Spec/condition seem brilliant too, can't wait to see how she's progressed in a few months.

Jekyll's RB182 Progress Thread
- Thread starter Jekyll
- Start date
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
Mark, I have a nice Cup RB Spoiler on mine at the moment. I'm undecided yet if I'm keeping my car or selling it (will decide once my Golf arrives).
If you still have the T spoiler then, and I keep my car.. I'll be in touch!

Done a few things this week.
Decided to fit the decat. As you can see it has new lambda sensors. These were replaced with the last few months.
Even with it fitted, its a very quiet system. By far the quietest i've ever had.
Noise ingredients came so i planned to fit them.
As i started to remove parts, i found a few more things to do. First off was to remove the old "Fatty" induction kit.
I removed the throttle body and gave it a clean.
Cleaned
While that was off, i decided to remove the engine cover as i think they look better without them. Underneath was a little bit grubby so i decided to clean it up with a wire brush and scotch pads and give it a quick spray of silver.
The fuel rail guard and inlet was done also. I do plan on doing these a bit better at a later date and possibly do the inlet a grey colour but for now i just wanted to tidy it up a bit. Will do the belt cover too at a later date.
These also came from @Sesqui89 so i got them fitted. I meant to text you Jamie, but forgot but as you can see, they arrived :smile:
While the bumper was off i removed the acoustic valve.
I also shortened the air pipe and used a bolt to close it up.
Induction kit fitted.
Breathe filter at the back of the inlet.
Got some new mats so i hoovered the car and fitted them. I normally get the Renault Sport ones but people on here have been buying the dynamique ones as they are the same material and quality, but instead of having silver piping and the Renault Sport logo, it has a plan Clio logo. Nice and simple and also a fair bit cheaper. £60 for the sport ones and £25 for these ones.
With that all done a gave it a quick wipe over and took some quick pics.
Going to remove the Heko wind deflectors too i think.

Does it make you miss yours as yours was very nice. Low mileage too.
Will probably remove the hekos today. As for the plate, it does suit a smaller one, but I worry that I'll get pulled. Just my luck. Tbh I do have a smaller plate for it but it's a bit too small. Maybe at a later date, I'll get a size between the one I have in the shed and the one that's currently on.
Thank you Buddy. Not mint, but good for the age/mileage for sure.
As for the blanks, I bought them off here from the previous owner. You can buy them off eBay for just shy of £30, but they come unpainted.
I'm thinking grey of some sort for the upper inlet. Not sure yet though. Needs doing properly, but looks a lot better than before.
Typical. Tbh I was waiting on the silicone bends but the came in Friday so I manged to get it all done, otherwise I would of have to have waited till next weekend.
May look into this.
Cheers Rob. As I said, it's not mint but tbh I'll probably never get exterior bits painted on it. I'm going to enjoy this one and not chase it to be mint. It's very clean as it is for 106k.
Told you I'd be in another Clio by CSF
Would like to see this also.

Only just seen the tag as I've had a nice day of building flat pack furniture! The washer blanks, induction and inlet mani are looking fantastic Mark. Was really sad to let this car go but I'm going to really enjoy keeping up to date with your progress on here, just from what I've seen already I'm sure you'll take it to the next level :smile:. First day of the new commute in the Volvo on Tuesday, I'll let you know how I get on!
@Mr Blonde and jekyll. Here's the pics, not the best angle but I cba to dig through my laptop files [emoji23]

Really nice mark. Does look better with the washer blanks. I'm after getting done but in black I think

Yeah I like that @LiquidYellDan nice work,was it just normal paint not high temp paint?
Where did you get the blanks from @Dr Jekyll?
It's just normal paint. Be sure to prime it well! 3 primer coats, 2 or 3 colour and a few lacquer coats.
As it's just inlet manifold, only heat it gets is general heat in the engine bay. Did a track day and it got very hot in the bay and paint looked perfect still

i'll have to give it ago,any tips and what paint was it mate please? @LiquidYellDan
sorry I hijack your thread @Dr Jekyll
sorry I hijack your thread @Dr Jekyll
All halfords rattle cans. Paint was Peugeot metallic graphite grey [emoji106]
Don't get the VHT version of this. I've used it, after a few months it's turned a greenish colour and looks gash :down: I should of followed Dans advice and done it his way.

Another multi quote guys, sorry!
Thank you Jamie. I'm very happy with the car, so thanks for selling me a good 'un
Hopefully the Volvo will do you proud on the mpg. Still OK for you now you've had it a bit?
Thanks Tom. As i said, it was only quickly done to tidy it up. I think at a later date I'll redo it but better and in a different colour. I want to remove the sound deadening under the bonnet and spray the underside on the unpainted parts too.
Yeah I like that. I like how you've got it silver underneath too. Think I'm sold tbh.
Get them colour coded. It won't look poverty spec then
Don't get high temp paint. They always come out dull and tbh the normal stuff can withstand the heat on these.
I got them from the previous owner but he got these ones:

@MrBlonde
No worries mate. Group buy on paint? Lol
It's a great colour against the silver.
VHT paint has always had a crap finish. It goes too matte looking and never looks like the colour you buy!

Chip?
Which piper cross filter did you go for? I have the same silicon hose set up and need a new filter.
Jekyll

Pipercross C0171 buddy. It doesn't come with neck so you'll have to buy an ally joiner too.

Good to hear, your not staying in the premier inn at Scunthorpe on the Friday are you?
Me and the misses will be driving up on the Friday and staying in the premier inn, we have track time in the afternoon then staying with some family on Saturday night
Jekyll

Yes Dan we are actually. Not 100% sure if we've booked it yet, will need to double check with the organiser/wench.
We stayed there last year and it was decent.

Yes it's all good still thanks Mark. Only achieving 51mpg at the moment but that must be the way I'm driving it. Still better economy than the clio and it's nice and comfortable on the commute so all is well. Heated seats are a Godsend! Have a new CD changer unit on the way from the US so will be able to swap over the internals when that arrives and hopefully solve the "Deck Error" issue. May even update your original S40 thread. One of the rear tyres appears to have a puncture as it's losing ~3psi a day but it's manageable and these things happen. Glad you are still enjoying the clio! :smile:

Mark how does the induction set up sound. I'm guessing you have had the fatty style one at some point?
