it becomes and addiction and these cars hold up well to high mileage imo

do it ;) I interchange all my mk1 wheels onto the 182, had the superlegs on there, turbines (on the old 172), willy wheels, pro race, the lot!

still cant believe how expensive R888's have got, I remember buying my first new set of them around 6 years back, 195/50 R15, £254 delivered from demon tweeks in GG compound

I love that look, the clios so nearly look good euro...not quite an old polo, but still can look pretty decent

as above, that's pretty nasty, in fact no idea how you didn't notice it happen, i'd of expected a bang or something unless its vandalism on the car when stationary

Wobbanory you big gay bear, get those Williams wheels on there, 195/50 weapon of choice ;)

keep it up mate, I've got several mk1's in similar states of decay lying about but I wouldn't change them for the world. :)

lovely car, however get those exhausts straight ;)

I'd use the pro race for slicks and use the hocks daily

looks lovely as ever

lol, nah the plate came on it chap :) Lawro - erm its not, its a right ratty piece of crap, but I love it like one of my own all the same :)

F7R, cams, supersprint, goes alright ;) pics = 1000 words and all that

16-03-2014 - 64 Days to Bedford Progress has been slow, but last couple of weekends I've actually made some progress, and took some pictures! :) couple of weekends ago I stripped down the front end and fitted the quaiffe gearbox with a little help from some friends :) I also sent some parts...

you sure Lesley enjoys this track stuff, she looks right pissed off there :rasp:

don't agree, they look like they are made that height, both the pigtails are there as they should be, they just seem very low quality and ludicrously low

by the above designation of model specs, I think I have a..................shed?

they just look bent to me, guessing they have so few coils in them that they have simply given up under load buy a cheap set of standard springs from the classifieds, they are very easy to change with basic tools, don't even need spring compressors to do the job on a 1*2

nice work chap, about time all the niggles got sorted too so you can just enjoy it give me a shout if your up this way again soon, I'd love another blat out chap now its sorted :)

as above, cooksports are great but not on potholed roads, I have gone from them to sportlines and the ride quality is much improved however I feel the car handled (on decent roads) better on the cooksports and it also looked better.

Christ I can imagine Leigh is right chuffed with you for bringing that thing to have to colour match ;) loooool!

welcome over Darren, enjoy the 182, good cars but imo not a patch on a mk1 ;)

as above Darren, not worth it, same as the mk1's really, some people rave about it (placebo imo) and some people think why bother with a road car ;)

I have no idea what you are talking about my good sir, I always adhere to road rules and restrictions........... :)

illegally and irresponsibly on a public road? ;)

as above, drill out the old one and I just used some m6 (iirc) stainless nuts, bolts and washers to fit the new one

cheers Ste @Chris_Beer - I believe they are some generic anthracite powdercoat, Mossy had them done when he owned them a while back :)

@Ben- you'll have to make me an offer I can't refuse ;) lol!! @makavelli - a testament to all the previous owners ;) 121k and still going strong :)

No they are cup turinis chap and 15mm front, 10mm rear spacers :) Chris_Beer

ai, give KJ @ voodoo a shout, knows his mk1 ecu shizzle. theres a set of cat cams 225 cams and vernier pullies for sale on clio16valver.co.uk and mikes put them on ebay as well, pop them in first, map it, should see around 170bhp at a push with that

I like that, even the exhaust looks good as its not trying to be a 182 so much as inspired by a 182 good work on cleaning it up as well, looked a right state when you bought it inside/engine bay.
