Realised my AD08R are down to 2mm rear and 3mm front. Not ideal this time of year and explains my grip issues in the wet recently. Has anyone tried the new AD08RS yet? Seems they've changed the compound to to suit new regulations. Only seen a few comments on them up to now, but don't seem that...

I'm currently looking at cat options as i'd like to ditch my decat for a bit. I'm using my 182 to commute to work again now, and will probably be for the foreseeable future. I'm reluctant to buy another second hand 182 cat, as the prices are a bit silly, and there getting old now. So been...

I've been looking for a decent cheap impact wrench for working on my car, after having issues removing the pinch bolt on a ball joint this weekend. Then thinking of all the times one would really have come in handy. I do pretty much all my own work on all my cars, except for timing belts. I...

Does anyone know the part number for the spring below numbered 23? Noticed this was missing a while ago, but not got around to replacing it. and after fitting a pms shifter, i've still got more movement than i'd expect, so hoping this might be part of the issue.

Selling my wife's old car, as we've replaced it with a mk6 Golf https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202731327563 Ad is a little shitty as it was rushed late last night to get something up before the weekend. Will probably update it at some point this weekend. Open to reasonable offers to shift it.

So I recorded the exhaust noise to send to my brother last week. Then one morning on the way to work i decided to record the acceleration to get a better idea of 0-60 times. I figured this would be around the 6.0-6.5 second mark with a good launch. Exhaust is the Ktec Janspeed 2.25 system...

As anyone ever tried one of these dent removal kits? I've watched a few videos on Youtube, seems the people selling the equipment get very good results and the DIY'er get varying results. Though some are very optimistic in the dents there trying to pull out.

Driving home on Friday night, suddenly i couldn't find 1st gear. Every other gear was fine and the car drove normally, so i just used 2nd to pull away. It was late when i got home, so couldn't investigate (plus i was wearing a Tux), but i realised that if i didn't move the shifter all the way...

Picked up my 182 on tuesday and was told by the previous own that the airbag light was on due to the aftermarket steering wheel and he'd never gotten around to getting it sorted. Car also has Evo 7 Recaro seats and is a geniune 182 Cup, so i believe no seat airbags as standard, but does have...

Looking to pick up a cat back system for the 182. I understand the milltek is one of the quieter systems, but would a non resonated system be too loud or drone for a daily commuter? I live on a fairly quiet estate, and my 20 mile commute is probably 70% 40 and 50mph roads, mostly lined with...

Went to view a 182 today, and noticed a crease in the rear quarter panel. It's not deep but is about 12 inches long or so, and goes from just off the rear wheel arch to the under side of the bump strip at about 30 degree angle. I understand this shouldn't be an issue for a paintless dent repair...

I've owned a Clio 182 3 times now. Seems like every time i buy a replacement car after selling one, i'm looking to get back into another Clio shortly after. In between the Clio's i've had; a Diesel Jetta with Hybrid turbo and custom mapping (made around 220bhp) for about 18 months, a 290bhp mk1...

My 182's been up for sale since i bought myself a Z4 about 2 months ago. I've pulled the RS2 off (Sold), the Treadline seat out, and will be selling off the wheels to put standards back on. But i took the car out last night for a quick spin, and now i really am having second thought about...

I've pulled off the RS2 today, but didn't manage to get finished due to the rain. Anyway, the RS2 only had the two sensors attached, and a single breather from the underside. This runs back to the rear of the engine and into the bulkhead. Looking at the original 182 inlet, i've got three...

My car has a custom remap to suit the RS2, but i'm considering removing it and putting the car back to standard. Obviously i'll need the mapping changed once complete to either the standard map or a remap. Cheapest option looks to be the RS Tuner, as i'll be able to buy a second hand unit...

I think my Alternator is about to pack in.... seems noisy and there is a slight burning smell that appears to be coming from it, or at least in that area. I've looked on Eurocarparts, GSF, etc and there appears to be a 75amp option or a 110amp option. Does anyone know which i'd need on a 05...

I've been tempted by the low boost kits on offer, but i've decided i'm going to stick with the RS2. Partly due to the cost and partly due to the issues several people have had (I know several have had no issues or only minor, etc). I also figured i'd just be better off buying a faster car if i...

So i sold my BG 182 in August 2014 a couple weeks after my wedding, as i knew i'd need a bigger car in the near future, didn't really want to sell it to be honest but put it up for sale for a bit more than i really expected to get for it and it basically sold within hours of posting it on here...

Where would be the best place to get a full set of bolts for reinstalling the intake manifold, fuel rail and protector? I'm planning on removing my RS2 to sell on. But whilst i've got all the parts i need, I don't have any bolts.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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'm sure this has been answered before, but my searching skills seem poor today. Currently running the standards 16" wheels on my 182, and as i want to replace the crappy tyres that are on it, i'm thinking about switching to some 15" wheels at the same time. Cheaper tyres making up some of the...

Bought a 182 this weekend and I need to replace the front and rear disc and pads. I know the standard setup is already pretty good when fresh, but I was hoping to improve the stopping power a little. Car will be used for driving to work in mainly, but there are some fun roads to throw it...
