Has anyone cut away part of the rear bumper on a 182 before??
It's a track toy I'm building and running a single exit exhaust.
Was looking to chop away part of the rear bumper......if anyone has done it have you fitted a diffuser or similar or just left as is?
Cheers
Hi folks,
Bit of a long shot here but does anyone in the Aberdeen area have a spare set of wheels for a 182 I could "hire"?? Wanting my wheels powder coated and don't really want to buy another set for the sake of a couple days. I will pay anyone who can help!!
Cheer
Crazy thread revival.....hopefully you still use the forum or someone else can help.......were the panels for the rear windows custom made or can you buy them??
As title really...
I have an aux belt kit to be fitted, don't fancy doing it at the roadside. Any recommendations for garages in Aberdeen/shire??
Cheers
I was tempted by this if it was still last years regulations.
Think the new ones would put me in Class D but not competitively. I'd also need to alter the car further, which I don't want to do as it's a road toy too.
Normal hot hatch days for me next year I think
Got to love these cars and there issues!!
Drove a couple mile to the shops last night, no problem. Started car at the shop and it decides it wants to be a 3 cylinder 182!! Quick RSTuner diagnostic and it showed an injector fault. Luckily I could source one local today, half an hour after work...
Another wee update...
Still have a whine from belt side, no definitive answers so looks like I'll have to just start replacing components :(
On the plus side.....I have parts on route to fit an open filter for some induction noise......and out the back end I've stuck the RSTuner pops and bangs...
Hi folks. I have had a read through similar threads but they never seem to mention if it has been fixed.
Basically my 182 has a whine from the belt side, noise increase with revs at idle and under load.
Alternator is brand new so isn't that.
A lot of mentions point towards the aux belt idler...
Well that's just over 2 weeks into ownership and apart from the alternator issue I'm loving the car.
Previous 2 cars were a 300ish bhp Focus ST and an e46 m3 so I was worried I'd be underwhelmed with the Clio but I'm just not :). It's never going to break any speed records but it puts a smile...
Cheers folks.
Testing my patience already lol, lasted 2 days before breaking down. New alternator fitted and it's alive again. Slight whine from the pulley area so looks like it'll be aux belt and cambelt service sooner rather than later!!
Aye I've been round Knockhill many a time, usually passenger but have taken mates cars out before and love it. Itching to get the Clio down but that will be weather dependant at this time of year
Cheers :). Plans so far are:
Pure Motorsport gear shift kit
Whiteline rear ARB
Get another set of wheels for either road or track use
Few cosmetic bits too
And basically just keep it well maintained
Hi folks. Thought I would start a thread on the 182 I have just purchased. It looks as if it may of been on here before as it has a Cliosport sticker in the rear window. The spec of the car so far is as follows:
FF Clio 182
35k miles
Full Janspeed/Ktec exhaust
Decat
RSTuner Map
Brembo...
Cheers folks! Will get a thread in the projects area started soon.
It will definitely see Knockhill soon. I had intended to do Super Laps Scotland however it seems like without adding a chunk more power or adding extreme weight loss it won't be too competitive and will make the car not as...
Hi folks. Took delivery of a Clio 182 in silver today. The car itself has come with a pretty good spec that I will add to and make my own mark on over the next while. The spec is as follows:

35k miles
Full Janspeed/Ktec exhaust
Decat
RSTuner Map
Brembo HighCarbon Discs
D2500 pads...
