Acquired this 182FF from a friend last May, intending to replace my 306 as a track/hillclimb car as I was running out of patience with it. In the end, I kept the 306 so started to run the Clio as a daily.
It had a wonky, blowy exhaust - so that was replaced with a stainless Milltek. Also...

£26 delivered - genuine Magneti Marelli IWP042. Cheapest I could find when I needed some!
Pretty much a year later - since the above rounds fitted solid rubber engine mounts, Quaife ATB LSD and swapped the rank Spax RSXs for some Gaz Golds. The car feels a lot better setup now, just having some shifter issues which I'm hoping to sort in time for Round 2 in May.
With the addition of...
If you're in modified (which you will be with a turbo) you'll need a cage. There's also a 1.4x multiplier on forced induction, so you'll effectively be 2.8 ltr.
If you've played the first RDR and remember some of the funny letters, you'll cry yourself laughing at the letters in this cabin. Slightly north west of Mount Shann in Big Valley.
Anyone had a go on this? Looks to have been released fairly recently, survival type like Day-Z, seen a few streamers play, looks quite in-depth and fun if you're in a squad - horrendous if you're on your own!
Got a power problem in the 306, supposed to be 167bhp, feels more like 137. Also, turns out it's not a great idea to lift in the spot I lifted at. Got away with it...
First round a few weeks ago was cancelled due to the weather so today was Round 2, but the first of the season.
Had some running issues again in the afternoon, plus a wayward engine mount was causing the engine to move around far too much - bodge fixed with some folded up coke cans!
Practice...
Broke down quite early on with a leaky oil cooler - maybe dodgy part, maybe terrible fitting. Easiest thing to do was to rip the entire thing off. After all, hot oil has less drag and no oil cooler means about 1kg saving in oil! Car looks pretty decent out there (and not like an Indian takeaway...
So didn't really manage to do many updates, but we've now had Practice Day for the start of the season and I was beaten by a takeaway driver in a Micra!
Over the winter I swapped the heavy seats for lighter, cheap OMP ones:
Set to work ripping the front end apart to treat some rust and attempt...
Aside from the fact that I detest the VW scene, I like this a lot. Kudos! Paint looks ace - please don't ever change that shitty rear plate. :tongueout:
Do it! Very technical so good fun, not like some courses that have two corners and are 700m long. Loads of caterfields of varying build quality & engine type, capacity and aspiration.
So I'm well behind on updating this - I'm really useless at taking photos as I go. Today was my first event at Harewood, I managed to get the car finished last week, turned up early this morning with the five mile journey being the longest I'd spent in the car so far. Never driven Harewood...
