‘Claud’ The RB 182

[Advikaz]

Looks good.

When you have finished and are bored, I shall happily buy. 🥹👍

I think this may be a keeper along with the vantage.

I am pretty besotted with the little clio

 

[Daniel]

The best clio I’ve driven on the road was a flame red one I had. BC Coilovers, 20mm spacers and a RARB - it just handled so so well. I’d even argue it was comfier than a standard one. Excellent choice.

I’m really looking forward to getting everything on it😍

I missed the post on Seats, I went to Demon tweeks and sat in them all, I eneded up with the Sabelt ones for size and comfort. Plus I don't hate all the "matching" Sabelt stuff in my Baguette

Matching sabelt is a winner.

I’ve gone for Corbeau’s in the end. Matches the steering wheel colour and I’m a slut for that 🥴

 

[Anakin]

They look decent too, I don't think Demon Tweeks stocks these so havent tried them. I was set on recaros, but I didn't find them very comfortable.
I'm tinkering with the seat position atm, got a 40mm steering wheel spacer on my Xmas list

I am not usually a fan of coloured seats, but I think it'll be a nice 'lift' for the 182 interior and tie in with the wheel/paint

That’s better

Im mainly looking at the seat bolster pocket, thingy... Ive been looking for something like that for ages... shame Sparco dont make the same!

That aside they will look great in the car!

When are the seats going in? Keen to see the results!

When are the seats going in? Keen to see the results!

Hopefully early Jan.

Jan 5th
Coilovers
Camber bolts
Anti Roll bar
Hel brake lines

Hoping to have time to get the seats in as well mate.

Front end respray is happening early jan as well now due to my pal (the sprayer) being very busy.

 

[Advikaz]

Chuffed with these, picked up from @ldubl this morning (top guy). Fits me perfectly, very comfy

 

[SharpyClio]

Can confirm the bolster pockets are amazing! One of the best purchases have made 😂

 

[ldubl]

So, plans at the moment, although undecided exactly are

- full front end respray and re ceramic coated.
- got a few tiny dings getting removed in the next few weeks.
- sort the headlights out.
- clean or replace interior trims (window buttons etc (as sticky)… any recommendations?
- replace drivers inner door handle.
- carbon splitter .
- front pads and discs are brand new (Godspeed and PBS pads).
- rear pads need doing (ordered).
- braided lines (not sure on what colour?)
- oil filter (oem) and new plugs and washers.
- fluids change (thinking millers for the motor and rbf700 for the brakes as I have tonnes of it. Any gearbox oil recommendations?
- get it up on a ramp and clean and treat the underside.
- going to store the turinis and put some Speedline 2118’s on but not sure whether to go for anthracite or white ?
- decent coilovers.
- check and replace any bushes.
Full alignment with camber bolts and shims.
- Buckets.
- potentially a half cage.

Everything to be reversible and I’ll keep all of the stock items.


Any comments welcomed as always

I was looking at them the other day funnily enough. Not sure if I’d notice the weight though ….

 

[Advikaz]

I’ve got ocd. Ceramic, nano, waxed and acf50’d the coilovers today before they go on next week

 

[MrBlonde]

Nice mate,im looking to change my B14s for the BC's.What spring rate did you go for?

 

[Advikaz]

6/8 with spare (stiffer) springs for the time being

Will be installing roll centre correction kit as well. I am lucky in that my brother in law is one of the best suspension set up outfits in the country. So fairly easy for me to change anything

Nice mate,i have the roll centre kit also.I need to get mine corner weighed once i have the bc's on.

Just an update on this. Seats should be going in next week as previously mentioned.

The side mounts supplied with the seat weigh a tonne, which is a shame because the seat is feather weight. I am running some cobra side mounts instead as they are literally half the weight of the Corbeau ones

Going to put something on to cover the thread? They do sleeves iirc?

Unsure yet. Seen mixed reviews with regard to covers?

It’s not like the car will generally see bad weather and I imagine the shocks will be out half regularly anyway

Ah leave it then, I’ve heard mixed reviews also, regarding trapping the s**t in?

Ive had covers on my Ast's from new, and still looking mint when i recently had a look in. Not used in winter however but wet use in summer.

 

[Advikaz]

s**t pics of the first seat in. As it’s on the ramp

 

[Advikaz]

POV: The French hot hatch… that was purchased as a cheap winter project for a bit of fun…. Which will have cost me £10,269.62 by the end of the month 😂

 

[Advikaz]

Missed a few bits £10,294.62 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

I’ve not taken much out of mine really and had to use the Corbeau side mounts in the end that are genuinely properly f**king heavy !

Just the rear seats removed from mine, like yours.

I've got the Corbeau alloy side mounts, but just looked on their site and they don't appear to do them now

My seats came with them as part of the deal from Corbeau.


Took the opportunity to acf the underside whilst I was under it as well
