    exhaust bore???

    2.5=more power 2.25=less power (on a 182 anyway, not sure about 172)

    Fair play to you mate. Best of luck for the season, I bet you are wetting yourself with excitment! Car looks absolutely spot on btw.

    Decat/Sensor Question.

    Ive cut the wires to mine (2nd lambda) and not had any EML lights on in 2 months and 3000 miles with the DeCat.

    The Watering Can Mod - GhettoMod Brake Ducts... Because Race Car!

    I like it. I'm gunna try and do the same with mine, although I might see if I can squeeze this little abortion in somewhere behind the covers to deflect the air:

    Next car a RS 197/200 or 225?

    The off the shelf ones are just plug and play, complete with the Renault connectors. Not cheap though, over £150 for about a tenners worth of components. Sorry for spamming the thread OP.

    Next car a RS 197/200 or 225?

    You can buy them on ebay (or make them for about a fiver), surprised K-TECH dont market their own version. Its a little black plastic box containing a differential amplifier that connects between your throttle pedal and the ecu. Basically gives the same response as a throttle cable. Drove a...

    Next car a RS 197/200 or 225?

    Its a shame about the throttle response (I know you can fit a signal amplifier to eliminate this though). I suppose they set the peddles up so you can only flick your heel accross under VERY hard braking on the race track. I find 182 is the EASIEST car in the world to do heel and toe, really is...

    Next car a RS 197/200 or 225?

    Agree 100%. I blip all the time, love the cool sound it makes. Gearbox feels solid as a rock, just changed the oil and let everything warm up nicely before giving it some. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OONBWKtWaw8 OP, Having driven all of them I would go for the 200 all day long: best...

    Abit angry/very annoyed.

    I advised against the Machine Mart kit purely down to cost and durability. The heli-coils have a habit or failing, either due to vibration or just when you come to your next plug change. £50 quid now might turn into another £50 in a couple of weeks time. I have used a company local to me in the...

    Abit angry/very annoyed.

    You sure its bust the threads? If 3 were loose its because they were not done up tight enough to seat the crush washers. That kit from Machine Mart wont work, get someone out from an engineering firm who knows what they are doing.

    Best place for tyres

    Find the cheapest price for tyres only online (camskill et al) and kwik fit will match it ;)

    Laser Wheel Alignment

    I think they have a steering wheel position sensor which may be why the lights are on. If not then they have damaged somthing. If someone thinks its acceptable to leave your car like that after doing a simple job like tracking, you should not let them near the car again. If your near...

    How to change ball joints ona 182 Cup ?

    12mm for a 182 cup. No problem getting the 10mm and drilling them out though.

    182ff- fit sportlines or keep standard?

    lol, that "shabby" exhaust mount was made by me as a quick fix when I was fabricating the exhaust. Just got a big old rubber mount and cable tied it in there. Not forking out top brass for the renault shite what will last 5 minutes :rasp:

    Rear Near Side Brake Seizing/Sticking

    If thats for the caliper, discs (complete with bearings and abs rings), pads and everything then its probly in the right ball park. You cant tell if the caliper is really seized or not unless you whip the pads out and try working the piston in and out a bit. + you might not need the discs...

    182ff- fit sportlines or keep standard?

    I agree, I think mine is about 1 mm lower at the back and about 15mm at the front lol. I guess eibach are worried about people knackering the standard dampers up.

    182ff- fit sportlines or keep standard?

    Just done a track day with mine on Sportlines and new rear dampers. It felt good actually. I think they are perfect for fast road. And as Jon_182 says the stance is better. The main benefit ive felt is that the car doesnt dive and lurch around under braking anywhere near as much. Ive put a...

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    I think he was saying somthing along those lines, yes. They would have to be inspected with a fine tooth comb. The one at renault leicester is mint, the front tyres have virtually no wear and the same goes for the brake pads (always a good sign I guess). Edit to say: it also has the black roof...

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    Sadly according to Renault Birmingham there arent even any pre-reg cars available. Just second hand with 5000 miles. Like you say, still a good saving.

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    Just to follow up on this... Those who have paid full whack for a 200 can rest easy in their beds; and may or may not wish to respond to this post with lots of smug "I told you so" or "why didnt you read the web page properly" comments :rasp:. I guess I just got excited when I saw "£3000...

    You would if you were passionate about cars (and sad) like me :cool:

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    Will do pal. Theres gotta be some deals on these things. Renault are churning the f**king things out night and day. There are car parks full of em at Southampton Docks and there are cars sitting on dealers forcourts with 61 reg plates on them and zero miles on the clock. Starting to sound like...

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    lol, I meant the kind of dirty that makes you want to have a tommy tank :cool:

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    If they are ex-display pre-reg (ie less than 100 miles) and they offer the full new car package and warranty I shall be having one. Dirty Dirty cars, love em!

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    So it does. Dont you think its slightly strange that it doesnt say anything about that in the advert and they are quoting the new car price to compare the saving? Just marketing techniques I guess. I'll give em a bell tomorrow and see what the deal is.

    Amazing deal on a 200, surely this cant be true?

    Just saw this, it must be for a second hand car surely. http://www.renaultretail.co.uk/cars/nearly-new/Renault%20Sport/

    Twingo 133 Detail. It's also for sale...

    Looks like new again bud. These are great little cars, better chassis than the 1*2 in my opinion. Had a good blast in the old mans Silverstone 133 and was well impressed.
