Ordered Febi Engine and gearbox mounts of eBay last night, total cost of £37. Then ordered the Powerflex dogbone and top mount inserts. I figured if there is too much vibration, I can always remove the top mount bush. Read something on how to setup the mounts to reduce vibration (or correctly...

What uprated mounts do you have? And how much more vibration is there.

That's the kind of setup I was considering to be honest. Didn't want anything too hardcore. What kind of price are the Febi mounts? Got a link? Thanks

I need to start thinking about replacing the mounts on my 182. I only bought the car last month, so i don't know how old the mounts are, but there is more movement than i'd like and the engine mount looks fairly worn. Now the car's got a RS2 installed, but has had the bonnet catch modified to...

Yep, I purposely ordered new spacers when i bought the disc and pads to replace them. I was 100% happy I'd put it all back together correctly, but this is making me question myself now. I changed the rear disc a couple of times on my old 182, so i've done the change 3 times now. The...

Yes, there is a long washer between the top and bottom bolt in place, I've just added the additional washer to the back of this.

So i changed the rear disc a couple weeks ago on my 182 with genuine disc and pads from Renault, also ordered new spacers and nuts from George. Everything has been fine and i've probably done 6-700 miles on them. Last night i nipped out for a drive to test out my new tyres, and as i was heading...

Well tyres were delivered yesterday, so went and got them fitted this morning. Torrential rain conditions, so not ideal. But grip levels were definitely better than the T1R's that got pulled off, So I'm happy with them so far. However I only really tested straight line acceleration and braking...

I've not done anything with it to be honest, the previous owner fitted it and said it was on the lowest stiffness setting. Guess if it's not normal, which I didn't think it would be, I'll have to investigate. Thanks

The 182 i bought last month, has one of these installed. I believe it is the 3.0 version. First thing in the morning when it's cold it feels great. However after a half hour drive to work it gradually gets stiffer and stiffer. Basically it's so stiff that i can push the gear stick over when in...

I found plenty of positive reviews and a few reviews similar to yours to be fair. But this seems to be the case with pretty much every tyre available. I don't tend to be too silly in the wet normally anyway. But if I think they're dangerous I'll be switching them for something more road...

Well i've decided to give them a try, ordered a full set of 4 in 205/45 ZR16 in 180 compound and XL sidewalls, for £280 delivered. Not a massive saving over the PS3 which i managed to find for £380 including fitting, so once the NS-2R are fitted maybe £60 in it. But I wanted to give these a try...

My brother has decided to sell his MX-5 for some reason, I think he's making a mistake personnally, but if anyone is interested it's up on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mazda-MX5-mk3-NC-/122034953873?hash=item1c69d99e91:g:FN4AAOSwbYZXeWxz Not the best ad in the world, but it's a nice genuine...

Did you find you had to drive any differently in the wet compared to a decent branded road tyre? Yeah, but these are roughly £100 more for a set of 4 tyres. I have considered getting a set, but money is a little tight at the minute and I probably shouldn't even be thinking about getting tyres...

Currently I've got T1R's on the car, and i'm not impressed with them, they were on the car when i bought it about 3-4 weeks ago. I'd like to spend around £75 per tyre ideally, so i've been eyeing the Nankang NS-2R up and looking through threads and reviews etc for a couple of days. Dry grip is...

I posted this is the wrong section the other day and haven't got a reply yet. So will try again here. Basically, i've had the 182 for about 3 - 4 weeks now, but over the last couple of weeks at least it's not been running right. I've had spluttering like the car isn't getting enough fuel had...

Only had the car for about 3 weeks now. But seem to have a problem with it splutting and cutting out that seems to be getting worse. Initially, i noticed it spluttering slightly when pulling away or speeding up, then returning to normal, this only lasted a second or two, and only happened a...

I wouldn't be going low, the coilover would be for performance over looks. I've emailed demon tweeks to see if they can supply 2 ET25 and 2 ET35.

It's only on sportline springs with cup dampers at the minute, But once any of that needs replacing i'll probably end up getting BC coilovers from Diamond Motors fitted. I wouldn't want to limit options in the future to be honest. I know ET35 will fit on the rear as i had 16inch 1.2's on my last...

I know, i know.... but i'm still being drawn. I'd hopefully be keeping the clio too, but the Audi would be for business use mainly. So more comfortable and professional looking, and i've got a suitable family car already, so it would just be me 99% of the time. Yep, quattro as standard in...
