yeah I do but over 10 years of doing so with this car and it never looked like this

will check them but when I had the pads changed it all looked good

My rear brakes (discs especially) look quite bad, any ideas? pads still have plenty material in them, discs still have the required thickness

Is the hub hole issue easy to spot? no one saw anything so far :( But I'll definitely have a closer look at this, thanks! I can understand that solid mounts equals more sound but it's louder than expected though

they are all fine mate, as said, the car has been checked several times and nothing obvious was found except once- the caliper carier, but had that sorted and still the same. There is no loud noise coming from somewhere, it's just that on rougher surfaces you can hear tiny knocks coming from...

Hi guys, My 182 FF was always kinda noisy when it handled road bumps, even when completely stock. Now I have gaz gha coilies, k tec solid mounts and arb poly bushes, dog bone and k tec engine mounts so everything's pretty tight. I have the car cheched from underneath several times and only...

Hi there, I know that removing the shims is a popular habbit around here, I also had them removed, we all know the reasons why. But just watched a 30+ min vid on a mechanic's youtube channel in which he insisted that the shims if installed properly on nice an clean carriers, with grease used on...

Wow thx for the info on this!

Is there a b16 version available for the clio? didn't knew that! it doesn't appear on the bilstein site or anywhere else

As above really :smile: have mine for about 3 years and still love it!

Yeah it looks like it. I could find a part number in one pic written on the front shock: f4-vm3-f584-h1 did a search on it but found nothing!

Some guy is selling these and they are supposed to fit the clio MKII, but I never seen this kit from bilstein! you can see the front having some rebound adjustment!

on the rear if you have smth like ET35 wheels or the std ET45 with 10 mm spacers it will be enough I would say

The first time a guy who used to work at a renault dealer and had experience and the right tools, the second time a friend who has a garage but I did make sure he had the cam tools and also assisted him, looked like he did well. Both places outside UK so other details wouldn't help Totally...

I would put some oil on them if they feel dry to the hand. I use Motorex Foam filter oil

I went to a dyno test some time ago and the car came with 155 bhp @ the fly - which seemed rather poorly don't you think? It pulls well ( as far as I can tell) and keeps up (if not slightly ahead) with a 197 which made 184 bhp on the same dyno. The same day just before me another 182 did 151 bhp...

mine do the same on some of the wheels, can't remember if on the front or rear. Didn't bother to solve the problem although it annoys me :)) But I'd do it like this: Firstly I would get some alloy ones - it seems better this way but I may be wrong? Secondly the ones that stick to the hubs I...

if you'll encounter ice or snow I would definitely go for winter tyres. The difference in grip is MASSIVE, tried and tested Not worth putting your safety at risk tbh

wheel size- I'd also say ET35 x 7J 15". Tyre size: depends on which tyre really. Track orientated tyers sometimes are wider, for example my 595 rsr's are the std 182 size ie 205/45 r16 but they are visibly wider than the older michelins I had (also 205/45) So the safest bet would be to run...

For trackdays only- I would polybush the whole car. Even the rear exhaust mount. Can't see a reason not to, even on a road car. I had on mine at some point the whole front end done (arb, lower wishbones, dogbone) plus the k-tec solid mounts. Some say the car will be noisier but I felt no...

I have the same dilemma. Would put some spacers on the front (max 10mm) but have to do more research to see hot it might affect handling. But if you keep the std alloys which are ET45 then you probably be ok with no more than 10mm spacers front and rear. I have ET37 so my wheels basically are...

Could't find for the clio linkage these sockets, but there are many linkages on ebay, used but in good condition at a decent price

How are the AR-1's performing? :)

it was a guy who makes bags, wallets, caps and all sort of accessories. I'm not UK based but you should find craftsmen like him around you Another ideea would be to rescue an old mountain back pack and use the material for the job

I know the ultras in that size and bolt spec is only ET37, never heard of 30. I have the same wheels, with no spacers and federal rsr tyres. The rear tyres used to rub on the arch (top of it) but had the arch pulled out a bit and it's fine now. The fronts rub in heavy downhill cornering...

I have some 15" 6,5J steel rims, would they be ok for track day what do you think? I kinda hate them (they rusted a bit and look daft) but on the other hand buying decent alloys is not that cheap.

I'm in in no hurry tbh, winter is coming so I won't rush into a decision unless it's a very good deal. I've read about the AR1's, the federals and they all do have good reviews. I could also get A048's at about 82 quid a corner so I have some options to choose from :)

Well i guess I could ask about their age and see. But at 70 quit a corner they are tempting

I have asked a friend who sells car parts and stuff for some track day tyres options. Initially I was thinking of federal fz-201 or nankang AR-1 but he's unable to provide those so he told me he could get those ZR9 tyres at a decent price. They look very similar to toyo's R888 and was curious if...

Seen a guy asking what parts are needed to convert a non cup 1*2 to cup specs in the expert section on the renaultsport.uk site and the answer was that the costs will be prohibitive and the better way is to sell the car and get a cup packed instead.. Now as far as I know the 182 cup for example...
