Getting the 182 manifold off was a right ball ache but we’ve done it now. We then started to label all the different connectors on the engine loom as the kit I bought came already done with the efi module. So we just wanted to swap them over.
We also test fitted the turbo and got the heat...
I did question this with my friend who's helping fit everything as i did ask the welder to do it a bit higher up the sump. But when the engine is running i take it the oil will be going around the engine so hopefully it will be fine 😬
I've had a oil return welded into the sump, I know most people drill and tap the block but that just makes me nervous. So will see how it goes
Also had the intercooler pipes powder coated as I just couldn’t put them on in the condition they were.
Fingers crossed I should get everything fitted...
Haven't updated this in a while so here goes.
I'm in the process of stripping my BG track car so have moved some of the bits onto the Titanium. So now the car has brand new Gaz gha coilovers and a refurbished white line anti roll bar. Feels a lot tighter now but our roads mean its not as nice...
I've been using my Black Clio on track for a few years without a diff and always want to upgrade to one, it was part the reason I bought the silver Clio as it came fitted all ready but had a crunch in 3rd, took the pms shifter off and it doesn't crunch so it must not have been set up properly...
Couple of extra pics. Drove to pick my 35 week pregnant wife up from Stansted airport yesterday (safe to say it didn’t go down too well 😂) but the car felt great and handles really well until the tyres give out.
Current mods
ktec induction kit
Power flex black series engine mount
M-factory...
So the clio is now on Cooksport springs with 16mm front spacers and 10mm rear, sits a lot better now I think.
Today was mot day and also had the tracking done.
Next up is a good clean and to fit new silvatec bulbs and enjoy driving it. Also have some carbon bits that I’m not sure weather to...
Had an hour spare today so set about doing the rear hub spacers.
One side done without any issues but the other side had a Torx bit that was mashed up already. Had to drill the head out.
Managed to get the 2118s on this weekend. It’s currently got eibach pro springs on but I have some cooksports so hopefully will sit better with them.
I have some front 16mm spacers to fit and 10mm ones for the back.
Also removed the wind deflectors.
Hi all I picked this silver 182 up last year but haven't really done anything with it because I was sorting other projects and the wife was pregnant.
plan is to try and keep uploading pics of the project to keep a note for myself what i have done.
I also have a BG 182 which is more track...
