just how high was it? I imagined it had to be too low and hitting the bump stops regularly thus causing that crashy feeling you were experiencing

maybe a pale gold, not willing to resemble the likes of williams or impreza gold alloys.

Just bought them but they look like they've been through a war, so will have to refurb them. The car is arctic blue, the current wheels are 16" ultraleggeras painted in gunmetal grey, so I want these painted a different colour but can't decide on it What do you think goes well with the blue?

The link I gave in the 1st post shows a dark blue non sport with white coloured ones. At the bottom half of the page

That brown gold yeah, in white though they're nicer. My opinion of course :)

yep, there they are! they look kinda cool, only thing that puts me off now is the weight and the 6,5J width. wanted smth with 7j to be able to fit 205's if needed without the tyre looking awkward

yup they do. maybe they're close to 8 kg a piece

forgot to mention, one other concern was heat build up when braking, the small holes in the rims theoretically aren't helping brake cooldown, so if anyone runs similar wheel design maybe they could give some feedback on heat performance. As for the looks I know there's a personal opinion...

Hi, Just found some 15" 6,5J renault 19 16v chamade alloys at a good price. I am looking for some 15" alloys for my winter tyres and my future trackday tyres aswell. They look like these: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/lets-see-your-wheels.715804/page-3 (There's a blue non sport at mid page...

bumping this old thread.. Can't see any of the OP's photos, was curious about the firment under 15" f1's And also (as I read all 7 pages but ended quite confused at the end) - after all is it possible to do a big brake upgrade -say 300mm discs and espace/scenic calipers- without machining parts...

Hi all, I have this squeak when shifting between 1st and 2nd gear, the rest are fine, you can see in the vid bellow. Any thoughts to cure this? thx!

Just went today and took both real caliper sliders apart, the right side was stuck, cleaned the sliders on both left and right calipers and applied TRW grease. Cleaned the pads and discs after, hope this will sort it

yeah I do but over 10 years of doing so with this car and it never looked like this

will check them but when I had the pads changed it all looked good

My rear brakes (discs especially) look quite bad, any ideas? pads still have plenty material in them, discs still have the required thickness

Is the hub hole issue easy to spot? no one saw anything so far :( But I'll definitely have a closer look at this, thanks! I can understand that solid mounts equals more sound but it's louder than expected though

they are all fine mate, as said, the car has been checked several times and nothing obvious was found except once- the caliper carier, but had that sorted and still the same. There is no loud noise coming from somewhere, it's just that on rougher surfaces you can hear tiny knocks coming from...

Hi guys, My 182 FF was always kinda noisy when it handled road bumps, even when completely stock. Now I have gaz gha coilies, k tec solid mounts and arb poly bushes, dog bone and k tec engine mounts so everything's pretty tight. I have the car cheched from underneath several times and only...

Hi there, I know that removing the shims is a popular habbit around here, I also had them removed, we all know the reasons why. But just watched a 30+ min vid on a mechanic's youtube channel in which he insisted that the shims if installed properly on nice an clean carriers, with grease used on...

Wow thx for the info on this!

Is there a b16 version available for the clio? didn't knew that! it doesn't appear on the bilstein site or anywhere else

As above really :smile: have mine for about 3 years and still love it!

Yeah it looks like it. I could find a part number in one pic written on the front shock: f4-vm3-f584-h1 did a search on it but found nothing!

Some guy is selling these and they are supposed to fit the clio MKII, but I never seen this kit from bilstein! you can see the front having some rebound adjustment!

on the rear if you have smth like ET35 wheels or the std ET45 with 10 mm spacers it will be enough I would say

The first time a guy who used to work at a renault dealer and had experience and the right tools, the second time a friend who has a garage but I did make sure he had the cam tools and also assisted him, looked like he did well. Both places outside UK so other details wouldn't help Totally...

I would put some oil on them if they feel dry to the hand. I use Motorex Foam filter oil

I went to a dyno test some time ago and the car came with 155 bhp @ the fly - which seemed rather poorly don't you think? It pulls well ( as far as I can tell) and keeps up (if not slightly ahead) with a 197 which made 184 bhp on the same dyno. The same day just before me another 182 did 151 bhp...

mine do the same on some of the wheels, can't remember if on the front or rear. Didn't bother to solve the problem although it annoys me :)) But I'd do it like this: Firstly I would get some alloy ones - it seems better this way but I may be wrong? Secondly the ones that stick to the hubs I...

if you'll encounter ice or snow I would definitely go for winter tyres. The difference in grip is MASSIVE, tried and tested Not worth putting your safety at risk tbh
