    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    It’s Bonnie blue ffs, so you may as well just let it rape you for more cash. 😂😂

    Renault 5 sleeper - F4R on ITB’s

    Now it’s more of a track car, you need a proper diff. I can supply grippers you know? Ready when you are Bacon 😂😂😂

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    Didn’t come from the factory with it, so I can’t see it being needed.

    Parsons Motorsport 172 ph2

    Well they are my hubs! Lol! Steering kit/bump steer kit isn’t part of my original kit though mate. The main area of strength is in the bottom pin anyway, so you’ve got the strongest pair of hubs on the market 👍🏻

    They don’t look like a set of my hubs mate 🤷🏻‍♂️

    No mate, tickets haven’t even been released yet.

    Gripper Differentials.

    Well there’s 2 ways to tell if the diff is ready for a service: Your car no longer wants to put a set of 11’s down when you drop the clutch. You raise the nsf off the ground and put a torque wrench on the hub nut. With the torque wrench set to 60nm, if the torque wrench clicks off, it’s fine...

    Gripper Differentials.

    Grippers are at their best in race cars/track cars, but they can be used in road cars too. It just means choosing different ramp angles and preload settings to get the most life out of them really. But they do require servicing once the preload has dropped below a certain amount. The ramp...

    “Charlotte” The 182 FF

    Yeah it takes a lot before they’re condemned to the scrap bin tbh mate. Damaged casings are the quickest way to send them to the graveyard.

    The main thing is, it’s fixable mate 👍🏻

    Gripper Differentials.

    Hello folks, Just wanted to reach out to you all and let you know I can supply Gripper Diffs cheaper than pretty much anyone else, and not just for the Clio! Whatever they list on the website, I can sort out supplying. 👍🏻 You guys know my reputation, and I’ve lost count of how many I’ve...

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    You’ll need a small expanding puller to get that bearing out mate and a slide hammer!

    You’re welcome. 😂😂

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    I think the reason they’re failing is due to age mate tbh. Many heat cycles have gone through those clutch guide tubes now. As above, single mass flywheel not dual. Regards the flywheel, if there’s no significant grooves in it, or cracks that you can fit your finger nail in, just clean it up...

    Number 7 of the evening. And I don’t mean Chanel either.

    HELP: Removed my 182 Gearbox, more than Thrust Bearing Broken

    That’s the 3rd guid tube in almost as many weeks that’s fucked like that. Best advise is don’t skim the flywheel either. They don’t respond well to that and it makes them a potential point of failure - especially if they take too much meat off.

    Snapped bleed nipple

    You need to be careful that you don’t damage the seat of the bleed nipple in the caliper, otherwise it’ll never seal. What caliper is it on? A blue bmw caliper by any chance?

    Selecting 5th gear under the car

    You pull the lever all the way down, then push it back towards the rear of the car.

    Chasing electrical and alarm issues on the 182

    The alarm switch for the bonnet used to be an area of issues for setting the alarm off, but the alarm itself is an after thought on many clios, so you may find that the alarm itself is the key issue. You’ve got a battery drain on there which could also be setting the alarm off. You need to...

    Clio 172 Turbo - Idles okay but hunts after reving?

    No problem mate. I was that pissed off when I found out it was the throttle body on mine, I priced up a new one from Renault. Wasn’t as expensive as you’d think!

    Clio 172 Turbo - Idles okay but hunts after reving?

    Well I think plan of attack needs to be: Check for leaks on the inlet Swap out the throttle body Gut feel though says the throttle body could be the root cause. If you can calibrate the ecu to run off track 2 on the throttle body, you should see a difference. That’s what was done on mine to...

    Clio 172 Turbo - Idles okay but hunts after reving?

    Mine never put a check light on when the throttle body went fubar btw, but I was running a gen90, so not sure if they even do that?!

    Clio 172 Turbo - Idles okay but hunts after reving?

    Well the air leak is always a good shout, but I would expect it to idle higher from the get go. Worth spraying some brake cleaner around the inlet manifold area though to see if it raises the idle speed - obviously not spraying it near the turbo lol! Have you let it get up to temp? If so, does...

    Clio 172 Turbo - Idles okay but hunts after reving?

    It could be that the lambda isn’t seeing what it thinks it should be seeing after a throttle blip, so it’s trying to correct itself. The map will be saying I will see x amount of air/fuel at x throttle position. It could be getting the fuel, but not the air, so it would run rich But I also do...

    Clio 172 Turbo - Idles okay but hunts after reving?

    There’s a possibility that the valve springs being stiffer aren’t opening the valves as far - this is based on the hydraulic lifters being put under more load from the stiffer springs. The f4r doesn’t have good oil pressure from experience, so it could be the lifters not holding up to the...
