Fixed the horrible creak last week and it hasn't returned. I've used the clio all month and it even managed a 70 mile round trip to The Motorist last weekend to meet @Pedrosanpb and it's behaved prefect. I had my son turn the steering while I had a listen and a feel under the car to locate the...
It is a cracking game and I did prefer it to 2077. I didn't really figure out the whole potion stuff which probably didn't help when I got stuck in a boss fight I couldn't win and didn't have a save outside of it! That was game over for me, although that was in the blood and wine dlc so I'd put...
I spotted 2 Scirocco's yesterday. One was in mint condition and cool as f**k, just like this.
The other was the new shape and had ROCCO across the sun strip 🤦. Legends should not be treated this way 😆.
Replacing the manifold isn't an easy job. If you don't want to spend big bucks on it go to an exhaust place and ask about new flexis fitting. If you're in it for the long haul and are willing to splash the cash get a pure motorsport manifold fitted.
Nice to meet you too mate and it's good to see those parts going onto a nice standard'ish 182. Ktec used to do the front lip but it's mega money so most fitted a Skoda fabia splitter. Search on here for the part number although the fabia part may be nla now too.
A smaller rolling radius will increase acceleration, use a comparison site to see the difference.

For wheel and caliper clearance you're probably going to have to test fit and see.
I potted an S reg 200sx on the A1 today. It's been ages since I saw one of those, my mate had one when we were doing our apprenticeship in the early nineties 😳.
Also saw a Meg 250 but nobody cares about Renaults 😂.
That was when I was young, car was a 93 and I bought it in 97. I had Walkers tune it so it had 238bhp at the wheels. Doing a tank of 4* a week Just to work and back (8 miles 😂) so I don't want to imagine how expensive one is to run these days.
@MrBlonde is toying with selling his 182.
I actually saw a pair of mine for sale recently and they've held up very well considering I made them in 2019 😯.
Just realised they are the aluminium ones too!
Yep they do look cool. What wheels are you running @Rob7655 ? Disc size won't make much difference with standard 182 wheels. Unfortunately I don't have a decent pic of mine with the Turini's on.
No. The pms brackets don't remove any material off the face as the bracket fits into the counterbore machined into the caliper. It's all to do with thread depth on the bracket, some noobs on Facebook made some that sit on the caliper face and the bolt screws into the bracket but you only had 5mm...
You'd need to space them out 10mm and the bores are only 11 deep so you could only do it with a big washer and then location is by the bolt and it's still sat on what's left ot the caliper mounting face.
Best thing to do is stick with 280 discs or sell the calipers and brackets and buy new for...
So your calipers would have been machined like this to fit the brackets.
Every other 280 kit the caliper mounting face is just machined down by 5mm but now you've not got much flat face to bolt the 300 brackets to.
This is the face -5mm.
And the bracket on.
And these are brackets for 300mm...
