Lol.. The grass is always greener on the other side.. I'm
never happy with what I have got! That's my problem!
It's not just the b-roads, I want bit more grunt n noise lol.. It has to be raw! That's what I'm missing :( the 182's great for day to day and posin but I don't want to Totally f**k it...
Thing with the ly is I just don't want to ruin it as it's such a good example plus I don't have the cash.. I'd love to do that.. But unfortunatly can't, plus I'm currently sharing it with the misses..
Ideal situation would be to keep the 182 AND buy a ph172 but can't afford to run both :( :(...

that looks a gooden but over budget.. :(
yea would want it mint before I started messing with the engine tbh.. That would prob be last area I'd touch. I'd want to strip it 1st and sort tyres out, then brakes n suspension, then start on finding ITB's...
I'm actually in discussion with the women about this and she is ok with it.. Could buy a ph1 172 for around £1.5-2k and buy a mk2 Clio Dci for around 3k and the rest can be a starter for the Ph1!
Does any1 know of a good ph1 for sale which is under or around 2k! Ideally after FSH and under 60k...
Yea was a great day! Some good driving aswel!! Was suprised how quite the roads were at times aswell!
When I get my cam back I'll get pics up asap!!
PSJ.
Well that's it. I'm not going to lose out or make a huge loss as the car isn't worth much and could end up stripping and sellig seperatly if worst came to worst! I plan to keep it and if it is off the road i can use the other car... So in all areas it seems an ideal situation to do it in...
PSJ.
No don't want vts or gti, want to stick with clio's. Love them lol. Plus the ph1 has so much charactor! Mean as f**k with correct stance etc.
Well it wouldnt be rushed. Just wait search for the right bits to come up for sale. Want to try and do it over winter ready for the summer next year...
Yea wanting to do it properly like no cutting corners as I know it will come back n bite me on the backside!
I can get ahold of 2nd hand H&R's and Mag wheels and ressecced zorst system. (from
my old 172, I'm sure nixxy would sell them on to me) so this would be a big help!
Just finding a sound...
Buy a ph1 172 (not bothered about body interior conditon aslong as it runs like a dream) and get it to be a sheer raw B-road/track car running 2nd hand itb's, coilovers etc etc !?
Have a major urge to sell up and invest in building a striped itb'd ph1 172 for weekends! And go halfers on a cheap...
Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Love this. Makes me want to sell up n buy a cheap ph1 to tune up as a sheer b-road/track car and have a cheap desiel for day to day!
Btw sorry if iv missed it but what power is it pushing?
PSJ.
haha yea the reno jack FTL! lol, does the job tho.
yea was going to gloss tyres but was in a rush as the calipers took longer than expected!
Rich n gem, defo get a set! look sooo much better! what ever you do though, dont get 205's as they make the tyres look like 15"s lol, thats what im...
I Hope the weather is like todays tommorrow! should be a fantastic run out if it is!
Cant wait! just hope i dont get lost leading the crew LOL, wanted to try and do the full run today on my own but just havent had time :( either way im sure it will be a good laugh as usual!
PSJ.
# UPDATE # Red Calipers! #
Beautiful day today so gave the car its usual weekly wash and hoover out! Then i wanted to paint the calipers red so got stuck right in. Quick visit to halfords to buy the caliper paint and a paint brush (already had a wire brush) and away i went!
heres a few pics...
Oh, gay!
So my only option it too custom make a set!
If so I guess I'd have to buy some Renault ones anyway just to steel the badges off to fit to speedline centre caps :S :(
PSJ.
Cheers dude, I'll measure the speedline dia when I get home.
And yea that's prob the best idea if Ren ones won't fit as I'd rather get the proper ren ones tbh.
Cheers, PSJ.
I have speedline turinis (16" - et40 offset) but they have the speedlines centre caps. I need Renault ones.
What's the deal with it as iv herd that Renault ones don't fit bit them again iv seen and herd of people doing it?
Please help!
Which ones Do I need? Renault ones or custom made...
Can my partner be the main driver n insurance policy holder (make me a named driver) on my 182 if I'm the reg keeper of my 182!?
Is this possible.
If so will save us alot of Money!
PSJ.
