Hi all
Ok so last weekend the Clio 182 was rebuilt with the following;
Genuine front lower arms
Genuine CUP dampers
Genuine NEW top mount kit with correct NEW spacers
Genuine front ARB drop link things (not the D bushes)
Genuine front track rod ends
Cooksport lowering springs
Everything was...
I have an RS192 on the vehicle, and decided to get the matching Scorpion decat pipe.
Fitted today with a new Renault fitting kit, Renault rear clamp and a lovely little lambda spacer to keep the rear CMS from the exhaust gas.
What can I say. I am absolutely amazed with the difference!
From...
I've had my 1 lady owner, high mileage Arctic Blue 182 FF for just about 3 weeks now. It is not unusual for me to restore my cars to as new specification, and this little blighter is no different! Yes its on 140K, yes its French, BUT its bloody brilliant! And to see the car you would be hard...
My writing font has worn away! A replacement from Renault is about £62.
Does anyone use an aftermarket gearknob that look nice, feels good and isn't too much of a pain to fit?
Cheers

Hi all
I have a lovely brand new Kenwood 92BT sat here looking at me in the box.
As much as I'd like to keep my car totally stock, this afternoon I fitted a set of JL Audio TR front coaxials and as with everything JL I run, I was amazed at the benefit in sound in a stock car with stock head...
Alright all
I am fitting new front lower arms and was considering changing the front dampers aswell. However, I don't want this to snowball into another restoration!
The front cup dampers I can get from Adam at around £80 or something, but then on top of that he wants another £80 or so for...
Well, what can I say? I'm smitten with the little beast.
I've had over 70 cars and some pretty nice ones so have a good reference to compare it to. What can I say? A BRILLIANT little car! I'll try and list the positives;
- Steering feel. Brilliant! I thought my DC2 Type R was pretty...
Alright all
In my quest for OCD perfection, I am looking to change the upper mount near the cambelt and noticed the 4 bolts look crap!
The are 16mm head, but does anyone know what size (I am assuming M10) and length?
Not paying Renault over £5 a bolt so figured I'd get some lovely stainless...
Hi all
Soooo many of these on ebay they all look the same!
Anyone know the actual Renault part number for the complete rear lower dogmount?
I want a new unit, not replacement powerflex bushes.
Cheers to all!
Alright all
I took off the speaker grilles on my 182 to see a 5.25" speaker. I am quite into my ICE and have a large personal stash of JL, Diamond, Soundstream ICE.
I realised I have two sets of new JL TR 5.25" coaxials in stock, so ordered the Clio speaker adapters as I don't like cutting...
So my 'MATE' was supposed to do my service today but BLAGGED me. I had bought oil, filter, air/fuel/pollen, gearbox oil, thermostat and coolant plus header tank. Oh and plugs.
I HATE timewasters. Basically I think he would rather the ramp doing simpler things, so sod you - I must have spent...
My 182 FF seats are great but just a little too high.
I want the Recaros from the Trophy! Does anyone know where I can get them from?
Anyone seen a set for sale?
Cheers
I've just got my 182 FF and I love it! Its not my favourite (DC2 gets that) but its still fabulous!
I bought it from the first lady owner and its on 140K!
Got me thinking......for some bizarre reason I really like high mileage 1 owner cars (incidentally my DC2 has only 1 previous owner aswell...
Hi all
First 182.
Needs belts and dephaser (actually dephaser only but may aswell do the lot).
Any recommendations?
I live/work in East London/Essex.
Thanks
Alright all
A fantastic forum, so good I've paid for membership!
Quick introduction. My name is Rez and finally in my mid 30's I've bought a 182 with FF Cup extras! Car details are below;
2004 blue FF Cup spec (spoiler and suspension)
1 lady owner from new (I kid you not!)
A HUGE mileage of...
