My son had an EP3 and every time I drove it I commented on the steering. It reminded me of my Kia Pro_Ceed GT which had electric PAS and was fine on the roads, but on circuit felt vague - like steering a boat. And every time I looked in the rear view mirror there seemed to be a Clio sitting on...

Makes sense. Certainly less 182's, about especially in the TDT over the last few years, and spare parts are getting a lot harder to find and expensive too.

Started reassembling the front dampers and finished off the brake calipers. Totally rebuilt the calipers with new seals, pistons, bolts and HEL stainless steel bleeders. Hate the factory ones as they’re so soft. Gave the springs some anti-corrosion treatment, some extra layers of paint and...

Yeah. Learned so much from doing the BG, that I'm just going to be more efficient with this one. No point in going over the top where i don't need to.

Nothing special here but an update nonetheless. Sorting through the parts I’m keeping and restoring to a decent standard. Again, finish isn’t the priority on these parts as it’s not a show car and will be in daily use. But they’re well protected against corrosion which is what counts. I was...

And @Sanj16 has a new one for £200 and a few other used ones for £15 also

Glad I could help. Also K-Tec racing are selling brand new TB’s for a touch over £200 so check them out 😊

Began stripping out the suspension today. Everything came off pretty easily as I suspect the parts have been recently replaced in the last year or so. I’ll be replacing pretty much everything with genuine parts and bolts, except the springs and hubs which I’ll refurbish. Got both sides...

Have a look on K-Tec Racing website at the 750 MC 182 championship regs. Some good information in there on what you’ll need to do to build a decent circuit car. Trackday Trophy website has similar information as I’m sure there’s many others.

For that kind of budget I’d just do what was suggested above and take a standard car, do the belts £600 ish, stick some decent track tyres on like AD08Rs, NSR etc..PBS Pads and put it on circuit then go from there. Baffled sump won’t be necessary. Then if you get the bug, start buying better...

I think I’d rather put a 5-6k Clio into the barriers than that beauty. Plus a properly set up Clio 182 in the right hands will more than hold its own on a circuit.

I’d go for a proper dedicated set up as they’re pretty good standard on circuit but you’ll soon find yourself over driving it as the more track orientated Clio’s go past you. Happy to send you info on mine, not for sale by the way, but I’ve got a couple of road going 182’s and a dedicated 182...

Looks nice and tidy. Welcome!

😳 Crikey that’s commitment. Got any pics or a thread on it?

Yeah it’s split. I’ve packed it with grease so it’ll be right. Yeah coolant bottle makes all the difference

2 weeks and 400 miles later after fixing the oil leaks/cleaning the engine, it was time to check if my work was up to standard. Super happy to see no leaks and the last major milestone complete for this project. So that’s pretty much it for this car, just general maintenance to do. Only...

We all managed 130 + mph in our Clio 182’s on the Autobahn when we went to the ring. I was in my race car, no interior, no sound proofing, plastic windows etc and it was surprisingly stable but the noise was horrendous. We flew past a VW van which turned out to be the local rozzers. They pulled...

I’ve had my 182 BG daily 4yrs now and trust me it was far worse than yours. But with a lot of TLC and wonga, they can all be rescued.

Never mind the rusty springs, i'm looking at those cobwebs on the brake discs 😂🕸️🕷️

Bravo, you've done a cracking job there.

Awesome work.

Whatever came with the kit. I’d need to check their power ratings.

I only have one Milwaukee tool - the M12 FIWF12 Fuel™ 1/2in Friction Ring Impact Wrench. Replaced my old DeWalt and had it a couple of years now. Certainly easy to use, feels nice in the hands and battery seems to last. Torque figures are a bit hairy fairy mind as it's supposed to torque up to...

I got them through DMFX in Darlington. Remy are just the company who refurbish. You may be able to get them direct but not sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

As above although I use a flat piece of hardwood on the jack as well. The head on the jack is fairly narrow so I use the wood to bridge across the chassis plates. I’ve also put the jack on the rear axle beam as close to the damper plate as possible without issues

Supplied by Remy, but refurbished Renault parts. I had to use my old carriers but I’m sure you’ll find a set cheap enough Just can’t remember the price I paid, sorry, but I know it was less than those refurbed versions as I’d looked at them prior

I think those are on an exchange basis only, so unless you’ve got a set to swap you’re screwed. Most offers tend to be on exchange. I bought some from DMFX in Darlington and paid the surcharge. Set me back less than that.

Ah that makes perfect sense to me.

Crikey that's what i'd call a luxury item. You either run a motorsport team or you get a lot of slow punctures :ROFLMAO:

Are you keeping it Racing Blue then?
