Smiggy's 182 Build.

[ACS_Motorsport]

Hey up chaps,

Recently bought my first 182 t'other day and I love it great little car! Real fun to drive! Although strangely finding I'm wanting more from her already!

Only decent pic I've got atm!

Its got a ktec ultrasports exhaust on inc their sport cat, sounds pretty decent. Looking at next matching the intake ports and possibly, induction kit and remap to get her breathing properly next.


cheers guys

Anthony

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

welcome and wouldn't bother with I/k, get a decent panel filter and pop the RS tuner 98ron map on or if your anywhere near Leeds go see Paul@RStuning

Nice looking motor I have seen it about

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Are you out the airport side of Doncaster? Possibly North Lincolnshire, pretty sure I've seen this.

Hi there mate! I'm really close to Leeds! Only in Huddersfield. Even with a decent map are the I/k's really not worth it?

cheers for the help!!

Hi Feirny, I actually am but I bought this from Newcastle on Monday tho when did you see it?

 

[Coops Mk1]

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

I think the only one people actually rate is the cold air fed ITG maxogen, which is a box with a filter in it and some pipes going to it...........kinda similar to the standard don't you think

so cash is usually better spent elsewhere!

Can't have been you then, although good guess. Saw one on Sunday morning.

Did you use to have a C2 VTS and a FAbia vRS?

massive thanks for the heads up and the advice!

No I didn't mate! But small world tho I live like 2 mins away from Robin Hood Airport! What are the chances of you seeing a similar clio in the exact area that I live in the day before I buy one haha! Are these that common?

 

[Feirny]

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Well there's one who's on here and it wasn't him, so there's three of you out that way.

I live at the bottom of the runway so look out for a Red Megane.

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

I'm on C2 club greg.. but didn't own a fab

 

[Coops Mk1]

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

I think the plans you have will be fine for modest improvement matey, matched inlets and a remap should see it drive nicely

You've not been on in a while have you? Place is dire now.

I logged on the other day for the first time in god knows how long, didn't recognise anyone at all. Shame as that forum used to be spot on

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Matched Inlets thanks to Martin v800mjh
Before

After

Swapped out a suspect injector dafuq man?? Just for peace of mind there cheap enough £35

Give it a good clean, polish and a spanner check.

Stripped...waiting on my KTR fitted carpet.

And can anyone help me hunt down the previous owners of this car too btw???
it came with a CS tax disc holder so chances are the previous owner was on here? Noticed something a little strange on the head when I removed the inlets. A not so pretty attempt and porting?? No offence but looks like a blind man did it with his teeth?!!!!

its probably lost ponies because of this? What does everyone else think?

Definitely a CNC attempt it's just not smooth! Or as smooth as you'd expect

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Oh and my temp oil breather and return block...

an old crank breather I pulled of my bandit haha

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

I'm pretty sure they come like that mate, I've read somewhere someone was saying exact same.

Hmmm how odd!!! Just assumed it would be some horrible casting jobby in that case ignore me lol! If its factory it's pretty decent just thought it was mental for someone to go to the effort of milling it out and the result been that bad haha

:S

 

[Corby G]

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Yeahh it does look that way, but i'm 99.9 % sure that's straight out the factory. I'm also a yorkshire lad btw too, from scarborough. Recently moved down to lincolnshire.

Nice one cheers for the confirmation chaps!! Was a little worried the engine had been fecked with!! I'm DN9 in Donny so I'm technically north Lincolnshire

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Yeah, that's factory levels of finish.

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Lovely motor. Such an improvement to that bay now

Get yourself a red induction kit and it'll set it off perfectly!!!

Didn't know you had a 'bandit', my dad had the same model 1200 and now has the newer model.

 

[Martin.]

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Induction kit here if you want an orange one lol..

Was thinking red mate but they kinda look a little pinkish for my liking was tempted to just go for a black one? You have some good pics of yours in red?

and yeah man bandito for the win!!! Massive biker me mate! All round petrol head!

if you fancy a read I'm also in the process of something rather special to her

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Quite fancy a rear strut brace...something to hang my socks off?

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Go the whole hog and get a cage. Hang all your washing on it

You're desperate for a rear strutt brace lol. No matter how many times I tell you!

For the sake of like £80 just get one and it'll keep your OCD happy!!

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt

Haha well the cage is tempting!! Don't think I'm gonna be quite going that extreme......yet famous last words!! Haha just think they look great lol! And the way I see it they must contribute to some stiffness surely? There tying the top of the shocks together? And because there or rubber mounts if they try and pull, the brace will help? I don't know be nice to actually do some proper calcs on it? A structural equivalency test lol? Be great to see the results in black and white

Whiteline ARB is better way to spend your money

already bought a ARB got the Track Develomets one! Much better quality than the white IMO they don't rust as easy know a few people with a whiteline and they rust like mad regardless of maintenance. Plus the extra adjustability and the rose joints sold it for me
