my first clio P2 iceberg 172

[-D4N-]

Looking really good fella, do you not get any rubbing running that low?

 

[cliosport-carl]

I did with the 16s but 15s are fine iv also put camber on the back to get some tuck when it does dip

Got my steering wheel

Spotted myself in pfc at fcs

And quick clean today but need to finish but wings are now blended with doors and looks much better
Just a quick fix on the exhaust and tighter handbrake

 

[Jacky_T]

looks great mate! really like the progress you have made it over the thread good reading

 

[Midnight]

Great progress mate!

What rear strut brace is that? Are they easy to fit?

 

[cliosport-carl]

It's the cra99y omp one which squeaks it's nuts off I turned it upside down just to stop it making noises and it works but im sure it will be gone soon when I find a good one lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

Gave the car a proper clean with polish and sealant the lot mid week and got some nice shots with it also fitted the wheel caps iv now had for over 6 months but always thought just having 2 tabs wouldn't work but never tried it lol

also just ordered new disks as mine have no grooves left on the inside whoops will also get some braided lines and probably new fluid aswell

 

[cliosport-carl]

Not much anymore really I'll be getting back on the road soon so not a lot to do and been spending more time stripping the Mrs Clio

The Clio is going back as she now has this

But mine has now been raised a little bit just to get more road friendly but raised 10mm back and 5mm front

Also I put a bit more camber on the back but that's not noticeable unless your behind the wheel and the braided lines will be on over the weekend

 

[harry289]

Looking great. Does it scrape being so low?

 

[cliosport-carl]

No it's stiff enough and raising her a little bit helps but unless im on full lock and go over the mini roundabout it's fine

 

[cliosport-carl]

Not much has been going on as now just waiting to get my license back but the calipers where painted and arches cleaned I do need a new drivers side rear caliper though lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right sorted the caliper and started painting the engine and so far looks ok just need to put it back together and get a new samco hose

Iv also got a new water bottle coming

And the mani is matt black not gloss as it looks

 

[cliosport-carl]

So put it all together now and it looks so much better

Then decided to take the paint off the letters and it looked much better

And then my new water bottle came so fitted that to now all that's needed is a intake hose

 

[guysy]

Nice work, engine bay looks good!

 

[Lordman]

My 182's standard Alloys

 

[cliosport-carl]

Nice one we just need to sort out the exhaust now

 

[cliosport-carl]

No real update as there isn't any pics iv now got a bend for the induction so iv got a k-tec look one and over the next week I'm going to be raising the front a tad more as next week I'm back on the road well I say week its Sunday and boy am I excited to drive what iv built over the past year

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right summer time induction kit with new forge hose and jetex filter and I am now back on the road and it feels so good lol pics

 

[cliosport-carl]

will post some pics up later of my track day last month but the day made me realise maybe the suspension set up i had was in fact wrong as the rear was sagging to say the least so i am looking to get the old spax rsx kit which hopefully may be here for next week

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right pics from track

And new spax are on there way even though sadly I don't think there going to fit due to bolt spacing ah well might try the backs for a bit lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

So have got my spax and love them only problem is there for a cup and fronts dont fit but im having fun for now also sitted some hella hornes and omg there loud also cleaned it with the scooby and cup

 

[cliosport-carl]

So not a lot has really gone on witht the car just been cleaning really how ever I have fitted apex rear springs with the gaz shocks which is doing good

Then come the time for fcs which was brilliant

Then on the way back went on track at courbrough Sprint track and well kinda got home to funding my gearbox leaking quite a bit so had ordered the kit from tnd snarl and fitted that it's such a good bit of kit how ever found the gearbox to have a crack so I am in the process of trying to sort this out first but I did also order ducting for a brake duct set up so will be getting pics of this soon to

 

[cliosport-carl]

So have been very busy past few weeks got the brake duct sorted still not 100% but looks cool

Then to rectify the issue with the gearbox I kinda brought this

I had a few issues with miss fire then stripped a plug and fitted a time sert

And now all up and running again after changing the peddle

And by the way the other car is still for sale and I'm selling whole car bar gearbox

 

[cliosport-carl]

Haven't really been up to much lately as I have been selling bits but I have my new gearbox and am looking for a good time to fit it and I wanna do something more to it whalst it's out but have no idea what saying that iv put on powerflex rear bushes

And took my rear speekers out and had a squirt on at tracks which was brilliant

Something hit me as I was going round as well and you can see it on the video of the track

Also went to ren sport national that was a good day at cosford

Then over the weekend there was a show on at Rockingham and well I kinda got the whole track to myself which was awesome nobody else had booked the time I took my wets as well for a dry day but all loaded up

Then yesterday I decided to put my wets on and I have painted bits of it

 

[cliosport-carl]

Right the Scooby vacated the garage for a few days so have started the gbox now

And 3 hours later box is ready to come out

Also found this so will be contacting powerflex

 

[Dominic172]

Great looking motor, love those wheels too :up:

 

[cliosport-carl]

So box is all in now and feels really good however my window now only goes down in 1 inch intervals and I found something else today

And now found this today

 

[cliosport-carl]

And fixed it a few days after

But after hitting the curb and doing my brand new tyre I was not happy but things happen I've still got lots of bits left on my old car and need to make a list so I can put it up on here again lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

lists now all on and more sales needed im haveing a few problems with it so am in 2 minds weather to break it and get a 182

 

[Iain C]

Doing well dude. Like the fact your doing most of the work yourself too.

 

[cliosport-carl]

Yep only thing I didn't do myself was the cam and aux belts and the paint well I prepped it

 

[cliosport-carl]

And now this has happened

I've also been having some issues and after a very good 2 years I have decided to get my self this

 

[cliosport-carl]

and some more pics of the 182

 

[cliosport-carl]

 

[cliosport-carl]

The car isn't as good as I hoped but I'm going to run it over winter but I needed a new belt and I was going to remove the aircon on this one so today the postman brought me this

 

[cliosport-carl]

 

[andy1982]

Loving the 182 mate

 

[cliosport-carl]

right got some bits to get ready for this got a pms aircon kit which is on the blue one for now ive just got an rs tuner so will be using it to clear the abs fault on it when I buy the module and see how much more I can do with it and now have some more plans for this year the bits I am sure on is the gaz rear coilovers after that I need new rubber but I don't know and am undecided weather to weld up the rear axle with the pms kit and put new powerflex baring's in it and I love the pms gear shifter kit but again am undecided on it to and im waiting for a new set of seats to come up but keeping the silver one I feel is the way to go

 

[cliosport-carl]

right today i decided to have a good go at my abs light as its been on for a while now as i haven't been driving it i had a cracked disk several moths ago after changing the disks a few weeks later my abs light came on i thought this was down to my abs sensor on the front being held together by tape so i tried to remove my sensor from my spare hub however couldn't remove the sensor so put the whole hub on this didn't sort the light out so i left it as i got another car but today i have discovered whey the light was on....

however after putting this back together my light is still on now only problem is this

this was my readings from my sensors and i feel the one i bashed around and then put on hoping it would work obviously i was wrong so new sensor here i come and just looking at bits i think i might treat it to a new cv boot as its a bit greasy under there

 

[JoeMarano]

You musg be nuts having your car so low lol

 

[cliosport-carl]

its not that bad I've raised it before now and I did notice how low it was after cleaning my 182 then on to the 172 I nearly fell on the bonnet lol
