[deano9621]

[andy1982]

Looks smart mate just got the fatty induction kit on mine sounds like death on full throttle can't recommend it enough

 

[deano9621]

ideal ;-) can't wait till I do mine,already have the scorpion exhaust,which was a steal for £140 from someone local and is in very good condition,which I fitted. Next I'm getting the rear disc's done as I have a rumbling bearing :-( and will fit them myself as well,gives me something to do

 

[Chris197F1]

Nice mate! Ive also just bought Fattys induction kit but not fitted it yet, quite a bit cheaper than the Ktec so maybe save yourself some pennies

 

[deano9621]

[Luke...]

Looks good mate, cant wait to get a 182.

recently got another bit of a bargain in the form of a set of refurbished Turinis which I'm cuffed with as they are practically mint condition.. Here's a pic

 

[Chris_Beer]

Wheels look immaculate!

I've seen this car on the road a couple of times and it looks fantastic condition deano! I spotted the Ren plate miles away on outland road a few weeks ago

Good to see it on the forum!

 

[deano9621]

cheers Chris when I first spotted yours,what stood out for me was the colour and how very tidy it was mate,a credit to all your hard work....keep up the great work
Deano

 

[Ed.200]

Might have been you I saw out the other day.
Looks very tidy

 

[Mr Plums]

That looks brilliant mate.

 

[deano9621]

many thanks mate,have been reading you project thread too,and would love to charge mine..when I can afford it cheers Deano

 

[deano9621]

more new bits for the 182 in the form of some new genuine badges,and a comical French sticker

 

[Chris_Beer]

I'm really struggling to see the difference in the last two photos lol, I swear it's the same? Or have you replaced the badges from wear and tear?

remove the elf sticker next

 

[deano9621]

ended up accidently loading 2 photos the same lol,and I did replace them for wear and tear...wanted some nice and new shiny ones

How much were the new original badges? really want to order some myself.

 

[deano9621]

they are a bit expensive,but I get staff discount by a mate at Renault in Plymouth so I got them just under £60:-o still expensive

 

[Greeny.]

Loose the random chav stickers and all good

 

[deano9621]

recectly done a few more little bits for the 182, got some speedline stickers for the turini's but not sure about white as i have some black ones too? and i fitted the hydro dipped carbon effect bullets...what do you reckon☺

 

[deano9621]

also forgot to mention that i also recently fitted a k-tec induction kit i got of here from The Fonze(sam) which took a while to get here as he made a boo boo with the postage as it did a trip to ireland before it got to me but just love that induction noise

 

[Chris_Beer]

Love the KTR filter on mine, sounds mental.

Strangely I also have the Speedline decals to fit but thought I would try it without them for now, I have some silver ones and gunmetal to choose from but unsure?!

 

[deano9621]

i went with white ones but not too sure now,but i have a set in black which seem's a bit daft but they won't stand out to much
on a change of subject i spent a bit more money today, and got my new rear discs and pads from renault at a really good price from my mate at his work...
rear disc's
brake pad's
and spacers for disc's
£120 all in
so did the deed and all went to plan a peach ,was about an hour tops...so im a happy bunny, here a few pics before and after

 

[deano9621]

a little package turned up today with my new bulbs for the 182, they are the prism style with I'm still not to sure about but at £15 for the four I thought I would give them a go ...here's a few pics before and after

 

[deano9621]

recently did a small job of changing my steering wheel as it was showing the signs of melting as all clio sport wheels do, and got a good result from eBay on a very good condition wheel from a low mileage sport for a bargain price of only £62 :smile:...so here are a few pics...looks and feels so much better

 

[deano9621]

did another small job a week or so ago recently, which I was thinking of doing I have had my engine cover colour coded to the 182 as I needed to get my n/s wing mirror cover resprayed as I had a little accident and scuffed it while getting into my garage so I thought get the engine cover done at the same time. ..and cost £40 all in very pleased with the results and got the graphics for the cover of eBay. ..think it's someone on here ?
Here's a few pics

 

[deano9621]

only after a couple of weeks of fitting the new low mileage original wheel I found on here a snappy retrimed wheel for sale ,so did the deal with Lee (arctic-182-rs) and very pleased with it. .defo a better quality leather and finish. .many thanks to Lee again ..
a few pics

 

[DH_GTI]

Looks a lovely car. Miss my artic so much.

 

[deano9621]

next job on my list is fitting new genuine front discs and pads while at the same time will tidy up calipers with wire brush and then paint silver as I have done to the rears and also painted the lip of the disc's to prevent the rust
Got the disc and pad set from my mate at voters in Plymouth for a good price again at £119 all in Inc the dreaded vat, will put a few pic's up later when I've painted and fitted the parts

 

[BREMBO]

Looks good, like the plate

 

[deano9621]

thanks mate

 

[deano9621]

well all done fitting the front discs and pads and one side decided to be a pain in the ass as the disc did not want to leave the hubbut finally gave in after me hitting it hard a few times.
then cleaned everything up for some silver paint which I painted the calipers with and the lip of the disc's, then when I went to put all of it back together?
had another problem which was something I did not thing would be a hassle ...The bloody brake pads would no fit the calipers at all...so I popped up to my local garage and they let me grind off a small amount of each pad and now fit spot on...and my garage said it happen quite a lot on brake pads...even genuine?
so all done and dusted and look so much better than before. ..some pics

 

[deano9621]

well the time had come to get my tyres done so went and got a new full set of toyo's fitted and went from 195 to 205 45 16's which seem to fill the arch much better:smile: so happy days. ..here's a few pics. ...and love the smell of new rubber :hearteyes:

 

[deano9621]

Well another update again,and this time it is the waterpump after hearing stories of pump failures and others going on forever I did not want to tempt fait:grimacing:
so I got a mate of mine to get the job done for me as work doesn't give me time to do it myself :tonguewink:
and he is a mechanic by trade so slipped him some cash and all done....and just at the right time too,as the old one had started weeping. .as you can see in one of the pic's

as you can see her:coldsweat:..at least it's done now...cost me some cash but nick is always ready to help
no doubt that won't be the last job left on her to do:smile:
is a renault after all
