Thanks Mark. Any understeer on wet roundabouts after the setup was done?

Mark, its great to hear the positive feedback from you about NS, as I'm planning to book myself in there as soon as I've installed my camber bolts. What did you ask them to do? What was done to your car in the end? Could you please PM me the cost breakdown, not being pikey, but I'd like to...

1) What is Renault's figure for toe-in/out on the 182 cup? 2) What are people's prefered toe-in/out figures and why? 3) What is the stock camber? 4) Again, what do you guys run and how is it? Not as important, and more out of interest, do those with coilovers run their front dampers...

Don't cut them off completely! The angle grinder will allow you to take them back enough. If it's directly below the fuse box then smack the hell out of it with a lump hammer to flatten it a bit. Might have to put some fuses back in afterwards. lol

Finally someone's let us know after having the threads deleted and no response!! Do we just quote Cliosport Fred?

The subframes have several pre-drilled holes, so there aren't sliders. Even on the furthest forward setting you wouldn't be able to squeeze into the back :) Oh, and even if you could, the harnesses would castrate you ;)

American's don't know England still exists.

Do you have any pics of them on your 172? Would like to see how cool they must look. Where could you buy R888's from?

....and heavier and higher. These seats are definitely a compromise of practicality. Not a difficult decision though, it went something like this: Did I spend the previous year with a 2-seater? Yes. Did it bother me? No! ;)

Had the suspension geometry been done yet? Looks like the back is lower than the front....get the angle grinder out boys! ;)

Few more pics for you tim:

I bought seats from Loony, who originally had them in his 182. The seats alone would set you back about £600-700, then you need the subframes + harnesses. Some guys on here sell that kind of thing, so maybe they could do it cheaper, I'm not sure :)

I owned a mk1, and have driven a mk2 (not hard!)... From this I would say I'd go for a mk2 mainly on build quality / materials alone. The interior is a much nicer place to be. The power is a bit higher, but so is the weight. Bit more top-end kick in the mk2, but nothing major. The...

Let's just say that if my face gets smashed in, I won't be compensated ;) (although that is never going to happen in those harnesses!)

Ross, I got an external microphone we can hook-up to my laptop to get decent recordings. Watch this space! But you gotta play it back on a hifi with a good sub to get the full effect!

You can't use it. I find that motorways, etc are so busy now, that its not really an essential feature.

To be honest, those clips only indicate when the exhaust goes bang - the sound is so different to that its plain silly. To try and describe what it really sounds like, well its like a mix between a normal clio and a touring car. The idle sounds seriously aggressive.

Can I have angelworks headwork on my lawnmower please? Sometimes I feel it doesn't get around the garden nearly as quickly as Ross'. Maybe it needs a remap, it is a bit lumpy.

:approve:

Maybe they didn't like the sound of my voice! I have ordered them from 2modified now, very helpful and cheaper than the others :approve:

Just phoned Motorsport where they retail for £47 - seems quite a lot, anyone else sell these?

No, that's nowhere near unusable on the road - unless he takes part in 4x4 weekend events!

Think that looks fantastic mate :approve:

A couple of extra seconds getting into the car, no big deal. I spend longer trying to get the key into the ignition. lol (not sure what that says about me). Uncomfortable? Have you sat in these? They're luxury! Can't slouch in them :)

Sorry, don't agree, Apex's are fine if wheels are kept standard. Slightly stiffer, but not 'harsh'.

Slam it! Please note: this comment is obligatory

Indeed, very easy (and also a good earth for my amp!)

Here you go

Milton Keynes (north) was empty the other day.

Thanks guys :)
