Niall's BG 182

[Big_Steve_T]

Stunning car and build thread @Niall 👍

I’ve had a very similar engine built by Carl aka Bloke over 2019. I’m delighted he did all the work for you before hIs recent and VERY public fall from grace.... Builds like yours are the reason I took my engine to him in Jan 2019 and eventually got it back in Dec 2019. Unfortunately I’m still waiting for my gearbox to turn up as/when he comes out of that black hole he hides in... *

*These are not the views of Cliosport but the views of @Big_Steve_T who is getting g throughly p1ssed off with it all

Reading your thread gets me re-invigorated to get mine back together and I’m planning on getting the Chris at EFI to re-map it also.

Can I ask about the injectors you chose? I was told that 197/200 injectors were the way to go with a 197 Cammed Clio engine, do the ones you chose perform better?

Niall's ones are 197 injectors

Niall's ones are 197 injectors

Mine are Magneti Marelli IWP043’s, from a PMS ITB kit originally.

So they’re not actually 197 ones, but are 330cc like 197 ones, I believe the 197 ones have like a long nossle on them?

 

[JamesBryan]

Not too much different than the 042's then size wise, just more flow.

Absolutely bloody lovely. Nice nice quality mods, attention to detail and finish.
I cant wait to get my Pole Positions fitted

 

[Jekyll]

One of the best 182s out there in my opinion. Spec is perfect and all colours done bang on! 👍👍

 

[Crayola]

Very nice, good update too.

Much nicer than @Louis!

Rather rich from a lad that cant fix his own cars😉😂x

Cheers! You’ll love the PP’s, one of the best things I’ve done to the car, they’re expensive, but no other seat will do after you’ve sat in one compared to other buckets. Support in all the right areas without being restrictive, and really comfy! Get what you pay for 🤷🏻‍♂️

Cheers mate! Hopefully there’s an opportunity to have a nosey at yours at some point this year!

 

[Niall]

This arrived As some will know, this will make a night and day difference.

Box is being rebuilt currently then this will be going in. Very excited.

 

[frayz]

Good man. You’re going to love the additional hook up. Mines a mostly standard car and the difference the diff makes on the road is massive.
Easily one of my favourite changes on the car. 🙂

Best thing you can do to a FWD hot hatch.

Definitely! I drove @JamesBryan’s which has the Quaife on some roads near us a while ago, and I was staggered at the extra mechanical grip, and then also the traction and composure it gained. Even little bumps or crests in the road where it would upset one wheel and lose traction normally, with the diff it just pulled smoothly.

 

[Christopher]

Love this! It's come a long way since I last saw it!

 

[Niall]

It’s almost literally a completely different car now! I think the shell is the only thing I haven’t changed on this from when you saw it 😂

Have to have a nosey once the nicer weather returns!

£6k for a 182 with no engine and dash, am I missing something 🤷‍♂️

Or seats.

Be lucky to get £3k tbh

tbh if he was asking 3K with the gearbox, i would have it. he can keep the gearbox and i'll have it for 1500. again 6K for a dutch person like me is too cheap. the seller however is a nice guy who provides genuine informatio, cant fault him any bit

 

[sennaalbronda]

steep** not cheap

 

[David Stuart]

Just caught up with this thread.

Car looks amazing mate. Credit to you.

Love the engine spec as well. Keeping it standard inlet abs just improving it is not very common but great results.

EDIT. Just seen it’s broken and selling at stupid money.

That’s me proper caught up now. [emoji23]

Thanks very much mate,like Mark said there are so many decent clios on this site so thank you.

kin ell my Ep3 was a bloody steal at 6k then! Even had an engine and 2 seats! Is this guy on crack??

Proper waste to see it like this. It was 100% my favourite Clio mk2. Doesn't take long for someone to ruin them.

Many thanks for your appreciation of the T.
As said there are many cracking cars on this forum but they are getting harder to find and more costly to get them into top condition.
Buy a good one and keep it.
