Anyone have a pipe made up by Pirtek please with photos?.as this is the route i think i will be going,just need an old pas pipe for them to use.

Looking into getting the 172 cup pas hoses/pipes as i have the cup alternator set up with oe 182 pas with bent pipe mod. Question is,how can i tell the difference between the 172 cup pas hose to the 182,so i know im getting the right one and not just a 182 hose?

I done the cup alternator set a while back now and had to bend one of the pipes,but ever since this i have had the main hose hang down a bit and would like to get the proper 172 cup pas high pressure hose if anyone has one please or other option is to get a company like Pirtek to copy one and...

Thanks,i dont have a/c and have the cup alternator set up,does this make this easier?. Im thinking just go get pirtek to make a new hose for me thats a tad shorter as at the mo it hangs out the front a bit because of having to mod/bend pipes to fit the cup alternator set up.

Any updates on the kit please,as im looking also to get this kit or get the hoses etc made up by pirtek etc

So im going back to oe mounts (yes i know 😆🤦🏼‍♂️) Ive gone for new febi mounts,but i have noticed the new febi upper mount is a bit different to the one that came off.The top metal plate that sits in the middle is bonded on and sits higher and also very tight to the sides,also the other little...

Fitted the engine mounts today along with a paint of the cambelt cover mount. Not to bad of a job,apart from trying to put the two bolts in on the gearbox mount.Do they have to go in from the bottom or can you put them in from the top then nut underneath?. On idle it seems all fine with just a...

We shall find out tomorrow mate 🙆🏼‍♂️

The only mount i have ever changed on the clio is the dogbone mount to the poly mount,when i got the clio.So with this in mind i was looking to freshen up the mounts and thought why not try solid mounts to go along with the dogbone mount. So thanks to @colesy i bought a pair of mounts off...

Thanks,i will have to keep an eye out for a set.I guess just some vibration on idle?

Thanks for the recommendations on the bleeding tool. What about on the solid engine mounts?,ok for road use or just stick with oem with the poly insert?

Thanks mate I do have a large syringe,but just found a US PRO Tools Hand Held Vacuum Pump & Brake Bleeding Kit which i may try for the price.Never got on to well with the ezi kit. https://ebay.io/m/dAL9pF

*Sorry i meant solid engine mounts not top mounts.

Went for sunday drive to try and bed the pads in a bit more and found a cool spot for photos.

TRW pads all fitted and done a few miles to bed them in,but needs more and a brake bleed.Anyone had ago at bleeding the brakes with using a trigger from a spray bottle?.thinking to give that ago rather than ezi bleed or someone in the car pumping the brake pedal. Next thing up is changing the...

Yes please mate if you could send me a list if thats ok,thanks.

Will this kit be able to buy?

I normally just go easy on the brakes for 100 miles or so and check fluid levels.but reading so do firm brake from 40 to mph a few times,then from 50.

Fitted the new TRW pads today onto my old discs as they are still fine. What is everyones bedding in process with new pads please?.

Anyone have a silver half cage in there clio?.mine is satin black but thinking to change to silver

With my PBS front pads kicking out way to much brake dust,even just on normal driving around,also having normal pads on the rear.With reading up on a lot of people rating the TRW brake pads,i bought Front and rears to change over on the clio.This should bring a lot less dust on the front wheels...

I cant say i cant tell any difference driving with the 2118s and when i had my lightweight evo wheels.I think only counts if its a proper track/race car.

Fitted the oe mount conversion on the coilovers and have to say such a better drive now,no more crashy drive.Will give it a proper shake down tomorrow and have a drive out,also maybe adjust the height but will see whats its like tomorrow.Sits a bit lower now

Starting to Really like the 2118s,even tho i would love a set of Turinis again (if anyone wants to do a swap/deal 😬)

Next Chapter on the suspension,converting the BC front coilovers from Solid mounts to oe mount set up.Only had to wait 3 weeks from BC just for these parts.With New Febi mounts and bearings.

Does anyone use BC BR Coilovers for the 172/182 using the oe top mounts and not there solid top mounts?. Reason asking as i will be converting mine to use the oe top mounts and just want to ask a few questions/photos on how its set up please.

Yep i cant fault the last set of B14s i had,why did i go for BC this time 😆 Only thing is having to pay out for a new set of B14s before i sell the BCs.Also i think having solid top mounts dont help on a road car.With the BCs you have to spend about £150 to convert them back to normal top mount...

Thats what i will do once i have the refurb beam on,i will get Alex to do alignment and corner weigh it.Then if still not great back to the B14s,i think just went with BC as they have a great choice with changing springs,parts etc.But then i like the B14s and put on and forget.
