cured a little bit the understeer. a good upgrade and they look good

182 anthracite wheels are about 9,6-9,8 kilos, can't remember exactly but for sure they're not lighter than 9,6. the speedlines turini are about 8,8 kgs each. so if you want some significant weight reduction go for ultraleggeras (16"- 6,6 kg)
