So, thought id post a little update since the purchase of my 182 a month ago. I have been waiting to sell another car and make some space, but now thats done and the clio has gone from hiding in my garage to being taxed and insured, and now my daily driver. I don’t do many miles (4k) in a year so hopefully she will serve me well and get some much needed attention along the way.
First job was to take out the non res section on the Miltek. It was just too boomey for me. Had to cut away the old clamp from the cat and get a new one from Kam racing. Fitting the resonated section was hard going, as it just wouldn’t push home into the rear box. After much swearing i removed the back box as well to find the sleeve on the rear box wasn’t 100% round- clamped up too tight methinks…. I ended up taking it to a local exhaust firm at Risby who kindly reformed it and supplied new clamps as well. Got it all fitted and my word it is so much more bearable inside!
Underside has had a jetwash so i can see what im dealing with and a general inspection. Usual rust around the fuel cap but nothing concerning… for nearly 20 years old its pretty good!
The car only came with 1 working key. Rather than mess about with key cutters and local programers i just went to renault. New key ordered for £165. Thought that was decent.
Few snaps, more to come when i have time!
