As above. EBC don’t exactly have the best rep when it comes to pads but these seem to be a totally different ball game and totally different to anything EBC have done before. Anyone have any feedback on them yet and how they compare to the competition? I’m running Pagid RS29 and want more...

Minter… if you like that sort of thing. 😉 https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110238827114?atmobcid=soc3

So I'm guessing there are still a good few of us who use their Clios on the road and even some like me that use it as a daily driver. A couple of threads recently have gotten me thinking into adding some (reasonably) lightweight sound deadening to try and make the little Clio a bit more refined...

All, Guessing this will mostly be the rally/race guys and chances are you wouldnt be able to tell anyway due to the nature of your vehicles use. But ive just fitted a PMS sumpguard to my road car, its not fauling the engine or transmission, yet ive a significant increase in cabin vibration...

All, Weighing up some exhaust options at teh mo and getting a bit bored of the agro of dealing with folk on the continent. I'm tempted to buy an off the peg system and be done with it, cheaper, less agro blah blah. Can those who have the PMS system on their 182 please post some photos, videos...

Guys, Can anyone clear this up for me. Im looking at buying a brand new set of Speedline Turinis bu these are NLA from Renault. However they are available off the peg from PMS and the likes. I have heard the Renault diamond Turini centre caps wont fit in the non Renault Speedlines, Is this...

Experience with brake pads, talk to me. I don’t hoon about regularly on the road, but I do want significantly more performance than I currently have if possible. (Holy grail I know) Requirement: • Offer significantly more performance than Ferodo DS2500. • Non corrosive dust. • Will not...

Where’s my caster? Okay, so I’m wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. Basically my car has a lot less caster than I expect it should have. I’m lead to believe they should run around 3.10 degrees of static caster from the factory, of which I’ve seen plenty of cars running. My car...

Guys, Can anyone confirm this is the correct radiator for my 182 FF? It states the part numbers match, but when I enter my registration it says “part not comparable” Can anyone confirm for me that this is correct...

Guys, Can anyone quickly tell me the nut torque for the strut top? The large 24mm strut securing nut Not on the PMS site from what I can see. Thanks.

Question for those running RCK on your hubs and most notably the original @NorthloopCup / BigAsh kits. Has anyone run these on a daily driven vehicle, and how have they faired in terms of bearing life/corrosion. I run a full spherical bearing setup on the front of my Cayman R but this does...

Hey all, I’ve finally got around to having a look at what’s involved in fitting my Recaros into the Clio. I’m using the following: Recaro Pole Position ABE seats. Recaro double locking runners Recaro alloy side mounts Jon Fos Xlow Seat bases. Now has anyone got this setup in a Clio they...

Quick question guys. Those of you running the PMS topmounts/strut brace setup. Do they rattle at all? Increased NVH? I’ve had numerous spherical bearing topmounts on cars, some high end and silent for years. Others rattle and knock from day one due to poor bearings/design. So got binned...

Ladies & gents, Does anyone have a colour code for the OEM trophy Speedlines? Assuming its different to the OEM Cup chassis wheel colour? I want to swap my wheels to anthracite and have subsequently purchased 4 new OEM Trophy centre caps with a view of getting my gloss black Turinis done in...

Anyone on here? Looks and sounds lovely.

Tempted by a wheel swap on my Inferno 182. Had the gloss black on there forever now and tempted by a colour swap on them to anthracite/silver. This got me looking at anthracite 2118s, however i'm not sure if they look a bit pants on cars as high as mine. I've no immediate intention to fit...

All, Anyone have any experience with these? I want to refresh my rear bushes and seen nothing but poor quality and fit from the Powerflex ones. Do I go Whiteline or just fit some genuine OEM items?

Question for anyone running a BMS shifter NOT PMS. Is anyone running one of the BMS shifters with the OEM cat in place? I'm told they drop down quite a bit under the car and are very close/foul the OEM cat. Can anyone please confirm for me. Yes I've asked Ash who makes the BMS and i believe he...

Wanting some fixed buckets specifically for my road car to be used with a 3 point belt. Anybody have experience of either the above seats or even better both seats?

Ladies & gents, Anyone know of any deals on some new Cup2s going at the moment? Mine are on their way out for road use. Black Circles is the best I've found so far: 235-35-19 = £198.95 265-35-19 = £262.09 Making a set of 4 £933.58 inc £11:50 delivery. Worth asking incase anyone can help :)

Seen this young lady twice recently now. Driving a black 1*2 with a pair of bucket seats in. Drivers seat is of head restraint design. Pretty girl, cool car, what’s not to like?

After buying back my old 182, the gearknob had lived a good life but looking less than its best after 114k miles of fun. I did this earlier and took some photos, so decided to put together a little guide if anyone else fancies doing the same. Tools required: - New gearknob - Renault Part number...

Not sure if anyone else has seen one of these yet, but i am so impressed by it, I felt the need to share. I recently fitted a new prototype Poly dogbone from PhillipM. This is really quite impressive, much improved gear selection and control of the engines torque reaction. However absolutely...

Morning all, So many threads on here about track cars and race style parts, because lets be honest. The Little 1*2s make for a superb track day machine in any spec. Yet not all of us have our Clios as track cars. With that in mind, what mods would you fit to your perfect road car? Many of you...

As above, Stock daily driven 182, now covered 73K on the OEM exhaust. To be fair theres nothing wrong with it, yet. However im aware it wont last forever. Im leaning towards the BTM item as it looks better quality, but is the Pure system better? Anyone own either care to share your thoughts?

Hey chaps, Just a quickie, i have read many stories of the outter CV boot clips snapping and the boot lunching the CV grease all over the show. Mine too have done the same, it seems many replace these with a jubilee clip instead. Can anyone tell me what size clip i need without me having to...

Hey guys, Some of you know i work at the Ford R&D Technical Centre in Dunton, Essex. As you can imagine im one of a few hundred car mad petrolheads working there every day. Many of which like me have their own ideas of motoring nirvana of all shapes and sizes. Some are modern performance cars...

Well guys its been a good 4 years since ive taken any photos of the car other than her build thread. We've all had a tough time with the lack of summer this year so with the rarity of the sun shining this morning i took the car out for a drive and got some photos. Some of you will know the car...

Thought id share some of my snaps from Saturdays Goodwood Festival of Speed. I go every year and never tire of experiencing the sights and sounds these amazing cars and bikes. Nice to see some old favourites, some of which i had to get some pics of myself with, inc Rod Millens 1000+bhp Pikes...
