cliogek: CLIO 182

[cliogek]

Hello,

I'm Richard from the Netherlands and i live in Nijmegen, the oldest town of the Netherlands.

I drive a Clio 182 in racing blue(dynamo blue) mj2004, with white 16" OZ Turini Corse rims and Michelin Exalto tires.
The car is almost original. I only changed the steering wheel with real leather in Clio 3 Gordini look and an aluminium RS 600gr strut brace.

Next year i wanna tune the engine with Jenvey throttlebodies, DTA management and some other nice things.
And i wanna buy a better/lower suspension kit(i don't know wich one to buy yet) and the K-Tec carbon rear strut brace.
Inside i maybe want to change the seats into blue/grey Megane RS Recaro seats.

A few pictures:

Nice, liking the smurf! You live anywhere near NACCO?

Get some Gordini stripes to match the wheel

talking about the wheel, does yours auto return yet? If it doesn't straight away, keep using it 'cause it'll loosen up a lot!

 

[keechy]

no, no stripes.

Seats sound good!
or a retrim would be nice!!

Thanx!
And sorry for my English. It's not very good but i think you wil understand the most things i write down.

This year i sold my Vauxhal Corsa B 2300 ITB/DTA with 242,6bhp.
Very fast 0-60miles in 5.2 sec.
I drove Vauxhall since 1988(till 2010) but i never liked a car so much like the Clio 182.
I love it and i will enjoy it for many years!!!

I don't know if i want the Gordini stripes.
Normally i don't like stripes, but racing blue/white rims with Gordini stripes looks very nice i think.
I can't buy them in the Netherland, only at Ebay. But i don't know if the sizes are original?

But first of all i like to lowering the car.
I wanna buy some stuff by K-Tec but it's soooo far to drive.
So, when you go on vacation to the Netherlands, please contact me!
Netherland is a very nice country!

Questions:
What is the best suspension kit around £600-£700? Ik like around -50 at the front and around -40 at the rear.
And do you like the KTR short throw quickshif gearlever?
Please help me.

Please can you explain me what you means with your text;

I speak and read English but i don't understand what you means exactly.

Anybody knows Engine Dynamics?
http://www.engine-dynamics.com/

I'm interested in their Clio Sport 182 Turbo Conversion.
Is that good stuff?
Anybody who has this kit fitted?

 

[cliogek]

Renault Sport, less than 600 grams!

The same as Baaf Rallying is using.

What have i done since my last update:

- Brembo HC front discs + Ferrodo DS2500 pads.
- new Michelin PE2 tyres in 205/45/16".
- i changed the orange bulbs into white leds.
- new original discs and pads on the rear.
- aluminium tow eye.
- i ordered the Bilstein B14PSS coilovers. I will receive them in august.
- and last but not least! Today i received the (rare)Clio V6 ph2 / 182 Trophy spoiler inclusive the shorter cylinders!

A few new bit since a year ago

Michelin PS3 tyres


The car with the V6/Tropy spoiler


I lowered the car with a Bilstein B14PSS kit


I bought a (groupuy) Scorpion exhaust and TPI wheel bolts


I ate a Clio cake with my birthday this year


And some little changes around the car like rear strut brace, Powerflex bushes, some lightning thunder airbrushes under the bonnet, a Sparco fire extinguisher, Clio RS182 cup wheels with Michelin Aplin A4 winter tyres, RenaultSport mats, new RS182 gearknob etc.


Next plans are;
Vibra-Technics engine mounts on the car, buy a Whiteline ARB, cleaning and painting engine parts and maybe some more horsepower en Quaife differential!
And next year Brembo brakes and a little more power.

@YoungyWHU.....you walked the "Nijmeegse 4 Daagse"!
4 days walking in Nijmegen!
4x40 or 4x50 km?

 

[YoungyWHU]

4x50km. I done it with the RAF in 2005, 2006, 2007
Not keen on the walk but the street parties and music all week is amazing!! Would love to go back again soon.

The parties, food and music are always great in Nijmegen.
I always have to work during the 4-Daagse.

When you come to Nijmegen again, you can bring some Clio part to me!
