you can install any rear shock, but if you go with cup shocks I would change the fronts to cup also

Hi there, After about three years two of my GAZ shocks (GHA kit) started to leak. I'm undecided wether to go for bilstein b14 or refurb the GAZ units as I'm quite tight on a budget right now. I know that billies have a very good reputation but also heard of them being problematic after couple of...

toe out in the summer, toe in in ithe winter then ^ :D

Same here, I'm running 1,5 neg degrees of camber for some years now without any visible tyre wear. I'd check the alignment first of all. Also, why throw away the camber bolts? what if one of the front dampers is slightly missaligned? you will get different values using standard bolts. Better...

any details? owner of the car a member here?

looks like a meggy/scenic splitter to me

very few rs clios around here to go searching for a used screen :( I know there are few other good brands that make compatible windscreens with auto-lights/wipers compatibility as well, just don't know what brand to choose

I found a circular crack on top of the windscreen near the mirror, and plan to get a replacement soon Is the OE screen worth the 300+ quid I was asked for or should I get an aftermarket one at half price? If so what aftermarket brands do you recommend? Thx!

there is a guide on this written by myself somewhere, do a search

there were another runs with the bonnet closed, as the one printed. will test versus the standard airbox as soon as I'll get my hands on my old one (it's at my folks 150miles away) This test was made just out of curiosity and because we had 3 different setups to play with. Honestly I'm...

finally got out again and the results were a bit unexpected: The BMC CDA setup is pretty good actually as I didn't gained any from fitting the diy kit beside noise. Anyway will sell the BMC to get some profit. Still the diy k-tec style remains the best value/money/power gain kit over anthing...

I had the HElLIX organic kit bought from k-tec, but due to some other problems I had to change it after 30k. But it felt nice, obviously not that user friendly in trafic but I got used to it and loved it. Coupled with full engine mount upgrade and poly pushed dogbone it really sharpens things up.

update: the silver 182 went on the dyno today and it pulled out 6 bhp more vs the old Green intake setup: The blue car also received the same intake couple of days ago. Now we're gonna repeat the road test to see if I also gained over my old (BMC CDA) setup and then probably another dyno run...

just make your own k-tec style induction, it will gain you something over your current setup (I tested that with a friend)

the green filter looked dirty but it was actually recently cleaned and oiled the proper way. I guess that after a while they loose their fresh look

After years of reading various opinions on wether an IK is worth doing I finally got the chance of testing 2 setups on 2 cars specs of the above car: november 2004 clio 182 engine was changed one year ago with a new one and the current unit has abou 6k std suspension custom 63mm cat back...

looking forward to hear the result!

hey where are the pics in post #1? :( made me curious about the setup!

I really don't understand why the std setup is said to deliver the best output. Ok if compared to a cheap open cone setup behind the rad it' obvious that the std setup is getting colder air into the engine. But take the K-tec setup for example. It has a good quality foam filter positioned in the...

I written those as I found them around here. So 275 lbs/in is about 5kg/mm-front 250 lbs/in is approx 4,5kg/mm-rear as for the renault quotes: 3,19 daNM/mm is about 3,25kg/mm-front 5,65 daNM/mm is about 5,7kg/mm-rear So this is where thigs go blurry, cup rear springs being WAY stiffer that Gaz...

I understand how the suspension works, but what I don't is why Gaz for example gave their spring rates in one manner and renault in a different manner. I was curious how stiffer are the gaz springs compared to std cup springs and can't tell from what I've found so far As I said, GAZ springs are...

can't find the damn thing! I'm set up to solve this mistery once and for all ha ha! will take measurements on my car and then hopefully some others will and clear this up. over 10 years of "cup history" and there's still a lot of debate on this

I remember renault said something about the track width on 182 cup suspension, if the hubs are the same and the wheels are still ET45 (on a 182 cup or cup pack) then the cup 182 suspension has the same track as a normal 182?

so it gains track width from the subframe, and also from the wheels which are ET 38. The hubs from a 182 cup have about the same width so doing the math the 172 has the wider track. I'm a bit surprised as to why renault would make the newer 182 narrower?!

independent shock and spring, like standard

so the 172 cup has a wider subframe, that means that the front track is wider than a 182 cup?

bump on this I found this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?440438-Spring-Rates-Standard-vs-Aftermarket/page2&highlight=cup+spring+rate and based on it the rears should be way stiffer than the fronts because of the rear beam construction. The gaz ones are 275 lbs/in front and...

He has a 182 full fat (so both cup packs), or you are talking about the 172 cup subframe which is supposed to be wider than a 182 cup subframe?

if you're about to do the belts and dephaser than yes, do it.

sweet engine bay that is^
