Another annual update, not much has happened! Got the belts,dephaser etc done this summer as age wise they were due. Apart from that I have been enjoying the car in the summertime, another 2 RS meets have happened since my last post (the last one being the best turnout for the RSowners NI club...

Not really an update either but it was nice to get a meet up with the other members of the rs club, a great turnout today considering the RS scene here in NI is quite small, some beautiful examples of Renaultsports (and Alpine) turned up!

Wow, over a year since I updated this thread! To be fair not much has happened, 2020 was a year where it hardly moved at all and due to getting engaged and moving house so no money was spent on the car at all! Fast forward to now and I got the car out to enjoy this summer, and managed to get to...

Thanks, the car is far from perfect but better to get the mechanical side up to scratch as best as possible, body work can wait! Th battery cover I got from ebay here https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/uk.cla9/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= but he doesn't seem to have any left. I thought when...

That was my winter list complete, although I feel I should have changed the steering bush when I was that deep underneath. But there is always next winter! Another item I acquired was a battery cover which I feel really tidied up the engine bay, added the decal to it as well. Unfortunately all...

Managed to get a few more pieces done over winter, mainly underneath work. Decided to take the rear beam out, repaint it and fitted new poly bushes since the old ones had seen better days. I also fitted 4 new genuine shocks all round before deciding to take the sub frame out and re galvanise...

Thanks! I have tried to just make subtle changes when I can, plenty of ideas of what I want done, up next will be a bit of a suspension refresh over winter, then hopefully a steering wheel retrim along with some over interior pieces.

The guy I got them off I think will be doing them again, he was setting up his own place so was stopping for a couple of months and was trying to get rid of some stuff he had before closing, I spied them and snapped them up! He is Carbon Skins on facebook if you are interested!

Decided to take some pics of them fitted, really happy with how it 'modernises' the interior!

One of the jobs I had in mind was to freshen up the interior, and I had saw other 182s with carbon inserts so I was determined to get them, although the dash inserts were hard to find, but I saw a post on the Facebook group of someone who had made them, as well as steering wheel inserts and...

A photo back when the weather was better :(

Also got a new grille as the old one was cracked. Finally a 3/4 plate was fitted, helps the front alot imo

Another update on the clio, it's been off the road over the winter again so I had time to get some jobs done, one was tidy up the engine bay, so got the inlet manifold bead blasted and sprayed it with high temp paint and cleaned the plastic cover. I also plan on getting a battery cover and...

Well I've not really updated this thread in a while, but yet again I haven't really needed to as I put the car away before Christmas last year and used the work car during the grim winter weather, with summer now upon us, the wheels went on, quickly painted the calipers and fitted a new bonnet...

So having seen turinis on various clips and wanting them badly, I knew I needed a set at some point, but coming across a set locally here would be like hens teeth, so I’d put that out of my mind, until a newly refurbed set came up for sale not too far from me! So I bought them straight away and...

Thanks, number plates are high up on the to do list for sure!

After that I got a friend who is better at cleaning cars than myself to give the 182 a bit of a winter protection detail and restore the headlights. After the detail and just general daily duties my engine light came on, took it to Renault and it was the O2 sensor, got that replaced, then...

I've decided to start a thread here on my Arctic 182 and being a big Renaultsport fan what better place to share that than here! Anyway a bit of background info on the car so far, back in 2015 after becoming increasingly frustrated with my diesel 206 I decided that now was the right time to...
