Not aberdeen but renomotive in fife are very very good and well priced.

Quick update on this. It's being dropped off at renomotive this weekend for stu to work his magic. New gearbox and clutch to be fitted. 197 dipstick to be fitted Advocult PS lines to be fitted. That's then pretty much the car sorted - short of a new windscreen and 197 injectors...

I've just ordered this too. Looking forward to seeing how you get on @Nobby87

I'll keep you posted! Stu @ renomotive (the man for clios in Scotland) bent my standard PS lines to clear the AC delete. He said it's fine to run for now but ideally they need changed to the advocult setup for a proper tidy job. You may as well do it properly though to be honest if you want to...

Hi mate, Not yet! I've got a few bits to do first (trace a coolant leak and fit the fiberglass bonnet), but once that's all done, it'll be the next job to get the new gearbox in and get a set of advocult PS lines in. Hopefully some point in the spring I think. They've been recommended to me...

That's rotten luck, but it could have been a lot worse! Definitely get on marketplace and find a dodgy Yaris/berlingo/just eat spec shed to use for while the weather is grim

Welcome :) Lovely looking 182, arctic is the best colour :cool:

I'm looking for aerocatches or bonnet pins to give me a little more clearance on my inlet. There seems to be two options. Butcher the standard bonnet and fit the catches (it's not in the best shape anyway), or get a fiberglass bonnet and go down that route. The fiberglass route will cost...

I'll have a look tomorrow for you and snap a pic. Im sure I had to slightly drill the hole a touch larger, but it's spot on now I did think that might be the case! To be honest, I'm not too arsed about the rain sensors. Thanks man, I'll get auto glass to have a look over the winter months.

Dropped the Clio at Rentec in Leith for its MOT and service. To be honest, I was expecting a fail due to to sheer amount of gearbox oil we are leaking at the moment, but it landed a pass with only one advisory - Gearbox leak :ROFLMAO: The gearbox is a job for the new year. I picked up a...

Haha thank you mate! Truth be told, they are just camera phone shots with a bit of editing. They come out well though!

With the engine pretty much where I want it (apart from injectors and possible cams in the newer future), I've been spending most of the summer just enjoying the car. The clutch it's getting high and my gearbox is leaking like a sieve. It's not just the Renault sweat anymore, it's full on...

As always, a very late update. I must keep on top of this! The car has changed a bit since my last post. I managed to get hold of an OG Carbon RS2 I let from Stu at Renomotive. I had been after one ever since buying the car, so I couldn't say no. I booked the car into EFI for mapping and...

Quick update on the turbines/maracana’s. They still don’t clear with a 25mm spacer. You’d probably clear it with another 5mm on top, so at least 30mm!? Sold now anyway, so maybe just swerve them unless you want Leepu spec spacers…

:oops: Feck. I knew I should have checked this before. Cheers for the reply though!

Did you ever find this out? I’ve just got myself a set of turbines but never thought to check if they’ll clear a 280mm set up.

Brilliant, I’ll see if I can get my hands on one first then. Thank you (y)

I’m in the process of fitting a JMS inlet to my 182 and need a bit of advice regarding remapping it. I’m not 100% sure if my car is currently running the 98 Ron map from Henk @ Rs Tuner. There’s a sticker on the engine cover, so I’d assume so. This locks the ECU (according to most who have had...

I’ll be adding to this over the next few days updating this - I always forgot! So, belts, waterpump etc were sorted by Barry and the folk at Rentec as well as the service. Top job as per usual! This was the drive to the unit once I had picked the car up… Tucked up with some very tidy stable...

Mental money. The rare Japanese stuff is going for eye watering sums these days. Its not Japanese but an E36 M3 Evo went for £250k the other week too :oops:

Probably the dirtiest it’s been in the 3 years I’ve owned it.

A couple of rarities out today. Vectra B GSI An old mk2 RX7 that looks to be dumped on portabello beachfront…

Something a bit left field from the old Gran Turismo games today. Daihatsu Midget. Drums front and rear:oops:

I share a unit with the chap who owns the Panda 100hp in issue 4 and he mentioned this project a while back. It’s a brilliant read and has that Evo feel from the golden days. Keep it up chaps! It’s my go to lunch break read at work at the moment 👍

Glad to hear it all went well. The stub axle bolts coming out easy is a blessing haha.

There’s a local Kangoo with what must be a 172/182 lump in it. Goes rather well and has buckets + is stripped out inside. Managed to have a quick look the other day when parked. Very cool. Anyone on here?

Properly mint X19 being used for the weekly shop. An Alpina (not sure its a proper job as DVLA register it as a 523) but lovely regardless. And this. It’s very well done to be fair but why?!

I know this is probably too late but oh well! My brother has a 1.2 mk2 Clio with 172 wheels on it. He’s got 16mm or 18mm spacers up front and 5mm shims on the rear. He must’ve done a couple of thousand (hard) miles on it and it’s been fine. It took 3 folk, 3 bikes and loaded to the brim with...

I put the car back into storage recently as I’ve got a new daily shed - A MK1 Berlingo 1.9D :sleep: It fits the bikes in the back and I can leave it without worrying if it’s going to get pinched, so it’s a win win. A 70hp non-turbo diesel lump takes some getting used to though… So, I pulled the...

I don’t think you need need them but I’d be running 5mm longer bolts for the sake of a few quid. My brother has 5mm spacers on the front of his and longer bolts were a couple of quid each from Kam
