mine have all been fine bar the silly modified one, the standard williams'172's/182's have all been great and only expenditure bar servicing etc has been small mods, never repairs really.

as above, all covered in that thread

I don't understand people who say 'do nothing' or 'whats the point buy a sport' perhaps cutting your teeth in the modifying world when you've just bought your first car isn't something you people approve of, but to me it was exciting pimping up my first little clio, and I had it for 4 years...

I just ran an insurance quote on one out of interest, its come in at 20 quid LESS than the 182!!! feck it i'm buying one!

I have 15mm per side fronts and 10mm per side rears. they are fine on the standard ET43 cup wheels, but on the ET37 Williams 15's they scrub on bouncy bumps! no camber though on mine, they are standard hub type spacers, not the bolt behind shims

mine on cooksports and 15" Willy wheels and then 16" standards: IMG_6985 by Coops_Turbo, on Flickr

theres not much difference in rolling radius from a 205/45 R16 to a 195/50 R15 tyre (most popular fit on each rim size usually) so there little difference from that perspective in terms of outright acceleration performance however, the lighter 15's will reduce unsprung weight which should...

I believe they have that built in, if not god knows where it is as theres nothing else around them on the front of the car

correct, your a veritable linguistic gymnast good sir

good stuff :) an no one is ever let out with the age card, doesn't stop some truly god awful mods, middle aged bloke round my way with a R33 Skyline GTS-T is testament to that

happy to help :)

earths?

really? I thought the xenon ones were light tbh, not much more than a couple of kg each max, so I doubt just a ballast, bulb and optic will way that much more and certainly not a kilo...surely??!lol! I am used to heavy ass glass mk1 headlights tho so its a surprise to me anyway how light the...

still shouldn't hit, perhaps its hanging too high? maybe the hangars on the exhaust itself aren't quite right? is there any adjustment on them at all? or solid welded? I wouldn't chop the bumper, the trims wont fit right then and it'll look a dogs dick

congrats and enjoy please don't chop holes in things to fit garish speakers, keep it subtle ;)

that comment wasn't aimed at the 1kg difference, it was aimed at the original 10kg comment ;)

i'm interested in this thread as well, doesn't seem to be 'general consensus' though on whats best? all sorts of stuff being bandied about. upto now I've just used copper grease, duct tape and zip ties and does a reasonable job but not ideal

as above, matt brown is the go to normally

nowhere near that, I ripped xenon ones out the car i'm breaking recently and they weighted pretty much sweet FA

flol

best part is, the mk1's did this and Renault must of known by the time the mk2 design was finalised, and they did the square root of sweet f**k all about it! lol!

its in the middle of the scuttle the main one, there are two smaller ones each side to the inner wings. if you clear the main central one, the problems should go away

nice work chap :)

If the combo with the cooks is causing other issues such as the reported clicking and clunking I suspect it's misloading the mount/bearing somehow and as such putting un uniform load through the shocker. I presume that could kipper a shocker fairly quickly

dude, this thread has cropped up more than once saying that cooksports, standard shockers and solid top mounts don't mix well and cause issues. more than likely the combo is killing the shocks? you have pures correct?

as in the pic, the bump stop and dust cover are one part and simply slip over the shaft of the shocker...........similar to how you learnt it in GCSE sex ed ;)

could be, if you've hit the stops of the shockers rather than the bumpstop as its not there it would probably of damaged the shockers, thus leading to them wearing quickly

it'd be my first port of call, I had issues with my Leda coilovers on the mk1 with AST solid top mounts, standard rubbers they were fine, with the ASTs they rattled and squeaked all over FK's were fine on the AST weird! lol!

tin worm mate tbh, that's the biggest killer, well peoples lack of willingness to fix said worm issues anyway

is it just me or do fingers seem to be pointing in the wrong direction here?? most with issues have solid top mounts it seems??
