Bit of a random one.... my 182 has developed a bit of a high idling problem. It will start off at about 2k and work its way up to almost 3k as it gets warmer. The second I put my foot on the brake it returns to a perfect idle? I am thinking something to do with a vacuum hose? Anyway I wondered...

I need to get a new steering wheel boss as I've managed to buy an OMP one that doesn't have the little lumps/lugs on the back that go into the steering angle sensor on my 182. The problem is making sure I now get one that does have them is proofing harder than I expected. Everyone just has...

I'm going to get some shims to get some camber on the rear of my clio. I want to get some metal ones and I know pure Motorsport do some but with delivery they are just shy of £35. There are some on eBay for £26 with delivery that look pretty much exactly the same and I just wondered whether...

On my last track day my Clio has developed a decent amount of brake vibration since the last track day. It was fine a few weeks before at the previous day. My only thought is that I've parked it up on the trailer with the brakes too hot and leaving it stationary with pads and discs that hot has...

My Clio 182 is entirely used now for track days and this winter as every winter I have spent a little time doing a few improvements. One of the things I've done is remove the dashboard entirely to let the little car achieve its new years resolution of loosing weight. However the one thing I...

I've read a few mixed opinions on Powerflex bushes but I've not really read much on their black series. I don't care about comfort and vibrations as I've heard as some negatives towards them as my car is purely for track days. I'm just interested if anyone has put the black series into their...

I want some spacers for my 182 but I'd like to sort two birds with one stone. I run Team Dynamics on my clio and they need spiggot rings to fit the bore of the hub but they are plastic and with the heavy track use they get and fairly regular removal and fitting they keep breaking. i would like...

I don't know whether this has been mentioned on here yet, but has anyone seen this program? I've just watched it on ITV4 and it has got to be the worst car show I have ever seen! The female side of the presenter team makes it slightly easier to watch but it is just so bad. I guess it might be...

I was over at Donington Park yesterday for a Trackday and it was wet most of the day. There were a few Clio's there but because of people popping along to see us and playing around with the car I never got chance to go and talk to anyone and see whether anyone had any tips to help us with our...

I can put a picture up if people don't know what I mean when I try and describe this but I'm sure a lot of people will know immediately what I'm on about and put me out of my misery. just in front of the drivers side front wheel, between the arch lining and front bumper, there is a black box...

I know there are a lot of people on here who are fans of the Brembo HC's and they seem like a reasonable price on Ktec's website but what about the Brembo Max discs? They are grooved but they are twice the price. My car is purely a track car and from what I know grooved discs are much better...

I've read that a couple of people have been trying out Nankang NS2R's on the road and people seem generally happy but has anyone given them a good seeing to on the track? If so how did you find them? My Federals are reaching the end of their life and I'm thinking of giving something else ago and...

Hi all, I've had a search around and I can't quite find what I'm looking for so I wondered anyone could give me some advice. I'm just fitting a decat to my 182 and I've just realised I need to do something with the post cat lambda. I seem to have a few options, plug the lambda into the decat...

I am having a bit of a brake problem with my 182 and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction before I start upgrading lots of things. I use it totally for track now and I'm finding the brakes are starting to let me down a bit at the end of a good day. It doesn't feel like normal...

Hi, after a big winter rebuild, I did my first track day at Anglesey a few weeks ago. I've just come to give the car a once over before Donnington Park next week to find that all three of the cv boots have either got holes in or have blown their clips off. What's makes it worse is they were all...

I've totally stripped down my track car this winter and I'm now putting it back together. I have a very small problem I'm sure someone will be able to tell me in 2 seconds...... I have taken both track rods ends off to replace them, just coming to fit the new ones (2 months after removing the...

Sorry if this has been covered before but I haven't managed to find anything in search. I've removed my gearbox on 182 track car this weekend and when the snow goes away I'm going to take it down to Agency because it has fallen to the classic third gear crunch. While everything is out I'm going...

I've now unfortunately got the famous 3rd gear crunch when I'm accelerating hard in my 182 track car. I've read around and people seem to either send them to be rebuilt or get a second hand one. I have a couple of questions I wondered whether anyone can help me with because I am not keen on...

I've just fitted my new OMP wheel and boss to my car this evening. Me and my mate who I do a lot of mechanic work with aren't ones for instructions, we just have a go, what's the worst that could happen ........ Apparently in this case it's make the ESP system moan at us with its warning light...

My 182 is now a total track car and the next improvement on the list is braces. After reading around I'm going to go with a Pure Motorsport front strut brace with their solid top mounts as that seems to be by far the best for my needs however I haven't found such a solid answer with regards to...

I haven't actually tried to remove my aircon yet, but it is one of the jobs that I am doing to my 182 over the winter. I just assumed it was as simple as removing the aircon pump and all the bits that go with it and buying an aux belt for a cup... Simples! But I have just spotted threads about...

I've read around loads of threads and played around with all the sensors, cleaned the throttle body and I still can't find the answer to this so I wondered if anyone had any ideas. My car can idle fine when you start it but then give it a bit of a rev and it won't return to idle without the...

Hi All, I've searched around and read more threads than I care to think about as I try and decide what to do with the suspension setup for my 182 ff track day car. The car is hardly used on the road so I don't care about a bumpy ride, I just want to try and get the best set up I can for the...

I've totally stripped my 182 and the roll cage is fitted and the buckets seats are ready. The only decision I'm trying to make now is whether to remove the dash or not? I'm not sure whether it would just feel weird to drive a car with no dash or if for some reason it wouldn't be as safe? If...

Saw the car parked outside the David Lloyd at the meridian in Leicester. I was looking at it from inside the gym so I didn't get a close look but it looked like there was a cliosport sticker in there. Looked like a black 182 ff.

Hi Everyone, I'm hunting down another problem on my 182 and from reading around on here I'm starting to think it could have something to do with the IACV. However I have never heard of an IACV before so I don't totally understand them and I have no idea what its looks like. I assume a 182 has...

I have finally found the answer to my knocking problem (well I hope it is this). The problem now is that I now have no idea what the name of the part is that I need and where I can get it from. I've attached some links to Imageshack below to show the part I need. Its the splined tube that sits...

Hi everyone, I've read all the threads I can find on knocks, and there seems to be many, but I haven't found the answer I need yet so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. When in reverse, if you move backwards you hear a loud knock. If you stop reversing and reverse back again without...

Hi, I've just bought a 182 that needs a little bit of work. I've attached some pictures of part of the engine bay, I know from looking around on here that the injector cover is missing, and I've found one on ebay I could get hold of, but I just wanted to makesure that there is nothing else...

Hi everyone, I seem to be collecting Clio's at the minute so I thought I'd sign up after finding some great advice on here via Google. I'm restoring a Phase 1 Williams and I've just picked up a little bargain from an auction last week in the shape of a 182 with both cup packs, which needs a...
