Have JMS sorted the problems they had with the first batch of manifolds?

 

[Wazza182]

What problems .................. nothing too serious i hope?

the reason for the delay is because the base manifold has been revised into one piece.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Have JMS sorted the problems they had with the first batch of manifolds?

The problem was with the injector pockets not sealing correctly on the jenvey MR23 in once case. We have resolved this with our own MR25 Manifold.

Old (left) New (right). You can see the weld on the old hand unit around the base of each of the injector pockets.

 

[Dave..]

Ah I see!

Looks more like pritt stick than welds though :S

Wozza your very local I'm only in Sidcup.

Do you rate Hayes Engineering in Erith? How much did they charge for exhaust fitting if you don't mind me asking (PM if preferred)? Definitely somewhere for me to bear in mind for the future for power runs if the need arises. Top project, jealous of your low mileage, my BG's just ticked over 81,000!!

 

[Wazza182]

Hi Wick, im only up the road.

Hayes Engineering were spot on with fitting the exhaust as they needed to cut off the standard one due to being on one piece, the cost was around £60.00 and they supplied new clamps and cleaned the exhaust as it was second hand.

The power runs were charged at £50.00 a time and that included half a dozen runs, its a handy place to go as they are only around the corner from me compaired to the likes of surrey rolling road.

Im looking at getting my whiteline anti roll bar, gearbox linkage and uprated Dog bone mount fitted there in the near future.

Wazza* (sp lol )

Thanks for the info mate, Surrey Rolling road was the obvious choice for me as well but nice to know there is somewhere local. You BG has some of the exact choice mod's that I'll be going for in the near future. I'll give you a wave if we cross paths! Car looks brilliant

 

[Wazza182]

Thanks Wick, if you need a spin out in the motor give me a pm.

 

[stevecope]

Maybe colour code front & Back Renault badge black or anthracite like the alloys?

 

[Wazza182]

Its all about being standard on the outside with a bit of trickness

make it look standard then fly off........... i like it

 

[g-rafter]

very nice car you got there mate

 

[Wazza182]

I had to make a few amendments the the oil catch tank as the inlet was in the wrong place, so i managed to get the feed tapped into the other side as this meant the pipework would be neater with the outlets plugged with some tidy Allen key bolts. I will just need to come up with a bracket to fix via the battery/Ecu rail

After around 5 weeks of waiting the anti roll bar turned up from Demon Tweeks, many thanks to Paul White for keeping me up to date on the progress :approve:

Assembled my spare the Powerflex Dogbone mount ready for when i get to JMS

Well with just over a year of ownership I've now been tempted to buy a set of ............................. Bahhhhhh bahhhhh

You've got it Speedline Turinis originally from K-TEC but currently getting them refurbished in anthracite

Just awaiting the Call from Tom @ JMS to get the car booked in and i will be happy as Larry

 

[Wazza182]

***UPDATE***

Managed to get booked into JMS on the 10th May for the fitting of the RS2 manifold, brake lines , fluid, front discs and pads.

Then I'll put on the refurbished turinis.

 

[Jekyll]

Thank Jekyll, i will be taking a few photos of the kit if Tom / James don't mind. I just need to rob a bank for the final payment

 

[Tom@JMS]

Yeah no worries, we can take some pics as we go.

 

[Wazza182]

Excellent Tom, It will give future customers and idea on how the revised manifold will look compared to the old design.

 

[Matthew]

Great read this mate, the new RS2 should be a nice little addition also...

 

[Wazza182]

Managed to get my Turinis back from the wheel referbishment company, im vey pleased on how they turned out. Excuse the dirty car.

 

[Sam_K]

Very very nice mate. I cant waaiiiit for my RS2 to be fitted, we should have an RS2 meet lol

 

[Wazza182]

Cheers Sam,

im getting the manifold fitted in the morrning

 

[Wazza182]

Just a quick update on the 182.

I had the car booked into JMS on the 12th of this month to get the RS2 manifold fitted, I managed to get the following items fitted / replaced

Whiteline anti roll bar
Brembo High Carbon front discs
DS2500 front pads
Goodridge braided brake lines

All that remains to be done are the following and im done;

Powdercoat battery cover
Fit Forge header tank
Fit Mocal Oil catch tank
And get the RS2 manifold mapped at RS Tuning (2nd June)

 

[Jimbo_M]

Lovely 182 dude, looks stealthy

How are you finding the car with the rs2 on?...or do you have to take your time until its mapped?

What do you think with whiteline rear arb fitted and the new brakes?

 

[Wazza182]

Hi Jimbo,

im just taking it easy with the manifold fitted, but i have notice it picks up well with manifold due to the low down torque.But once the car is mapped it should be an animal :evil:.

The car handles very well with the Whiteline ARB, before the rear end seemed to be a bit switchy but now that all gone. Sticks like s**t to a blanket

The car feels so much better to drive, this could be down to the fact my front brakes were Shagged.

 

[Jimbo_M]

Cool , get some vids/pics up and some info after its mapped, enjoy mate i bet it will be alot of fun :evil:

 

[Wazza182]

I shall do, i'll have to get one of those bullet cams from ebay. More expence

 

[-J-]

Looks great, can't wait for my RS2 to be fitted friday!

 

[Sam_K]

Im loving the new wheels! Turinis = mans wheels

 

[Wazza182]

Cheers Sam, are you still booked in at rs tuning on the 2nd june?

 

[oliver.james]

Black RS2 for winners!!

 

[Sam_K]

Cheers Sam, are you still booked in at rs tuning on the 2nd june?

Yes mate will get there about 2:45 ish, probably a good 3 1/2 hour drive for me though :dapprove:

 

[Wazza182]

Black RS2 for winners!!

I was originally going for the Black / Gold look but it didn't come out as i expected. But hey the back scheme is the winners choice

 

[Wazza182]

Yes mate will get there about 2:45 ish, probably a good 3 1/2 hour drive for me though :dapprove:

Sam it's going to be 4 hours drive for me which is a bummer, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Ill probably see you down there , well you know what my car looks like now.

 

[Glos182]

oh it'll be worth it matey

 

[Wazza182]

oh it'll be worth it matey

Thanks matey, did you manager to get your car sorted as your power was down?

 

[Chris205]

Looks great, can't wait for my RS2 to be fitted friday!

Ah shame mate I'm down JMS on Thursday getting the coilovers set up on the cup, along with my AST top mounts so hoping for the car to feel all connected again. After that my 3rd whiteline ARB will be making its way on there to finish the set up

 

[Wazza182]

Just a quick update on the clio as i managed to get the morning to myself, i had the oil catch tank sitting around for a while and decided to fit it.

Excuse the Go faster cable ties they are only temp till i get my bolts.
