Heres some pics of my 1st exterior mod - Clear Repeaters with chrome coated (so you cant see them) amber flashing bulbs.

Better or worse? - i think it looks fantastic,
Next on the list is the RS Grille
Then repairing bonnet/color coding
Then Changing Rims,
Then Lowering
Then...
Good news, went downstairs today after i woke up (at 1PM :eek:) and found a slim envelope on the stairs with my name on it, wondered what it was, excited, i ripped it open, turned out to be my new bulbs, so i will fit these either today or tomorrow when my old man gets in from work :)
I know someone off rtoc (Renault Turbo Owners Club) that is pulling 270 from his 1.4 8V 5GTT engine ;), but im thinking about 200 day-to-day, Im going to build a EFI C1J myself :), good little project for a 16 year old ;), also, tiny update, my genuine 182 clear Repeaters have arrived 1st thing...
Not sure on my insurance yet mate, fight that battle when i get there, although my folks will be paying for it for me so im not worried :).
snick01: yes the F7p engine will fit in there ok, but even when its turbo'd?..
I think im going to stick to the 5gtt engine :)
Nick.
If i stick the EFI C1J engine in there (5GTT) it will handle 200bhp all day every day, my bros did for about 5 years, regular services and aslong as you build it properally, theres no worries, but if i stick the F7P engine in there (1.8 16V turbo) ill have to uprate the internals as its not...
Jon, ill take some pics tomorrow night for you when my fathers home from work in it, as its to dark to take pics now, and ill explain tomorrow :)
I would love to do the F7P engine as its modern, but i dont know if it would fit in? :O
Thanks Brett, i was planning on sticking the 5gtt calipers on there at the minimum, or some brembos or something, i forgot to put it on the list thats all, Thanks for pointing it out, whats everyones views on the F7P engine instead?
Nick.
I was going to choose the F7P engine and i still could if i wanted, Its already fuel injected ect, its just the C1J engine is already turbo charged so no machining would need to be done to the pistons to lower compression (like my bro had to) and the chances are nothing is going to give up on...
Hi guys, A few people have suggested i made a project thread from my ongoing thread, i didnt really want to as this project thread it gonna be spread over months and months, as i am only 16 and finding money is not the easiest of things, so if there is a long time between minor updates, bear...
Tappered seat means it goes down into a point, but it dont reach the point because of the thread, its kinda like the angle of a screw. If you look into your wheel nut holes on your rims, if you see a flat surface the tapered ones will be no good, as the tapper wont take effect, but if they have...
If its making noise by the motor get some grease around the joints, should shut it up a bit and lubricate it too :), Its no worries fella :), any more problems drop me a message, Nick. ;)
Went to the scrap yard today with my father so he could fetch some bits he needed for the trike we built, so i decided to tag along as i knew there was a new ish 182 in there, So 1st thing i do is get in there and find it, Blue 04 model, front ended which was a shame as i could have had the loom...
Hi ben,
it depends on what damage has been caused, if the engine stopped straight away, you might be lucky and be able to just put a new belt on there, if the engine continued to move, the chances are its dead, all the valves will collide with the pistons and bend them all, Easier to get a new...
