I had a k+n apollo on my 182 . I was keen on it tbh , it seemed to lose power and no 5k kick anymore . Bought it cheap off ebay , sold it again on ebay for more than i paid so it was all good . On the plus side , they sound good as in aliasomega's video . 0-60 in 8 seconds though ?? :eek: ;)

I had toyo t1-r's and t1-s's on my 172 . Never again . Terrible in the wet .

Yeah they are . Are you sure the pads and discs need changing on the 172 cup you've looked at ? The rear pads are only 11mm new including the backing plate , 4.6mm minimum thickness . The rear discs are 8mm new and 7mm minimum thickness . Also they have the bearings already pressed in and the...

Standard discs and pads on the rear are fine . Try yozzasport . http://www.yozzasport.co.uk/store/products.php?cat=10

The lower the offset i.e ET37 the further out the wheels stick , so would catch on the outside of the wheel arch on a 182 as it has a wider track than the 172 afaik .

Nice pics mate .

Different offset . Iirc the 172 wheels are ET37 and the 182 wheels are ET45 meaning the 172 wheel sticks out further and would catch the wheel arch.

I'm sure i saw someone say they paid £13 from a dealer .

Same for me Silkolene Pro S 5W-40 .There's a special offer on at the moment . http://www.opieoils.co.uk/

Looks like a completely different shape to the ones on the 1*2's , might be just the angle of the pic though .

17/18 bhp would be very optimistic on a standard car . Your more likely to see those sort of gains after you've fitted a decent exhaust , decat , air filter and had the inlet manifold reworked then remapped imo .

Could be the new tyre ( nearside ) has more grip therefore pushing the car to the right .

I've just come back from Poland where i hired a fiat panda . The brakes were so sharp , needed little effort on the pedal and from high speeds they stopped effortlessly with alot of confidence . Also hired a pug 107 a few weeks back and the brakes on that were hell of alot better than my 182's...

By bleeding i mean't changing the fluid . I wouldn't wait 4 years , lol . 12 months tops for me especially if you do average mileage of around 10 -12k a year . Any dot 4 will be sufficient . Castrol response is good stuff .

You don't need the key in the ignition , even though the manual tells you you do . Just turn your lights on / off / on / off quickly to activate or deactivate the auto lights . As said , you'll hear it beep .

^^^ Knowsit . When , on the odd occasion we get snow you see all the cars on skinny 165's and less cruise through the snow , wider tyres is the wrong way to go . Like jamie williams says . Same tyres as you use all year round , we don't exactly live in a country that warrants winter tyres .

If your brake fluids quite low , either you have a leak , your discs could be worn or your brake pads are getting low . I'd be inclined to think the latter . You can top it up but after checking your pads / discs i'd do a full bleed like legohead says .

Looks good mate . Glad to see you finally found some paint that matched . Did you end up doing it yourself or a body shop ?

Or the 5k kick ;) :quiet:

What bigiain means is , the leather/ alcantara are just seat covers .

White wheels look good when clean . If you went for white you'd be cleaning them every other day .

I used these guys to do a smart repair on a fag burn on my alcantara . Cost me £40 to repair the hole and recolur the leather on the bolster . The hole was invisble after it was repaired :) http://www.trimline-systems.com

Seems like an average price is around £30ish per panel , but less is you have a few panels . The guy i used took out 2 in the roof , 1 on the drivers door and 1 on the rear passenger quarter panel all for £60 .

Depends where the dent is . If you don't know what your doing , even with the right tool(s) you can end up making it worse or even crack the paint . Like i said once before in another thread . I took out a dent on a rear quarter panel with a decorators seam roller , but it was easy to access...

Welcome to CS . Hope you enjoy the car and the website . Like joshYdee says ,its arCtic blue , Illiad blue is the V6 ;)

Of course it affects it . Any deviation from the standard wheel / tyre size will give an inaccurate speedometer reading . Check this out : http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

Eh ? What ?? :S I just stated mines no faster using ethernet than it was using the usb cable .

Thats what i was led to believe also . When i had my 172 i went to the local ATS and they told me they had to get it from Renault . That was about 3 years ago though . Maybe there are some manufacturers of replacement 172 exhausts now ?
