Is there any significant difference with the Ktec and Pure Motorsport stud conversion kits

I appreciate these step down to 1.25 rather than staying 1.5 but I don't see that being a major issue. If anything the fine thread could help prevent...
Mine pulled off real easy (although it was a warm day)
Bit of tar remover and polishing and all sorted.
I left the clio badge on though because of the holes it leaves. I'd get a pic if it wasn't raining.
It's a straight forward fit. No additional cables needed. Just be careful when putting it all back in the dash as its a tight fit.
I ran the mic cable behind the silver dash strip, round the edge of the dash then up the A pillar to the centre light. This way it's hidden but you don't have the...
I went back to standard but had a couple of bigger tail pipes welded on as they are like pea shooters as standard, much nicer looking now.
Before this I had a custom one made but they couldn't get it as quiet as standard, same with the patent part ones on eBay etc.
Another thing to bare in mind is if the steering rack mounts are worn the car won't track properly or will go out of line soon after its been set up as mine did.
Steering rack bushes is also another one to consider. I've got the same issue with mine having already replaced top mounts, ball joints, track rods and ends as well as the shocks.
Mine feels very vague and tramlines a bit, even after it recently had the tracking done. Turns out the rack bushes...
Pretty sure the timing on my car is out by one tooth or so. It runs pretty lumpy and average mpg is not great compared to others.
I also noticed the tell tale tipex marks on the pulleys!!!
How easy/how long would it take to check and adjust if needed, going on the assumption the belts are...
Standard if its your daily drive. I tried pure Motorsport top mounts and as great as they are they transmitted too much road noise on the rubbish roads around here as they lack any damping of the oem ones.
Does anyone have the details or part number for the single exaust mount that sits at the back of the rear box?
Mines missing on my 182. Is it really needed with the other 2 in place and the centre one?
This thread looks like other have had similar issues

And here...
Yep, the f*****s keep just coming loose. One side rattles like hell too as it doesn't sit down on the top bearing before it locks out on the thread on the damper. There a couple of mm gap.
Maybe just a dodgy batch from Renault but bloody annoying all the same.
I'm half tempted to try and mod...
Even after using a buzz gun, two weeks later they're loose.
The new design is worse than the old ones. You got any of the old spacers/nuts lying around Fred?
