Hey guys, So I've run KW Variant 2's with Pure Motorsport top mounts. On track this setup is amazing. However due to a move, I'm now living in an inner city area with shitty (really bad) roads. Over lumpen surfaces, the noise and vibration is doing my head in. It really means you can't drive...

Hi guys, This is my Clio 182. Went for a drive with some friends the other night and accidentally overshot a corner, understeered into a ditch and scraped my passenger door. Decided to have it detailed to see if they could fix the damage. Results speak for themselves I think:

Hi guys, Issue been plaguing me for months. When I go over bumps at certain angles, when braking and then accelerating again, I get a knock. It's almost like the engine moves forward and hits something. Its very annoying. Any ideas where to begin looking? It occurred after I changed my...

Hi guys, I replaced my entire wishbone assembly the other day and I've had knocking ever since. I took it to a shop and they said the bottom ball joint was loose. Then when driving home it made the same knocking (during braking and acceleration). I am going to pop under the car and have a look...

Hi guys, Track day with about 10 very easy laps, car not being pushed very hard. My friend was driving, and the car just stalled in 1st gear idling in the pitlane. It turns over, but never fires. It was recently serviced. We checked for fault codes, but there were none. Tried starting it half...

I am interested in buying some Recaros for my 182. Ideally I would get some Trendlines and walk the beaten path. But I'm also interested in am SR3's. Any idea if there are rails available that will fit these? Dom

Hi guys, I've installed some KW Coilovers Variant 2 a couple of weeks ago. I am using Pure Motorsport top mounts. The rear is on the lowest height setting, and the front is on a fairly moderate height. I am yet to set them up properly - it was more to make sure I wasn't rubbing. I wanted to...

I've just had HEL Braided brake lines for 172/182 tried to be fitted to my 182 Non Cup by my mechanic. He was able to fit the rears, but the fronts were apparently too short and were rubbing on the guard. Any idea? I have a set of Goodridge Lines here and they are the same length too. Is there...

I'm running the 2.25" Supersports Janspeed/KTEC system and it's not bad. But it's a bit droney and bassy. I rish it were more raspy. I cannot go a decat. They are illegal in Australia with huge fines. Should I swap for a Yozza? Or try for a 100cell cat?

Sounds a lot louder in real life. Think it has to do with the camera being towards the front of car, so getting a lot of engine noise:

I've been looking at exhausts for my 182. Will be run with the original cat. Don't want it too loud. Am leaning towards the Janspeed over the others. The issue is which type - sports or supersports? The videos of sports seem very muted and silenced. Hard to find a supersports video. Dom

So my 2118's are pretty shabby after some idiot kerbed 2 of them (me...). I want to refurb them, but in a much shinier variant of Anthracite. I'm not sure what I mean, but perhaps something like so: Anyone have any pictures of similar antracites?

Was driving today. At low revs (sub 4000) the car was stuttering and cutting out under full throttle. As if it was low on fuel. Any idea what I should be looking for? I am yet to look for faults using RSTuner.

Anyone know of any center caps that will fit a 2118, both front and rear? Sick of the rusty hub showing.

Is a press needed, or will a vice suffice. I.e. can I change my dogbone mount to a powerflex without any specialist tools needed.

I dislike the tiny look of the stock exhaust tips. I find them a bit too thick rimmed, and love this sort of look: Is there any way to fit aftermarket tips? I am overseas atm so can't go and check my car out :P

Hi guys, Which of the mounts on a 182 are worth upgrading? Dogbone for tighter shift? I've no idea which are worth it.

Hi guys, I overfilled my oil pretty badly. I took it down to local, and they drained it using a pump (straight out of dipstick). Yet today when I checked it after a short drive to get it up to temperature, it was still slightly over. Should I be concerned?

Hi guys, My 182 (80000km) feels odd atm when taking off in 1st gear. It's as if the biting point changes, and with maybe 1cm left before it's completely out, it behaves as if it's out. Then the next stop light it acts differently again. It also shudders and groans and is quite noisy really. I...

Hi guys, Atm, I'm planning on attempting this myself. I do not have a trolley jack, and was planning on using a diamond type emergency jack. Should I ditch that idea and go with a trolley jack? The plan of attack was to jack the car up, place wheel underneath sill as a safety precaution...

Hi guys, I've just bought myself a super, super clean 182 FF with Sportlines, Short shift kit, Odyssey battery, recovered steering wheel, etc as a daily. I have a set of anthracite 2118's in my garage ready to go on, as well as a Skoda splitter and some tasty semi-slick rubber. Arrives here...

So my 182 is being delivered this week, and I have a set of 2118's in the cupboard. It's running Sportlines on it atm, with stock shocks. Will it be low enough to make the 2118's work?

I'm looking at a 182, and have yet to drive it. I keep hearing reports on how bad the gearbox is. Is it that bad? The one I'm looking at has an EngineDynamics short-shift kit . How would it compare to say a 1991 205 GTI?

Hi guys, Anyone know of any Monaco Blues with 2118s? Dom

Hi guys, Looking at various wheel options and don't want to discount anything. Does anyone know of any other wheel models/brands that have a similar multispoke design that the wheels listed in the title have? They must be 16". For reference here are some Superleggeras: Some Team Dynamics...

Hi guys. I have read the induction sticky, and most of the threads, but am still a little confused. 172 Ph2 here. I'm debating whether to plonk some cash down on an induction kit of some kind. Is the noise much different to just removing the valve from the intake? I am mainly looking at a...
