Got everything all fitted today and the car finally out the garage and moving again.Need to get it in for its tracking and mot now.Have pretty much replaced everything under the arches apart from the dampers and is really letting it all down in there.Still undecided wither to get new cup dampers...
Nearly forgot ive also bought these and are sitting in the garage.Will put them on the way they are first and see if i like the silver finish against the arctic blue before i get them powdercoated either plain silver or light anthracite then get my michelins swapped over from the standard wheels.
Cant get a decent pic of inside it the now due to it still being up on axle stands in the garage but the interior is mint.Has a snappy wheel and renaultsport mats.

Lol no thats the last place this car would ever go.I didnt like the thought after the bodges i was finding on it that how long is it till it goes badly wrong and i would have a big bill and have to find a specialist up my way for it plus trips down to efi parts.Also it was always on my mind when...
So recently pulled it out the garage where its been sitting for months and although the car itself is in very good condition the front brakes,suspension,steering components were quite rusty

Thought i would start a thread on my new clio 182 since i sold my high boost clio 182 in January.Ive actually had this one sitting in the garage since last summer when i bought it off my brother but just recently decided what to do with it a few weeks ago and what ive decided is.......to plough...
Yeah he sure does.Believe he had a bit of trouble doing the gearknob with it still on the gearshaft but its turned out well.The leather and blue stitching now matches my snappy steering wheel :)
I did a search on here and found this lemforder part from euro car parts that someone had tried on their cup suspension 182 and was ok so ive bought two of them and fitting them hopefully this weekend
Clios coming along well.Im away to order track rod ends and ball joints.Are these ones you got cheaper than renault as the prices there seem quite pricey.

Well got a offer for a quick sale so it's SOLD!

Nearly a year since i got it back and a few thousand miles done on it.The car has been totally reliable and given no grief thank goodness.

Realised ive only...
