Here's an alternative brake cooling duct setup. Found these at the home depot store. 100mm pvc pipe connection and flexible downpipe adaptor. Mint.

Aerocatches in. Fair bit of messing around. Bit worried they are not far enough forward. Note to self for next time - push nuts into backing plate so they don't drop down inside the bonnet recesses!

Managed to fit a rear tow strap quite tidy as well. Pulled the trim, cut in behind and pushed a 2000kg rated ratchet strap end through. Mounted to the chassis with a bow shackle.
Trimmed the trim. Nice result for no cost.

Hi sorry to hijack your thread. I have a ph2 182 which is going to be track only. No AC. What's the feeling with running no PAS at all?? Hard work at low speed the only issue?

DRY ICE!! Update time. I bought a lightly written off FF 182 from Christchurch (NZ) a week or so ago (@Ayven!!). It's going to be a track toy. I've stripped the interior out and today smashed the tar sound deadening out in 20minutes. I used dry ice. About 2kg was plenty. $8/kg then smashed the...

Clean the manifold intake butterfly. Plastic elbow off. Clean rag on both sides of the bfy and the intake. It's surprising how a little bit of residue affects lumpy running.

Induction on these is more about letting the monster out than more performance. Fills my heart with smiles it does :) To try it just take the airbox top off and filter out. You can slip a silicone section with pod filter on inside the std bend and rest it inside the filter box. If you don't...
Can't wait. Gotta say getting parts in New Zealand isn't that easy. Lots of freight cost and these cars are very rare here.

Thanks :) Yes finding tires for 16s can be a problem. Have had toyo t1r and now have new Kumho V70 semislicks to go on. 16s should be stiffer in the sidewall??

Bought my first Clio a few years ago and have grown to love these little fighters. It's a daily driver with occasional track days now. Mods with it were slotted 280mm rotors, 16in wheels. Since I have had I have;
- got a set of 15s for daily use and left the 16s for the track
- a bit of...
