    Timing Belt Changed and now no Air Con??? Advice needed

    even if they had some how drained all the gas out it, the pump should still be engaging and causing noise/load, id imagine however im not sure how aircon systems work.

    stick a set of brembo HC discs on it, get them nice and cheaply from the guy on here that sells them, then if you feel flush a set of DS2500 pads but they are pretty expensive!

    More money than sense?

    Re: more money than sence??? potentially, be able to get a good idea by a good look at the tyres/brakes/ underside of the car etc. my gran probably does that sort of millage in 4yrs though but i wouldnt have her buying a brand new car lol

    not sure what the best way to do it would be on a mk3 as im not that clued up on whats all interchangeable (on a mk2 non RS id swap all the RS bits over and run widetrack but not sure what to do on these) or possibly just go custom brackets to fit the callipers and see if you can find a 4 stud...

    unbeleivably its the same front setup that was used on the williams back in the day, just shows how much the cars have grew in weight!! as i agree they are under braked, dont know why renault didnt fit the 280mm front setup from the 172/182. The Twingo RS has that setup! I was planning on...

    So you said it couldn't be done... 182 Bought!

    they should pull no problem nice and stronly to 7000rpm and can feel a little flat after that but you should be getting your kick of power at 5000rpm when it comes on cam and have a strong powerband until over 7000rpm. yeah gains are optimistic, to be honest out of all the main exhausts for...

    it passed the test this time!

    i found although it made peak power higher up, because it made peak torque just after 2000rpm it wasnt actually much quicker when doing 4k changes than it was just using the torque to shift you along, just used more fuel and made more noise haha! (granted it was quicker though, if i was really...

    my mate has an RS192 and had had 2 centre sections fail in less than a year. possibly just a dodgey batch though. they have been sorted out no problem under warranty though. its a bit of a nightmare to get it and keep it sitting straight too, but that appears to be an issue with most 182...
