MY 2004 CLIO 182

[Ex-User (113397)]

Hey guys.
Purchased this lovely 182 last night from Broadstairs Kent. Has a few mods and it's a fab little car.Love driving it so much already lol.

 

[SEW97]

Looks really clean mate! I think the wheels would like better in silver or anthracite though

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Yeah it's relatively mark free and in good nick,and yeah I totally agree with you but the dude who I bought the car from has literally just spent £150 on having them sprayed so will be keeping them black for now.

 

[Clio_fool]

Looks good, but did you park it like that? [emoji33]
I got a black one myself the other week, great fun for the money.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Thanks matey.
I park it like that as the roads very very narrow as a lorry always parks the other side of the road so I don't want it caught by a car or lorry going in between.

Yeah bang for buck is just superb.

 

[Clio_fool]

That curb scares me near those fresh turini's! Looks like it has some chunky spacers on there too. I'd be looking at lowering it a bit though.

I'm older than I should be!

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Yeah needs lowering defo.gaz suspension is up the road from me.will be getting them soon

 

[Clio_fool]

I put gaz shocks on my last R5, quality gear, should be good on the clio.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

After a big detailing session

 

[Clio_fool]

That's what mine needs, or even just a wash!

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Had a sorta miss fire issue which I believe is to do with the enlarged throttle body maybe. I have ordered a standard body and since found this under diagnostic

The cat fault is because of the decat but obviously the miss fire on three shouldn't be there so next step is new plugs leads and coil pack.

 

[arranshuker]

Looks nice and clean. Have to agree about the black wheels though.

 

[Louis]

What app are you using on your phone? Looks different to torque that I use. Car looks very clean though! I quite like the alloys black...

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

The app use is an app called torque pro I believe.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Treated clip to new coil pack ,leads,and spark plugs.

Old plugs looked ok though

Nice and tan

And also since it rained it's nice to see the detailing had an effect on the paint

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

New injectors from renparts and still no joy,cars still bogging down when full throttling

 

[Clio_fool]

They might work better if you fit them and then try.[emoji1]
Sorry mate, I had nothing useful to offer.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

so today i was a busy boy
removed manifold,fitted new throttle body (correct size now 60mm),blasted out manifold with a can of carb cleaner inside and out,new manifold gasket map sensor and tarted up the manifold.

turns out the issue with the car was a fualty map sensor !!!!!!

so glad its sorted now.it runs so well now

if anybody needs map sensor part number from euros for map its

havent got round to fitting new lambda sensor yet but will very soon.

also did one of the rear exhaust mounts,gota order another to do second mount.

 

[Gus]

Love it. Black looks brilliant when clean. Does need lowering springs.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

braided lines have arrived,

also managed to purchase a new immaculate dash.

 

[andyj007]

where did you get the insert for the exhaust mount?

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

The mount was £21.51 from eBay. You need two though for exhaust.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Today I fitted new dashboard as old one was damaged and looked shocking.


I did oil and filter change with the addition of a magnetic sump plug which always work well on any engine to catch steel particles.

I managed to get hold of a spare tyre,jack kit and set of lockers as my car had none of these items

Might be me that's tired but if this is a 182 there is no spare wheel well.... Just going to tie the spare down in the boot?

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

It will be bolted down in a proper fashion.watch this space dude ☺

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

got round to fitting the poxy new front lambda sensor and it was a right faf.

also me clio owners pack came ! lol

lastly yesterday i had my rear lot of windows tinted

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Bit of progress today.

Have relocated battery to the boot.cleaned the engine bay a little

I booked a trackday with a good friend of mine
Lydden hill 14th may full day. £150

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Took a bit of work but rear braided lines are now fitted and brakes bledd with new dot 4 fluid. Brakes already feel better and yet to do the front.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

So today was the continuation of braided line fitting.fronts needed doing but unfortunately both bleed nippels snapped whilst attempting to undo them so I had to get some new ones.luckily my good friend is breaking a clio 182 atm so I am sorted ☺

They bled so easily and had the job done pretty dam fast. Brakes feel so much better now and coupled with the already fitted ds2500s brakes are bloody good

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Other things to do are

Fully underseal car
Fit gauges
Fit rear camber plates
Top up coolant
Fit new foot pedals
Carpet inside of car

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Fitted rear camber plates today

 

[GavC]

Brilliant project thread so far and work on your behalf! Rear tints are a nice touch

Thanks mate, yours looks mint too. Agree that it needs some added lows though!

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Fast approaching trackday need to get bits done (two nights let to do work on car)

Tonight I got to finishing some bits in the boot area

Managed to carpet whole rear end and remove all the sound deadening.

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

 

[Ex-User (113397)]

Still gotta run the battery line properly at some point but it's all safe and soldered so just cosmetically needs sorting.

Going to fit some new grippy pedals tommorow and just do a last few bits.
