Satisfying

Any links bud?

Engine bay as it stands. Not bad. I will get round to getting some of the bits refurbed (inlet etc) to tidy things up a bit.

Some have been made, some have been adapted. Still not sure on the centre cap thing 🧐

😅🤷🏽‍♂️

Photo whoring

Big photo whoring I’m afraid. Gave it a bath and a go over with some wax. It really is a brilliantly straight car, tonnes of effort has gone in to it so far, and more to come. It’s all coming together how I’d planned, sadly photos don’t seem to do it justice.

Very grubby morning replacing the rear calipers, pads, discs (w/bearings) and rear hoses. Hoses were a nightmare. One still won’t come off so will probably order new pipes as well 😅😂 The old bearings had zero movement in them, but Christ the difference! And the handbrake works a charm now as well.

You’re welcome mate

To be honest, the very thought of having to sell stuff to the public would be enough to put me off. I’d rather set fire to it than have to deal with that many people to make a few quid.

I am pretty used to making horrendous financial decisions having spent my life racing on four wheels and two My supersport bike cost me over 35k to build. I wrote it off twice and then sold it for 8 grand 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ve done this numerous times over. So perhaps not a good role model 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

I’ve not tallied up what I’ve poured in to mine lately but it’s easily 100% + of what I paid for it since October 🤣 I don’t mind though, it’s likely a keeper and I enjoy being its caretaker. All my stuff gets over maintained tbf.

I'm away otherwise I would have gone

I get a lot of comments on mine, often such as: "Wow you don't see these anymore" "That's really clean" "I really loved these back in the day" etc

Is it me or is there an enormous amount of 172/182's being broken of late? Everytime I load faceache it seems like another one's getting the chop. Can't see there being many left at this rate........................ https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/renault_clio_renaultsport_182_16v

What weight is the car at matey?

Looks similar to one of the engine dynamic build sheets that. Was looking at it the other day....

Looks the part

Only managed to get the powerflex mount insert in today before the heavens opened. Once it dried out I ran out of motivation. But, I have just got back from a test run and basically what everyone else says, it’s definitely an improvement for the application in which I am using it for. Slightly...

Awesome work You’re fairly local to me as well - ish

Cheers mate. Am very happy with it. When I replace the discs and calipers soon, it’ll look better on the centres 👌

Couple more

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Got a lot of inspiration from your old one which imo is the best I’ve seen. Still got bits to go, she’s definitely a keeper !

Some quick, crap pics.

Off to the tyre place in the 182 van to get them fitted.

Yeah public sector pay is shite! It’s also generally a safe haven for people who are beyond useless at their jobs. Not as bad if you’re a contractor though. Standard nhs, put up so much tape nobody can do anything. Circumnavigate the tape you put in by getting consultants in to get s**t done...
