    Catalytic

    On my old 182, I had a Magnaflow 200 cell sports cat welded into the decat. This was the cheapest solution at the time, but the cat elements were only about £70 at the time. Then I paid around £50 to have it welded in.

    Aftermarket Sports Cats

    I had a Magnaflow 200 cell welded into a decat pipe years ago. Only put it through 1 MOT, but it passed. I went for this as they seemed to give the best warranty and were a known brand. Stuff like the ktec sports cats only offer 6 months warranty

    ***How much is it worth?***

    I'm sure you're in no rush to sell? If so I'd get it booked in to see Mick @ Diamond Motors. Obviously, it'll be costly with the transport down there, but in the grand scheme, it's a small price to pay I think, given the difference in value you'll get on sale. When my RB failed to start and I...

    ***How much is it worth?***

    To be fair you were advised several times in your thread it was worth around £3k minimum, even with the belts needing doing when you were considering selling it previously. And I think it would have sold for that given a little time. I sold it for £3700 in the end, but I suspect with the way...

    The New Phone Thread

    Paid £299 for my Pixel 7 last month. I don't think you'll find a better Android phone for that money.

    Recommendations for dry fast road tyres?

    I always used Yokohama AD08 & AD08R when given the option. Last set was the newer AD08RS. The newer RS are supposed to be slower on track but are great on the road. Though a few years ago Kwikfit would do a full set fitted for £200 All the other tyres I've used on a Clio have felt too soft on...

    The New Phone Thread

    This was the reason I ended up going for a Pixel 7 when they were for sale for £300 last month. I was replacing a Pixel 6 pro, so the jump to something like a S23U would have been less in my case. I quite fancied trying a smaller screen size too, as I was weighing up jumping to an iPhone 15 pro...

    Advice - Looking to buy a RB 182

    In terms of numbers, there was something like 450 RB cups, and 450 non-cups. So around 900 total I believe. Not massive numbers, compared to the other colours but probably the largest numbers in terms of the sort after colours. They made 500 Trophy's for the UK market in comparison. I think...

    Never heard that to be honest. Quick google suggest that the 6 also had this issue and Android 14 has fixes for it. Saying that though, I never had any issues with the 6 pro, and my wife has had a 7 pro since they were released without issue. So not overly worried. At worst it's a cheap stop...

    The New Phone Thread

    I've just ordered a pixel 7 from Currys for £299.50, to replace my tired broken pixel 6 pro. None of the newer flagship phones really caught my eye enough to justify paying 3 times more. I was planning on getting a 15 Pro max through work, but cashflow is a bit tight so that's off the cards...

    Clio 15 Superleggera

    Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's are no longer manufactured, and haven't been for a long time now. So if you're luck enough to find any they'll be old stock. They were replaced with these if that helps: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363742675496 I'm pretty sure someone on here posted pictures of them...

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    His Dad has only recently joined the channel. Well probably been over a year now, I think he became a full time addition when he bought the Lambo that needed the engine rebuilding. It's funny as if you look back in this thread, most people on here seemed to say they hated his videos not too...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Think the steering wheel QR I had was 70mm deep, so with the bucket seats as low as possible, it was a really comfortable fit for me. I've still got my bucket seat and subframe in the garage in case I get another (the 172 cup up this week was tempting). Bought a Z4 3.0si, as I fancied another...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Sorting the driving position out with better seats and a smaller steering wheel is a must on these cars in my opinion. The standard seats and steering wheel ruin the car for me. Though I am 6 foot 3, so that doesn't help. And it's not like it couldn't be put back to standard in a day anyway. I...

    So my Pixel 6 Pro has had issues with the usb c port for probably 6 months plus now, I've been making do with using a charging pad at night, but when using the phone for a sat nav when on longer journeys and out all day long it's starting to become an issue. Phone is coming up to 2 years old now...

    Quick release flat wheel

    I bought a cheap Motamec from ktec. Originally I bought an OMP wheel for round £175, but sent it back as I wasn't happy with the stitching and finish. The Motamec was around £65, and was pretty decent for the money. It seemed just as strong as all my previous OMP wheels...

    What are your thoughts on the Pro Max? I'm tempted to switch over from my Pixel Pro at some point to a Pro Max, mainly for the LiDAR scanner, as it'll be useful when on site to gather measurements. But only ever had Android phones.

    Yozzasport options

    Standard CAT will definitely reduce the noise levels. I found that when I switched over to a Magnaflow 200 cell sports cat welded into a decat pipe, that it made very little difference. Not sure if the cheaper aftermarket replacements are any better at reducing the noise. You could also add a...

    Is going from Clio 182 to a Fiesta ST a good move?

    I've looked at the Fiesta ST a few times over the years now, and with a remap they look really good value for the performance and running cost. One thing that has put me off a little is the number of stolen ST's though. Not sure if they're pinpointed for any particular reason, or just easy to steal?

    Hopgop1's RB 182

    Want to buy your old one back? still mint I'm going to switch to 15's, and some stickier tyres I think. Definitely look good in that colour against the RB.

    Decent RS garage in Coventry area?

    Diamond Motors in Long Eaton, Nottingham if that's not too far away. Heard nothing but good things on here and the FB groups for the 10+ years I've been a member, and he's been brilliant whenever I've taken anything to him. Got my Clio 182 booked in for cambelt, dephaser, etc later this month too.

    Eibach Springs - Sportline vs Pro-Kit

    I've had Standard springs, Pro-line (albeit a long time ago), Cooksports, and now Grams. Honestly not noticed much of a difference between any of them. The ride is pretty harsh when compared to something a bit more modern. Perhaps if you're only driving the Clio you'd notice it a little more...

    Yokohama AD09

    Looks likes these are going to be a very good replacement for the old AD08's, 5 to 6 seconds faster around Silverstone in Darkside's 125d compared to AD08RS's Don't seem to be available in 195/50/15, but are in 205/50/15 and 205/45/16.

    Finally got my 182 back 😁

    I tried to talk my wife into one of these a few times. But no luck just yet. Think they remap up to around 150bhp too, so would be pretty fun to drive at that power I don't think I could own a 182 with standard seats and steering wheel. First things I purchased for my current 182 was a smaller...
