I decided to remove the pin from the dampers today. After doing some research from various 'Damper pin removal mod' posts I thought id give it a go. I did the drivers side no problem but when i came to do the passengers side the grub screw would not move, i tried some WD40 but it never worked...
Yesterday morning i levered myself out of bed at 5.30 to make the 80 mile trip to Mark Fish to get;
Goodridge Braided brake hoses,
Pagid RS4-2 pads
Brembo Max discs
Combrake solid top mounts fitted
Sachs dampers unpinned
And camber (2 degrees) and alignment (10 minutes) dialed in...
Well, to start with it's amazing what you learn and quickly forget.... For about 10 minutes this morning everything to do with Suspension settings was crystal clear. Now though i can't remember anything other than the tit bit's i've spent months pondering from George, Donkey etc on here...
Thought I'd share these with you lot. Took them down at Pembrey last Sunday. Comments welcome!
Anyone know anything about the Clio? It was seriously rapid!

Been reading a few old threads about getting a induction kit fitted then having to get a remap?
I was told ages ago that the standard ECU is self teaching up to a certian point, obviously if your fitting exhaust etc you would need a map but just 4 induction kit i dont think so.

Is it possible to do a straight swap for the FF's interior light, which (I believe) has a map light built-in to it? I'm doing a navigational rally tomorrow night and have just had to rig up a load of cardboard and masking tape to shield the light from my side of the car... :lol:
If anyone...

Sold my Subaru a while ago now and decided to look for a 182, got 6k together to find one. I have seen a few around that price.
My question is should i just borrow some money and just buy a Trophy. Are Trophys a better drive than the 182.....

I've had the car 3 days now, and done about 400 miles...It really is fantastic and I see why someone has termed the car 'Super Mario Kart'.
However, at the risk of sounding like a whinging so and so, my back and legs haven't stopped aching. After about 20 mins in the Clio I begin to get...
About time I changed the orange indicators, but cant work out the code from the phillips web site, anyone remember what the correct code is...........PY21W or WY21W?

Hello all, a merry christmas to you!
I treated myself to a little present today, well you have to treat yourself now and again I suppose and I got carried away what with the time of year and all.
After looking at a number of 182's I thought sod it and went for the ultimate version. I'm...
Ok this is quite interesting (i think anyway)
So what is my dream next car?
And what's yours?
I'm not talking supercars, but in the real world what are you thinking of getting next.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better secure the interior door panels to stop them vibrating every time you turn the stereo above 1 decibel?
I had the same problem with my Mk.1 172.
Good old Renault build quality.
Hello All,
I am a Renault hot hatch enthusiast. I used to own a Williams and a Trophy and have just finished with an R27 Clio F1 for 3 days.
I used to bang on and on about how great these cars were. They are and I still do. But just to clear things up, the Clio F1 is simply awesome too...
When Clarkson was putting the old CTR on the track against the new one.
Wasn't too surprised that the old one trounced it, because when I had a quick look at one the other day, it looked a bit podgy. I wonder how the Trophy would compare in comparison. Would be fairly interesting to see as...
Drivers side wiper has given up the ghost so I need a new one - a mate of mine mentioned something about "Aero" wipers that feature on Lupo's, meant to be much better than the standard ones but he was not sure if they will fit a Clio.
Any one know what he is on about or can recommend a...

Hi everyone!
As some may remember, I was in the market originally for a 993/996. Unfortunately in the interim I've bought another flat which means that my budget has been reduced a bit :(
