    +30hp is optimistic you will probably gain about 25hp on a dci 110 and more useful a chunk of torque

    Power steering has just sh*t the bed, what are my options?

    Epas all the way, love mine, and the benefit is the car seems very keen through the revs with no AC and Hpas

    Shoudnt the 172 feel quicker than this?

    I got a genuine 1.6 k4m one 2nd hand, cheap as chips and works fine

    Front ARB bushes

    Big long thin but and bolt, ramp them up, hold closed with mole grips, remove nut and bolt, fit final nut and bolt. That's how I done the last set when I had a subframe off, the vans were done in situ and I just used longer bolts, it was a shite job

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Had it out again today since it's nice. I've had a little issue where on hard braking it dives left, the pedal feels nice, I've bled more litres of fluid than I care to remember, all calipers are free and healthy, geometry is spot on. Doing a bit of research I found one thread where a faulty...

    Shoudnt the 172 feel quicker than this?

    You know, I've always said that too but my current 182 van on a standard exhaust and epas is actually very nice to live with! Although I don't daily it, I'm sure I could!

    Pro-Line Braided rear lines

    I bought new replacement ones from autodoc and they sit nicely as the standard ones had movement in them

    182 white plastic ball joint shim?

    Always wondered what these were for. I bin them lol

    Pro-Line Braided rear lines

    As above fiddly but they go in ok as long as you make sure you are at the right angle. I retained the clips but was very tempted to go without them as above. I can't remember off the top of my head but will jacking the car higher, possibly removing the bottom bolts from the rear dampers give...

    Locking wheel nuts

    First thing I remove on a car these days. Who steals wheels now???!!!

    Loose Read End

    Cold rear tyres and shot rear dampers would be my guess. The rear is very unpredictable and horrible when the rear dampers are gone. They won't always have oil leaking down them either so don't assume they are all good because there is no sign of leaks

    RS172 Limp mode >6800 RPM - DF254+DF002 - throttle body?

    I changed a throttle body and accelerator pedal with no luck before finding the big white plug! Contact cleaner and job was good!

    Adding people changes the gear ratios????

    Clio 1.2 tce misfire

    as above all could be possible, injectors was the first thing that came to my head. ideal time for an upgrade lol

    Kangoo 182 Project

    definitely, but I suppose the key is the experience of having done a load of them and having the space and tools to do it. My Clio conversion took me the best part of 6 months by the time I got it on the road. Doing a few hours a night and the odd weekend, sourcing parts etc but that was...

    Kangoo 182 Project

    not start to finish but I've helped finish one off that was already done, and done other similar conversions. Its on my wish list to build one maybe this winter

    Kangoo 182 Project

    mot ready to a good usable standard surely, its not a hard job when you have a donner car

    Newbie with a clean unmodified 1995 Valver

    i dont own a valver but assume you can fit 195/50/15 on those wheels? set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3 would do lovely on it! Tyre performance has come on a lot in the last 20 years so it would transform a valver! Thats lovely BTW! interested if it goes up for sale lol

    Kangoo 182 Project

    When you have done a few surely it's a weekends work? Worst case a week. If I got £1k for a weeks work I would be delighted!

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Ive got to say I've had this out almost every dry day after work. In all my days of driving 172/182 I've never had so much fun as I do in this. It's comedy as when your in a genuine 182 the young lads in the slow cars leave you alone and the boys in the golf R's bully you. But in this, tip it...

    DCi 100 rack part number

    i never understand people struggling to get it, my local scrappy has at a guess 20 non RS epas clios in, as does most of the others close by

    French n00b gearbox compatibility Q - JB1/3 bellhousings

    I've not done it before but they look the same externally to me except the starter motor is on the front on the jb1 and rear in jb3. I would take a good guess that you can use the current shafts

    Suzuki Alto Works - Any experience with these?

    I will own a kei car at some point, I must!!! However, as cool as I feel they are, I bet in reality they are pretty garbage lol Checkout the mighty car mods videos of Marty's daihatsu Mira
