New 182 Owner!



Hi all,

Thought I'd do a quick introduction...

Currently have a supercharged mk2 MX5 that I use for track and road use but I didn't want to ruin the MX5 with more harsh suspension, engine mountings or anything else. I feel it's about finished!

However, I can't really ruin a Clio when they come from the factory ruined ;)

I've always liked the look of the 182 and always wanted one. This one came up relatively local to me and with already having an M Factory LSD and some other supporting mods that I'd be doing myself, I couldn't resist snapping it up!

It's been really well looked after with a ton of receipts. Been with the previous owner for the last 7 years too.

Plans are for full cage, seat and harnesses, door cards and PMS shifter turned up today too.

Want to have a nice track spec but not "rough" inside. Will keep carpets and most of the dash for now.

Driven it a few times already and really impressed me... until the electrical fault light came on down the motorway earlier and it went into limp mode! :rolleyes: Turned it off and back on and it was fine rest of the way.

EML came on after so I'll plug it in later and hopefully it's just a sensor or coil.

Will start a full project/build thread to keep track and document what I can.

Here it is just before I left with it loaded!

Obviously purchased membership too...
I grew up with these older style forums and they're a wealth of information and (usually) a great community compared to the horrible Facebook groups nowadays :D

Welcome along. Sounds like an interesting spec on the car already and should make a good track slag. You'll like it here too, its the best forum going.
 
Thanks for the welcomes!

Yeah, it's a pretty decent "fast road" spec and as a FWD car... it's impressed me round the corners for sure!

I've also got a roll centre correction kit that was thrown in with the car. It was fitted but then removed as I believe one of the spherical bearings is knackered. Need to take a proper look and get a replacement.

Just finished fitting the PMS shifter kit. Was pretty straight forward to fit and setup. Although, I've not driven it yet as the little one is in bed so I just sat it in shifting gears like I used to as a kid :D Will test it fully on the school run in the morning but the position is already 10x better and feels a bit more engaging for sure.
