Very nice indeed, be interested to see it when the spacers and springs are fitted with the original wheels still on.

Do you not think the OE clutch will hold out on low boost (250hp)? I spoke to Adey and he seems to think the Valeo should be fine, this is what he had fitted when running 278hp in his supercharged 172

Appreciate the warm welcome chaps. So today I finished work a bit early, what with the sun out, hardly any breeze and the temp around 13 degrees I thought I'd spray the intercooler. A quick rub down, primer, and satin black from Halfords and jobs a gooden. I used the whole 300ml can of satin...

So this is a little background into how this project came about before I get into posting text and photo updates from now on. As some of you local to me know I owned Christopher's old Racing Blue 182 before the Petrol Blue 182. The reason I sold the RB isn't the greatest story and how the...

I've seen on some (admittedly on other Renault models) they can be re synched by holding the button up for say 3-4 seconds with the window up

I'm loving the OE BBS wheels for the exclusive too, I might put a wanted ad for a set. The Exclusive looks good and with some nice touches too

Thats cool, am i the only 1 that has a soft spot for those 15" BBS 'exclusive 172' wheels? I quite fancy a set

9. Ricardos- 54 with both cup packs..... soon to be supercharged :o

That's the spacer options I'm thinking of going too, I think 20mm might scrub lowered with coilovers at the front and no real negative camber

Cheers RyG ;) An ideal weekend away for petrol heads, a free event. I'm not so sure it's stag weekend territory though. Spa town centre is a nice place but on the other end of the spectrum as in not a lads, drinking, bars, t1ts out etc kinda place. More like fine al fresco dining, cafes...

So nice to see something different, looks so clean and simple. Seems like you have a decent head on your shoulders with how you've done things, a pleasant read and an amazing looking Clio

+1 back in the day i took the time and effort to have a load of caliper extenders made and anodised for the R5GT Turbo boys. It gave them the opportunity to go from the OE 238mm disc to the Renault 21TXi 285mm disc setup, at that time K Tec and GT Tuning were the only companies to make them but...

So nice to see a valver pop up on the forum every now and then. Nice 1 Ben will keep an eye out on how it progresses

Ordered a new header tank from Carparts4less, almost finished working through the parts list to get the supercharger project on it's way

It worked for me, seemed like a good setup for road, back road blasts and the occasional trackday. The toe out was a nice little tweak and made a difference for me. Maybe someone else has a 2nd opinion on the toe out :)

There's going to be a compromise in tyre wear but you have to sacrifice a little to gain in other areas if that makes sense. It really depends what you want being a road car, mileage, spirited driving. I personally found it a benefit with that setup on road, take into account driving style on...

Been a while since I've had any geo done to Clios, but on my last Clio I had 1.5 degrees negative camber and 3mm toe out. IIRC the toe out gives a nice little turn into corners

Dom, is this the K Tec supercharger set up? A couple of questions if that's ok, are you using the black restrictor? With the supercharger in place do you lose the aircon?

Sounds good, can't wait to get started on mine :)

Awesome vid, would love to go over there for the weekend and watch this

+1 Does absolutely nothing for me Still OP, enjoy :)

That Liquid Yellow on 16s is stunning, almost made the decision for me to get these for the Petrol Blue

There's a powdercoating company near me, I'm hoping they can do parts as quick as that :D

Chaps, what's the turn around time for these powdercoated parts, from drop off to picking them up?

Cheers Cub, look forward to seeing pics. I'm gonna have a go at painting most of the parts myself, I'm just wondering whether the inlets will be ok to paint with 'normal' spray paint or whether they really have to be done with VHT. I've already bought new black silicon boost hoses and just about...

I'm just in the process of making a list of parts on the engine that can be painted and/or powdercoated. Can anyone add to it? The engine will be taken out so i'll be painting the block, head and gearbox. Also what paint types have you used? Top inlet Lower inlet Rocker cover Cambelt cover

It's so hard to get a photo of PB in the sun to compliment the colour. Have you seen pics of my PB?

28. Ricardos

My 182 is 10 years old IIRC around August time, so i'm treating it to a new cambelt kit, waterpump, aux belt, clutch, oh and a supercharger :D

No worries chaps :) I should have all the parts ordered and delivered to finish the kit off by the end of next week. I'll be chompin at the bit by then to get on with it but need the Laguna first.
