Clio 182
Here is my Titanium (i think) Clio 182.
I purchased it last September with 72k miles and 1 month MOT for £1600. The car had a few mods, tinted rear windows, a sunstrip and it had been lowered on springs by 40mm.
It ran well and didn't seem to have any problems (other than the wrong coloured wing but that didn't bother me) so it was mine and a lot more sporty than the diesel 207 I was driving at the time.
I drove it about for a month and then put it in for an MOT. It failed on the sun strip intruding into the view and the passengers lower balljoint having extensive play. Once they were sorted I played about with the vinyl cutter at work and made some stickers for the rear windscreen
I know the monster one won't be to everyones taste but i pretty much live off the stuff at times 😂 and a piston heads one just for giggles.
That was pretty much it for a while and i just drove it about enjoying it :smile:
I stopped on the way home one day to take the above picture as its the first car I've had that has past that number in my ownership....normally they are well above it....and I'm easily amused.
Then one evening coming home from work my brake pedal went to the floor :fearscream: so I sent G172 a mail and ordered up some brembo front discs and pads, oe spec rear discs, brembo rear pads, replacement rear washers and hub nuts and spark plugs.
Being the gent he is he also threw in some brake fluid and some brake cleaner. Thanks again George.
So off with the old
and on with the new
Id also snapped both rear springs so ordered up a set of vmaxx coilovers to replace them all with
I originally thought that id slightly popped out a rear piston causing the brake fluid leak as the pads were uber low but it turned out the rear pipe that runs along the rear beam had split in two along the beam
so I ordered up some custom HEL lines to replace them with
However I was concentrating on getting everything fitted so I could get the car back on the road so I don't have many photos durring or after with them on.
Front Coils and discs and pads on. Made a bit of a rookie mistake with the coilovers though. left them wound down low......too low infact and almost ripped the front bumper off the car getting it out the garage the first time raised the height a bit and ended up with this.
Exhaust mounts are next tempted to do the power flex mod to them (forgot to wash the centre caps for the wheels......:weary oh front badge has also been wrapped in matt black and the fog light surrounds are to match the spare passengers wing i have wrapped (badly) in the same camo as something different.
