    1.2 Dynamique 2002. High Clutch?

    high bite is perfectly normal on the mk2 1.2 16v, id say the struggling to get into gear is probably more a worn lower engine mount than the clutch

    Any tips/advice?

    if your doing fast road and not track work (although perfectly suited to track work) the best thing you can do is brand new genuine dampers all round, a set of eibach sportlines, solid top mounts, fresh track rods and track rod ends and a geometry setup to finish it all off! makes them feel...

    Nokia - on the brink of self destruction?

    yep agree'd that they have massively shot themselfs in the foot with the current lumias coming with 7.5 which isnt all that compaired to what 8 is apparently going to be however ive not really read up much on windows phone. the last update to symbian is roumoured to be adding dual core and HD...

    My DCI 100 thread, (her name is Carmel)

    looking good, no need to change the intercooler unless your doing serious work. standard exhaust doesnt look too bad but ive never tried one with an aftermarket one. standard cat is a nightmare tho get that off! that plus a map will give you 130hp and 190lbft no problem, clutch cant take anymore...

    Turbo cup or fd3?

    one of my best mates has an awesome RX7, but after spending enough hours/days/weeks helping out on the thing and watching the money it has cost. i could never in a million years consider one. when they work they are an awesome piece of kit, he has now got his to a level where it can hopefully...

    Yellow wheels on a RB 182?

    i think yellow will suit it but will need to have a nice stance and some tasty wheels. standard wheels in yellow will look terrible

    Timing Belt Changed and now no Air Con??? Advice needed

    even if they had some how drained all the gas out it, the pump should still be engaging and causing noise/load, id imagine however im not sure how aircon systems work.

    it passed the test this time!

    stick a set of brembo HC discs on it, get them nice and cheaply from the guy on here that sells them, then if you feel flush a set of DS2500 pads but they are pretty expensive!

    More money than sense?

    Re: more money than sence??? potentially, be able to get a good idea by a good look at the tyres/brakes/ underside of the car etc. my gran probably does that sort of millage in 4yrs though but i wouldnt have her buying a brand new car lol

    Timing Belt Changed and now no Air Con??? Advice needed

    they shouldnt have had to touch it could have some how damaged one of the pipes on the system though. what do you mean by its not working? turn it on etc just no cold air?

    So you said it couldn't be done... 182 Bought!

    you have been ripped off, i bet someones farted on the seat and i bet it has a stone chip on the front. guaranteed one of the sidelight bulbs fuses soon if it hasnt already done so and i bet its got a dirty accelerator pedal. has anyone sat in the back seats? is there any sign anyone has used...

    it passed the test this time!

    not sure what the best way to do it would be on a mk3 as im not that clued up on whats all interchangeable (on a mk2 non RS id swap all the RS bits over and run widetrack but not sure what to do on these) or possibly just go custom brackets to fit the callipers and see if you can find a 4 stud...

    it passed the test this time!

    unbeleivably its the same front setup that was used on the williams back in the day, just shows how much the cars have grew in weight!! as i agree they are under braked, dont know why renault didnt fit the 280mm front setup from the 172/182. The Twingo RS has that setup! I was planning on...

    Re: My 5-door dCi project get a dci80 intercooler on it now that its mapped to lower the inlet temps and unlock a bit more power and mpg! get yourself over to www.renaultdci.net

    So you said it couldn't be done... 182 Bought!

    they should pull no problem nice and stronly to 7000rpm and can feel a little flat after that but you should be getting your kick of power at 5000rpm when it comes on cam and have a strong powerband until over 7000rpm. yeah gains are optimistic, to be honest out of all the main exhausts for...

    it passed the test this time!

    i found although it made peak power higher up, because it made peak torque just after 2000rpm it wasnt actually much quicker when doing 4k changes than it was just using the torque to shift you along, just used more fuel and made more noise haha! (granted it was quicker though, if i was really...

    So you said it couldn't be done... 182 Bought!

    my mate has an RS192 and had had 2 centre sections fail in less than a year. possibly just a dodgey batch though. they have been sorted out no problem under warranty though. its a bit of a nightmare to get it and keep it sitting straight too, but that appears to be an issue with most 182...

    id imagine your mapped one flys! my standard one was pretty quick, rarely ever took it past 3000rpm too!!
