[bradshaw1759]

p**n !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Matt e]

bought a new steering wheel for it as the melting on mine is getting quite bad now. its a rmd 350 dished in leather, bought it off ebay for £45 delivered brand new.
just waiting for the boss to come now from ybracing

 

[Matt e]

tints removed and fitted the new wheel

 

[Matt e]

not updated for a while, not really done to much to it recently, changed the bullets for standard ones and going to get the wing mirrors sprayed blue again.

going to give it a oil change soon and also change the brake discs aswell all round

 

[RDH]

Needs coilovers, not keen on the orange mirrors and you've put your badge too low . Other than that it looks good.

Lovely progress on this mate,

Not a fan of the orange mirrors, but i love everything else!

 

[Matt e]

Yeah I've changed my mind on them aswell going back to standard

 

[Wests Renault]

Think the mirror backings would look ace in gloss black to match the wheels

 

[Matt e]

got the orange wing mirrors resprayed and just got them back today

 

[Richyy182]

miles better. Nice Artic

 

[200 Alex]

Needs silvertecs to finish it off, and get those sport lines back on

 

[Matt e]

picked these up yesterday, plan is it get them refurbished in the cup colour and return to standard again. There actually in quite good condition, but the looks like the been resprayed and some point and it showing in a couple of places

 

[Matt e]

Got round to having the 182 wheels refurbished, i had them done in the original cup colour, also had it serviced last month and found it need a new ball joint, so treated it to 2 new ball joints and 2 new track rod ends

next on my list is to have the steering wheel retrimmed

 

[Matt e]

only a small update, i had a go at making my own induction kit

 

[guysy]

Really nice, new mirror caps look much better.

I fancy making my own ktec style filter kit too, did it cost you much?

 

[dezmondo]

Great clio, liking the return to standard, looks brilliant. How's the induction? I have sourced exactly the same parts to do the same thing.

Looks really nice that mate. How did you find the eibachs? And how did you find the solid top mounts with the powerflexed suspension?

it cost me about about £125, you can make it for alot less though

its actually ok, i thought it might make the engine bog down when it gets hot and a low revs, but it doesn't the sound it makes above 5k makes me smile and i personally think it pulls better with it

when i had the eibachs on which was a couple of years ago now they rubbed on the passenger front arch liner, so took them of. i think it might have been down to a dodgy front damper.

the top mounts are fine with the powerflex bushes the ride really isn't that harsh
