Impressed you still have this. Not sure when I got mine I think it was 2007.. Still have it, although it hasn't seen road miles for about 7 years now!

Nice. I look forward to coming over for a nosey then. 😉

Yep. Now its back at my house (was in a unit) I can finish a few bits off and mot it next year.

Been in storage for that long. I had hair last time I drove it... feels a long time ago.

First wash in 5 years.. Have now owned for 12 I think.. 🤔

Thank you for your speedy service as usual. 😉

Well it's been a long time... Pushed on with this as much as I could and in October I got the old girl fired back up. With needing to get out of the unit it's been in for the past years... it got delivered back to my house. So much dust and general grime on it, I decided today to pull it...

My YouTube feed is now full of this crap after watching two of the videos... joy.

Based on the same body shell, they are mahossive.. seen a few in the works car park.

In some of those photos it reminds me of a volvo... a slightly more modern one than usually on here.

Few more bits done tonight. Hoses fitted back in along with the cleaned expansion tank (not perfect but fine all the same). Test fit of the new radiator. Slow progress is still progress.

Totally agree but will struggle to find one now, I gave up but I'm not thinking of turbo / charged so no need.

Through the dust it is still RB...

Haven't updated for a while.. Test fit of the new version of the pure motorsport brackets. Made some proper progress this evening. Feels nice to be putting things back in, rather than apart! Some nicely new painted bits and a few treats with the flywheel, sachs clutch and gripper diff box. 😈

Tonight job was to remove the steering rack and all associated pipework. Job done. Checked the fitment od the new dci manual rack and looks good. Also had a quick look at the brake servo, little bit of surface rust so will give that a sand over and bang some paint on it.

So now after the stud snapping I fitted the new one and got it all timed up. Hopefully it's correct all seemed OK just fiddley as everyone is aware. I spent a few hours today sorting the sump and arp rod bolts. All tightened using the lube and torqued to 42ft lbs. All looked good in there...

The new cams idea did cross my mind a few times but I resisted temptation... for now.

Progess in recent weeks.. Started the cambelt with the help of the genuine tools borrowed from @colesy, was all going OK until an inevitable disaster.. pulleys back on, all locked in place, tightening and torque up the exhaust cam pulley and snap! Seen this has happened a few times on here...

Bit of progress this evening, hoisted the engine out and on to the stand. The usual empty bay shot.. Engine out Removed clutch and flywheel both of which looked in good condition, but these will be kept as spares with the new bits going on. I checked the seal and looks to be weeping a...

Looks great. I am biased though. Keep the RB..

Great starting story! 👏 I'm sold.

Picked up the exciting parts from @Hyperhatch few weeks ago! Nice to meet you and thanks very much! Spent a few hours this morning getting the engine ready to come out, all that's left is to pop the drive shifts and hoist it out. Hope to get out and on the stand in the next week, work...

Reiterate the messages from others, really good to see the come back! Time to finally enjoy it.

Bought my 182 back in 2009!.. its done 64k of which none of that has been in about 5 years. Contemplated selling a few times but could never bring myself to do it. It's on the road to recovery this year.

List of parts that I have collected over the last weeks: • Genuine timing belt kit, dephaser, water pump, dampened crank pulley. • Oil and filter. • Plugs. • PMS new style alternator bracket and new belt. • PMS PAS delete. • New radiator, electric fan, thermostat, type d coolant. • ARP rod...

Never got it mapped mate, just ran it as is, there was always plans... never came off. The usual thing. Thanks for the inspiration! Looks great! Awaiting parts to arrive this week (mainly service ones) to kick start. Few other bits then to tidy up and its not far away from an MOT at least.

Dragged the sorry state out from under the blanket today.. Looks like something from fast n loud when they find a car that's been in a barn for 20 years... Thought before I started anything else should check that she still lives. After putting in a new battery, checking everything was plugged...

4 years ago I did... I have had alot of change over the last 4 years (mainly kids and divorce...) unfortunately nothing to the clio. 2021 resolution is to sort the clio out, last few days I have just put a big order in for most service parts and pull this out of the storage and get it done!

Liking it oli, you can take me out in this when it's done. 😉

I'm very well thanks (as much as anyone can be right now anyway). Challenging few years which is why the clio has just been dry stored, but all sorted now. 👍 Hope all good with yourself too.
