I had some Turinis before an sold them to my mate, orange granted but mint tires £375...
He now wants £400 without tires and £500 with and the tires that are the wrong size for Clio. For that sort of cash I’d rather spend extra an get the 2118s.
Another little update though...
Fabia splitter...
After an initial mind melt yesterday to do with the rear hub I promptly got on with the job in hand fitting of the stub axel spacers
I had been soaking the nuts in penetration fluid and they come undone rather easily.
I had heard of horror stories about the torx head but can honestly say they...
Just going to fit my stub axels spacer and hoping people could just confirm as it’s been about 3 years since I last did this...
Undo 2x Caliper bolts an move out of way...
Undo hub nut nyloc and remove disc giving access to 4x t50 torx heads...
Finally undo the nuts whilst holding the t50s not...
Quick update...
Spacers fitted this morning and I lubricated the stub axels nuts ready to fit the rear spacers when I get the flanged nuts.
Checked the abs ring also which is the same as the one I was given so lucked out there too!
Sooo being a budget build I’ve managed to source some free parts...
16mm spacers for the front with the 14mm minimum depth required to fit on the hub.
Already have the longer bolts left over from the turbo 🤣
These stub axel spacers were thrown in by the previous owner, I just need to source...
Thought it was, I’ll have to go through the car with a fine tooth comb then! haha
Had a bit of a afternoon on the BG swapping out the rear back boxes, like for like but the fresh fitted is newer and better condition.
Need to get a couple of powerflex mount as I know the oem ones won’t hold up...
So I’ve been going through the history of the BG and came across this receipt and graph.
Wasn’t this the guy who did a few people over and kept there cars an done all sorts of things or am I confusing it with someone else.
3hrs mapping an made 6.5bhp and 3.4ft lbs...
Think I’m going to have...
I’m looking for any previous owners of a BG 182, reg BG55 NKX. The car has 2 white cliosport.net internal stickers on each of the rear windows.
Any information would be appreciated 👍🏻
Thank you, 6ft test it’s fine but when you get up close you start to notice little bits.
No it was sent to me via the book of face, a few messages back an forth throughout the day and I set off for Derby at half 5 an got back at 2am!
Sort the niggly things out, change brake fluid, get some 15s...
So here I am again... No longer My Monaco Story but instead... My BG Story...
2005 Clio 182 Black Gold
123k, Fresh mot, Belts done 107k in 2016 so I need to get this done soon, 4 new tyres just fitted along with having wheels and calipers refurbed, Lots of history and invoices old mot’s. It...
In deed in would but I have finally secured a 182 tonight... 8 hours there an back and just home @ 02:00! I’ll either start a new thread or pick up my turbo thread an re name it 🤔
See that’s what I paid for my 172 an I have the same mental block!! Haha
Creeping is fine but they’ve just took off into orbit! An colour tax is crazy!
Think I may have to give up for a while, someone has offered me one super cheap but has issues. Could be worth sorting an punting out for 5k! 😂
I mean really what is going on with the 1*2 prices!!
I recently missed out on buying my turbo 172 back cheap because I hesitated and the past week I’ve missed out on 2 Artic blues, an inferno and 2 silver 182s all for around 2-3k mark.
I appreciate the fact that manufactures don’t make cars...
When I had the 172 we used a Recaro privia evo then graduated to a Recaro young expert and now they both have Recaro monza nova evos... all forward facing never to much of a chew to get in or out tbh.
Back again... On the look out for a cheap 182 to build and sit along side the Megane...
Missed out on one today cheap, local & extensive history an only £2k!! Had 180k on it though which I didn’t think was too bad tbh. 🤷🏻♂️
Yea I kept mine for 18months after boosting and only sold it due to needing a bigger car...
Which I’ve since sold to come to...
But an now looking for another 1*2 to build and boost along side the meg 🤦🏻♂️
I’ve never had any issues with them personally, always seen me right an done work after hours to save some pennies.
Basically yeah mate, I told my dealer mate if they announce one I’m kick him in the nuts haha
That’s good to hear that she’s still going strong! Will always regret selling that...
