looks like a good runabout, I prefer small turbo petrols to diesels, I don't do massive miles anyway, I wouldn't pay anything near that for one. im sure when I bought my GT DCi mk3 with every option bar sat nav ticked it cost me just under £15k, this is 5k more expensive!!

I fancied a GT 120 TCE for running about in but by the time you add heated leather and climate control its just under 20k! no thanks!!

my 200 had started to do this very slightly not as bad as yours, i had it from new until it was 10 months old, there was various other paint defects such as runs on the bottom of the passengers wing etc. i had enough bother with it mechanically to even attempt to get the paint work sorted, hence...

I wouldnt set foot in any garage that does your tracking while a work track rod end is on the car!!

Clio 200 over 182 any day if funds allow, never driven a Z4 so cant comment

maby I just never have bother as mine are off 10x a year lol!!!

never had any issues with these, sounds like you need a bigger bar and some shock and unlock form Halfords!

had a look around a liquid yellow one in my local dealers, guy came over briefly told me that it has launch control does 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and they aren't getting a demo in, neither is any of the Arnold clarks in this area, if I want one I need to buy one lol No thanks!

something odd I found today, im looking for a car for my mrs as she passed her test this week, she wants something nice I want something reliable but fun for me to use too occasionally, anyway one of the cars we were looking at was a corsa VXR. done an insurance quote on a 2007 one and it was...

so 2010!!!!! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?520945-ph1-172-BOOBS!!&highlight=boobs

for me 182 manifold with ktec decat link pipe, matched inlets and RS tuner map are all mods ive been most happy with! shame my current clio has none of them yet lol

I like the FK's

remap :)

good old torque limiter at 2250rpm!! get that gone!!! mine peaked at 190lbft!

its a generic map powertune use yes but its not as if these engines are running any sort of custom mods they are all much the same so the generic map was a live map just it was mapped on someone elses car! joe will do you a economy, performance or 50/50 map what ever you prefer, I went for...

standard silver!

you can remap it. never heard of HQ garage, I used powertune for mine

you could always go for eibach prolines which are much the same ride height as standard but with the extra stiffness of the sportlines, not many people use them though as the sportlines offer a nice drop but not enough to cause any issues. ive just fitted to my 172... 172 cup front dampers 182...

someone had this a few years back on here and eibach put it right for them!

were the wheels straight? if so sounds like possibly the assembly nut on top of the strut that holds the bearing etc in place is loose, should be able to do it I think without removing the strut just remove the top nut under the bonnet and see if you can tighten it, never tried it that way though

anyone got both side by side that they can compare? its the fronts btw!

ive got this too, im running brand new engine mounts, bottom arms, track rods, track rod ends, dampers, top mounts, exhaust mounts lol the full lot, assumed it must be a driveshaft and I needed 2 gaitors anyway so I just replaced both shafts and still doing it, ive went over everything 10x and...

Cruise control now retro fitted and working :)

like the sound of this, I think ill order one. small engine turbo cars are brilliant, my twingo was quicker boosting about town than my 172 is!

few years since ive done it but from memory its either a 10 or 13mm on the adjuster under the car above the heatshield, ive never done it on a 182 so not sure if you need to drop the exhaust and move the heatshield etc, from memory on a 172 dropping the rear and middle exhaust mount gave a bit...

it connects the same way a clutch cable or bonnet release cable etc connects, you will see on the inside of the callipers there is an arm that comes out that activates the handbrake, the cable goes through this.

ive done it the way I described on a car running sportlines im sure! anyway axel stands gives better access was just a tip to save you a bit of time lol!! yeah it snaps at the bit it goes thru the rear calliper usually!

if your running standard suspension you can do it with 2 wheels on the kerb and 2 wheels on the road, lying under the car, first time you do it can be fiddly, after that its easy! sure theres a guide on here somewhere as danny said, replace both as the other one is always a few weeks away lol

I remember them saying that they dropped Xenons on the 200 due to them not being very popular, if im reading that right nearly 25% of 197's were specced with them, id have thought that was reasonably popular?!

mine is mega heavy but also very creaky, got a new clutch cable to fit first and see how that goes
