    15's are fine. I've got pro race 1.2's, seem to hold up ok when curb hoping.

    Uprated / modified exhaust mounts

    I'd turn that through 90 degrees so the cut out is doing its job.

    how often do you "heel and toe"?

    I made an extended throttle pedal, its easy to adjust the height too with a couple of washers between the bulkhead and pedal unit.

    brakes not working

    I got air in my ABS pump when changing my lines, took forever to get out (and I still dont think its all out, rubbish pedal) Just keep running fluid through. I had to bleed untill I got a decent pedal then fire off the ABS then re-bleed.

    how often do you "heel and toe"?

    I only heel and toe on trackdays and when out on a hoon. Normal driving I might have a cheeky rev match now and then but its not often necessary. I once tried left foot braking, my head couldn't understand that it wasn't the clutch so I just kept pressing harder untill it stalled :o

    Good quality thermostats

    My car seems to be eating stats at the moment. When I bought it it needed a new one, that lasted nearly a year. The one I replaced that with has only lasted a couple of months. First one was from a local factors, second from euro car parts. Is getting one from renault the best option? How...

    Running on E85 (Bioethanol Blend)

    We ran both our formula student cars on E85 with no mods. We did look into all the problems with seals etc but for the short time the cars were used for it was fine. I woudn't bother with the clio, is it even any cheaper? We had to go 30 miles to get ours.

    Top mount question... this doesn't look right does it? (photo included)

    Thats fine, gap looks a bit bigger than normal, like its got the washers in that stop the top mount knocking. If the gap wasn't there you wouldnt be able to steer! If you want to be sure try to tighten the upper rubber.

    Is this any good ?

    I've got the liftmaster one in the first link, its fine. The only problem is although the lifting pad is very low its not long enough to reach to the box section under the car. Its ok with sportlines because the whole jack can fit under the car but any lower and its not going to work.

    Fitting Skoda Splitter

    Re: Noob Question Hold it on with masking tape, drill small hole, put in self tapper. It can be hard to get the car high enough to get a drill underneath, if i was doing it again I would take the bumper off, only takes 5 mins.

    182 trophy exhaust setup

    What exactly has happened to it? I thought mine had rusted through but it was just the cups on the fitting kit. It was around £570 for a new manifold when I enquired in 2009.

    Painting the grills

    Ive thought this too, mines got a blue tint to it, back and black and similar makes no difference.

    Terrible bump steer!!

    Not at all. Its how i've set up all the race cars ive worked on, although it should be done on a flat patch.

    rstuner help

    If its an rst with launch control then just use that, its already got the cal on it. If your using an rst without launch control then write a cal too.

    who uses a battery impact gun ?

    Ive got a 24v Clarke one, was about £95 from machine mart. I only use it for wheels so didnt need a mega torque expensive one, as long as it undoes wheel nuts and doesnt fall apart im happy.

    Clio 182 Axel Stand Points For Front End

    When you look underneath you will see a bit of box section running towards the rear of the car on either side.

    Front Strut Fitting Problem

    Have you got both sides of the car jacked? If not the anti-roll bar will be pushing the wishbone up making it very difficult.

    Rear Bench Removal (Quick Question)

    Under the plastic is the isofix bar. IIRC thats 2 bolts, these bolts stick out the bottom of the car and so will be very rusty and hard to remove. Once there out there is one (torx) bolt, then you slide the seats backwards, you'll see what I mean when you get the isofix bar out. Get under the...

    tow hook thread

    The thread will be rusty and full of crap. I got a toothbrush and WD40 down mine to clean it up, you will still need a bar through the ring though. Its good its tight, stops it being nicked!

    Cruise Control - small issue

    Indeed, the cruise control sets to an acutal speed (very close to gps speed) not the speedo indicated speed.

    Widen Rear Track, how will it effect handling?

    What? :S A wider track will reduce lateral load transfer across that axle, giving more grip. In this case it will increase rear grip. If anyone wants to read into this then "Racecar vehicle dynamics" can be downloaded from "sources"

    182 and 1.4 16V exhaust, waht's the difference ?

    Decent in car Cam; trackday?

    I got that for about £10 a while ago, I used it for a bit but it just wasn't stable enough for be, missing frames, files corupting etc. I just use a proper miniDV camcorder now.

    People with track orientated cars, look here!

    Whats the car going to be used for? If its going to be raced its going to need proper roll cage padding, not pipe insulation! For the wires use rivnuts and p-clips.
