And no this is not the right straight bolt on gearbox, that's one that requires the alternative top mount so may as well go newer and clio 172

Depends on what you mean as bolt on. For me the best option is just to convert the upper gearbox mount and battery tray to the mk2 clio setup and then anything from a mk2 clio fits. Bell housing wise all jb3 and jc5 boxes bolt on, they just revised the top mount assembly in the later cars...

Get those headlights polished up too

its the road speed sensor, common fault. its part of the speed cable and the earth on it can break or become poor you need to either change the cable for a good working one or re-earth the black wire on the three pin plug on the top of the speedo cable behind the dash clocks basically what is...

ai, treated mine earlier this year, both the 172 and the 182. also had the skirts off the 182 and all looked decent enough 172 will get skirts off over the winter but its not in use anyway :)

I love my recaro, defo wouldn't go back now ?

does look superb...…..needs recaro's though ;-)

didn't like to say ;-)

yeah I'm sort of slightly proud of the fact its stayed as a daily and not been projected or 'track car'd' or anything silly. it's just a relatively standard 182, been used as a well loved daily car since 2004 :)

ah superlegs, hero wheels :)

Engage winter mode and watch the filth accumulate :-) Potato ? camera aswell, apologies

Standard valeo gets my vote

Looks lovely, agree needs standard plates though, those things do nothing for it ;-)

Actually been on track yet? Flol! Mega car though, always wanted one and nearly bought one a few times but just couldn't get on with driving position and pedals etc

If we ever cross paths chap you're more than welcome to have a drive of it, for old times sake :-)

MOT passed today, goods times. Also took opportunity to look over the loaded up geo of the roll kit whilst it was on the pit. Lower arms sitting pretty flat with fully equal suspension load on the front axle. Anyway, couple of pics: Under the car And the kit working it's magic 

Lol @loggyboy

Miss my mk3 breadvan

MOT tomorrow so swapped onto the original wheels, replaced one rear disc as temp measure before I buy some new ones as couple of the threads in the old disc had threaded and also tested all the usual stuff. All looked fine until horn.... Pressed the button and it made a noise like the final...

@Martin. The track dried really quick but was a bit greasey all day tbh, definately struggled for overall grip but even traction achieved, wasn't tail happy really. So either very greasey track or r888r's are a bit s**t.... @Christopher Yeah it does amuse me that this was a 'forum' car from...

Kawasaki green superleggera are for heros and hero's alone ?

you can........but its plastic welded into the dash so its a b*****d of a job to do neat enough to refit it

lol, just clocked this ;-) if I come into some money I'll give you it back, how's that for a deal, lol!

If you've never done it chap don't even think about it, make the pilgrimage, such a great place. She's on 147+40k = 187k ;-)

Forgot to include the Cadwell pics in here as well. So, 12th September the high miler took to the track for a day, only reason was my actual track car was not ready for it and I really wanted to get my at least annual birthday trackday in (even if not having a great year for it, I always get...

cracking save, nice to see another RB kept going!

Meh, 147 is a baby, add 40k and then do cadwell park ?

Superb purchase, great looking car in nice condition. Enjoy

agreed, looks lovely and standard bar the lowz

I don't know of that exact conversion being done but know of one with megane turbo conversion in it with the 6 speed megane gearbox. Involves cutting and rewelding notches into the chassis rail and subframe on the passenger side to clear the gearbox
