See you all tomorrow :D I'll be in an inferno 182. Oh aye, I'll have a leccy compressor if anyone wants a shot.

Following advice on here, I tried my best to get a Yozza. However just like past experience with this company, it's almost impossible to buy anything. I ordered online on the peculiar website that doesn't seem to order anything, then waited as instructed for a phone call which never came. Phoned...

They are both excellent cars. I've driven the 197 off and on the track on a few occasions. I've only had the 200 round a track once, but it was immediately apparent that it's more than an extra 3bhp and a styling change. Whatever they've done, it seems to handle and drive even better than the...

Oh yes...this will be awesome. I don't have 2 pennies to rub together right now, but I'll rob a post office to be at this.

I've had my 182 since new, 5 1/2 years now. Apart from an aftermarket exhaust that was purchased due to the original one rotting, it's pretty well standard. I've spent my money on trackdays, and more importantly tuition at trackdays. It's hilarious going past an M3 in your budget family french...

Rolling diameter of the wheel will be around 10mm less on a 205/45, so this will affect the accuracy of the speedo. Lower profile tyre might "tramline" a little more but really depends on the tyre. A wider tyre won't mean more rubber in contact with the road necessarily. If the tyres are good...

The main reason is unsprung weight. Reducing weight on suspension components improves handling. I read somewhere that 1Kg saved on suspension = 5Kg saved on the chassis. Moving from a 16" wheel to a light weight 15" saves you 25Kg or more, which is a significant saving. 16" wheels on a Clio are...

Thanks dude, I just want to make sure before I part with a sizeable chunk of money. I'll maybe pick up the phone and speak to Fred.....unless he wants to comment here ;)

I've got a largely standard 182 that I use for track days and the odd b-road blast. It's also used to commute when my old diesel barge is broken. In the new year I want to get a few things fitted for next season. My shopping list is as follows: Second hand H&R's (already purchased, require...

Also worth a look: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-Sport-172-182-Rear-Discs-And-Pads-/220705355396?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3363107684 Which particular GSF was it? Can we get our CS discount?

I've got a 182 Cup now which I've tracked a lot, and also driven 197 and 200 on the track. The 197 and 200 are far more capable, and also more fun in my opinion. I've done a few days at Cadwell, and when I jumped out of my 182 and into the 200 for the first time, I was going quicker than I'd...

I also notice that you have a small and large washer. I got 2 of the larger washers and I ended up having to angle grind a couple of mill off the top one as it didn't fit correctly. I wonder if the smaller one is a revised version?

Fitted mine last weekend, didn't get one of those :S

Fred, how hard are these to DIY rebuild? I've rebuilt a Peugeot BE3 box and that was straight forward enough, are these similar? Presumably this would be caused by a worn synchro, in which case, it shouldn't cost that much to fix for the DIY'er?

Used a few sets of 2500's over the years. Take shims out, clean up, fit with copper slip, never had any squeeks or requirement to file them down!

I'll be looking into this soon as well......I read somewhere that rather than refurb the rears, you should go for a set of koni adjustables, is this advisable?

Ouch, last set I got were £86 a corner from Birchdown :) I should maybe have bought an extra set!

That could mean it's never been done and could potentially be far out. Tracking can make the difference between a death trap and a car that grips well. Have you examined the front tyres, are they 100% evenly worn across their tread?

Best tyre I've used, best by a country mile in the wet, very impressive. Have you had your tracking checked recently?

I've used both HC and Max with the DS2500 loads on the track, can't say I noticed any difference what-so-ever. HC for me, as they are much cheaper. It might be a different story with a different pad, as the grooves will benefit different materials more than others. I've never had a problem with...

Nice one mate, looks like it's seriously chucking it down there. I get to Knockhill when I can, I'll keep an eye out for you. Here's one I did in April:

Decent engine, should go well. Didn't these have a problem with their clutches failing prematurely? I think they're of the dual mass kind which are expensive. Might be talking rubbish but worth checking out.

The 307's were HDI, it's the 306's that were "d turbo". The HDI is a good engine, can't comment on the rest of the car.

A diesel priming bulb and a bit of fuel line will do the same thing for about a fiver ;)

Bought a Bosch S5 for my 405 diesel recently, £120 at Halfords, £58 at Costco ;)

The genuine Renault rubber mats are only £13. I've tried various aftermarket ones and they never fit just right. Plus rubber ones are easy to clean, they still look like new after 3 years.

Not that I'm looking to buy, but I was looing at your ad a few days ago. What put me off was the black bullets and badges, missing splitter, missing RS badge and painted calipers. The exhaust looks a little odd, looks like the alignment is a bit out. All of these things add up and give a...

Saw a Trophy at Tobermory harbour today, on a previous visit there was a 172 Cup parked in this spot, same owner?

Tidy motor mate! I was half asleep, was just out ma bed!
