Clio 182 turbo, workington

[ColinG]

had a good look round this what a machine, conversion looked very tasty too!

absolutely stealthy car, was only the semi slicks that made me think something must be going on under there

 

[andyleigh]

you see it in action?

 

[Maz]

I used to live up that way, did you get any pics ?? is it someones on here ??

 

[ColinG]

no he just had the bonnet up showing it off...i walked up expecting the usual viper etc...and said out loud..f**k me its been turbo'd haha!

sorry i didnt get any pics i didnt have my cam on me, but it was a black gold 54 plate, looked standard except the tyres, exhaust and brakes

 

[Maz]

Nice, I always see a few RS's when I go back home to visit but never seen this one

Are there many people on here from Workington,Whitehaven and Carslise way ??

 

[ColinG]

Near Kendal mate. I will come up sometime soon though. But just wish i had, had this convo 4 months earlier as i left home yesterday to come back to uni. But i will pm you when am back as am home quite often, as i have to leave the 172 at home. (it would cost me £1000 to park in my student carpark - robbing b******s) and just cant afford it.

I'm surprised it had any wheels if it was left parked in Workington.

I can't believe you've just admitted that on a public forum...

 

[Maz]

Nothing wrong with being a Kells lass .. Greenbank was a dump but Kells was miles better

 

[GaryS]

Well relative to Greenbank Beirut is paradise...

There are some nice parts of Kells, good views over the sea as well

 

[Maz]

Yep I lived on Solway Road, smashing view over the solway firth (sp) was fab sititng in the conservotory in summer , looking out over the sea

 

[ColinG]

sounds like theres a few south scotland/cumbria owners being stealthy on here!

 

[Maz]

I have started a thread in local meetings to fiind out who is int he NW for meets etc would be good if peeps could add their name and location in there

Small world huh, how old are you Steve if you won't mind me asking, I lived on HIllcrest for 12 months with my partner on Jerico (sp) road

 

[Andyman]

Saw this 182 or should i say heard it down at the cruise.

thought it was a fake dump valve making the noise !!

Standard ride height the lot.

Any ideas what conversion it was?? home made, BB, K-tec ??

[ColinG]

andy...im sure it was the k-tec conversion..he mentioned it was circa £6000


standard ride height, only the exhaust, brakes and tyres gave anything away although i overheard its about 309bhp..it could have coilies of course..just not set to a lowered height

 

[blackmagic]

im from cumbria neva seen this knocking around :dapprove:
