Update. So after having a standard 182 and a race prepared 182, then selling them on, i was torn on what to do with the RB.
Should I sell it and then use the money from all 3 cars to get another fast road car with track capability. I‘ve had the R’s and N’s but got bored and sold them on. But the Clio’s are the cars I’ve hung on to the longest.
So that’s it. Keep the RB, make it sparkle, keep it looking OEM but add a few upgrades to feed my need for speed on a circuit. Then if I get bored, remove the upgrades, put it back to standard and sell it all on.
The PMS exhaust arrived last week, although still waiting on a gasket from K-Tec.
Then today I got in touch with a good friend of
@frayz who‘s sorted me out with a nice set of seats, mounts and runners. Jon Foz is supplying me with his X-Low frames.
I went for simulated leather / Dinamica black finish as in the picture above.
Then I made a call to Simon at Cook Sport and talked through my options. In the end I’ve settled for some AST 5100s. They‘re currently getting built so should be ready in a few weeks.
Brake pads will be upgraded for circuit days with the trusted combo of DS1.11 in the front and DS2500 at the rear. Ordered today from the lads at
@FrogJam Motorsport along with a stud nut kit. Great lads with top notch service. Check out their new website at

Still deciding on wheels and tyres, but I’ll probably stick with Yokohama 52s. I might keep the original steering wheel but I’ll get a track day booked, then go from there.
I‘m quite excited now and looking forward to putting it all on the car.
Thanks for reading.
