got a few questions after buying a 182 manifold :) 1. I will be either coating or heat wrapping the manifold before fitting, obviously this will lower the engine temp. slightly. Im woundering if this will have any effect on the engine as are they programmed to work best at a required temp. or...

hmm i dont drink or smoke and cars/mechanics is my hobby so it doesnt really bother me the cost of insurance and car stuff. /carl

try Bell insurance, get fully comp with high excess. Thats what i will be doing and im getting quotes of around 2.2k-2.5k which i dont believe is too bad. /carl

Welcome you should see my replica around QE area, its blue ;) /carl

the replica exhausts look s**t, there isnt enough room behind the spare wheel well for it really so normally bangs off the well and generally is a s**t fit. just get a recessed exhaust into the bumper like mine: /carl

check the rear suspension as ive heard they leak quite often and can result in loss of traction on the rear. /carl

would be ok up to about 80-90 then he would pull away.

have to agree here, if you are doing lots of motorway driving get a DCi 80 as it will be cheaper to run and will pull better through the gears on a motorway. /carl

this thread has lasted quite long without being deleted, ill give it another 10 mins...

look at the back wheel :S the wheelbase on a standard clio is way shorter than a V6, if you saw that car from side on it would look very odd.

:lolup::lolup::lolup: you will lose power with the K&N so i can see you know your stuff mate!

and you can lengthen the wheelbase aswell?

pm'd :) /carl
