DCi Wide Track Conversion, What driveshafts?

[Martin_172]

got a set of 182 arms, hubs, brakes, suspension, ARB for my DCi 80, just wondering do I need the driveshafts? I remember something about 172, cup, 182 all using different shafts is that correct or is it just the cup that had specific shafts?

what about ABS do all clios have the same amount of teeth on the front?

trying to do the research so its a simple afternoons work to swap it all over as I need the car and don't really want it off the road for any longer than it needs to be.

cheers

Don't you need the subframe too? I might be wrong.

na subframe is the same fitment, RS one does have the mounting for the 4th engine mount that the non Rs one has but you can just drill that anyway, I believe the RS one might be thicker from memory but I cant remember.

lower arms are interchangeable though I know that much!

Where does the 4th engine mount go? I could have sworn my Ph1 has 3.

 

[Martin_172]

Between the gearbox and the subframe, on the underside near the front, visable from the passengers wheel arch if you remove the wheel and pull the arch linger back

Cup (thats 172 cup), or Ph1 O/S shaft, I found lengh didn't matter, Mines had both. N/S Can be 182 non cup, or Ph1/cup again.

Fit the DCi ABS sensors, they should all be same amount of teeth, but check your DCi, as the Sports are All 44.

Another tiny point, make sure you have sport (M14) shock to hub bolts, Non sports are only M12.

Any probs give me a shout, I did it a couple of years ago, obviously its very out of my mind now as I keep thinking about the 1.9 stuff I did. If you get stuck for Shafts, I'll check my stock but I think I threw them anyway lol
