Doing a guide would get you much loving on here mate ;)

Anyone know how much a new one costs from Renault? I'm assuming the pre and post cat are exactly the same?

Think it is staying now, I'll get used to it!! Scared a few kids when I've blipped on downshifts ;) Whitely, can't make the RR day, going to Amsterdam with the lads on Sunday!!

Thanks Mark, looks good. I'll be going down there to get them set up once I have had them on for a bit and decided on whether I need stiffer springs or not!!

I had the rear seats down on the way home and parcel shelf out to fir the exhaust and AST's in the boot, so i'm hoping now they are up and in place again it won't be so bad. Part of me is tempted to Dynamat the boot floor!!

Just rang Curtis, confirmed what I thought! Can anyone who has these advise me how low I can go? Want to get the height about spot on before i put them on the car, how much thread should be left on the front and the back running it pretty low? Also, can anyone recommend any damping settings...

I'm a bit confused about fitting the suspension.... Do the bearings etc go on top of this assembly: Then this comes through the turret and this top plate holds it in: Surely something else more substantial holds them in place that just the 3 adjustment allen bolts?

Catch up over the weekend or something? Vids and pics will come at some point, sits really low though, brand new mounts and they have been packed up, cant get it any better.

Can do, Gray is nipping over in about 50 minutes to have a perv! Just picked up some AST's as well Dave ;)

^ I might do Dave! It's quieter over 4krpm, and does sound awesome! Covers up the rattles though, 1 job sorted!

Hmm, earplugs it is then! Drove back for 2 hours from Birchdown via picking some new toys up and my ears are literally bleeding....!

s**t! Didnt think it would be this loud! Anyway to quieten it down without taking off the decat. the standard one scrapes everywhere so want to leave it off really....

Yozza is loud, mine will be decatted too, but I'll keep earplugs in the car!! I love the outward rolled tips too!

Yozza in my oinion, bought one a few days ago and getting it fitted this morning. Apparently the millteks crack welds a lot and don't sit right etc, generally not excellent quality. However the yozza has excellent feedback from everyone, and looks very well made.

^ thats what I meant, but you explained it better!

Might be best checking that then, as its easy to miss it and I did! Get someone to sit in the car and turn the wheel while you check under the bonnet, might be something obvious.

No way is it lying, in the summer I easily got 36mpg on very short journeys to work. Reading about 22mpg at the minute as i leave it running for 5 minutes in the morning to warm up/de-ice!! Could be the brakes sticking a bit, maybe do a few high speed hard braking tests, might free it up a...

Looks to me like the top cup on the strut (on the underside of the car) isnt seated properly. I had a similar problem albeit with the standard top mount when i fitted mine, then noticed what I had done. The black cup in that holds the upper spring in place, the hole down the centre needs to...

If removing the strut completely then yes, as it is basically the same as fitting new ones.

I wouldnt have thought so provided you dont adjust the hub bolts on the bottom of the shocks. Do you mean literally just the top cup and nut that is inside the engine bay, or all of the bearing etc that goes on the underside of the turret on top of the coilover?

Cheers for the replies Icarus, not tried that, I've been trying to go steady on them to be honest but I'll do it tonight and try to clean them up. Fitted them myself but I did note the mileage. Not that it matters. I'm running redstuff front pads so I do need to get rid of them...

I think it will just be luck at how much needs removing/how warped they are.

Got some nearly new (2k mile old) brembo MAX grooved discs on the car, and I've managed to warp them. 90% sure thats what the problem is, and I know I know I'm an idiot etc, got caught in some traffic after a blast and couldnt help it much at the time. Anyways, is it worth getting them skimmed...

ps, clay my car..

If you have the reciepts for the services then thats just as good as stamps, will have the reg, mileage and dates on surely? Just make a few photocopies to make sure you will always have the records of them and job done. You could buy it and then p/x with my car....;)

I ran that chkdsk but nothing happened :S Re-installed windows but then it wouldnt connect to my wireless network, the internal thingy wouldnt detect it. Took it to my local computer place, he's gonna fix it and install a new antivirus thing for me, hopefully won't be too much, I could really...

I want the 182 doing, £900 isn't too bad really.

I'm 99% sure this was the one i was interested in 6 months ago, im sure i recognise the reg. I was interested until i saw the pics though, looked like it had been raped by an 18 wheeler, stickers, chav LED's etc, some w**k wolfrace wheels. But looks tidy enough now, just go over it with a...

Thanks for the info mate, any chance you might be able to grab some pictures once it's done. I'll have aftermarket seats, but want to run a harness to the drivers just for track. Never thought about the rubbing on the handbrake, would be better on the drivers subframe.
