seems they had about as much talent as their barber!

all dat torque.... oh wait..

with your budget a good condition 182 with cup pack, you would be very lucky if you found a good trophy for under 4k

We had one for a while specced up with all the options, i loved it until it had its belt changed, didnt realise at the time it was a similar setup to the 172, got the local garage to do it with genuine parts but never ran properly after that, was definately down on power, cracking wee engine though!

fantastic! looking forward to seeing your progress!

Tell me about it mate about to test drive my new lawn mower, been excited All day at work when i saw the sun

still not saw it in the flesh with the new wheels. I notice macrae and dick have 3 white ones sitting out the front, each over 25k! good news for you lol

Was just thinking the orange didnt look too bad then i saw the yellow, fantastic work!

as above looks good at that height but will drive a million times better on factory dampers, mine has eibach prolines and sits about standard with good ride quality while still having reduced roll when you throw it in!

Between the gearbox and the subframe, on the underside near the front, visable from the passengers wheel arch if you remove the wheel and pull the arch linger back

na subframe is the same fitment, RS one does have the mounting for the 4th engine mount that the non Rs one has but you can just drill that anyway, I believe the RS one might be thicker from memory but I cant remember. lower arms are interchangeable though I know that much!

yes they do but the mk2 onwords doesn't have the same setup as the mk1 clio/saxo/106 etc that are a pain to lower! they use springs instead to set the height

I remember when I first joined here, loads of people had these along with the clio 16v's seem ultra rare now!!

got a set of 182 arms, hubs, brakes, suspension, ARB for my DCi 80, just wondering do I need the driveshafts? I remember something about 172, cup, 182 all using different shafts is that correct or is it just the cup that had specific shafts? what about ABS do all clios have the same amount of...

didn't someone actually find the engine had more low down torque with it fitted? I might be wrong but sure I read that a couple of years back?

cracking engines, the reason they weren't very popular is because people that wanted performance went for the 2.0 16v, people that wanted cheap running costs went 1.2 16v or 1.5 DCi so you had the 1.6 in the middle that wasn't very fast and wasn't very cheap to run! for the money you pay for...

im quite content with the trophy and a couple of DCI's (got a mk2 and a mk4), just took a deposit on the cup got a feeling its going to fall through though. will get a laguna GT when my dci dies, if it ever does.

the heater controls don't dim with the dimmer which is odd however, the clock does

id rather convert a car than buy a van for a couple of reasons. 1. you get cheaper road tax, the cars are £20/£30 a year compaired to the vans which I believe are well over £100 2. you get the choice of the 80 or 100bhp engines where the vans are all 65 (think the later ones might have been 70)...

excellent work, whats next? plans for more power? how does she sound?

Cheers guys I'll stop cluttering your thread now! We should have a dci chat thread for random chat!

cool, what about how it drives, spool up a bit quicker?, granted mines is an 03 on 150k, 11yrs older than our mk4, but I find the mk4 spools really quickly, id like a little more response under 2k, not that it needs it just something I think it would benefit from

standard then no, I didn't notice any difference, worth while if you plan on remapping though

Tow it is the only way to be worry free, if ur not towing it just drive it normally and dont worry about it, it it happens it happens, you would be very, very unlucky if it happened again to you!!

Oh aye i saw that actually, just sold my cup and trying to tell myself i dont need a loud dci 100!

update: MOT ran out a month ago, it sat in the drive and I used the cup every day since its been pretty dry. Booked an MOT and thought ill just scrap it if it fails badly, local place is known for being pretty strict with MOT's got a phone call that afternoon to say it was ready to collect, not...

tyres are imo the most important thing for these (or any for that matter) cars. my favourite setup ive ran for the road (excluding the trophy obviously!) was a ph2 172, Michelin PS3's refreshed front end, 172 cup dampers and eibach sportlines (the cooksports get a really good name but ive yet to...

good base to start with, I like the 1.6 vvt engine. where did you bring it from?

there is a slot under the speaker grill on the door, just stick a screw driver in and leaver it off, this gives you access to the speakers, 2 (I think they are T20) torx screws hold the speaker in.

Any videos of the sound of the decat? Looking at doing mine when the turbos due
