It’s got be a bit more scientific than guessing surely. When my other track 182 went to Rob Boston Racing for Geo setup, he advised on getting the rear beam shimmed. Conversation went like this. “Go on pure motorsport, buy 3 of these, 3 of those. Come back and I’ll try this.”. “Then go and do...

I was going to say Oil Pressure switch. Happened to my old 182.

I also have shims, but I can't recall the exact setup - though -1.22 and -1.24 degrees sound familiar. It's not drastically different from your setup, so perhaps they were adjusted to correct it. I'll check with my friend Dave, who set it up at Croft, to see if he remembers the details. You...

They were off my track car, so the previous owner must have switched them over at some point. Far too good for a circuit car. I’ve never touched the interior other than switch the belts, so I’m working my way through that. Your car is just incredible Nick. I hate seeing pictures of it 😂

Does anybody know if the original calipers/carriers were coated in yellow passivate? Or just a standard zinc coating?

In between working, trackdays and everything else, I’ve been buying the odd used parts here and there. I quite enjoy restoring things and spotted these caliper carrier brackets for sale from @STRBramley back in March. They suffered the usual brake dust, rust and oily deposits but overall...

Part number is 7701476557 for a genuine clutch kit on a 182. https://frogjammotorsport.co.uk/products/genuine-renault-clutch-kit-renault-clio-172-182-mk2-rs-7701476557 Go genuine.

Cadwell is ace for Clios. I'd be up for going back again.

The correct part number for your 182 is 8200186294, but the information on Autodoc seems incorrect. Here are the relevant part numbers: Renault: 8200186294 (Stark: SKWSS-0350067) Renault: 7700411747 (Stark: SKWSS-0350095) According to Renault, both part numbers are for cars with ESP, but only...

You can’t beat a bit of advice from the older generation, or boomers as you like to call them 😂 Car looks mean. I’m going back to headlight blanks as well.

Bolts for what? Just drop me a DM with what you need and i'll fire over part numbers, and alternatives.

Just take your time fella. I've acquired a ton of parts to fit mine lol Just need to find the time to fit them all and update the thread. Amazing little cars.

When I was looking into Stark a while back, before I bought the rear sensors, I noticed the STARK CEO had a ridex.com email address. Probably just a cheaper alternative like Motrio or Value Parts as they're now known.

I used to pay the K Tec Tax but discovered those were Bosch equivalents so got them from DMFX in Darlington. Bosch seems to be out of stock and I couldn't find them in their catalogue, but Stark does them. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/stark/7856865 The part number is 8200186294 for reference...

I'm at Croft next Monday. BTCC was there at the weekend. Yikes!

This seems to be the trend with older cars, unfortunately. A combination of demand, opportunity, and interest means these parts will be manufactured by a variety of companies. I think TRISCAN are a Danish company with a German manufacturing base. Better than being made in China though lol

My two rear sensors are made by Stark. Relatively new to the market but high-quality parts made in Germany.

The synchronised looks at 40 seconds in 😂 👏

Have you thoroughly cleaned the throttle body, including inside around the butterfly valve? Carbon deposits or mechanical wear can cause erratic signals and limp mode. If you have access to a decent diagnostic reader that can display live data or a multimeter, you can check the voltage output...
