Mr Plums Progress.. Clio 182 Turbo!

[Mr Plums]

Id like a tidy 172 cup mate, if anyone has any links, or a nice bg with cup packs.

 

[masekwm]

Get a low mile 172 cup or a 182 mate. It’ll seem slow but it’ll work and hold its money.

This, a 172 Cup with suspension & diff is cracking

 

[Clio_fool]

Always sad to see a car you've loved drive away. It looked bloody good doing it though!
Definitely consider a 172 cup. Make it mint and keep it standard and your onto a winner.

As good and as much as i love clio’s Are you not fancying something different after 5 years of ownership?

 

[davo172]

Sad day mate .
Enjoyed reading your posts on this last few years . Real shame you were never truly happy with it after the cash and time you put in to it .
Credit to you at the end thou and well done for sticking with it!
I would of killed someone and torched it a long time ago !
One of my favourite cars ever on the forum.
Hope new owner looks after it like you did.
Looking forward to your new post on the replacement , project shitter !

 

[hostler]

I really dont know mate, probably a shitter to get me to work and back until i decide. I havnt got a clue, theres no point in looking for something as quick, so itll be a nippy hatch of some sort and try make it mint.

Phase 1!

 

[Mr R.]

Phase 1!

I'd stay away, most are full of rust.

 

[Stay Puft]

[bill]

Anywhere near stock it would have no chance.

Wtf had happened there? Cam seal popped out?

Are you still getting the engine taken out?

 

[Russ]

Yup, made it to J.29 of the M1. Only had to wait the three hours for uplift......lol
Don't worry mate, its already been sorted. I'm not happy with the obvious crank pressure issue but will get it all ironed out no problem, she will be a monster. I am collecting a 172 Cup on Saturday so not fussed how long it takes to get the 182 sorted, she is only a toy :up:

Looks like it, how odd!

Fucksakes, i did tell let you know that i wasnt sure if it was breathing more heavy but i didnt have anything pop out or anything like that and it drove perfectly ensive:

 

[Russ]

Don't worry mate, it highlighted an issue and now it will get resolved #TurboCarProblems lol

 

[charltjr]

Quickest purchase to bork ever?

 

[leeds_182]

She’s cursed I tell theee.

 

[imprezaworks]

Used car niggles, be fine.

 

[Mr R.]

As I said, bottom ends fcuked. Low compression and to much crank pressure.

 

[Mr Plums]

I didnt know this was going to happen mate or i wouldnt have sold it, im not that kind of person.

Have you checked the oil mate, how much did it lose?

Hopefully its just the camseal that popped out and hasnt caused any oil starvation issues.

Well, now i look like a right ‘un’

 

[leeds_182]

Sold as seen bruv.

 

[masekwm]

Camseals don't just "pop out" it's been forced out by excessive crank case pressure, that's what was coming out of your breather.

Anyway I wouldn't worry, I'd say the bottom end needs a rebuild.

No danger mate, its not an issue, its my little project car and will be changed inside and out. It was a bargain buy, we're all good!

Sold as seen bruv.

....That kind of response is speaks volumes for personal character.....

Would have been a tounge in cheek comment mate

Not true mate. Just don't take the side skirts off or look inside the inner arch behind the rear interior cards.

 

[leedsboy]

What are the odds on that?! Very unfortunate.

Going to start a thread? @Pinchy Larou
