Renaultsport No. 6 - £1700 Arctic 182

[Clart]

Follwing on from this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...pgrade&highlight=planned+supercharger+upgrade

I collected this a couple of weeks ago after it had been stood neglected on someones drive for the past 6 months. The carbon bonnet was fcuked so i picked up the original bonnet and seats from gti6steve last week. I flogged the immaculate recaros as i don't find that that comfortable. Its now tip top following belts and dephaser at BTM and i'm looking forward to tracking it in the future.

Today i detailed it using the following products:

i4detailing snow foam
Chemical guys citruswash shampoo
IX and tardis everywhere
AF imperial wheel cleaner and sealed with mint rims
megs indurance tyre gel
AF tripple applied via DA on a orange LC pad
AF revive on all the plastics (not that impressed tbh)
Quick wax using optimum car wax

Pretty chuffed with my purchase i have to say - considering it cost less than £1700!

 

[Harpham]

Looks very very good. Especially for that money too!!

 

[Conlon]

Very tidy!

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great for the money!

 

[Stefan.]

comes up lovely! looks good on the turinis

 

[Bluebeard]

£1700??

Did it come with the wheels/underbonnet dressings??

 

[Clart]

yeah, the only bits i've added are the new plates and the battery/strut covers.

Its got a really decent spec.

 

[Clart]

Oh, and a C2 aerial

 

[Bluebeard]

Mental, that's proper cheap!

 

[Lawro]

That's a bargain! Love the speedlines too.

 

[Clart]

Did all the door shuts and engine bay with AS G101, thats pretty epic stuff!

 

[Addicted]

Bargain, with a Yozza too!

Interested as to why they're the Speedline Turini's rather than the originals though?

Just saw you said it had a carbon bonnet - was the guy who you bought it off bald?

on a 182?

 

[vRS LIL]

That's immense, feels good doesn't it! Felt chuffed as after detailing mine yesterday

 

[Addicted]

on a 182?

For some reason I had it in my head it was a 172 cup

Guess it's the blue, even though I even said it had a Yozza!

 

[Clart]

it does look very similar to mondial blue in some light

 

[Keith185]

That looks amazing, silver wheels makes it look so clean.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Beautiful!!

steve bought the turini's of the net thats why they arent 172 cup turini's , you payed 2k for the car didnt you clart with the trendlines in ?? think the original guy sold it as he didnt want to spend the cash on having the belts done , they are due immently !! they were due when steve had it around a year ago i think , was a very tidy car though , yellowbelly detailed it 2-3 times when steve had it , it has a k tec remap on it as well , was stupidly tidy when steve had it , steve would only put the best bits on it when he had it , michelin tyre's , yozza , he must of spent £1000 on all the carbon bits

 

[Clart]

Yeah was £2k off ebay. Had the belts done by fred last week. I've got a cat for the yozza as its so loud on the motorway and i'm thinking of changing the upper engine mount for a standard as the vibrations are a bit annoying. Would never tell its done 97k - a real credit to Steve.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

If you ever sell the Yozza let me know

Lovely car mate, Looks way more fresh than when I saw it a few days back, Amazing what a good clean can do.

 

[Clart]

Cheers Dan - your bits certainly tidy up the engine bay, the strut covers are really good quality. I might consider a straight swap for the rs192 on the trophy actually....

Cheers for the feedback on the strut covers, They are a nice fit too.

I'd be happy to put a bit towards the yozza too as they fetch more than the RS192.

Always fancied a yozza and it's not my daily so I can put up with the racket!

 

[Clart]

ok mate i'll have a think and let you know.

 

[jack_davey]

F*ck me!
That must be bargain of the century!

 

[leeds_182]

Billy bargain.

I keep checking this thread to make sure you're not winding us up. In fact, I've checked in about ten times since the thread started.

You don't need to put a space before a comma.. comedy paragraph.

Anyway good buy Steve, I mean Clart.

FLOL! mate its taken me a while to finally find one i'm happy with. I've had 4 in the past 8 months!

 

[Bluebeard]

Love it, really nice. Wouldn't know it was that high mileage! What induction kit has it got and what's the shield like parts round it? Does that come with it?

 

[Nadine]

i want my engine bay that clean! what did u use? and what is the best technique?

 

[Nick r26r]

Lol.

sorry sir it wont happen again, flol, anybody would think this was a english lesson with all the people picking at other peoples writing.

 

[Clart]

The induction kit is a k&n 57i gen 2. I have no idea what it sounds like as the yozza is so loud. It has 2 airfeeds including one coming through the bottom of the surround, but i imagine it still gets warm in there. I've got a standard airbox that i'm going to put on so it'll be for sale soon.

Then engine bay was pretty tidy anyway but i used autosmart G101 APC and a valet pro brush whilst the engine was running anywhere i could see dirt, then just wipe off with a microfibre.

 

[Nadine]

thank you ill give it a go

 

[Richyy182]

Nice 182

 

[Adamm.]

Looks good mate, absolute bargain can see why you wanted shot of the RB for it lol.

 

[Gally]

Absolute bargain mate. It's worth that all day long. Great buy!

 

[Toby]

Awesome car and price, fair play to you man.
