i'll be there, looking to passenger. Mines a road pimp only :D

ok mate cheers, will have a search around.

nice mate. which spacers did you use on the back? I want to do mine after its lowered but not sure which ones are best to get. do you have a direct link to them?

haha. Yeah I know what you mean. You would be surprised how these 172/182's go round a track with very little done to them. depends how much bhp you want though :) if your going 200+bhp then your talking £££.

hi and welcome Stu. if I were you I would either; A. Do as you said above and go and see Chi. He knows his stuff. B. Go and buy a half decent 172/182 and have fun doing it up. Gives you something to do and you will enjoy it a lot more on track. C. Do B with a car from A (option c ftw)

welcome :) I bet you get a lot of stone chips there.

cheers matt

get some tarpaulin over it, keep it dry or rust will start to set in.

wow. That colour is beautiful.

why would you want lower than that? doesn't it scrub like all the time?

FK are a decent brand for the price of the springs. For road use they are fine, better than standard anyway.

172 or 182? title says 172, then you put 2003 182? 172 alloys but you are getting 182 ones? confused :p

still put some pictures up if you can, lets see how it looks. Welcome to the Clio fold anyway :)

this could take some time here: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/172-182-guide-cup-packs-spec-info.562600/

managed to get the splitter on today. Was a pretty straight forward job. Hardest part was probably trimming the edges at the right angle so I just used electrical tape to get a visual of if and got a thin circular blade to cut off the overhang. the second pic gives you an idea of how much bigger...

few photos after cleaned inside. one photo before the splitter is fitted will post another after ita fitted and one before I put some cooksports on

update: new plates on, French flag grill stickers (I made these, can make more) and have bought a Fabia splitter but I'm yet to fit that.

did the camera take your avatar picture by any chance? :P just kidding

cheers mate, an old fella had it before me, is in mint condition to be fair. When inwent to look at it the guy told me it was mint so I thought yeah yeah, here we go. When I got there and saw it was like showroom spec. well happy with it :) i like the original alloys. Must admit I'm tempted to...

have now got the plates on and have ordered me a fabia splitter. will add some photos when ive got it fitted. I'm on the prowl for some cooksport springs and have posted over on the wanted section. if you have any or know of anyone selling let me know. sportlines would be ok aswell as long as...

cheers for the reply's. what's the reason for changing back to OEM topmounts with standard shocks? and why wouldn't you run aftermarket springs with non cup shocks? if it hasn't got cup shocks on I will be changing to them but just curious.

looking to get me some cooksport springs for the 172 (non cup) my questions are; the previous owner has had ktec topmounts fitted which leads me to believe he may of changed the shocks to cup shocks. However he may not have so how do I tell the difference between standard and cup shocks? also...

cheers. is there any difference in ride height between cup and non cup shocks? I only ask as the guy I bought it off has put ktec topmounts on so I'm not sure if its standard shocks or cup.

are these ok to run with non cup 172 shocks?

will jump in here save starting a new thread. how come opie don't stock elf oils? was trying to keep it to elf as that's what's always been used in it.

can do nath, just need to make sure I'm a definite first as work is getting busy. 99% I'm there though.

Got it off already. Had to snap the chrome surround to get the plates out then unscrew the backing plate off. 3/4 plates on now :)

lol boomer, I was thinking the same thing

I'm there. :yes:

ugh!
