Jake's 182 Daily

[Jake Chaplin]

Hi everyone just bought my second clio 182 and new to the forum. Here are a few pics. Got a few little jobs to do but otherwise it's a good car and by far the best colour

Everybody knows Racing Blue is the best colour [emoji4]

Car looks nice, any plans?

Haha, got a few little things to sort first. Picking up some xenon headlight units tonight and I ordered some new plates yesterday with the 3/4 size for the front.

Main little things are I need a brake pedal switch, maybe a gear selector seal, and a couple of lower ball joints. Do these look like the correct ones?

After the maintainance is sorted then I can do a few mods, can't go too wild yet as its meant to be my daily lol

 

[BGEarles]

No no.

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Got to admit I am struggling to find the correct ones, loads of options keep coming up

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Gonna get them through euro car parts as on here people seem to rate them good, going to get a pair of them and also a pair of track rod ends so the suspension will be sorted and refreshed, 4 wheel alignment afterwards.

Luckily the previous owner already had silvatec bulbs so I don't need any of those, I have ordered some new plates with a 3/4 size front.

Little list I've got together so far:
Cree/LED tail lights, brake light, reverse light and both front and rear fog light bulbs.
Dewiper
Colour code boot release
Grey Renault front and rear emblems
Induction kit of some sort, this may also cute my air leak which kicks in around 2500rpm full revs
And some lowering springs

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Just looking into some springs, are the cup springs different to standard 182 springs? Or are both the same?

Cheers

Can't help you with your question but nice to see another Inferno pretty local. I've got an Inferno and based in Leeds but often in Wakefield.

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Ah nice hope to see you about

 

[Daz...]

Definitely the best colour :wink:

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Definitely, love the look in the sun

Bought a load of little bits last night, new fog light, number plate, side light, indicator, reverse, tail light bulbs. New plain number plates with 3/4 front. Some black paint for the front grills and front and rear Renault emblems, short C2 aerial, some 182 Xenon headlight units and finally 2x lower ball joints and 2x track rod ends.

Sounds similar to what I've done to mine. I bought some track rod ends and ball joints at the weekend as my drivers side is FUBAR.

I already had Xenon's, but would recommend getting white sidelights too, the yellow ones look awful.

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Yeah already got a set at home so didn't need to order any. My n/s ball joint is dead, but I thought as I'm wanting lowering springs a may as well freshen up the whole suspension, I can then get a 4WA as the steering wheel is quite abit off centre and slightly pulling. Nothing major but may as well be done to be top notch

 

[leeds2592]

Not sure how far away they are from your but I'd recommend Bram Racing for alignment, had mine done with them recently and everything was spot on!

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Thanks I'll have a look into it know a place near me who are good too so I'll do some research before hand

 

[Jake Chaplin]

Start of the little small refreshments

Short C2 aerial

Some Cree LED tail/brake light bulbs

And finally some Cree reverse light bulbs, these are amazing to be honest so bright and an awesome colour

Got my new rear plate on there also, waiting for the slightly thinner one for the front, getting better and better so far
