BG Clubsport edition

[SEW97]

Hi all,

After searching for 3 months I finally have a 182, I have had 100+ cars over the years but this is the first Renault I have owned. I was originally looking for a Trophy or a nice RB but after months of looking and viewing a few dogs I decided to "settle" for BG...

Fast forward to Feb 6th and I picked up my 60k mile 182 FF with factory fitted Recaros

It's a great base but had been chaved up in it's life, after the 4 hour drive home the first thing I did was rip off the awful limo tints! As it's such a low mileage example I plan to spend a few quid getting it mint and tracking it in the mean time. I use it everyday to keep the miles off the M3 so the look I am going for is a sort of poverty GT3 RS lol, stripped out but still comfortable.
This week I have made some progress such as fitting my rear cage which I had powder coated in anthracite by a local company which did an amazing job, also fitted the obligatory Sabelt steering wheel and rear carpet to tidy it all up.

Short term plans are to fit my Cooksport springs and carry out a full service then hopefully find a nice set of Turinis as I cannot stand the current wheels against the black paintwork, also a full detail once I find a set of wheels.

Hopefully see some of you at a trackday soon!

Looks nice mate. I don't believe recaros was a factory option. They've more than likely just been installed by an owner

 

[Saamjohn]

Let me know if you sell those wheel's mate, would be interested. I do have anthracite turinis but they are in dire need of a refurb

Thanks mate, they were only available on the final run of the 182s, just over 100 left the factory with them. They came in Trophy spec so poverty spec door cards and rear bench

Hi mate I have advertised them and they're a set of 5 http://www.cliosport.net/threads/16...-2-black-for-sale-trade.789147/#post-11024591

Fair enough! I stand corrected

 

[LeeRS]

Where did you get the sabelt wheel from? Really want one now. What boss dis you use? Also is the horn on a ph1 stalk?
Sorry for all the questions

Hi mate,

Sabelt came from Renault parts on eBay, boss also came from eBay and is the correct 182 boss with steering angle sensor and enough room for all the wires! and yes ph1 stalk bought from here

 

[LeeRS]

Nice one mate. I'm in a 172 with no cruise so wires shouldn't be a problem hopefully.
Thanks for the info buddy.

Ok a bit of an update!

Since last posting I have carried out...

Oil and filter service using the recomended Fuchs Race pro s and a genuine Renault filter.
Cooksport springs fitted to my oem Cup shocks as they are in good condition (only 60k)
Brembo HC discs with DS2500 pads and a brake bluid change.
Fitted new genuine badges all round including the bullets to get rid of the tacky black ones, also fitted new oem side repeaters.

I finally found a decent straight set of Speedline Turinis at last which I will be fitting some NS2R 120's as soon as they arrive from Germany! I still have to fit my Eibach camber bolts and get it setup for my first track day in the Clio, i've booked Coombe for the 11th which will be it's first shakedown so hopefully all goes well!

Here's how she currently looks after a de-chaving and full paint correction though the pics were taken while dirty, still a lot better than when I picked it up! :smile:

 

[SEW97]

New MAD tow eye fitted, stupid question but is the ring supposed to be loose and move around once fitted?

Also passed it's mot today with flying colours! Only noticed in this pic that I really need to paint the grills as they look rather grey.

 

[SEW97]

Last minute track prep...

My tyres arrived from Germany! Am I mad to fit these with a forecast for rain at Combe on Monday?

Also got my Eibach camber bolts fitted and then laser aligned buy a local firm.

 

[mikey4410]

That's really nice.gotta love a black 182.
I need to book up some track days soon.those brake pads you have bought are bloody brilliant btw.faultless at brands in my starlet

 

[montana]

Looks nice and fresh on silver turinis, suits it well imo.

 

[SEW97]

Thanks guys!

Ps Dr Jekyll yours was the only reason I considered BG after only wanting an RB or trophy!

Also the reason for the anthracite cage as I plan to get a set on 2118s to match.

Just had it cleaned and the tyres fitted

 

[Jekyll]

Nice to know it was some inspiration :smile:

Can't beat BG on 2118's. Looking forward to the pics :wink:

 

[Jekyll]

A few little teaser pics :wink:

Glad I've seen this tonight, about to order 2118s for my BG and couldn't decide between anthracite or silver. Silver it is.

 

[SEW97]

That literally looks perfect on the 2118s!

What size harnesses did you run? I really wanted a 3" set but not sure if they'll fit in the trendlines?

Unless your getting your 2118's refurbed in silver, speedline do silver 2118's but they come in a lower offset. Standard offset is ET43.

Thanks bud

My harnesses were 2" but I'm pretty sure @Sir_Dave had 3" harnesses in he's trophy with trendlines.

Lovely car mate! Big fan of 2118's

Thumbs up on the 'Clubsport Edition' It's a very similar route I've gone down also!

 

[SEW97]

Thanks mate!

Haha after seeing yours that's what made me buy a Clio in the first place and started my search for an RB or Trophy then Dr Jekyll swayed me toward BG

 

[Jekyll]

We don't take commission do we rob? @RMDavis

Actually don't you have 3" harnesses?

 

[RMDavis]

Thanks mate!

I'm very flattered mate. You've done a top job, and I look forward to seeing how things progress!

Our services are free... [emoji6] Clio community and all that!

Regarding harnesses mate I'm pretty sure my TRS harnesses are 3inch, I'd go and check them now if it wasn't stuck on a ramp at work lol!

 

[SEW97]

Need to keep this updated really!!

Since last posting I've fitted new oem 4300k xenon bulbs as the bright blue things it had previously looked awful. Also fitted a Ktec induction kit which sounds a million times better!

Had the gearbox oil changed as well as the spark plugs ready for Brands hatch which I did earlier this month where the car performed perfectly apart from my nsf wheel bolts coming undone!! I've since ordered a new set of bolts and will clean out the threads incase any copper slip is in them.

I'm pretty pleased with the car as it stands but I will be ordering a PMS shifter soon which I'll hopefully have fitted for the RenaultSport track day at Bedford if not defiantly for the Origine Rs day at Goodwood.

Thanks for reading

 

[mikey4410]

Haha I recently did lydden hill and all of my wheel nuts came loose,fronts were real bad. And I checked them the morning before I did trackday ffs.

Such a gorjus car matey

 

[182_steve]
