Yeah that sounds good, and that's unlucky mine lives just down the road.. shame, I'm sure she won't mind being 2nd to the car! Skype had come on along way ;)
around Feb time there's a clio track day from another clio Facebook forum although might be too soon
Your plans sound good bud! thought you got yourself a dci then we would of be daily friends also!
yep book that track day! I'm on a mission with mine, I think it s because I'm very impatient but it really helps keep the project moving forward haha
So got back from holiday at around 330am Saturday morning up working on the car around about 10 am...
I got a bit excited no idea why
Engine out Saturday, the ph1 was a lot harder and took 1.30hours more than the 182 due to rusted bolts rounding and snapping etc
Today I removed the...
Oh really? has Ellen contacted you I knew she wanted one recently?!
and when abouts is it available I would be looking to borrow one when my parts are here and back from holds say 1-2.5 weeks time.. :)
Not to many updates today as had a bit of work to sort out elsewhere! but started removing parts of the rear loom etc
post man delivered some replacement stuff, which is always good, along with some hi tensile bolts for seats/subframes and a bulkhead through thing for a safer/cleaner way of...
ayee for sure, although the dash area is gonna be tricky to paint by can, as there's a lot of loom in the way - but maybe it's easier to do the masking up and letting the spray paint in the nooks rather than a brush...
lower dash is alright, bit of a basterd! loads of things you got undo/unclip - then you pull it off and find you've got more to undo etc etc
yeah I got the cheapist screw fix one - seem to go well for a good 30 mins continuous use and for more!
yep I'm painting it but I'm brush painting it...
I think it must of been passing maybe...
and heat bud - haven't got round to removing the glue yet as I don't really know what's best to get rid - had a go with bug & tar remover it worked just took ages..
So easy to remove the tar though - heat and the scraper just glides through...
This...
I am sure some of the ph1 purest are happy to know the ph1 lights are back on thanks to dan@sjm who also provided me with the abs delete - shame I didn't meet dan when I picked them up but had a nosey round his old ph1 and it's such a cool colour.
Recent progress is the ph1 is getting...
Yeah not to far at all! and good plan - pretty sure I will be removing the engine out of this one... @CUB ;)
got a lot to fit and it will loads easier if engine is out.
thanks bud, been offered the lower dash flocked too for cheap - what do you reckon?
yep £450 needs two rear tyres - i had to get over the fact it really isn't a looker but hey ho!
haha I've been looking at yours for a bit of inspiration, but yes I've got a lot of parts to hopefully arrive...
Oh are you Jason? hello - i haven't installed them yet, just cut out the skin off the bonnet - but I'm using the hole i said and I'm tilting the aerocatch parallel to the lights
Thanks paul - hopefully have something lined up!
Unfortunately had to pull out of the group buy for the roll centre correcky hubs - as it's probably best I don't spend that amount of wedge atm - definitely up for one later on this year early next year though.
so dash is complete: upper...
Yeah that's fair enough - I somewhat agree especially as the front end is pretty iconic on clio terms - but yep the trailer is not gonna like the splitter I'm making, and I do kinda like the look of them in general :)
So a few updates have taken place
- Flocked ph1 dash
vents are currently drying after being Sprayed black...
Flocked steering cowling, A pillars and centre console are in the post.
and I say a few I thought I had more to write about but nope.
Unfortunately due to being in between jobs...
Ahhh another ph1 nearish reading! progress looks good!
i did my throttle cable as soon as i got it, taped the new cable to the old cable, pulled the cable from the drivers side arch while wiggling the new cable through, then its simply connect at both ends
It's very hard to compare, as atm I've got some pretty hard springs on the coilovers I'm running, so it's not great for the road - just gonna push it out till I take it off the road..
Rear exhaust is knocking (somewhere, I've replaced mount and still does it) been shaking it by hand and can't...
so its a sad day, the 182 has been sold - Craig (he is on here somewhere) picked it up today!
in other news the ph1
-the battery has been relocated, starter feels a little more sluggish than it used to..
- update on the steering wheel
- and here's how it sits now, going 15mm slip on...
Grounds keeper at bedford chucked me a fiver afterwards...
This was a few months back but managed to get the misses out on track with me haha (she's not being serious with that pose btw)
since the 182 is popular ill throw in some photos i have to hand.
So to continue from above the 172...
Thanks bud, yeah definitely do it! don't worry about looks just get suspension, weight and braking sorted and it's all gravy
Thank you - annd the spoiler was from a mate who was breaking her ti 182 :)
