Is that pulling away in 2nd gear?

I noticed when i removed the standard head unit that there is a wire connected to the corresponding "remote" on an ISO block, so ill give this a shot.

I guess if you dont declare them then the insurance company can refuse to pay out and technically youre driving without insurance I wouldnt get this too out of perspective though, if you were to have a rear shunt or if you shunted your car into someone else, I very much doubt an insurance...

Noticed a slight knock noise for the first time today, only in first gear when accelerating and coming off the gas suddenly - sounds like the engine rocking or something. Time to read the thread!

Ive sent the dude a PM for the pics.

Doh, i saw that but looks like the pics are deed?

All, (did a search, nothing conclusive) Just looking at running the power from the battery to the boot and its not looking easy on the 182. Anyone got any tips for the most pain-free/easiest method for this? i can see a gromet in the footwell on the passenger side that looks like its maybe...

Yeah John, its just the standard head unit - ive not toyed with anything yet - so it says on the wires whats what? (rear right, etc?) Btw - ive got the K&N out the Fez for your mate

Drove it like i stole it. Seriously, i varied my driving using all of the rev range and gears, only taking it "on cam" after about 500 miles or so - a nice mix of urban stop/start and motorway miles. Now its got 2500 miles on it, i give it some serious stick once its warmed up fully. I...

Im interested to know which colours are which as im wanting to hang a hi/lo converter off the rear right and rear left pairs of wires - anyone know what colours they are? (presumably the same colours at both ends!)

I found http://www.caraudiohelp.com/how_to_install_a_car_amp/no_remote.htmthis

To the best of my knowledge, the standard 182 head unit doesnt have this? Im thinking that if the remote from the amp just requires 12v to signal an "on", just splice the remote cable into the power supply for the head unit so that once i switch it on it turns the amp on?

Managed to get a "rear left/right to RCA" converter from Halfrauds for £6 which will allow me to connect the amp/sub to the standard headunit, but this poses another problem - how to wire the remote on/off from the amp to the standard headunit - any ideas? Bit stumped on this one, but ive not...

Where from / how much / is it possible? My days of loud ice are over, but i want to get use out of the 12" Vibe ported sub fairly soon for one evening. The quickest method (without changing the head unit) would probably be to take the left and right pairs for the rear speakers and wire them...

Itll be one of these http://gear.viper007bond.com/downloads.php?PHPSESSID=7614611ee93afd004c7beb26b9776605

Typically you can buy a Cyrus CD player for about £600-ish and then a Cyrus amp for about another £800-ish. Then you need cabling (preferably silver interconnects), speaker cable and speakers on top of that. Not cheap, but you can spend a lot more even still. For example...

Uh oh, sounds like another coolant temp sensor problem. Ive had this happen to my 182, exactly the same problems (revs locked at 2000 rpm, temp gauge all over the place), had it in to Renault and fixed under warranty. You might wanna ask them to check the cat incase any unburnt fuel (as a...

I wasnt slating it, i was putting into context what it feels like for someone to have a dig at something youre passionate about (for you i presume is your car). I dont think its a shed, but if you spend money/effort on it only for someone to tell you its a waste; youre gonna get offended...

man, sounding like a broken record. If you have the cash, whats the problem? If I asked you how much money youve wasted on your shed of a Clio, would you take offence?

This has gotten far too messy, its a bit "my dick is bigger than your dick" a typical male fu*ktard attitude thats spoiled a previously interesting thread about watches. Its all relative. Some people might look at you guys (and me..) and think "you spent £12k on a Renault?! youve got more...

Doing a steady 65 mph or so on the motorway, i averaged about 39 mpg. At about 100 mph, it was about 20 mpg :oops:

Quote: TBH dave a std 182 is a good car, but theres HUGE room for improvement the biggest thing that annoys me about the 182 is owners "believing the hype" renault feed them!!! eg The special michelin tyres on the 182 are the best ever The "cup" suspension is fantastic Theyre...

wow, great vid, would like to see more of the Evo tussle

I want my 182 absolutely standard on the outside, considered tinted window though. Apart from a nice, shiny exhaust; i imagine the performance mods will still the same - at least until the warranty is out.

Yeah, saw it, thought "woaaahhh thats a nasty looking cup 172" :(

I bought mine from motorprovider.co.uk back in November for £12500 with cup suspension/spoilers and metallic paint.
