Morning all
As some of you are already aware I have now started a company supplying performance parts for Renault's and many other cars.
My premises is located in Basingstoke in Hampshire just off of the M3 and I share a unit with X Sport Racing who are a well established race prearation...

[-X :shock:
£20K for a clio !! :?
Saw a very nice And very low trophy junction 14 of the M11. I'd really like to know what suspension you got as it looked awesome.
Thanks for the wave!
Like a gormster I always react too late. Never had one going in the same direction as me before.
As you guys know i've been having some problems with 224 recently, mainly with the nearside front. Found out today that that particular damper has had it. Can push the car down with ease but the drivers side is still fine.
I have seen that I should look at getting some other suspension bits...
I am trying to change rear discs.... Got the new ones at Unipart but they didn't give me the bearings... How does all this work??
Do I buy new ones and get them fitted by someone with a press?
or
Use the old ones... How do I get them out the old ones.... do I need a press?
You guys know what...
Over the last few weeks I've noticed a noise coming from the front right of the car when I'm turning in to the left. I wouldn't describe it as a 'knock', it's more of a 'whump-whump-whump' if that makes any sense (it does in my head at least).
My first instinct was a wheel bearing on it's way...
right here is a list of what needs doing
cambelt and auxiliary belt with tensioners ( with 36k sevice)
refurbish dampers
bonnet respray and other plastics include door handles( anything pink)
full set of new pe2s
all alloys to be refubished
think thats it, now a list of parts im going to...
Hi everyone,
I have a question on the whole suspension setup that I'm hoping that someone can help me with;
What parts are there that wear out?!
It is kind of hard to explain how my car does not feel as it once did, perhaps the best explanation is that i feel a little bit of a shudder through...
Looking to get a set of dampers ready to send the Sachs away for a refurbishment.
What do I need for the standard clio spec front suspension to go straight on?
Dampers, Springs, Top mounts . . . will the collar that holds the sring on the top under the top mounts change over the standard...
Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months.
Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...
Has anyone read this months EVO?
In the fast fleet section there is a write on how much all of Harrys cars cost him for servicing etc and apparently he has just had the cambelt done on the Trophy and it cost him £1206.55!?! Apparently more than his 550 Marrenello!
He obviously doesnt come on...
What is there that should be replaced on the front suspension assembly same time when getting the dampers refurbished?
Rubber mounts etc. Anyone got renault part numbers?
Hi guys,
Am in the process of removing my dampers and I cant get the top nut to budge at all. Sprayed it with WD40 but still no luck. If I was to put the jack under the disc with the car on axle stands would this take some of the pressure off the nut making it easier to undo? Or should I...
I need to put 182 front suspension on as a stop gap while my Sachs are being serviced.
Has anyone got any or know the best place to get some?
Don't make me have to have a look on Cliosport :D
Cheers, Max.
ETA - There are some on Ebay for £40 each, does that sound about right?
Hi, Can you change the headlights on our cars to the xenon headlight unit on the clio 182. im looking at buying a pair of xenon 182 headlights for my car. Could you let me know
Thanks
Hi everyone, i have recently been getting a squeeking sound from what i think is the passenger top mount / all the way down to the wheel ( i cannot pin point where the noise is).
It happens when its dry as when its raining the noise goes away so all i can presume is that something needs...
I believe you can get a (?) mechanical Quaiffe diff fitted to a 182...? Around £1000 fitted. Meant to be a very useful mod.
Has anyone got any experience/knowledge?

Hi,
quick question about the rear suspension?
i believed it was just standard cup chassis suspension, however looking at the old shock it says made by sachs,
can someone give me some info please?
Thanks
Darren
I'm after some 182 Cup front dampers + springs as i've just taken the sachs ones off for a refurb (many thanks BenG)
Unfortunately there is a 4 week wait now at BG Motorsport for refurbs so I could do with some standard suspension so I can at least use the T

Andy
