My Racing blue 182

[MichaelHirst]

Done a small write up but thought may aswell start a project thread.
Started off with a 1.2 clio as a first car when I passed my test! Insurance was £2000 on this . Loved it but didn't give it much care! And after a year it started misfiring and was looking for a 182 anyway so sold it off cheaply.

I'm guessing you missed some of this thread out?

started looking into 182's and loved the rb colour. So travelled 2 hours away and bought this one

Loved it as only being 18 it was an amazing jump from the 1.2 anyway! Bought it with 54,000 miles and only had a milltek system fitted a few hundreds miles ago. The guy was in his late 30's and said people were starting to look at him weird when driving it. Since then I have made subtle changes the first was a 3/4 plate which I've been told to take off or next time will be fined. Then cooksport lowering springs which made it sit lovely and handles amazing! Then turini's

Suits the car so much better! Also had the brake calipers sprayed. Next was a induction kit and decat ready to put the rs tuner pops and bangs map on. Which i enjoyed for a while until it gets to much so it has the 98 Ron map on which I couldn't recommend enough to anyone! Always been doubtful about the stripes and today took them off! The last pic with stripes

couldn't believe how easy they were to get off! Left a small amount of fade but will get the machine polisher on that next weekend! Next step is to get anthracite badges and bullets!

Very nice car for 18! I'd have left the stripes though.

Looks great with the Turini's, RB is a great colour.
