A new lease of life for my 182!

[AndyPembs182]

After buying my 54 plate 182 about 3 weeks I’m very excited about the work being done on it this week!

The original springs (sold with the car) have been blasted and powder coated and are being refitted to replace the rock hard aftermarket ones. Four new Cup shocks are ready to be fitted at the same time, along with genuine Renault front shock top mounts. And tomorrow DPD will be delivering a new sports cat from K-Tec to replace the decat.

I already love the car but it has some handling issues, no doubt in my mind due to the aftermarket running gear and leaky shocks.... Expect an update next week from a very happy 182 owner!

Add new wishbone, inner tie rods and track rod ends and it will feel like new

I just costed up the parts on RPD.... About £370. Not bad!

No not really for the gains

Although you did say those items would make it feel like new?

No I meant it's not bad for the gain rather than the other way around. I think it's my local dialect confusing things😂
