If you're looking for custom PCD adapters or spacers for your wheels, Brightstone Engineering can help. They make high-quality, UK-made parts that can be tailored to your needs. Worth checking out if you're unsure about fitment.
Before the track day I tidied up the interior, put my seat in and got the steering wheel in the correct position. Oh and the big wing.
Fitted PureMotorsport seat mounts and foot rest. OMP snap off boss and 60mm spacer.
Rest of my PureMotorsport delivery that still needs unpacking.

On my car im using 172 hub carrier but with my clio 1.4 16v hubs and driveshafts , i didn t go for the clio sport hub because i can t find driveshafts and they are very expensive to buy as new also i know the difference in stock engine subframe vs cliosport subframe im still thinking to modify...
Looking great as always!
I believe I've still got the set of 18mm front spacers with longer bolts that I've taken off mine recently if you're interested?
I'm sure its been covered before and I've forgotten, but are you running spacers on those? They look phenomenal.
Are they low offset? 205 wide tyres? Fitment is spot on.
...list was pms studs, simple job which I did while fighting with the linkage so the thread lock had a chance to set. Next was the 10mm front spacers and the speedlines. I’m sure it’s up for debate but I don’t think there’s a better looking wheel for the Clio.
Also fitted a set of pedal...
...and then see. Subframe is 50mm wider per side and uses Clio Cup LCA's and Hubs etc which give it a little bit more width but not entirely sure how much. It should fill these Prima wings OK but ideally dont want to use spacers to go Maxi, I do have ET36 wheels though so ET6 ish wheels should...
more like 30mm if i remember.. there may also be spacers on there.. its been so long i cant remember but knowing some of the bodging i found, there probably are
...up from another member. In my opinion the best looking wheels for a Clio 1*2. Hopefully get the tyres mounted over the next week and with the spacers and studs.
Wheels are et43 with 205 tyres and will have 10mm spacers. Does anyone know of any rubbing issues with that size? Will probably look...
Thanks for the feedback - What style did you use? Read a lot about new and old style top mounts regarding the spacer nut etc etc, is there a rule of thumb on this?
...a gearbox. All being well, that will be fitted in the next week weeks along with a ttv flywheel and a new clutch. Need to order some 10mm spacers for the front along with studs and wheel nuts are pi**ing me off. I’ve bought a new set of 2118’s which will become my main wheels and the...
Mine were fine with no rubbing.
My setup was 205/50 on 15x7 ET35 with widened track on the front plus 10mm wheel spacers, and 10mm camber spacers on the rear.
I ran 2.5° front and 2° rear camber.
Be aware though that not all 205 semi slick tyres fit the same, some have very square sidewalls...
No spacers, stock camber.
It was only a tiny amount of rubbing.
Ended up running 195 rear and 205 front and that felt like a nice balance.
Don't want loads of rear end grip anyway if you want to be quick.
Checked some threads and decided to add some spacers to rear wheels i didn t like how the wheel was sitinng with the wing so got some laser cut spacers and the nuts and bolts for rear hubs , also got 2 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres , the handling of the car changed even better the grip on dry it...
...but the other part comes from a big lump of steel between the stub and rear beam.. it is also often done even on the factory cars with huge spacers that i think bordanova sell. i used to know from memory what the dims were.. its something like 100mm rear track increase and 148mm front.. might...
Never realised how under-wheeled they were until seeing that. Not FRP sized gap, but still a shame.would look good lowered with some spacers, especially in that bluey-purple colour
Agree with the above. I've had 10 182's and more recently a 172 cup. Most people would say to get the 172 cup, but personally I'd go with a 182 with both cup packs or a 182 cup, as they have aircon, cruise, abs, etc.
I
I've also owned a couple of 130i's and a NC MX5 too, and both were great...
@Martin_172 Thanks :) I just need to source one of those metal spacers.
The garage which fitted the shock must have lost it. They left the top donut / top mount only finger tight too..
Nope there is a metal spacer that sides down the middle of the big rubber doughnut, the small 13mm nut then tightens down against it which holds it all together then that big top hat goes on once on the car
found this online which shows it...
@Martin_172 Thanks Martin, The underside of the top mount cap has this spacer. Is this the one you mean?
Could my issue be a missing washer under the bolt on the strut thread?
Fresh spacers arrived so got them fired on.
Also spotted that the scabby sill has now got dramatically worse since the MOT, so that is going to need to be cut out and welded. Should be fine until winter though right?
