I've trolled through threads on this already and know this fits, I've bought the air box but the question is..
1: Do I need a smaller elbow pipe as the OEM one already on seems too long, if I attatch the v6 box to it the intake port will be further down and won't go through the battery gap (I'm...
Not to everyone's taste but it's going to sit well with my eventual black and "subtle" yellow set up for the car (:
Absolute pig to transfer due to the tiny and massive amounts of lettering. But got there.
Not false advertising as I have K-tec coilovers on and wanting eventually solid...
Pointless update.
After what seems 690 years later, the interior LEDs finally turned up, And here's what I have ..
And the boot light;
All coming together slowly (:
Looked great to me haha, your profile says Kent area yet I've seen this a few times on this road when I make my way home from the city centre? In between places?
Updates (:
Got the 197 style badge on today, now the "Clio" badge looks a mess compared to it so I'm going to have to find and buy a new one.
Either way I like it, i loved the size of the old one but the fact you could buy it in halfords.. Had to go!
Also had this for a while but...
Few goodies to show; first up a birthday present from my dad (:
Some team hekos (Pratical as well as suiting imo)
Also the newer 197 style badge has arrived but leaving it to my brother to put on as he's more experienced with this stuff, don't want to bodge this up and pay another £36...
Awesome colour, was always abit meh about it until I seen this one in the flesh. Sold.
Had to stop behind you to take a pic I was that impressed with the colour haha. Pics don't do it justice. Recaros too?
Thanks dude (: and we shall see! My brother told me about the stuff after he shown what it done on his van, his jet black trims I thought were standard black (they were grey) was redyed using that stuff ^ thing that got me was he applied it over a year ago and it's still going strong. We'll see...
Pointless update but still part of the progress thread none the less. Got my permanent trim restorer;
To tackle these sorry looking items;
Which started to look like this (50/50);
Then ended up looking like this:
Also done but not pictured;
Rear bumper strip
Boot button
And...
Yeah the emissions light came on, I'm guessing because of this.
Should be getting this booked in soon at an exhaust fabricator to get the leak fixed properly. Other than this I'm hoping this is the cause of the problems for now!
alright guys I'm not that familiar with mechanics so need some clarification.
My 182 usually happily sits around 1.2K/1.5K revs at idle, today it's sank below 1000 revs.. Noticed the exhaust peeing out water/petrol from the exhaust tips and then now seen a leak from where the cat meets the rear...
Yeah they exist, "oval" apparently.
Right so now I've been persuaded/given the ok to chop up I also have pretty much the design ready. Pretty much that ^ but the size of the Racing Blue ones.
I'll update this thread in the future when it's happened. (:
Heres a video of both exhaust sounds, a lot of people are preferring the custom one but then again it's custom so it's one off, all the sounds would be different
53 plate is the custom
If people agree with chopping it up then I'll go for it, not that opinions won't stop me, it's just more...
As title really, bought the car with a Yozza on, whilst I like the sound of it and especially the idle grumble it gives off.. I'm just not sold on the tips!
I have a bit of OCD/eye for detail, so the look of the tips are a thing for me and for the overall look of the rear.
The idea is...
Looking good mate, I like the black and blue combo on these arctics, looks good! Satin black front grille, badges, fog light surrounds and bullets maybe? Done quite a few times before but that still don't stop the fact it goes well (:
Couple of goodies arrived this morning, first off at the ass crack of dawn with this box;
Got in contact with George at RTR on here about some brakes that werent "ebay specials" haha, guy saved me some money and all in all got some really decent genuine stuff. instant next day delivery too...
Yeah I've read a lot that there's hardly any point looking to dump hundreds into these engines as the gains would be minimal (unless you fork out for ITBs/Turbo etc) like earlesey says, the cost for shot blasted primered and painted inlets alone could be worth the money.. Ish. Plus if it is...
I thought of that too, saves hassle of taking your own inlets off to be sent off to sprayed leaving etc. it's just whether the whole process of matching and enlarged throttle body is legit and done properly.
Haha true! Unfortunately Ive had an ebay addiction for a few years now.
I've seen matched inlets on Ktec website too but it's only for the lower half? Surely you need both upper and lower to be ported and matched properly/full effect?
Yet again I'm here asking probably stupid questions, last thread saved me some money and put it instead toward George @RTR for some proper brakes.
So next stupid question but need help on are these matched inlets. Are they off anyone on here operating under a different name or a cowboy claiming...
As title, are these the right fitment to a FF182? Also are they worth it? I'm wanting to buy them but want to make 100% sure they're right and worth it all before I do. Knowing my luck they won't fit or something similar -.- I've read also somewhere on here theyre Brembo discs but drilled and...
Couple of boring/mildly interesting updates, in no other form than refurbed (almost) headlights and 4D carbon vinyl wrap, ill start off with the headlights as thats where i was last.. Im sure everyones seen how these headlights get, mine wasnt THAT bad, bad enough for me to want to do them...
Have you took the front side arch liners out? i asked this when i bought the car as they were missing, was told they scrub/catch the lower the car goes so off they came. This sound right/necessary? Noob questions as i bought the car on coilovers and have little knowledge otherwise haha!
Thanks man, in time ill make it more my own rather than just pure OEM. Even though "my" plans are just OEM mods done many a time before haha.
Awesome i was hoping to keep this height and the two 205s on the turinis as spares haha (Continentals with near new tread too so defo want to keep!)
More updates. First up i ordered a windscreen wiper removal tool as due to past experience with my 1.4 thread i could NOT get them off, eventually used a crowbar and cracked my windscreen.. and still didnt get them off. Needless to say WD40 and this 3squid tool off ebay did the trick!
Removed...
Couple of new but tiny updates, first off after I bought the LED sidelights ive also bought and fitted a new rear number plate LED as the older one was just a original dull yellow bulb. The housing looks new so no need to change that. Here's some night shots..
It as actually that bright...
