So I need some more room on the back of my Clio and have been looking at ways to narrow the rear track (I run wide wheels with a low offset) I noticed that 172 rear stub axles are about 8mm thinner each side than 182 ones. Can I just run 172 ones on my 182 therefore lowering the track by 16mm...
Can anyone tell me if this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/190949755977 is the correct engine mount people have been using with the Powerflex insert?
Thanks
In the process of building myself a little track car and want to know if I can put 172 cup headlights in a 182?
Get rid of all the xenon parts to save a bit of weight... Any ideas?
Can anyone tell me how long the standard ones are? I have fitted spacers but lost my standard ones so am going to order some nice mew high tensile ones. I know they are m10 and one m8 each side, countersunk, just need to know how long I should get?
thanks

Would adding a set of proper coil over...

Had a 172 2 years ago and tbh hated it, it wasn't in the best condition and I picked it up cheap. Ive now had my 182 for 6/7 months and I love...
Can anyone help with some advice or anything really lol.
Sometimes when I try to start my car it just keeps turning over. Then if I lock it, it beeps 4 times at me, then takes numerous attempts for the car to start.
I have also noticed when locking the car and walking away it sometimes beeps...
Had a day out yesterday in the sun with my LY and my friends RB.
Which do you prefer? I love both colours and on a sunny day blasting around the B roads id take either :)

Hi guys,
Bought myself a 172 yesterday. In silver, all stamped up with belts done etc. Lovely condition but is has no xenons? Did they make them without xenons?

Thanks

Hey,
My name is Nathan or Nate. Live near Bath and currently drive an Audi A4.

Was thinking of getting a 172 cup to blitz...
