You need an 8mm spanner for them . But they're the M7 x 1.00 nipples , that's for the HEL ones .
These are the ones I bought , but it looks like they're out of stock at the moment ...
You want the 7mm bleed nipples , like these . They're a little bit longer than the original bleed nipples and fit both front and rear calipers

Or you could just get 2 new exhaust hangers and fill in the gaps with heat resistant sealant , making it alot more solid . This is what i did and its been spot on . There's still some flex so the exhaust can move . If you do it this way , I suggest putting a couple of cable ties through the...
Welcome to Cliosport . Looks like you've got yourself a tidy example . Turinis have been done to death . Personally I prefer the original 182 wheels they suit the car well and for some reason seem to look bigger than other 16 inch wheels . Enjoy it mate :-)
I think we've established there is more than one way to fit the splitter to achieve the desired results :wink: Whichever method is used , it's a good , cheap fix for the many broken Renault splitters that cost a small fortune. And in my opinion it looks just as good as the original :smile:
That's what I did too . Line up the middle and fixed in place with some tape to hold it in place , then i drilled some small pilot holes through the spliiter into the bumper about 1.5mm then used self tappers . Cut off the ends flush with a stanley knife .
I bet that can be fixed easily with a smart repair . I had a cigarette burn repaired in my old 172's seat with a guy who specialised in smart repairs . It cost me £30 and was completely invisible when he'd finished .
I couldn't say to be honest about the KTR . All I know from what I've read on here over the years is that the Yozza is probably one of the loudest , too loud for some so they've sold them . In my opinion they're not too bad , they are louder with a decat , but I took my decat off for the MOT and...
They do come up for sale from time to time . You could always message Fred@BTM , he was the supplier of the original Yozza exhausts and also sells the BTM exhausts which supercede the Yozzas .

Yozza exhausts are loud anyway , probably one of the loudest , especially if you decat it . I can't imagine it getting much quieter if at all if you turbo your car . Why not just wait and see how your Scorpion exhaust is after you turbo your car .
Lots on ebay . Be aware , they might say " genuine " , but some of the adverts are cleverly worded . Yes they are " genuine " mist jets , but not always oem parts so can't vouch for the quality . I can't remember who I bought mine off , but they've been spot on , much better than the Renault...
The driving position is a little strange at first . When I got my first 172 I felt like I was sitting so high up . I'm 6'1" , so have the seat as far back as it will go with the seat raised to its highest position , perfect for my reach to the pedals , steering wheel and gear stick , although...
You've got it bolted back on , without the pads in is what you're saying ?There isn't much room to play with . You need to wind the piston right back into the caliper . It will actually go further in than the rubber dust boot . There's a guide here , but it's slightly wrong . There's no need to...
Take the pads out again , then bolt the pad carrier on . Make sure the piston is wound in enough to put the pads back in , clockwise direction . Use a screwdriver or small some square bar . Also make sure the piston is lined up properly so the notch lines up with the with the bit on the back of...
Sounds like someones removed the acoutsic valve down in the offside wheel arch . The vacuum pipe / nipple should have been blanked off . That'll be why your idle is rough , probably running high . Blank off the nipple and see if it makes any difference . 1*2's do run rough at idle anyway , and...
Sorry to be a party pooper in your thread . I'm just not a fan , the shape of the car does nothing for me . I'm sure It's a lovely car to drive as all the previous RS models have been . It just doesn't have that WOW factor for me . It'd be a boring world though if we all liked the sames things...
I have the 5000k xenon bulbs from HIDS direct . I think they are whiter( with no hint of blue) than the oem 4300k bulbs and light up the road better too.
You can probably buy cheaper , silver bulbs . Not sure if they'll last though . I've had miy Philips Silvervisions for about 8 years and they're still going good .
These are proper Philips silver visions , not cheapo copies

To the OP . With the decat , it is pretty loud and I've had passengers moan about how loud it was . With the Cat fitted it is still quite loud but not unbearable , not for me anyway , but pedestrians still look when I drive past . If you want to quieten it down substantially , fitting the Cat...
