BG 182 - The story so far!



  Clio 182
Well had the 182 now since October last year and haven't got round to creating a project log. I never got photos of it when I first got the car however it really just was a standard 182, im sure we've all seen plenty!

I got the car quite cheap due to the belts etc needing doing so the first thing I had done was the belts, de-phaser, water pump etc!

Once this was done I set about doing a few subtle bits such as Aerotwin wipers, Silver visions, Phillips blue vision sidelights, short aerial and also purchased a CF gear insert as the standard one had had it! I also bought a KTR panel filter from a fellow member!

After a while my exhaust decided to come away from the manifold, Cooksport hooked me up with a Janspeed exhaust and fitted it for a great price. He was also kind enough to get that bloody awkward bolt out so I could get my rear seats out too!

This is the point I am up to with the car right now. I have a lot of cleaning products due to arrive over the course of the next two days so I can get the paintwork up together as it is horrific at the moment so hopefully I will have some nice pictures to go up during the course of the coming week!

I did give the engine bay a good clean today but forgot to get pictures of that!


As for future plans,

: Skoda splitter
: Carpet for the back
: New shocks all round
: Private plate needs to go on (on plain plates)
: 172 black insert Xenons
: Sportlines
: Brembo HC discs with DS2500 pads
: ARB
: Wheel Refurb
: Black callipers
: Strut braces
: Remap
: Would love to get the treadlines but whether that will happen is another story!
: Want to tidy the engine bay up a bit but haven't decided how I'm going to go about it yet!

Nice car buddy. Want a remap, just ask. I'll hook you up ;) I was going to ask you when you came to collect your car from Cooksport, but you looked in a hurry.

Oh was you there? Sorry I really need to put some names to faces! Only been back in the area since November so will make sure I get to some meets! As for the re-map I will fire over a PM!

Tbh I couldnt really say, I was running with my exhaust detached from my manifold for about a week, then had the new exhaust fitted and seats out at the same time. I obviously noticed an improvement but it would have been the re-attaching of the exhaust! Its going to be what, about the difference of you running on a full tank, or a near empty tank I guess!

For me it was more about not having to take passengers in the back as I hate driving with a car full!

^^ That's the main reason I took mine out in my 1.4. I shall be removing mine when I move to Bath and no longer part of a car share to work lol.
