Clio
Evening all, hope I find you well. We join you about 2 weeks into ownership of our 182. (I say we as I’m in this with my brother) after chatting about getting a 182 for the track on an off for about a year, the Christmas break bought on an impulse buy....
2005 with 130,000 on the clock, stripped out rear, 2 sets of 15s one with as new uniroyal rs3s and the other set got treated to a fresh set of nankang ar1s over the break.
Drives straight as ya like, gram lowering springs and recent OE shocks, front an rear struts, power flex dog mount an engine mount. New top strut mounts OE. Ktec braided lines, recent OE rear discs an pads, tidy brembo HC front discs with an unknown pad 40% worn so we dropped in a set of EBC orange stuff pads and bled the system with ate high temp fluid. And changed the gearbox oil out for some elf 75w80 fully synthetic.
Oh and she’s running a foam filter induction kit with cold air feed from the head light.
that brings us up to now......our first ever track day booked for tomorrow at donington. Both mega excited an I think secretly a tad nervous!
We would have serviced it but the guy we bought it off seemed genuine enough and said it had recently had a service, so we will be giving the engine a service after tomorrow.
while I’m here, anyone know what Tyre pressures I should be starting out with tomorrow with the sets of tyres mentioned. Also how damp should it be before I switch to the rain sports?
sorry for the long first post and lack of pictures. Hopefully I’ll make up for that after tomorrow and perhaps a YouTube link.??
so that’s it, the journey has begun. We don’t have a plan as to where we’re going with this at all so we’re just going to wing it for now and see what happens.
