Great looking car this and bloody quick too :evil:

Got my bushes from LarkSpeed although I think KamRacing are cheaper now once the 5% CS discount has been applied. A few people have complained about the DS2500 being crap on track, over heating and fading. Still to get mine to fade although I've not been on track and I try and use the box to...

You'd only need to replace the rubber bushes as the twisted metal part seems pretty solid. I've got the powerflex bushes in mine but I replaced the whole thing because I got a cheap one of here. Also it makes life easier if I ever put it back to standard. If you're in manc anytime you can try...

Possibly the dogbone mount? (Lower engine mount) Just thinking with the symptoms you're describing it might be the culprit.

The pic of your airbox, where that hole is, there should be a Cold Air Feed. Would explain why you've got more of an induction roar.

Was a racing blue 182 with the two white stripes running over the car. Spotted you on Guisness road going the opposite way to me, I did notice you put your hand up in acknowledgement but I was in a world of my own and reacted abit late to it, hence the flash of the hazards lol.

LOL! That's the way to do it :cool: I just use an old 10L bucket to catch it in.

There's a guide on how to remove it in the guide section mate ;) Pretty easy to remove and it gets easier the more times you take it off, just got to be careful when undoing and tightening the bolts holding it down, doesn't take much to snap them.

Mine does, Light comes on around 7,200 on mine IIRC.

Why not go custom? Get it exactly how you want then. As daft as it sounds but having mine decatted has made it more bearable. Yeah it's alot louder but it's doesn't drone half as much on the motorway.

1st Cup I owned had the kick and my current cup doesn't have the kick due to the R-Sport ECU. Got to say I don't really miss the kick, although the exhaust and engine note changes at 5k.

Bloody hell Ste, in Germany again? They'll be giving you a permanent residency due to all the time you spend there :rasp:

Mine did the exact same thing, took them out of the carriers and the material just fell off the metal backing plate.

Silver = to standard and boring IMO. Dark Anthracite FTW!

Because it was that badly seized on. I spent ages trying to get it off.

Oi! Anymore piss taking from you and I'm going to do a Jeremy Clarkson on your Air Con so you feel the same pain as us Cup owners :rasp:

Don't be saying that, you'll have all the Cup haters saying "told you so" :rasp: Although if you get stuck in traffic with this heat, it is a nightmare.

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=419698 That never worked for me, it didn't move at all. I got pissed off and yanked it and it snapped. Had to buy another arm. Try using a wiper arm pulled or even a ball joint splitter on it.

P.M Pete at Auto-Nation. Did me a really good deal on the discs and pads last year.

Should try GreenStuff pads then makes the standards feel brilliant lol. As Gaz says though, DS2500 and Brembo HC discs is a good set up, have it on mine currently and the stopping power is very good.

LOL! I was wondering why it looked "different"

Just found my knock sensor hanging off. I noticed yellow tape around it a while ago, so obviously the previous owner has snapped it while removing the oil filter and bodged it. I've just done a temporarily job on it and the engine seems to be running fine, have a rough idea on what it does...

Is the car used on track or just for B-Road blasts? The lad I bought my Konis off had just upgraded to the FK Konigsports because the Koni shocks weren't really adequate as he does alot of track work. Mine never sees a track so the Konis are perfect for me, eliminated alot of body roll without...

"WONT POST TO IRAQ OR PAKISTAN OR ANYWHERE" Lol. Don't blame him, I imagine posting a car would cost a fair bit :clown:

Think the cheapest place I saw them was LarkSpeed. I managed to get hold of a 2nd hand set so it wasn't such a big out lay for them.

I'm on this set up and really do rate it, It's pretty expensive and I can't comment on any of the coilover set up because I've never driven a 1*2 on them. I do plan to go a step further and get an ARB for the rear at some point.

When I was looking at buying a pair from ECP, they had two sizes listed for the Clio 172. It was either M12 or M10 sized holes. Not sure if that's for the holes that allow the ball joint to be bolted to the lower arm or the bolt you're talking about.

It really does seem to be a personal preference thing. I hated the Vredestines(sp) that were on my car originally, yet some people rated them highly.

Also had the displeasure of experiencing T1-Rs in the wet. Brilliant in the dry but a spot of rain and all the grip goes. When I had continentals on my other cup they were really good in all conditions, the PE2s on this car are better though.

Not sure what the yellow one's are. I've got the purple one's fitted on mine.
