So... on to part 2 of the updates :
AS mentioned already i managed to get hold of some proper seats, subframes and harnesses ready to get the car out on track...
Luckily lockdown meant that i had a little extra money so figured it was now or never to actually sort the clio out so its ready for...
Hi folks,
Figure its about time for me to put up a thread about my little 182..
Have owned the car for about 6 years now, was bought as a daily but wasn't actually used a great deal..
When I was looking i was pretty fussy with colours : only wanted a RB or Inferno and this happened to pop up...
Looks great - assume no ill effects from removing the horrible shitty normal heat mat crap at the back of the engine bay long as you put something above the exhaust?
I've finally read this start to finish : love it, pretty much exactly what i want to do to mine! Really need to start a thread really. Will have to keep an eye on this for when you are at brands for a look around in person.
(Is the caterham pull not still there though?)
Cheers Simon - i'll bare that in mind - finally got around to dropping Tom a line...
Got some other bits on teh way too now, so starting to collect bits at last!
Simon - I’m lucky in that one of my brothers can weld (he actually works for a GTR specialist near Rochester) but if he can’t actually find the time I’ll prob take it to the Kent motorsports place mentioned in the traders section - they’re on Rushmore hill in Orpington (ish) so not far at all
Hi folks,
Quick question:
Finally starting to get my little Clio sorted out : have finally fitted my Motordrive seats but am wondering where you can actually buy a roll cage from at the moment?
I gather SD currently have a lead time through till September and was hoping to get something...
yeah - was just thinking out loud really.. i'm going down the same route and have finally got round to fitting my buckets but want to retain the passenger seatbelt : makes sense i think to fit the original clip if possible but was wondering if this then caused issues for anyone! :-)
Nothing too exciting : just need to get the suspension freshened up, and get a cage fitted : its had everything else done that's necessary (all new brakes / belts / injectors / o2 sensors / wheels refurb + tyres) I've got buckets already (and the jon fox mounts too hat i really need to fit at...
If you're local to brands, do not, whatever you do go to Sevens and Classics round the back of paddock on scratchers lane for a quick look round....
(I've got a RB 182 too that's not been used for the best part of a year and essentially want to do the whole Caterham thing... and I live about 5...
What subframe set up gave you used for your drivers seat that still allows the use of the seatbelt pre-tensions matey? That's the exact set- up I'm after, both cage wise and seat wise!
Agree : when I was looking for mine, I originally wanted imperial : pleased I went to look at a pacifica one first!
In certain lights you'd actually be hard pressed to tell the difference : in bright sunshine pacifica looks very bright.. at sunset it goes to a deep blue/purple kind of hue.. I...
