    That same old spring rate conversation

    I am currently running with Spax RSX, they are decent but they're my first ever coilovers so can't compare them to too much. The spring rates are apparently 340lb/230lb ish which, from going on track a hand full of times, I have decided are just too soft for a track car, however probably very...

    Unstable steering at speed

    My car wonders left and right on the road, almost feeling like the tracking is being knocked out with different cambers of the road. I have replaced inner tie rods, track rod ends and 3 different mechanics have told me my ball joints are fine, my tyre has outer wear although it has been tracked...

    Hub nut wont go back on

    Cut a long story a bit shorter, attempting to change ball joints and my passenger side driveshaft came out, spilling the gearbox oil everywhere, then I put it all back together, put another 3L of gearbox oil in and turns out the gaiter wasn't on properly gearbox side so it spilt another 3L of...

    Dodgy/unstable steering, changed inner track rods and ends

    I bought my 182 last Thursday and proceeded to sorting out all the little bits it needed. The tracking was definitely out and the steering felt dodgy at times so I wanted to refresh the front suspension and make it feel fresh. When changing the track rod ends at the wheel alignment centre, we...

It started misfiring like crazy so I changed the spark plugs and it decreased it. Not many miles were done from September to May but I got the car MOTd and now it's running again...

    Cutting aftermarket lowering springs

    I recently installed aftermarket FK 60/40 lowering springs with upgraded shocks but the front isn't as low as i would like it to be. I was wondering if i should cut the front springs a little to get it slightly lower at the front? I'm thinking an inch off the coil or something? I would want it...

    1.2 PH1 MTV - My minimalist project

    Ever since being a little kid, I've always absolutely loved Clios, always been a fan of them and always will be. So I turned 17, passed my test and set out to buy a Clio. I wanted a Black 1.2 Ph3 Dynamique or something similar. Bearing in mind I didn't have a job, was still in school and didn't...

    Spacers

    I recently bought some 20mm spacers for my Ph1 Mk2 clio but at their arrival i realized they were lug centric. I'm not too sure to what extent they are safe to put on my car, any thoughts? If not, anybody know where i can buy a set of cheap hub centric spacers, preferably around 20mm thick...

    Left indicator stops when using the brake

    When I press the brake and indicate left, the indicators fully stop until i've stopped braking. Also the fog light slightly shows on the dash when i press the brake. Looked online and found that it should be earthing to the rear light so i took the light off and found that one of the cables had...

    Blue MK2 PH1 - what colour should I spray my rims?

    I have a "metallic blue" Clio 1.2 MK2 PH1 with the rims in the image below. I am going to be plasti-dipping them and I am torn between painting them black or white, what do you think? Ignore anything else on the car, just looking for advice on the rims! Thanks!
