Just bought a full fat 182

[Mr Anderson]

This is it http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-...e-50k-both-cup-packs/1034204437#photo-content

Got him down to £2800. Was a fantastic drive, plenty power, and everything works bar the outside temp gauge measures about 4-5 degrees too low, no major worries there!

Had a few fast cars in my time, 2 x EP3 Civic type Rs, and a 305bhp Edition 30 Golf GTI.

I know how invaluable forums can be, so, nice to meet you all

Hello and welcome from the ClioSport Admin Team

 

[Corby G]

Welcome, looks a nice clean and tidy car.

 

[Stefan.]

Welcome

looks nice

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Welcome to Cliosport . Looks a tidy example and a good price too .

 

[Mr Anderson]

The seller was a copper, which was strangely reassuring

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Welcome!

 

[Mr Anderson]

Picked up the Clio tonight, with a 60 mile drive back...what a stonker of an engine. Any gear and woosh you're off, no lag, just eager as feck. Love the Xenons and the cruise.

Had a good look through all the docs and found a Cliosport membership card, vinyl and folder. Any ideas who the member is?

Love the car, can't wait to go to work tomorrow!

 

[Stu_F]

Welcome, and BARGAIN!

DEFINITELY the best colour!

 

[Mr Anderson]

Cheers Stu...I agree on both counts! Although this morning the trip computer displays "OIL OK" when starting the engine?

 

[Coops Mk1]

lovely buy chap, enjoy

definitely NOT however the best colour

 

[Stu_F]

definitely NOT however the best colour

I must admit I'd have LOVED to get a FF RB ... it's the colour I wanted since driving a 182 back in 2005. But since there were no good RBs for sale back in July I bought a BG from R-Sports.

Therefore by my logic BG is the best colour lol.

I'm pretty sure they all do that ... not something I've paid massive amounts of attention to, but I'm almost certain an oil meter appears at least when you start up.

rofl, man logic!love it!

Just ordered a set of Prima rear exhaust mounts, due to a sagging pipe and major vibrations.

Don't the prima mounts cause vibrations through the boot?

 

[Mr Anderson]

Typical, i search every Prima thread, and read it stiffens up the exhaust a treat, with no vibrations. Once i buy the things, all the bad reviews turn up lol

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

They might be alright dude. I'm only saying that as I was looking to get one for my BTM exhaust but people warned me that they can cause vibrations through the boot floor.

 

[Mr Anderson]

The reviews i've read say no extra vibrations. No doubt i'll post my findings when they're fitted.

 

[George182]

It's not boot floor vibrations that are the problem.

The stiffness of the mounts can cause the exhaust to crack - but of all the people that have used these mounts I think I have read of it happening to 1 person. It should be fine.

I have replaced the standard rubber with something similar to the prima mounts - it's been fine and the exhaust doesn't droop anymore!

 

[Matthew]

Welcome to the forum, you look to have got a nice car there for peanuts!

 

[Mr Anderson]

Sounds like shitey welds on the exhaust.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Thanks Matt, i'm well chuffed with it. Stacks of history from another CS member, just wish I knew his username lol

 

[WhiteHartMart]

Congrats on the new car and welcome.

Had a Ed 30 Golf in my past also - miss that car too.

Can't wait to (eventually) get my hands on a 182.

 

[karol_SVK]

Welcome, really nice example 182.

There should be a membership number on the membership card.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Aye there is, I take it I can search using that? I presumed I needed the username.

Cheers

I dont miss my Eddie, 2007 car and the wings needed replaced due to rust

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/member.php?80892 is my profile, just change the member No. and it should work.

 

[Mr Anderson]

Sweet, thanks karol

 

[Corby G]

I do remember a Copper being on here, however I don't know his username. Ask a mod/admin. Also try the search bar at the top with some key words, maybe worth a try?
