saw a yellow 182 parked outside a house in airdrie on my way back from the time capsuel tonight lol beleive the lads on here? paul i think?

erm...... whats with the lack of masking?

renault didnt call it the FF so technically theres no such thing as a 182ff either :rasp: cars nice mate, would look much nicer with standard wheels though lol

was just a bit of fun really we painted it ourselfs lol has a B18C i think its called? in it (engine was taken from a 1.8 civic coupe?)

no better manifold out there for the 172 than the 182 manifold, thats what im running on mine and its awesome, paired up with a k-tec decat pipe and k-tec recessed system its awesome, pulls like a train compaired to standard!

some of my mates cars from lastnight when we went a blast....

renault quote over £550 when i checked, a non dealer might do it for around the £250/£300 mark if you supply the tools if they dont have them. MAKE SURE they do as their required. best bet is maby to nip into the workshop at renault and ask 1 of the RTE techs if they fancy a homer

Was going to keep this quiet but after a weeks work and some time collecting parts im too excited and need to spill the beans LOL anyway, the 172 after 5years and 45k miles of hard driving was starting to feel a little tired, still pulling stronger than ever with the 182 manifold and decatted...

the hydraulic steering is very heavy i had an argument with my mum who insists my power steering "doesnt work" lol but its awesome for driving fast with when your used to it! wheel should return to the centre though, check tyre pressures and check for un eaven wear

anyone got the renault workshop manual for doing the cambelt on the 172? ive got the tools just fancy having the manual before i start incase theres anything i miss!

loose the spare wheel, tool kit, all the carpet in the boot, the plastic on the inside of the boot, rear speakers, sound deadning behind rear door cards would be a start while still looking standard!

haha wish id wated, a year and a half ago i payed £7200 for my mint 172

mine when standard made 173bhp and 146lb/ft on a cs RR day where most cars were spot on!

not priced matching yet but think AWT are around £170 odd? and no just the 98ron map from fastchip

stripe is horrid, wheels look gash, sport badge and random other badge look out of place id have kept it tidy looking, keep it simple, subtle, remove badges not add!

ive got 182 manifold, decat, k-tec stealth, itg pannel filter and it pulls like a train compaired to how it was standard. removed the inlet manifold today ready to send off to be matched and getting an RSTuner from fastchip to map it

yep dogbone mount, if it uses the same one as the 1.2 16v then only around the £30 mark max i think? my dci is on 141k and its needing one too!

its just fast road use and odd track day now and then so more than up to the job then? decent pads and disks are awesome as is just fancy something a bit bigger and more flash on top of the extra braking power

anyone got any experiance with these on a 172/182? looking at the 2 piece blue ones like the pic on their home page, they look the tits lol!! http://www.hispecmotorsport.co.uk/ what pads are worth using with them, ive always stuck to EBC but open to any recomendations?

thats the way it should have sat from the factory imo!! lupo is awesome, i love them!

as said wouldnt bother with stop watch lol, i timed 60-110 on mine and it was 10 seconds

ive got the ultra performance recessed one on my 172 and its sweet as f**k! best sounding system ive ever heard

mine is a little animal lol my mate couldnt beleive how quick it was for 65bhp! ive actually got a feeling mine has been mapped lol i dont remeber them being this quick when test driving the first 1! need to get it RR'd my turbo was loud when boost pipe was blown, quiet now just hear a little...

i recognise it either that or theres 1 thats 1 letter out on the reg plate going about stirling where you from?

2k kick in the dci FTW my 172 kicks much better than the standard 1s ive driven

replacement hose fitted tonight wee thing goes really well for what it is! the low down torque is amazing! it feels quicker low down than my 172 but ive not driven that in a month so im probably in for a shock haha! now has a little problem where at full throttle the little orange light under...

lol yeah it really is easy but if your not confident doing it then a garage will probably do it for 2hrs labour! so your looking £60-£80 max

can you use 182 suspension on a 172 i thought the bolt spacing was different?

you wont need spring compressors for coilovers as your not taking the standard shocks apart just removing and fitting the new ready assembled ones

2 hour job max! can probably be done in an hour! start with the rear its easier, unbolt the rear damper from the top (inside the boot, then jack it up to take the weight of the car and remove the bottom bolts of the damper so the damper comes off. keep jacking it up untill the springs can be...
