I have owned my 185 for 4 years now. I still love it. With a 1 year old girl, the boot space is tight at times, other than that there is no reason to sell. My family keep telling me to get a bigger car, to make it easier with the little one. Problem is, I can't bring myself to sell the Clio for...

I have a lovely set of refurbed 15" Superleggeras waiting for some rubber, settled on getting some Uniroyal Rainsport 2's but can't find stock anywhere. Any tips? Tried all the normal online cuplrits and no joy!

Kiddie on the way and I really want to keep the Clio. Bought a buggy that goes into the boot no problem, but it seems the rear seat space may cause an issue. Recaro Babyseat on Isofix base just fits behind passenger seat, if seat is slid forward a bit more than normal - not ideal. The baby...

Hey Guys, Just spoke to Uniroyal about tyre weights (because I am crazy fussy about reducing weight). Thought this may be useful for other weight saving freaks out there - 195/50 R15" = 7.06kgs 205/50/15" = 8.35 kgs So, if you have gone down to a 15" rim to reduce unsprung weight...

Fed up with leg ache and a numb left arse cheek every time I go for a long journey now (might be my age ;)) So, are there any other seats that offer better support, especially lumbar support, are lighter, and tilt forward, to provide access to the back? I know about Trendlines but would prefer...

Got myself some 15" Superleggeras, the lightest wheel to fit as far as I know. I'm trying to decide which tyres to get now. I have pretty much decided upon the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's. Question is, what size? Either a 205/50 or a 195/50 I've just read on another Forum that the 195 Rainsport...

I got the car fitted with Proline Springs and solid top mounts a few years ago. I used to love it, especially on the right roads. These days, driving a lot more on the motorway I am starting to curse the ride. It feels hard and jittery and gets tiring on a 200 mile journey. I like the slightly...

Just got my renewal quote through from Admiral. Last year, my premium was £495, this year, they want £600. How can it be that my age, and NCB is going up and not reducing my premium? not exactly rewarding staying with them are they. Crazy, quick look on Moneysupermarket got me a quote of £423...

Been after a set of 16" Superleggeras for a while now. Since they have been replaced by Ultras they are pretty hard to come by it seems. Some on eBay now, £250 but would need a refurb. Do you reckon that is what I'll have to pay or is it worth waiting longer? Cheers

I've had my 182 for a few years now. I cover low mileage and the car has only done 26,000. Whenever I drive it I enjoy it. Because I'm a petrolhead, I often think about what I will change it for, even though I don't need to. Thing is, without shelling out a lot more money, I can't find a...

I thought some of you may be interested in some material that I have used on another car for making up interior panels. It is a flat material, good for creating a false floor or one dimensional door cards. Much much lighter than MDF but still rigid. It is corrugated plastic, often goes under...

Hi Guys, Having a slight dilemma about the car at the moment. Have had a 182 for 2 years, love it. We are now expecting our 1st child :approve: and common sense says the Clio will not be big enough :(. Just wondering if anyone has run a Clio as the only family car with a baby/toddler? Is it...

Just looking into some new tyres. Was just going for a straight swap and fitting more Michelin Pilot 2's but availability is poor. Vredestein have been winning tyre tests for a few years so thought I would have a look. They do a Sportrac 3 in the correct size and V rating. I can get them fitted...

Just wondering if anyobody had any tips for the cheapest place to get Brembo Max discs for my 182? GSF don't seem to list them anymore?? Yozzasport are at £113.56 but hoping to get cheaper?

I have owned a few classics before my Clio and hate rust. Because of this, I have got into a routine of rust protection. Mostly under body, inside wheel arches etc. Question is, has anyones Clio Mk2 started rusting in a particular area? I am interested to make sure I inject wax in the right...

Hi, I know this has been asked before but I am confused after searching previous threads. I have bought a 2nd hand Maxogen and want to fit. I am hoping I can just replace original airbox and fit maxogen onto throttle boy and bolt under slam panel - job done. Do I have to do anything about the...

Just ordered the Pagid Blue and Brembo MAX package from Yozzasport. More money than I was planning to spend but they sound awesome and Andrews advice persuaded me. I will let you know how it feels next week after I have driven the Evo triangle! Excited now

Was just about to go with Ferodo DS 2500 and Brembo plain discs but just spoke to a guy at work who has a Vee and he has yellowstuff pads fitted and says they are excellent. Really good performance from cold, low dust etc. I see K Tec sell them but not really heard much about them. Anyone offer...

Okay, I know these topics are discussed over and over, but ... I am looking at getting 1 of 2 brake upgrade combos. Without worrying about cost, which of these combinations will most importantly, 1) squeal less at slow speeds and 2) last longer - Brembo HC and Ferodo DS2500 OR Brembo MAX with...

I know some people hate the Inferno colour but it seems to get the vote from bugs! Every time I clean it, it gets bombarded by all sorts of little 6 legged friends loving the orange. Any other Inferno owners have the same problem?

I know that the RS manifolds have RS written on them but I just can't seem to get a good view. I have tried a small mirror under the fuel rail but I can't seem to see much. Can anyone be more specific with how to see it? Should I be able to feel the raised lettering somehow if I can get my hand...

In underground car park by Corn Exchange. Looks nicely used, 1st Trophy I have seen with a roof rack!

Has anyone with an Inferno painted their callipers? I am going to paint to stop them from looking scruffy but was wondering about going black, silver or gold. What do people think? I think custard yellow would be a nice contrast with the orange but am starting to think I have lost all concept of...

Thought I might post some pictures of my other car up, it tends to create a reaction one way or the other. I really bought the 182 as a stop gap until this is finished but to be honest, can't see myself getting rid of the 182 now. Anyway, the car is a 1962 Rochdale Olympic. British, glassfibre...

Hi, I am getting a bit confused reading about the BMC CDA kit. As well as buying the induction kit itself, do you need to buy an extra cold air pipe to direct cold air in? Sorry if this seems like a stoopid question. Least I am not asking which kit to buy ;) Any insight from someone who has...

No axe to grind, just fell foul of the impracticality of my 182 last weekend. Last Sunday was a complete wash out for me and the missus because of the lack of spare on my 182. I never thought it would be an issue not having a spare but I got a puncture after going over a piece of metal on the...

Hi Firstly, I apologise for starting another thread about lowerings springs, Eibachs, Sportlines vs Prolines etc.etc.:o BUT After searching I can't actually find a picture of a 182 Cup that is on Prolines. Can anyone help? I have seen a Cup on Sportlines, looks nice but I don't want to affect...
