Perfect. Thanks.

Hi all, Looking into suspension on my 172, which currently has ktec coilies on. I had eibach sportlines on my 182, which I always thought sat a bit high, but handled amazingly. I am looking to strip out the 172 (rear bench etc. and buckets), has anyone got pics/project thread for how this...

My old 182; Started off as a 100k plus dog, needed belts, suspension sorting, driveshaft, water pump etc etc; And the new'un;

Well, some of you may remember me from 2012 when I had a BG 182. Spent a small fortune sorting it out, only for it to be written off by an inconsiderate Zafira driver! Anyway, 3 years on and I have just yesterday picked up a Pearl Black 172. 86k, belts done by Dan@SJM. Mods are Ktec...

@Martin. shouldnt be an issue on ph2s, I think its something to do with the rear arch lips being different on a ph1.

1.9tdi VAG - Leon/A3/Golf/Octavia. Comfortable, get one that hasnt been messed with and they are good, reliable cars. I had zero problems with mine and did around 30k in it in 18 months, mainly motorway miles.

It is the sort of car; a) people buy cheap, realise they might not be able to afford to maintain it, sell it on. b) buy it to 'experience' the hype, sell it on. It wouldnt bother me if it drives well and if you can tell its been looked after.

Awesome thread. Exactly what I want to do when I finally sort a 1*2 out. Subscribed.

Hi all, Looking to get back into the rs scene, had a 182 a few yeara ago that was unfortunately written off by a Zafira with anger management issues! Considering a ph1, but concerned about rust! Where are the common spots and, is it a major issue on these? Is any of it hidden? Cheers all.

Yep, this was mine and was Wests before me. Was on 118k and the engine DRANK oil but had new belts recently at Diamond. Powerflex bushes, new brembo discs new calipers, HEL brakelines, superblue, RS tuner 98 ron map... shame really. Bodywork was terrible though... yes I am aware it is now a LOT...

Sorry to hear this mate, seems you cant have anything nice these days without always looking over your shoulder for these scumbags! Hope you get as 'good' a result as you can from it.

Jesus, didnt expect that. Glad your OK (to an extent!), its cliche but cars can be replaced.

Yes mate!

The SERV light isnt a service light, it means theres a fault code.

Gloss black?

Stick with Kenwood/Pioneer and Alpine, get used stuff if you want the most for your money.

Is that the SX kit? Good call on loosing the stickers as well. Wheels look good as well. Would say colour code the bump strips but might be to much silver...

Love this, saw it at Micks a while back and enquired about this but you beat me to it ;) Can I just ask who you use for your dents and scuffs? Got a few similar things I need to sort. Thanks. EDIT: Just noticed the plate is very similar to my dead 182 OE04 YWN. Yep...

As Nick said, I had sportlines and new cup dampers and it rode better then my mates on Ktec coilies and handled a damnsight better in my opinion. I had Brembo discs, DS25000s, braided lines and ATE superblue fluid and it was more then enough.

Yeah Ive seen this one about as well, parks near the scrappys next to Tesco.

Thought it was only the dampers and springs that were different on the 172 Cups?

Timing chain tensioner? Mate had this problem on his cooper s. Common problem apparantly and will munch the engine according to the horror stories.

Yes. CNC'd I believe.

Come to the pub later and we will scour the classifieds!

How do you not know my username? Haha you call it me all the time! And again, I told you so ;) Clio power.

Im Derby/Notts way and looking at getting my 182 wheels done up there if you want to split fuel etc? And love the yellow beast btw!

Thanks for the info. So the seller doesnt need to do anything to the RSTuner before it is sent - I just need to purchase a new license based on my ECU. Is that correct?

Yeah, but does it need to be 'unlocked' by the old user? Or can I just buy a new license and do it myself? Im asking because it was supposed to be sent today and this would hold it up etc.

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?420716-READ-before-you-buy-a-2nd-hand-RSTuner With reference to the above, I have bought a used RS Tuner and myself and the seller want to know whether it needs to be unlocked if the car type is the same? The thread mentions differences in license...

RB_stu has paid me and has taken my spot. Cheers. Gutted though :/
