BBC3 rerun of an episode from few years back, Hammonds on about scrapping old cars and when theres a down the side shot of the mazda 323 in the garage, theres a LY 182 on the drive at the house opposite :)

Chrisgti6 Weo (from 197.net) Harpham Webby. Tom Coops Gray Dave88 - if he doesnt catch something too nasty at harveys tonight (dont rate his chances, groin itching will take place of the morrow, poor chap) Mark - lad i know whos just joined, minty fresh 172 phase 1

washed the fecker in the dark with me headtorch for illumination, streaky much? :)

I went there few years back, was just about on the money

One in Ripley as well, forget it's name.

Not get a walbro direct replacement one?that's what I have in my mk1 turbo, flows me 4.5 bar on full boost as I'm on a rising rate registered as well and slotted into standard sender unit.

minty mint boxed wheels = win!

Still own it, rb is just my daily ;)

ai great wheels, pic on my mk 1 from years back

1.2's? used to have them on the mk1 years back, great looking wheels and should set off the black on black well if thats the plan for yours

shibby, got to love boost

try some others chap, it'll be a revelation i bet ;)

safe to say if i get time to get mine on this weekend i will report back :)

it may be lack of experience on different suspension setups chap, no offence meant, but i have run a hell of a lot of different springs, coilovers, shockers on a hell of a lot of different clios over the years and of the lot, the apex were by far the worst. dont get me wrong, they went round...

as above, cooksport are offering the springs on an ongoing basis i believe, i think its just the group but for 15 sets at a discount which they setup to generate interest that your on about. retail is 120 plus delivery

as said mate, my coilies are a hell of a lot more forgiving than the apex from my experience

eibachs are rated for the handling, apex do sit nicer but ride crap, cooksports are as yet pretty new so untested on the wider public, i have a set to try in the shed :)

k's is on apex mate as he said in first post i had apex on my old 172 and found them absolutely atrociously bad ride, my coilovers (cheap ktecs) are less harsh!lol! this is my FF on coilies and on 15's instead of the 16's like above

And I have too!lol :)

Re: ArcticClio182...progress.. i'll give you that, my 172 did look the part on them, but I just couldn't cope with the ride quality, literally anything other than a totally smooth A road was a nightmare, all B road blasting fun was just a no no :(

tbh a lot of other road users consider Clio's to be chav-mobiles, and I'm sort of with them, I embrace my tw*t chariots with aplomb and couldn't give a monkeys what anyone thinks, but that's just me :)

Re: ArcticClio182...progress.. oh god not apex!!! terrible terrible springs, crashy as hell and ruined the ride on my 172 :( very nice looking car though, lovely clean example :)

as above, they are a genuine Renault part, about 50 quid from the dealers iirc, but I bought these 'second hand' but completely unused with receipt :)

I have also been collecting parts for more improvements to the car, I am currently in two minds as to suspension choices as well. the car currently runs on KTEC coilovers, which i kind of think are okay, not great, but decent enough for lows and daily road use, but i want to try some other...

that will look epic on the ronals if you get coilovers, i like it alot like that as its a bit different :)

another change of wheels, love child car arrives ;)

Dude, nice to see you made it :) get some pics up of the 172 chap as shes a minter.
