don't think you can run the shift light as alt function 1 is running the vvt (v-tec output can't turn vvt off again at high rpm)

I don't suppose you could tell me where i can find the same trim that's going around the carbon fibre panel below?

And now its mine!


As some of you know I had to sell the Ph1 - wedding funds were running low so needs must. This I was very sad about as it really was something I wanted to finish. Lucky for me, my good friend @Jamie86 came to the rescue and we came to a very happy deal where he got my Ph1 and was able to go racing a lot sooner than he could have and I got his Ph2 rolling shell which is of course @chrispy.clio 's old car :)

This one has the same plan - it will be having a 1.8T 20v VAG engine going in - in fact the engine is sourced already thanks to Dan at SJM.

This will also be used as a working advertisement for my company www.sw-autos.uk so expect to see a lot of parts I sell going on the car - it will also be used as a test bed for various things - Dan and I have a few things up our sleeves.

I also wanted to keep a complete history of the car, so decided to carry on with this thread rather than start a fresh one.

So thanks again to Dan for doing the running around collecting it for me!

Here she is - I'm afraid to say a shell of it's former self (Excuse the pun!)

Nothing to update, the only thing I have had time to do is pull most of the remaining wiring out :(

I have picked up a new OEM look from Dan @ SJM which I will be cutting down and fitting.

There is a reason for the OEM look going in as we have decided on a slight change of plan for the car.

I have been weighing up my options on what to do - The 20v conversion will still being going ahead, but due to personal circumstances I am not going to be able to put the amount of money into the car right away. Bear in mind the 20v engine is being rehoned and rebuilt, plus I have no parts needed (such as ECU, intercooler, turbo, driveshafts etc etc).

So I have been thinking on what to do over the past few months and after many many chats with Dan, we have come up with a new plan.

As said, the 20v conversion will still go ahead, but only once I have managed to save up to do it in one go.

Conveniently, I do have this spare (LOL at a 'spare' 172. Though I do currently own 4 Clio's, but I digress)

So the plan is to pull the running gear out of this one (Only has about 85k on it, seems to be well looked after, has had a clutch and lots of work recently and a huge folder full of receipts) and throw it in the 182 for the time being - this way I can get the 182 back out and useable again, as it was last on the road in 2012 and last turned a wheel in 2013 (on track) so it's about time it gets used again!

This way we have the rest of the 172 in case we need any parts along the way which we don't have, then I can strip what is remaining and sell on.

The 182 is still fully bare, so has no ABS, TC, ESP, CC etc.

So plan will be to throw the engine, box etc into the 182 - I have a ph2 wiring loom out of Dans Tcup which will be in and I will also use the ECU, keys and clocks out the Ph2 - In theory this should cause no issues with the immobiliser etc as the engine should think it's still in the same car.

This will be done as quickly as possible - Dan has kindly offered to help (As he always does!) so it will be once I have sold 2 Clio's and my Mk5 Golf TDi I have.

Suppose this is due an update 😂

Well I have a little to share. It still hasn't moved, still buried in the garage, but things are now on the move!

We are moving house, so I needed to speed things up and get it at least able to move.

So I now have my suspension sorted (See pic) and all being well, we are doing the swap in early July, and it will be on the road - The first time in approx. 4 and a half years :)

Next update!

Soooo, the date I said it was due to happen...well things got in the way and it didn't lol.

Since then I have moved house, so have had a lot on! The house needs full renovation, but im still not letting the Clio falter.


I have new seats, and the donor 172 will be stripped of its guts over the coming weeks.

Plan of action is pull the 172 apart, get all the bits ready for the swap (so Engine will be cleaned, sprayed up with new belts and water pump etc) sort the wiring looms out and then it all goes into the 182 :)

I will be doing some work to the 182 in preparation such as heat shielding, and cleaning up the engine bay but all being well the 182 should be rolling on its wheels by January at the latest - this is very exciting - I will be dropping in updates, but most of them will be in PFC Staff cars
