Think the colour and the offset do nothing for the car. Would be far better on the turinins or something not white and that didnt sit so badly on the front.
Picked this up last weekend...
2005 Clio 182 Full Fat, 73k Full Service History, low owners and a few subtle mods...
Carbon fog surrounds, carbon door bullets, carbon thumb grips on the steering wheel.
PMS Solid top mounts and Strut Brace
Brambo HC Discs and pads
Braided front brake lines with...
haha you've done a mega job mate expect a PM or 2 if you dont mind picking your brains! Been wanting to do one for ages and finally found a spanking mint 182 to use as a base
Just had a read of the whole thread, mega work mate i love it! Collecting bits over the next few months to do a very similar build. Standard of work is immense good on you bud!
i know whats needed to get it running, that wasnt the question though mate. I wouldnt say its physically alot bigger than the focus RS turbos people run on them as they dont stick off the manifold as much.
Basically turbo'ing my 172, been looking at t25/t28 set ups.
After having a nose about my garage today i've found a T3 from a 3 door cossie, i know the flange would mate up fine to my megane manifold. Just wondering peoples opinions on using this turbo on an F4R.
Anyone used one before...
Trophys are one of them cars that should be left standard IMO just as Renault intended, limited runs need keeping as per brand new from the factory. Bit of an exhaust fair enough and some subtle springs but not much of a drop.
The wheels just ruin the car totally for me if i'm honest...
Fuel rail guard is off, mounts the top one is failrly new and sickaflex filled too, bottom is a fresh poly one, top gearbox mount was new when i got the car november last year.
Alternator bracket has gone as i've mad an aircon delete bracket and pulley for it so thats ruled out. Really strange.
Right, 172 has a slight rattling noise above 4k. Doesnt effect driveability what so ever just a rattle, sounds a bit top end between cylinder 2 and 3.

any help or people exp[erienced something similar?
much appreciated
had the wiper arms off before, lower grille, fog light surrounds and gave em a quick coat of satin black to match the top grille. Thinking of changing to some 172 xenons as opposed to the 182's that are on it.
LOL thanks len!
plans are solid top mounts, bush it, get the revolution in it and do some track time. Maybe upgrade the coilovers if a set comes up for the right money, and find a good source for some slicks.
im the same tbh mate, and even with them on i still am. The car clean today rolling looks awesome on them and is a bit nicer to throw about on 15's too.
They will house some slicks nicely in a couple of months though which is what they are here for.
Corbeau Revolution purchased too for it.
Got some 15" Super T's for some track wheels, gonna roll on them for a few weeks! quite like the look on 15's didnt think id be that much of a fan but pretty fresh!
