i'd do the above, set the timing right if you suspect its out before you do anything else. do not comp test it with a loose belt, don't even turn it over with a loose belt. get that sorted then investigate the compression
I've never used spring compressors on standard cup springs, just push down on the top cap with minimal force until the nut is free and undo. done.............ime!
the prolines will sit very slightly lower than standard, sportlines are more comparable to cooksports in terms of ride height so I...
ah right, the question confused me, I thought you meant was the car still on the go which it obviously is from the spotted, so I guess you mean is the project thread still on the go?!
oh I know the reasoning chap, its just a drop in the ocean on something like a track car, I've had a short shift on the turbo for 7 years and its not that that's blowing the boxes, believe me!lol!
for track orientated cars there is a hell of a lot more strain on the box for other reasons, I don't think a short shift will make a jot of difference to the longevity of the box
ai I know, its terrible for performance but winter bwarp is a giggle :) and tbh (goes to whisper) 182's are a bit slow anyway aren't they ;)
and no, its my car, stop trying to steal it ;) although knowing me I'll do the major service next year, re-spray the front end then think, mmmm done, time...

I think the plans you have will be fine for modest improvement matey, matched inlets and a remap should see it drive nicely :)

I think the only one people actually rate is the cold air fed ITG maxogen, which is a box with a filter in it and some pipes going to it...........kinda similar to the standard don't you think ;)
so cash is usually better spent elsewhere!
not updated this for a bit, the misfire was another dicky injector, so grabbed another out the bucket in the shed and sorted
I have since fitted standard exhaust and sold the Janspeed..........then swapped the standard for an RS192 which is on now
I have also boshed a CDA BMC on it for a...
I have a one on the mk1, works great, make sure you get the one with the 2 components, one that fits to the box itself and on for the lever in the car. for the full speedy gearchange experience :)
no idea on extra wear from that specifically, my gearboxes usually go bang anyway, lol!
Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt
welcome and wouldn't bother with I/k, get a decent panel filter and pop the RS tuner 98ron map on or if your anywhere near Leeds go see Paul@RStuning
140 for a snappy including return post, on top of that you have to pay to send your wheel and there is a 45 returnable deposit upon you sending your old wheel back.
i'm going guess they may scrub a little on the rears, I have 10mm rear spacers, 7 j and et37 on that profile tyre (so no stretch) and it rubs on the back a bit over big bumps on cooksports
