This is two out on the front wheels isn't it..

That's what I said. Seems this place which is meant to be a huge tyre and wheel place near me don't know what they are doing. Dad's telling me there's three of them looking at the machine and not doing anything. Almost tempted to just take the car out. How hard can it be to get wheels...

Sorted. He searched the list for F4R and has selected it. So it was just the engine variant. I'm assuming the other abbreviations are for other models.

Dads taken the car to a place for its geometry. I've told them I want it all standard but with -2 degree camber on the front wheels. However the guy has come across a huge list of standard options for Mk2 Clios. He was asking me whether I knew if it was a setting for a D4D, D7D, D2E, K2F etc...

Thanks guys. Found that article in the guides section. Good little read that.

Ahhhh I see now. Thanks for clearing that up mate. I'm surprised to hear that even a twelfth of a degree out would make any difference actually. I will go by your advice and leave it for now then. I was just checking to make sure that it wasn't actually needed when camber is used on the...

Timing Belt Kit, Auxiliary Belt Kit & Dephaser Pulley at Engine Dynamics is £548

Engine Dynamics seem to offer a shed load of different services and all pretty reasonably priced.

And do I need it? Getting my geometry set up tomorrow. Planning on going for around -2 degrees camber with the camber bolts I've just fitted. I've heard a lot about toe out for the rear wheels. Most seem to go for 5 minutes. This means absolutely nothing to me lol. Can't get my head...

Looks nice that! I always thought Hammerite Metal Paint wouldn't stand up to the hot temperatures on the calipers.

That my friend, is absolutely prefect. Will print and just give it to my mechanic to save passing words on. Thanks a lot.

Wow they are expensive. Would rather going to MWM in stains. Only just a little bit further for me.. Although I say that, I don't even know what his prices are like yet..

Had a look on their site and couldn't find a definitive answer. Do you know how much they charge for a full belt change? How much did it cost you mate? Surely they can't be much more than 519 is Rob..

Sell it. Cut your losses. Get another car, maybe a 1.4 or even a 1.6 and wait until you can afford a 172 insurance.

Wow in that last picture it looks immaculate! Good work

Are these places reputable for a RS cambelt change? I've never come across them before personally but I'd be interested to know.

Looks lovely and low!

Thanks mate. I understand what you mean about it needed to be bent away from the damper(towards the front of the vehicle), think that's the position it comes in already anyway. But not sure what you mean about its position needing to be pointing towards the damper but not the wheel (towards...

Looked decent until I saw that vent. Looks tacky. My opinion of course.

Just a quicky. does the bent washer point towards or away from the damper?? Also what does the little, sleve/glove on the bolt do? Is it needed? Does it stay bolt-head side or nut side? Also thanks Kelv for confirming the top bolt hole on the damper is what's used! Cheers

Are Eibach Camber bolts a straight swap over from original bolts ?? Trying to find somewhere to get my geometry set up, AMD Essex said they might not be a straight replacement and extra parts might be needed. So I was asked to find out. Most places I've tried wont allow a manual camber or toe...

Looks great mate. Engine bay looks lovely

Why someone would ever bother doing all of that is beyond me

Cool thanks

Epic!

They look fantastic. How much does it cost to get the engine cover done like that? Do you send him your old one first?? Cheers

Car looks good. As said get yourself a splitter and cup spoiler, makes the car look so much better. Also, any more pics of the female assistant?

I used hub centric spacers on my old Audi. Personally I wouldn't use any other type if your going to use them. They bolt to the hub. Then you bolt the wheel too them. Simple. And in my opinion much much stronger/safer than using bolt through spacers. I drove my car hard and didn't have...

Not sure if I like the look of those BMs. Not that I like the Audi either though. But the BMW sound's fantastic in car on the track!!! Really surprised at how good it sounds, it's not synthesised is it?

Never heard of a 182 being referred to as ph3 before
