no bother. you ever go along to the cruise a blyth?
I've been a few times, not recently though! Think the last one was Halloween?
182 trophy

I used to have a saxo 
182 trophy
lol me too!
Haha, I hated mine. Sold my first sport and got that because i lost my job. Ended up keeping it for about 3 years. Got that sick of it, i ended up buying anothrt sport. Best choice i've made for a long while.
182 trophy
lol mine was a whole life times worth of mechanical problems with in the space of 1 year... clio is on a whole different level.
Mine wasn't that bad actually. In 3 years, i replaced 1 driveshaft and the 2 front wheel bearings lol.
But yeah, clio is 4 million times better on every level :star:

lol i had new gearbox bearings, 1 front wheel bearing, whole back axle, 3 new driveshafts, new back break calipers... lol the list goes on mate. I'll drop you a pm next time im along at that cruise if you want to come along for a bit. im usually the with a 206 gti 180 and a really fast old shape focus rs. makes a decent line up.
Yeah man, cool. Always up for a drive out. (When the Mrs lets me )
)
182 trophy
haha same problem as me by the sounds of things. lol im usually ok though cos she works most weekends. I,ll prob catch you at a meet befor hand any ways. have a good christmas mate.
Yeah no doubt. You too fella.
No real update.. Just a quick clean and i've had a go at a few moving pictures. Not great but it was my first go at it..
Found this pretty cheap. So didn't really see any need to get a 182 really. Just prefer the 182's wheels and exhaust.
Bit of an update.. Had an issue for about a week now. Sounded like what i thought was a wheel bearing when at motoroway speeds.
Turned out my drivers rear caliper had been grabbing on, resulting in the disk getting very very hot.
Anyway.. the disk ended up like this.
All is fixed now, replaced both rear disks, free'd off all the sticky bits on the caliper, and put in new pads. Drives like new again.

Thanks mate, but i bought new ones for either side, aswell as pads. Apreciate the offer though. 
Spent an hour or so today cleaning the car.
I'm still thinking maybe a tad lower. What do you's all think?

Cheers. I see you've taken those white wheels off already? Looks much better the way you've got it now.
Haha, how long will it stay like that?
Haha, That'll be a whlie then.
Nothing new to update, just a few new pictures.
Advice/Idea's needed..
Right, i'm getting an exhaust made next week, from a friend who's recently just started up. Now, the dilemma i have is...... Do i get a 182 style exhaust made, with slash cut tips, or just get a recessed 172 style one? I'm not sure what to do.

with you having those wheels on i think it would be good to see it with the 182 style exhaust to match.
The wheels won't be on for very much longer. Getting some new ones.
Anyway, I've made my choice and went for a recessed one. Gets fitted on tuesday hopefully. I'll post up some pictures of the process when it's all done and fitted.
Also, another update, i've ordered a carbon front splitter, and bought some carbon dash inserts.

what alloys you going for mate, good idea btw.... a 172 is a 172 and a 182 is a 182!
i like good standard looking clios with subtle mods myself.
Are you selling the 182 alloys by any chance, i have a mate who is after a set???

Turini's. Nah I'll be keeping them to put on the Mrs' car. She's been at me for months to sort her some new wheels haha.
Yeah, that's what swung me on the exhaust front. As much as i like the 2 pipes out the back, i'd rather just have the 1.

Exhaust is all done now, also fitted my carbon dash strips which turned up today.
All i need now is an exhaust surround and all should be well.
