    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    Thanks to a few people on here and through Instagram I managed to adjust the camber/castor. I've done it myself for now until I've found somewhere that can do a proper geo setup close to home. I couldn't resist taking it out for a spin... Really pleased with the ride quality on the BC's...

    On the subject of coilovers.... How do I adjust the camber and caster on the BC's? I know I have to move the all bolt top mounts in/out wards but the strut top isn't a circle its oval, so it won't move around?

    Not really had chance to drive them hard, just plodding up to C&M. Now I have the Coilovers fitted, soon as I have an alignment done I'll be able to give you a better opinion.

    Yesterday a mate and I set about fitting the Coilovers. It was one of those jobs on a car that you think will take 2/3hrs....but ended up taking 6hrs. Front driver side came off nice. I went to make a brew and my mate (Liam) came running in with a sheepish look. "you need to come look at...

    Rusty’s Titanium 182 take 2!

    Great updates as always. Although the seats are "a done thing" they just work so well and suit it perfectly. Can I ask where you got your resistor from and did it come prept in the yellow shrink?

    BC DS coilovers arrived next day delivery from @Kamracing cannot fault the service at all. Coilovers look the business. Hopefully fitting this weekend. I choose 8kg/8kg as that seems to be the middle group between a b road blast and a track day. Time will tell. As previously mentioned I...

    Farmers Fayre/Caffeine & Machine Meet 2!

    I'll be there. After the success and feedback from the last caffiene and machine meet, I was wondering if anyone would like me to take some proper photos of their cars? Say 10 photos of your car, you'll receive the high res copies etc £10. All of which I will donate to charity? Does CSOS...

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    I'd like to think so. I had a delivery message from KAM/DPD saying delivery tomorrow! Went for 8kg F/R which I think is standard so maybe they have them in stock ready to go. I'll get them on this weekend if that's the case! Then I'm contemplating a half cage, possibly. It's amazing how...

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    Now the tracking was sorted I started using the Clio a little bit more to see if/what more niggles it had. Apart from the decat bodge, rattling heat shield and the really rattley PMS it went and stopped really well. A few more pics Then back home to start more tinkering.... Headlight...

    Caffeine & Machine Meet Up 2021

    Morning all, Thanks for arranging the meet. Had a great time! Can we wear name badges next time, I just can't face walking up to people as calling them by their user name "oh hi, you must be RB182TURBOBOI" Anyway, here is a selection of my photos, I'll upload more soon. Give my media page a...

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    Thanks both, I've got an Instagram page for my photography work, although it's taken a backseat for a while. However taking the photos of the Clio made me realise how much I enjoy it. Its @bowz_media if anyone wants to see more. I'll be at caffeine and machine meet. I'll bring my camera and...

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    After having all of the bits done and the alignment sorted I took it out for it's first proper spin in my ownership. Pleased to say it is awesome. Rattling heatshield and the heatshield under the shifter tower needs reinstating as it's no there. Slight blow on the exhaust. I also do a bit of...

    Bowen's 182 pt.2

    After fitting all of the above parts, and counting the threads of the inner tie rods the tracking was way, way out. I couldn't make it down my street without the steering wheel fighting me and the tyres sounding like I was a champion drifter. Nursed it home, licked my wounds and went to insta...

    Just took it down the road. I may, no I HAVE, messed up. So the tracking is way, way out. Car is crabbing down the road and tyres are screeching at 5mph...... Ughhh.
