LOVE this car.

Car's still looking great mate! How are you finding the sachs?

It looks to me like a write off.

Such a shame! They looked bloody mint as well.

Glad it's all being sorted. Dodgy bits aside the car looked lovely when I popped up the other day

I'd happily pop along - mine has probably spent enough time on the dyno lately though!

I don't actually know - quite a lot I would imagine. It's a really quick car now. Circa 300bhp per ton.

There isn't much in it ime. The mazda is a bit quicker, but a 182 will keep up.

I am! It's a 6 speed box from the VW family - renowned for being quite strong. Usually attached to the 20v turbo as far as I am aware. Ha ha, thanks mate. This ^

It would be good mate. That's an offer I can't refuse!

Thanks mate :D I am not unfortunately - I wasn't sure if the car would be ready, so I left it too late to book. I could come along and watch though I suppose? Thanks chap!

I am going to try for a little while at least! (Probably )

You do talk nonsense sometimes.

Still have mine. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/georges-turbo-182.715225/

Thanks mate :D Aside from regular and preventative maintenance, I won't be doing anything else to it! Just going to enjoy it now!

I think the ratios are pretty much perfect, plus it's comforting to know that using the loud pedal doesn't automatically mean the gearbox will implode.

An entertaining drive back! I absolutely love it: the noises it makes, the way it piles on speed (which is absurd frankly), the fact that you can drive around in (almost) as much comfort as a regular 182 and the luxury of having 6 speeds with an LSD. Also - surprisingly good on fuel, I am on...

Alpine CDE-173BT

Bloody excellent stuff! Glad it's all working out.. Bet it's nippy!

Great turnaround!

Thanks mate. That's one of the reasons I am getting it tomorrow - I was trying to dodge the worst of the weather! I'll be taking it very gently. Very.

It certainly has done the last 10 weeks or so! The big collection day is tomorrow (yes I know I have said this before - but it's actually happening tomorrow) Mapping is finished and all the little niggles have been ironed out. It's a healthy 330bhp and 297lbft now, which should make for an...

You do have that option...

They won't fit.

I loved them all - apart from the M3! Harris' enthusiasm is infectious. Brilliant.

It sounds like there is air in the coolant system... You REALLY need to get it sorted.

Great project thread and some lovely additions. That's s lovely little Clio you have there mate

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it now mate. I am still clio-less, which is annoying. We'll have to drive up together next time chap. This is still going ahead though!

Last bump for tomorrow.
