    Bowen's RB182

    This was the last photo I have before I spent the weekend doing all the above.

    Bowen's RB182

    Lastly for this instalment: I have this issue.... I'm having a few quotes to repair this and looking to book in ASAP. Problem is the quotes I have received range from £400 - £1700. Ending on a high, I received this message through instagram: And some pics of when it was brand new...

    Bowen's RB182

    The centre interior light was super bright and would ALWAYS bit lit. I took out this monstrosity I had a parcel arrive a little while ago from @Coops Mk1 a lovely v6 spec spoiler in RB. Sadly it arrived like this: Gutted was and still is an understatement. Credit to @Coops Mk1 for sorting...

    Long time no update. Not much has really happened, well nothing big and no track days etc. I'm having an extension built on my house, which is sapping funds and also garage space as that's where the building materials are living. Highly annoying. I've been ticking off some smaller jobs in...

    Good updates. Is that spare wheel tied down at all?

    Bowen's RB182

    Last weekend I took the RB on a track day at Llandow. Noise test at 5250k rpm was 85dbs, that's a note for me more than anything. Considering the work I've done to the Clio, it only dawned on me when I got there that I hadn't touched the brakes. They looked find and were sharp on the road but...

    Bowen's RB182

    Ever since I bought the second hand steering wheel I regretted it, no amount of cleaning it could bring it back so I bought a new one from Volantech. Some issues with Volantech, took a over a month to arrive but it got here in the end. Feels much nicer in hand. I do have the horn panel but the...

    Sounds good. Cant' really comment on response though.

    This is a great build credit to you (and with one working wrist). Also mild driveway garage envy. Time to get rid of the gravel though? I've had many a struggle working on cars on gravel. 😂 Question. The upper to lower inlet bolts, that were red. You replaced them, do you have a link to the...

    Bowen's RB182

    After all of the above bits done I wanted to refresh the suspension components. I had BC coilovers in my previous clio and I rated them. Corner weighted and set up for a mix between fast road and track. It's much improved and more direct. Sunstrip for added racecar.

    Ok, don't remove it in that case. I actually don't own this Clio anymore. Hope the new owner likes magic smoke!

    No it was dry when I parked it up, it rained and then I had a fousty smell and it was wet under the passenger seat. Doesn't seem to have done it again since.

    When I had the rear spoiler light issue on my silver Clio, I whipped out the worst looking resistor and it worked again?! Honestly. No idea how or why.

    Clio Meglio NV11 LHR

    Engine Dynamics are reputable. I'd be contacting them and asking them if they recognise the car, I'm sure they'd be able to say, at the very least what work they did to the car and when.

    It then looked like this The shifter and wheel made a huge difference but the seat was just to high and there was quite abit of movement, when braking I was almost sat on the dashboard. So I needed seats... Sourced with Jon Foz mounts. Possibly the best thing a Clio owner can do is...

    Any interest in another titanium tidy up?

    Not going to start offering this service are you? 👀

    Just read this thread. Seeing those rear lights, I feel a sense of cleanliness, like I've had a shower with that minty shower gel. Much better. Good job turning this around.

    Bought this about 2 months ago. Can't seem to find anything on Cliosport about it but assume previous owners would be on here.

    Bowen's RB182

    Following on from the drive shaft I did an oil change and some other maintenance bits. Now most of the general maintenance bits were (are they ever done on a clio?), I decided to make it a bit more mine. I sourced some wheels and tyres. The only issue, they were blue, very blue, almost...

    Hope so. I did cover this in one of the Bilethamber products to stop it progressing further. I'm thinking over winter drop it to my chosen body shop and have them sort it properly.

    (aaaanndd...) Another thing all my previous Clios have suffered from is the engine block tearing through the inner driver CV boot spraying grease everywhere See where the block has rubbed through the boot Driveshaft out, block grinded back and replaced with a J&R driveshaft (Clio purists...

    Bowen's RB182

    Forgive me? So I got the Clio home and gave it a strip down Inc the sills, a check over and and oil change. There is some bubbling coming through, something I'll deal with in the future. This is the first clio I've owned with a standard wheel and seating position, jesus, felt like...

    I know. When people say "oh you'll regret it", selling a clio, yeah you really will.
