Did you go for Motrio?

Back on the rear beam testing an area before plunging into the full restoration. The beam’s pretty crusty so I removed all the crud with my small hammer, then gave it a wirebrush. Degreased the area with Bilt Hamber’s excellent Surfex-HD, then washed any residue with warm water. Applied a...

Well that’s it, she’s officially mine. Strange to drive another standard 182, it’s so different from the BG. Clutch is so light, gearbox so precise but steering a little vague and lazy. I put this down to the previous owner not fitting genuine wishbones. We’ll soon sort it out though...

Doing crazy things is what makes life worth living :)

Yes I am. One to polish, the other to semi-polish and drive to work, the other to thrash the nuts off.

My little Clio family is complete. Picking up the Blue one tonight, but i think that's going to be it for now 😁 The BG has been a challenge to take it from a wreck to what i would call a fairly high standard. But the experience has been worth it and has helped me in my search for a car i...

Externally I honestly can’t tell. I have the 200 cell pms sports cat on the daily. Internally it’s chaos in the track car as you can imagine, coupled with the PMS gear knob death rattle. My TC is usually between 89-93 decibels and the daily was 90 when asked the guy to test it at Croft a few...

I’ve got both PMS exhaust systems. Sports cat on the daily with centre silencer and decat on the track car. Can’t tell much difference externally tbh. I had a KTEC and Scorpion prior to that and the PMS is definitely quieter. My daily is really comfortable as I’ve put it back to OEM. Cup...

Yes, although the rear beam bracket bolts - the ones that go in through the boot - are too long. Go for standard Renault ones.

In addition to my 182 Track Car and 182 Daily.

What's small, Blue and can help with Erectile Dysfunction? Answer - my next project! Roll on Friday :D

I’d remind him of that but he’s never really spoken to me since 😂

I’ve tackle every job on my 182 except 2. 1. When the car wouldn’t crank one evening. Ran a diagnostic which led me to believe it was immobiliser ring. Spent 2 whole weekends swapping every part from my other 182 to no avail. Teddy came out and I put car up for sale. Luckily I got a tip from...

I love this. Good on you fella. I’m 57 now and a relative pup compared to you, but I’m still ultra competitive and can hold my own against the younger drivers with similar machinery. The time will come when I’m just happy to get out on track. And if I reach 81 and I’m still doing what you’re...

Corner weighting was the best money I’ve ever spent on my Clio track car and I’ve spent a lot.

Thanks fella 😊

Fitted my refurbished inlets and gave the engine a clean.

Finally got around to removing the old inlets. It was full of dodgy threads and somebody had tried to polish it which looked crap. It was also a good opportunity to replace the old gaskets and give things a little clean up, including electroplating the old bolts with zinc and a touch of...

I was actually at Silverstone at a race meeting and just happened to be chatting to a lad, who knew a lad and it went from there. I've been looking forever. I'm not sure how many sets there are so i'll drop him an email and see if it's ok to put the word out. I don't want to s**t in my own nest...

I agree. I'd already bought a new set of 52's as up until last weekend my search for A050's was fruitless. So already had them and will take them along to the next trackday's as we're starting to move towards Autumn and potential damp conditions. Got some Rainsports as well in case it chucks it...
