Right then... I bought my last 182 off a mate who was going through a bad patch and needed to make some sacrifices. I listed my silver 182 for sale (in a moment of madness) and the mate I bought it off was in a position to buy it back. He was quite emotional and I knew it was the right thing to...

:censored:👀

D Day... Patiently waiting outside And we're up...... Gulp.... Taaadaaaaa.... That'll do pig!

Time to update, not that there's much to update, this thread. Not used the Clio over winter, nor the M3. I acquired a MK4 Golf PD150 to smoke around in. Contemplated selling the Clio briefly. Lack of use and space, meant it was on the chopping block. Quickly came to my senses and built another...

Spotted yesterday. I was there on a photography job, took some photos of it. Would have said "Hi" but you were at the burger van quite a while......

Ha. Small world. Got a thread for the new track toy? Yep, Golf R Estate gone and the replacement daily is here...

After all of the above I took the Clio out for a spin.

Recently sold my daily... So the Clio was/is being used as a daily for the time being. The previous knocking which I thought was the exhaust hanger, well it wasn't. After fitting the Pro-am hanger supports, the knocking was still there and REALLY obvious. Like a wheel was loose. I noticed...

Would also be interested in this track day. Be good to get a few Clio's together before the bad weather really sets in.

New exhaust hanger supports arrived today from Pro-am. Great quality product and very reasonably priced too. On the hunt for A MAP sensor. I assume everyone will say buy genuine but before I do is there another brand or somewhere to source a decent MAP sensor?

I've been meaning to do this for a while but I couldn't bring myself to pay so much for a tiny piece of plastic and the postage be half the price of the item..... I cannot tell you the satisfaction seeing that piece of plastic fitted and the ugly whole gone brings me. Sad but true.

After... Looks a bit better. Need to do the throttle body and replace the map sensor I snapped.

I'm in between jobs, well using up all my annual leave before starting my new job, so trying to keep myself busy. Thought I'd give the Clio's engine bay a spruce. Before Apologies the images are huge...

Name change as I post more about the Clio than I do about my daily Golf R estate. @its.bowz

Seems you finished my sentence... I meant to say "which.... are pretty much on my doorstep!"

Missus took the daughter to the in laws and I "didn't have to go if I didn't want too". So I spent the afternoon zipping around the Brecon Beacons which. More @its.bowz on instagram.

Just seen it sold. I await updates on the clubsport net. Looks so good.

Lovely updates as always. The JMRS induction kit, is it for sale? *vulture circles

Great start. Nice small steering wheel and the interior is pretty much done...unless you opt for harnesses in the future.

Chonki Boy. Love a meaty tyre. Nice and purposeful. Only thing grating me is the shopping list on the rear window but what do I know.

Just seen the photos on IG with the wheels on..... Awaits update.

Love this. Been following you for a while on IG didn't realise the ammount of work that had gone in to this so glad you've done a build thread. Few questions. Where are you based and can I get some friends like yours..... Also love Guesswork. 👌🏻

Great updates. I tried lowering my steering wheel and I just couldn't get on with it. The wheel seemed to block the speedo and rev counter for me, so I removed it. That said I do have a (smaller) sabelt wheel. That engine looks lovely and clean.

Don't know if it helps but the top of mine IS plugged in and I don't have an EML.

Thanks mate. Currently fitting a stud and nut kit and sat in the garage having a brew. Yeah carbon canister is gone but the but at the top is plugged in? I assume to stop and engine light coming on.

I've not actually driven it since removing it. I did however remove it from my previous 182 and noticed that absolutely nothing changed. So take from that what you will. Mine is a Cup and is/was present. Previous 182 wasn't a cup and again it was there. I'm lead to believe its a counter...

Oh and I took some pics to celebrate.

Lastly and most recently. I replaced the Orange indicators with silver tech ones, don't worry that's not the update. While I was doing this, one thing lead to another and I ended up removing the chunk of metal that sits below the engine mount. Fair bit of weight to this. Which then lead...

While pulling my hair out (I've literally none left) trying to figure out the above issue I turned my attention to something that had been bothering me. The unpainted PMS shaft. Before During After (not the best pic but its satin black) Small change but big difference.

Update. A little while back I lost the third brake light, I've no idea how. We'll, I have an idea and it involves my own stupidity. Anyway. I did some deep investigation, taking the spoiler off, brake light out and the circuit board off the back. Just to test if I had an actual feed to the...
