I don't have the conversion before I order, it often happens when she signs for the box when it gets to the house!

I can't comment on how they work as I haven't driven it yet! But they quality is superb and I have yet to read a negative comment about them! They're not cheap but they don't wear and with the limited quantity of them I guess the resale value of them is high? As I say to the wife, think of...

Hubs are on, again we would like to have gone further but although the car is in a garage it is/was chucking it down making it hard work. The new discs are on and the studs were swapped over to the current hubs. Hope to get the new anti roll bar bushes on for Saturday and finish all...

So we are back to depressing car looking sorry for itself mode! All the fibreglass parts are off and waiting to be dropped off for paint and as mention before the car has no front wheel assemblies. So I thought I would get the runner gear back on last Friday. I tidied up the hubs ready...

Cheers great advice. This could have been an option last night as we had all the facilities to do this. No mater how hard I search on here (and google) not much came up on how to get them off but I presume they are the same on any mk2 clio, not just the 182?! Must be thousands out there

They are out! I can't believe how hard it was. In the end we had them in the vice and hammered from the other side. This cause the bearing skin to split by the smallest of margins to the hub. Once back in the press they started to push out at 5 tonne pressure. Thanks all for your advice Chris

Yes 😅

Help! So we're trying to change the bearings on my car before I put my new suspension setup on. We have pushed the first section but but can't get the outer 'skin' out despite using 8 tonne of pressure from a press! What are we doing wrong?! Is there a trick we are missing? Thanks in advance Chris

These arrived today, some very shiny bits attached to some very rusty bits! Can't wait to get them on as once with they are on with all the other bits around them (new brake arrangement) I can tax and insure the car! I've also just realised the engine in the car cost less than each one of...

Passenger side seat has lower outlet holes for the seat belt

A productive day again but a trip away next weekend and a busy period at work will slow things up for the next couple of weeks. The passenger door card and window are now in which almost makes the interior complete. We'll sort of! There are a few wires that need sorting out from the front roof...

Payments been made, genuinely looking forward to getting them! and then spending another night in the dark fitting them 😂

I'm on my internet bank as we speak!

Another late night on the car but we are moving steadily forward. Firstly I could look at the the new rear door cards in daylight. I'm happy with them. The first plastic window is in. I used the centre mounting bar and fixed the clip that passes through the hole on the original glass...

Another late night, I think the neighbours think I'm crazy! The wiring harness is back in and clipped in, the rear door cards are in but best of all for the first time in 5 months the car has two permantly fixed in seats! The side mounting points have been adapted so they are both on their...

Took the masking tape off of the cage. When I took it off of the gearknob the leather came off 😂 Time for the PMS upgrade I think! Also I have had a sort out of the internal wiring harness, the main reason being I don't want wires running across the car for no reason (not so much...

No worries! I didn't paint up to the masking tape. It was only there to stop drips/over spray etc. When the cage was fitted they painted a few inches around it. This made it a lot easier to pant!

One of the most tedious days of my life, masking off the cage then rubbing down the inside! However this has turned into a very satisfying day as the inside is now painted! Before- After- I used silver smooth Hammerite. Rollered the flat bits and sprayed the corners. Cost...

There are a few Clios on this video from a track day I did. There really isn't much in the 172/182. 1min 50 sec - 2min 15 sec -182 vs 172 (it was a cup) side by side. Enjoy the 172 for what it it! I have Brembo 4 pots so was always going to brake last! If the camera could turn to the right...

First time the car has been off of the ground since the cage was installed. These are in the rear wheel arches

Managed another night on the car. Attached the fibreglass boot and spoiler temporarily. Managed to fit the bonnet with aero catches. Ended up finishing this in the dark 😅 Had another Clio 182 visit ade_cx .............

This year will be track days but I hope to race next year. I have my ARDS starter package but have just changed job and have a big extension to complete this year. The Clio is staying so I'm trying to get the the right bits done to it ready for when the time comes to race. I see you enjoyed the...

Managed a little paint test tonight. I'm happy with it but I will see what it is like when's it's dry. If it looks good it's full steam ahead once all the prep work is done.

Yes it is, with no paint ATM

Managed to get a second day at the car this weekend, first up removed the electric windows and front glass Then came a scary half an hour, cutting a big hole in the roof! Measure twice but once, it all went well to be honest. The new dremel multitool came in handy. A...

Little update, new job and a stag do have slow the pace up abit. I'm aiming to get the inside finished before I make a start on the outside. The hubs aren't back so there's no rush at the moment. I've removed the bonnet and boot for easier access for to the car. I also removed the stereo to find...

Yes but it has been cut slightly on the left hand side. It's minor but hard to see in the photo.
