Is this still December?

Just but an Engine Dynamics kit and save all the hassle https://www.engine-dynamics.com/Performance-Packages/pid685/cid105/Clio-Sport-172-/-182-Turbo-Conversion-Kit-230-BHP.asp

Couple more days in the sun needed to turn it pink.

Pms brace is a good mod that can actually be felt. No where near as much as the one I fitted to my R5 many years ago but that just shows how much more rigid the Clio is than the origami 5😂. What did the Mrs hit to smash the headlamp? It must have gone with a right bang, I bet she s**t her...

Get @dann2707 to do you one.

Maybe 😂.

New arb bushes and clutch have arrived and the hubs are back together with new bearings being fitted at the garage. Paid for the hubs with beer and the clutch was a on amazon at £25. Ever the sceptic I ordered 2. It didn't take long before the seller emailed me but to my surprise they said only...

They do that a lot.

@K-Tec Racing sold refurbished driveshafts, maybe they could be of help?

Welcome aboard. Get some pics posted.

Honestly mate that deox bath is amazing. I put them back in after that and they came out even better. I was going to buy new flanges but don't need to now.

Bent! They are curled over like some pikey toenails that haven't been cut for a decade😂.

Time for an update. It's getting worse😂. I got fed up being stabbed by bits of wire brush so any parts that would fit went in a bucket of deox-c for rust removal. F me that's impressive stuff! The hubs came out 99% rust free which I really didn't expect. I've since blathered them in hammerite...

And then micrometer over vernier if possible. Although all our equipment at work is out of calibration so a tape measure will do!

Found my 6" vernier the other day. Still in as new condition after nearly 30 years. Never had a new battery either 😉😂.

Do we need tickets for @Donny_Dog Street?

Still make 172!😂😂 That's made my day 👍.

Yes.

You can't beat an organised workbench. I'm a fucker for everything in its place but nuts and bolts and screws at home are stashed in all sorts of boxes and finding the one that fits takes ages. I think I need a trip to homebase and an afternoon sorting my s**t out!

No but there's still chance to👍

How long has it been since you've driven a clio? Are you a bit nervous that you'll get in it and think f**k me this is s**t?

New interior is supposed to be a good improvement. I think the rest is the same.

If I can get mine put back together in time I'll come. Is there a cut off for getting a ticket?

Welcome along👍

Welcome. 182's are great cars and good ones are getting harder and more expensive. A loud colour adds to the price too these days! The mk3 197/200 was reviewed as a step back from the 182 because the extra weight dulled the meagre power increase, however they handle that tiny bit better. They...

I spotted a silver one in Sheffield yesterday but didn't get a pic.

Is that the only white R27 or just had the stickers added at some point?

Probably not a black series but still a nice SL65.

I watched that yesterday. Not bad for 50 year old tackle but I don't really see the point when a cnc with a high feed cutter will remove that material much faster.

It looks bloody beautiful.
