looks great, nothing wrong with stock, keep thinking about putting mine back to stock......then re modding it all over again for about the third cycle! lol!
5 years or 72k for cambelt, dephaser is a lifetime part so provided car is properly serviced shouldn't ever need to be done.....in theory.
however I have mine coming up for second change in my ownership, oil/filter serviced every 6k miles, and still think i'll just change it again anyway for...
MOT achieved, 213837 miles
Needs a brake pipe and cat as current one about to drop off at flanges but a pass it is
Here's to the dash to moon mileage over the next 12 months
ET30 is essentially like running a 13mm spacer on all 4 corners, I would expect perhaps maybe some rear scrub but fronts to be fine. all depending on how low you take it, 'moving to coilovers' means nothing as you can run coilovers at stock height, higher or much much lower so all depends
lol thought I had put that, must of been raging too much. don't mind mods but wish people wouldn't advertise misleadingly. either means they know so little about the car they don't' care or they're lying. neither route is good when asking top dollar
TOTALLY STANDARD......bar rear lights and battery cover and wrong coolant cap and wrong side repeaters and aerial and awful steering wheel recover........
:p🤣
Mines on 213k original engine and gearbox and runs a treat still. Use it daily and occasional trackday so I'd say zero worries provided looked after and maintained well
Personal choice thing too, the 197/200 drive better really but imo the interiors are hideous and running costs are higher. I've run my 182 daily for 8 years now and wouldn't even consider changing to another Clio. If I wanted a more grown up drive, I'd buy a saab :ROFLMAO:
Cars currently in pieces on rear end to perform the hub conversion, managed to get all four bolts per side out to remove the caliper brackets. So next task is to chop that old stubs off, flatten the mating faces then drill out the bolt holes to 8.5mm and tap to m10 1.5 thread for the mk2 bolts...
Yeah the stone chips are a constant nightmare but rather use the car and enjoy it than worry too much, all about the 20ft pass 😋
No carbon badges for me I'm afraid, I like the diamonds to remain highlighted in original Renault fake chrome. Picks them out nicely imo
I'm a total carbon whore! Second time around with this car too, sold it all and then rebought and added more, it's a terrible addiction!
:ROFLMAO: yeah I guess it's had a 'new' one since. It'll be back on coilovers end of the year when the ones I've got get un-stranded from Scottish lockdown...
Rest of carbon fitted to the front bumper today and fitted up to the car. Also recoated all the dodgy bits under the front arches with the old hydrate 80.
Let that all cure overnight and I'll refit the arch liners in the morning.
Cheers
