Because they’re all 15 years old and cost vs EPAS?

I’ve made a start on the rust removal. Although I have zero time for this in a weird way it’s actually enjoyable. I’m looking forward to the end results. Gearbox update - turns out it’s not to bad which was unsurprising as its worked fine since I’ve had it. It’s going to have - Selector...

When it was only silver! Also all true Titanium’s should have one of these..... Tit 🤭

Excellent, I read your build thread and it costs me money! Shorter 5th gear on the way 😂

I’ve been ruining Brembo 4 pots on my 182 for 4 years with no issues. I’ve never had a soft peddle after prolonged use (on track) and have never had the pedal go to the floor but................... the pedal travel can be relatively long. Consistent from cold but long. I’m sure I’ve read...

More ‘progress’! I think. I removed the subframe and then all the bits that bolt to it ready for cleaning/painting. I then got carried away again and removed as much as possible from the engine bay so it can be tidied up as best as possible before paint. I think I'm at the paint prep stage...

Made it lighter....

Today we finally removed the engine and gearbox from the car. I’ve never done this before so it was interesting. Shame it’s so cold outside today the frost never went away! The gearbox is off to Mark to work his magic on it. It’s a bit wet inside but apart from that seams fine. The gearbox...

Sad news - the gearbox is in the car due to illness :( Good news - I’ve invested in an engine hoist.................... to remove the engine and gearbox this weekend :oops: The more I looked at it the more I wanted to do so taking the engine out seems the simplest solution. I’m not going...

Mine don’t on GAZ golds

I've had time today to remove some more bits ready for the gearbox to come out. Hopefully this is happening tomorrow but I think my mate/mechanic has got the man flue so we'll see. The cars up in the air now so I've removed the front wheels, arch liners, radiator and ECU bracketry. To be...

If you’re talking about the hard lines across the beam then they’re both still available from Renault. I had to get the OSR one and it was with me the follow day. https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/brake-parts/renault-clio-172-182-brake-pipe-osr/...

Just watched the video, fair play a lot of time and effort has clearly gone into the the rebuild 👏👍 I’ve driven Bedford a lot, I don’t think i’ve seen a 182 go past so many cars in a straight line 😬 Off to Google/dream about Clio turbo engines........

I’ll stand to be corrected but it’s what the Clios plated weight is that is the weight they go by. It can be 950kg but if the door plate says 1350kg then it’s regarded as 1350kg

There are more than i’ll list but off the top of my head on daily duties (inc company cars) were - E46 touring 330d msport VW transporter 5.1 180bhp highline (brand new) Passat GTE estate (hybrid is the way forwards) F11 530D touring msport (current daily car) Mini clubman cooper D (Mrs car)...

Just about to spend more on a LSD and gearbox refresh than I did on buying the Clio. That’s the cheap track car I don’t use often. I know how much I’ve spent on it in total and it’s embarrassing. But today i’m annoyed as I spent £32 on a heater fan resister for the Mrs 2015 Mini Countryman...

Who are you insured with? I’ve never had a policy that covers the engine!!

Finally I had some time with the Clio today. The good news is i’m finally going ahead LSD so I pulled it out the garage. In preparation for the gearbox removal I took the bonnet and the bumper off....... and the wings........ and the side skirts! It’s fair to say I got carried away but the...

He did them both and made them both

My mate Dan does the stickers. Has also did the blue one I raced with. He’s based in Bedford. The one on my car was harder to do as the yellow/grey colours are blended so it was printed.

The one I used is this one - https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/brake-parts/renault-clio-172-182-brake-pipe-osr/ The one for the other side is this one - https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/brake-parts/renault-clio-172-182-brake-pipe-nsr/

First trackday for 2020 booked and i’ve only gone and booked the big one............. Nurburgring So much unfinished business with this car and the Ring. Last went 3 years ago with a very standard ish set up. Hope the cars back together with the bits I want in it. It might also have to...

The price of the engine was almost 4 years ago! The old engine still gets used. Arguably more than the new one....

Snap! I only managed half a lap. Just had all belts done as a precaution. Idled like it had a cam and didn’t pick up well after 4K revs. It was the first time I used it so didn’t know what to look out for. In other good new the replacement £300 gumtree engine is going strong 13 trackday and 2...

Hi My trailers up for sale if anyone is interested...... https://cliosport.net/threads/prg-super-sport-trailer-twin-axle-detachable-draw-bar-fits-in-a-single-garage.829412/

After 4 months it’s back on 4 wheels.......... for now 😂 I was a bit lapse in taking photos but first up the new brake lines were fitted. Then attention was turned to the rear bumper. Remembering I want to compete in some sort of motor sport with this car i’ve now fitted two metal tow straps. A...

Cheers, rear lines only are the third option listed here- https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk2/brakes/renault-clio-mk2-hel-performance-braided-brake-lines-2-0-renaultsport-182.html

Turns out you can order the OEM brake lines from Renault and they arrive the next working day for a reasonable price. Not bad for a 15 year old car. Also ordered the short braided rear lines from KAM. The only place I found that sells the rears on their own with next day delivery. Time to...

Thank i’m looking forward to getting it out again with all the changes! If I started again I would go PMS front wishbones but I already have adjustable inner bushes which I think were circa £200. The strengthening plates were £20 so the combination is good enough for me. The gearbox has been...

Today we put the car back together. It’s nice to finally say that! The day went well but a few little niggles have cropped up. I need to upgrade the short flexi brake lines but didn’t get chance to order them. Annoyingly I found the long hard line from the drivers side rear calliper has a...
