maybe but before buying a new one make sure the motor is dead!

=))

what tyres are you on? (dimensions) 195/40 r 17 for example are smaller in diameter than 205/45 r16 so I don't see why they should rub on the arches

in my case cleaning wasn't the issue, everything was super clean out there, the trick is to slice about 0,5 mm at each end of the rubber cylinder, this way it will move side to side freely somehow.. it worked 2 times already

After having some problems with one of the two and payed around 60 quid to change it I finally sort out what was wrong with it. Basically you could hear it whine but no liquid came out.. To fix the damn thing you have to remove it and take it apart If someone experiences problems ring a bell...

was a week ago with my 182 at a renault dealer to fit my rear shocks and a 197 was there on the elevator with the front wheels removed.. I got a chance to study it's suspension, the brembo's closely and what can I say.. It definitely moved forward from the 1*2, the suspension design, the huge...

mine is the same, but for sure it came out like this from the factory, I've just installed a brand new ARB and the old one was fine in the area which could have been in contact with the manifold.

you guys are lucky, mine squeaks inside the box, the cable and everything else is lubed :(

the fork is rubbing on the release bearing, this is what I've seen when changed the clutch recently. the mechanic greased the contact area with copper based grease and guess what: problem solved and guess again: it came back 2 days later. what bothers me is how on earth a friend of mine's 172...

mine doesn't! it bites about half way down also having a problem: with the engine running and the car standing, pressing and holding down the clutch while engaging 1st gear and revin' to above 5000 the car tends to pull away slightly. after that it smells like burned clutch obviously.. I would...

went in the car and sat there for 15 minutes and couldn't see that damn thing! help!

k-tec are offering OE ones, go check it out

also having problems with the gearbox myself. 1-big crunches when changing fast at high revs from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd 2-standing still, engaging 1st gear and while holding down the clutch and revin' the engine above 5k the car pulls slightly ahead and then it smells like burned clutch...

maybe the 172 has some lower springs and the owner isn't aware of this, since he recently bought the car

mine was about 20 liters when taking the measurements, but the other guy had about 10 only

I fitted the k-tec solid ones and it definitely cured the noise, the turn in seems to be sharper, also have the impression it cured a little bit the understeer. a good upgrade and they look good

182 anthracite wheels are about 9,6-9,8 kilos, can't remember exactly but for sure they're not lighter than 9,6. the speedlines turini are about 8,8 kgs each. so if you want some significant weight reduction go for ultraleggeras (16"- 6,6 kg)

that I don't know but it looks like stock to me, anyway that is just one of the 182's I've been looking at and they all appear to be the same. any chance I could find some factory specs regarding this?

:( check this one out though: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=422742&highlight=182+pics first picture upper left corner. it looks lower than mine and not so down forward, I may be paranoid now but that is what I see :(

can you take a measure? pls pls :D

My car is 45k at the moment, his is about 53k, so could this difference add that much wear to the springs? wheel size wise the difference is about 5mm i (overall diameter) yes he has a spare wheel but can this drop his back 3-4 cm down? :-/ i've checked some pics of other 182's and they appear...

I've met a guy today and his 172 is a lot lower in the back, the front is the same as mine as you can see in the pics. he says his car is on stock suspension and mine is also, so how come mine is so high?? I've measured mine in front directly under the front splitter and it is 14 cm off the...

some pics taken a few days ago:

can you detail this procedure once again? I tried this and it seems that I did it the wrong way.. I'm also having the loose pedal thing and the clutch won't disengage properly, it has a low biting point and if I hold it in 1st gear, standing still with the clutch pedal to the floor and...

bump.. anybody? :(

I've been driving with the K-tec ones for 10 days now and this is how they work: the horrible full lock knocking is now history It seems like I have much less understeer than before, also fitted Hankook RS-2 on the front at the same time with the mounts, and maybe the increased front grip comes...

the cup pack comes with stiffer anti roll bar and this means it's also thicker. I also have the anti roll bar bushes fitted and they are : 25 mm inner ones 23 mm outer ones enjoy the ride :)

I fitted both KTR engine mounts plus the dog bone poly bush and boy they are rock solid! at the same time the helix organic clutch went in and the car felt really different in the first couple of days, now I'm starting to get used to it (the idle vibration also :D) and I like it before this mod...

the 182 blows gases directly towards the rear (instead downwards like the 172) and because of the turbulence in the back, the vapors end up on your glass. The same thing happens when driving on a damp road at high speeds and the rear window gets sprayed with drops of water, common thing for all...

So here's my problem.. couple of days ago I fitted the Helix organic clutch kit, as I had some problems with the original (car is 45k now): 1. there was the obvious crunch and squeak that we all know about 2. car standing still, engine running, pressing the clutch, engaging 1st gear and while...
