I need to get some photos of the car and the turinis up soon.Just keeping the standard wheels in boxes in the garage as the value of them are prob so low id just be better holding onto them just now and swap them back on or sell them once i decide to sell the car.Thinking im pretty much done...

Got these cup set turinis back from the powdercoaters today. Will get the michelins off the 182 wheels and onto these tomorrow.

I just dug out my old snes and n64 out the loft recently. Went and ordered one of these... http://www.retrotowers.co.uk/sd2snes-cartridge-form And have loaded a sd card full of old snes games. Each game takes about 1 second to download lol

Few pics from a clean at the weekend there.

Yeah really happy with it now ! Am looking for a cheap set of turinis needing a refurb that would get done in silver. Checked the dates recently for fcs and csf and im on a pals stag do on one and my honeymoon on the other.

The cars been running fantastic with no issues at all. Been doing a few bits to the engine bay.Still got a few things to do. Keeping it just now as always look forward to getting it out at the weekends :)

Nice car.Love the wheels !

Hi there,Its really just a sat/sun car so asking on a fri is the wrong time to ask lol. But yeah weekend past it was faultless and boosting well.Just got some mintex 1144 pads to try as noticed im on the brakes a bit more. Also painted the intercooler black as prefer it not seen. The more im...

Andy did all the running in for me then changed the oil and then got the car back.

Hi,Yeah its running great.Finally got it out in completely dry roads today and its putting the power down better than before.Should be doing a trip over a few days in the north west of Scotland in a week so it will get a good run.

Yeah its running great.its got plenty of power ! Prob too much lol.It has to be in low boost most of the time and can only really floor it in 3rd gear upwards and in high boost can only really floor it above 60mph otherwise it just wants to wheelspin.When it grips though its away.Total licence...

Most of the time the car was away i realised id kinda jumped the gun and had the blinkers on wanting to pile money into the car when i should have had my sensible head on and sell the car the way it was as it hardly gets used and with my upcoming wedding,wanting to start a family and a bigger...

Well ive had the car back and been out driving it and its running great.Its a flying machine in high and low boost.Not had a chance to get pics of the car yet as the weathers been terrible. Looking forward to good weather to getting out for better drives in it now and hopefully enjoy it as the...

Andys driving it up to me tomorrow morning :) Really kind offer from him to put it through its mot for free and deliver it back. Will be an early start for him as im just over 4 hours away in north east scotland and hes arriving mid morning.

Just seen a few pics of 182s with the wheels out a tad and liked the look.Will Be upgrading the brakes but just disks and pads. Got the mapping results from monday at efi and the car made 336 bhp and 301 lbs torque so well happy with that.Cars due back on friday

Cant remember what went wrong with the clutch but got update today to say its ready for efi again. Andys fitting a oil catch tank before i get it back. Got a new set of renaultsport mats and heko wind deflectors for it (which im not sure of yet) for when i get it back.Also want the wheels spaced...

Unfortunately not getting it back tomorrow. It went down for mapping on Wednesday and had a clutch problem during mapping so Andys fitting a new one over the weekend and its going back down on Monday. The car has had a few niggles at the finishing stage which i can imagine Andy could do without...

I went out in a stage 1 clio and couldnt believe how good the difference was to standard so thought I will go for a stage 2 as my belts were due in a year then you seemed to get alot more for a extra grand to stage 3 so ended up going for a stage 3.....then went and got supertech valves put in...

Had an update on the car today and sounds like Andys been flat out on my car trying his best to get it ready, but it has chucked up a few problems and hes doing his best to get them fixed. Ive been given a date of saturday 9th for the car to get delivered to me and with the communication today...

I agree that there has been no mention of shoddy workmanship and I have never claimed this of Andy.However the poor communication is both frustrating and unprofessional. I have had 3 mapping dates and so far all have failed to happen. Still to this minute I don't know if my car was mapped...

Already paid £4000 and still got around £1350 to go as paid extra for supertech valves to get put in. My car thread has went a bit of topic and never thought it would go this way.I worked 45/52 weeks on call this year and a hell of alot of overtime on top to be able to have this money aside to...

Yeah but aparently he was doing it today as a favour to Andy as my previous booking session got cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

The car was ment to be in at efi parts for mapping today.Have asked for a pic on tuesday (today) of the results but no reply yet. Dont need to look back to realise its the worst mistake ive ever made.Already know that. Getting close to the point im ready to go down to take the car back in...

Yeah 8-10 weeks for me. Its now booked in for mapping next tuesday.Still waiting on a reply to when i can get it back.Hopefully theres not a delay again.Keep organising lifts and time off work to go down then at the last minute it gets cancelled.

Well after 13 weeks away its been delayed again and its been stressfull to say the least.If this is what its like having a clioturbo 'without even driving it' it had better be good or with the amount its affecting things in my life.

Been waiting ages for episode 11. Brilliant watch as usual.

Im due to get my clio 182 back from clioturbo next weekend after getting a stage 3 conversion and will be putting up how it goes on my thread.... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/my-racing-blue-clio-182.751865/page-2#post-10893879

Any updates ? Love this car.

sj2112 - nope sold it to buy another escort cosworth.

Seems crazy to own a trophy and not enjoy it for what it is rather that store it away with minimal use for 10 years to 'mayby' make a measly £5-6k in that time.Yeah that type of moneys alot but not compared to 10 years use and having fun with the car.Lifes too short !
