It has a ITG induction kit, and a JanSpeed exhaust + de-cat.
I went in wanting a smoother power delivery and to remove the pop and bang noises from the exhaust. All that has been done and it's making the power that it should be so I'm pretty pleased overall.
I did notice that on the way back from RST this morning that I have developed a weird noise coming from the front of the car. I seems to be linked to the wheels moving! It's really difficult to explain as its not a scratching, grinding, clicking noise or anything like that. It isn't the engine I don't think as it only does it when the wheels are turning, its not linked to the revs or the clutch either! I'm gonna have to get the front end in the air and see if i can hear it from outside the car.

So 180BHP and 160ft/lb torque? I have absolutely no idea about torque figures 😂 but please with the 180bhp. thats what I was hoping for to be fair as I know these engines can be hit and miss when it comes to making the magical '182' figure!
cheers guys.
2004 Racing Blue 182
Cheers man, i'll see if I can check it out before weekend, but I don't think i'll get time. I'm hoping it's not the driveshaft, but knowing my luck recently, it probably will be 😂😂

Be a stone in the tyre.

Even if it is a driveshaft, although annoying, it's not the most difficult/expensive job to do.

Cheers man, I can’t take the credit though, the previous owners have really looked after her.
I was wondering if someone might see me today with the roads being quiet, a fair few of us knocking about in Leeds area now.
What were you driving??

There's only one logical answer. It's now making so much power it's blown a driveshaft in the first 24 hours, didn't know RSTuning were that good.
Renault probably rate the drive shafts to 160bhp so you're probably right 😂
It looked spot on tbh. Made me miss my old RB.
I was incognito in a black Honda Jazz!

I’m visiting my Sister and Brother in law this weekend down south, my brother in law has this little clio tucked away in his garage, owned since 2005.

We drove down in the wife’s black diesel golf, so I think he might [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It’s an 04 I think, bought it about 6-8 months old. It’s spent the last couple years living the majority of the year in an oxygen tent [emoji23]
I’m trying to persuade him to take me out in it this weekend but it’s not taxed.
It is pretty mint to be fair. He has a couple things that need sorting on it.

Just about to leave for Bram Racing. New tyres, camber bolts and alignment.
Looking forward to that.

Hope it goes a bit smoother this time, I'm sure it will.
Ask them if they've got the engine out of the Lexus yet

The exhaust is lying under the car, and the front end is much higher than the back so I reckon it’s engineless [emoji23]

Update.
Arrived at Bram Racing at 9, left about 1.
4 Michelin Pilot Sport 3 in 195/45/16 fitted and balanced, 2 Eibach camber bolts added, and wheel alignment sorted.
And Brad confirmed my suspicions about the noise coming from the front of the car, he thinks it is probably a driveshaft. So that will need sorting ASAP. But will have to hang on until I’ve saved some coin to do it!
Drove the car back down the M62 and pretty much straight to work so haven’t had a chance to have a play yet to see how she feels, but hopefully will get out before weekend.
Top stuff from Brad. Worth the journey.

Allows you to adjust the camber on the shock. Gives you about 2 degrees I believe. Just means you can sort out the camber so it's correct then adjust the toe to suit.
That makes sense! So worth doing then? Considering they are only about 20 quid!
2004 Racing Blue 182
Not sure from driving point of view yet as haven’t had chance to really drive properly. But for the sake of £20 and half an hours fitting, defo worth it.

Very true! Will be very interested to see what you think when you drive it properly :up:
2004 Racing Blue 182
Ive just driven the slightly longer way home as there is a 50mph twisty section. The car feels a lot lighter on its feet than it did before this morning. Turns in much sharper and doesn't feel like I'm trying to fight the wheel to get it to turn in. if that makes sense. It's like I've given it an energy drink 😂
Not sure I should be driving it too hard if the driveshaft needs replacing though. Would you guys advise changing both sides, or is it OK to just change one side?
2004 Racing Blue 182
Oh and this is probably a stupid question, but will replacing the driveshaft knock the alignment out as i'd be removing the hub and attached components wouldn't I?

Yeah makes sense. Easy to fit and then the alignment place adjusts to suit.

Am I being thick, or is my internal temperature sensor missing???
Is this why my climate is only blowing warm air on anything but mini??

Mine is the same. I did search but all I found was threads about the temp sensor missing. Seems there may be a different sensor in the 182 but I didn't find a solution as to why the climate wouldn't work properly

Hmm,
Bugs me that I can’t have a constant temperature in the cabin. It’s either AC on and it’s cold, or AC not on and it’s boiling!

You can get away with removing the driveshaft by removing the tre and balljoint, pushing wishbone down and turning hub right round on lock. It's tight but you can remove the shaft.
