Few more parts sorted this evening, track rods, rear shockers, oil cooler and driveshafts. All checked, cleaned, wire wheeled, hydrate 80 treated and painted. Cheers Ben

Let us know how the U rubber works out, amazes me how many more rattles my 182 has compared to the phase 1. Phase 1 is just so much more solidly built

It will be a completely different kettle of fish compared to the point in a straight line and squirt the loud pedal of the vw stuff

Also found my old carbon fibre engine cover set, appears my cf obsession was engrained way before the RB 182

Welcome, get ready to appreciate corners 😜

You mot history checked the reg? Maybe it's alive or laid up somewhere. Miss both my William's, should of kept them too, lol

Yes matey I think you should, original J plate is an enviable one to own

Height adjustability, dampening adjustability, springs easily interchangeable, most have camber adjustment. Basically just lots of flexibility

And get cracking @Sam16v great little car this will be

Trust you did up hand tight so next time don't have the same struggle :ROFLMAO:

Decent coilovers first, gaz gold, BC, or AST if you have the budget then roll kit imo

Plans sound good, sportsters are mega but every day having to up and over into them would be a pain. Ideal for a toy though

:ROFLMAO: if you note good Sir there are side trims on the lawn air fix picture, they've been in the car about 4 years so that's enough side trim, dosage complete

I just lean my leg against it while cruising, fixed

Looking good Tbh those carbon blanks look odd shape and bit bulbous anyway so I think sacking them off is right way to go

oh for a bit of interest, the original for sale advert is still on here from when I bought it from Matt waaaay back https://cliosport.net/threads/mk1-16v-clio-turbo-£4-500-ono-px-considered.198522/ cheers Ben

yeah must be about that now, honestly can't really remember when I had it all done. had the car since 2007

correct, you need phase 2 172 two piece or actual 182 cup or phase 1 172 no use

And for a giggle, fitted the wheel too the assembly, or perhaps fitted the assembly to the wheel? Either way, mock up complete Cheers Ben

Built up the front hubs with calipers, discs, roll kit etc etc to test fit it all plus easier to store now too! New Brembo disc fitted to hub, and cleaned up the grub screws Caliper carrier fitted, cleaning up bolts and thread holes as we go Caliper bolted up, sliders etc all cleaned and...

No, as said mines a full 172 wiring conversion including clocks, switches, indicator/wiper stalks etc

Was gonna say, that's a right result if just the hammer 😁

Mint work, basically all hammerite too yeah?

Bit more progress, cleaned up the bargain samco hoses, autoglym engine degreaser first, then soak in washing powder bath and quick scrub. Then many many rinsings Come up lovely Then trial fitted the 172 inner rods to the mk1 manual rack and all good, so just need to acquire some new...

Calipers painted

mega the more pressing question @M90SR though is, any other NOS been found for sale? :)

wrong, well for me anyway, much prefer the dynamics of the mk1, find it much less snappy and more predictable on the limit. although the running gear from the mk2 is better and far more options, so that's why my car is fitted with it all, lol!

And bearings in

mk1 life, 850kg with metal panels bar the bonnet and 212bhp F4R = 249bhp/per ton ;-)
