Stealthy 182 Progress Thread...

[rob_sri]

tomorrow mate got the day off so i think il give it a clean and head down the park with the camera

 

[Adam_vxR]

looking nice mate- my old car used to be black, and was soo hard to keep clean but once it was clean it looked soo nice,

It's all about having a cleaning obsession ! haha! LED fogs are an ebay special only about a tenner but quite good quality!

Definately have one of them!! Cars looking bloody sexy! What polish/wax have you used I also have a black (not BG ) Clio and want to get some similar results!! Also do you have the code for the fog lights or just search them on ebay? Cheers!!

 

[rob_sri]

ebay search i think they're H11 but im not 100%.. i did write out my clean freak method for someone a while back.. il try find it for you!

 

[GeorgeH]

Just seen this, absolutely mint! I like the headlights, never seen that done tbh. Glad to see sumething slightly different. Corsa looked great, although ive never been a fan, yours looked nice.

cheers mate

yeah i've never seen it done either but i think its paid off.. i like it anyway im sure its not to everyones taste!

heres another thing i've never seen though may be a bit controversial on here .. gloss black turinis

cheeky z20let corsa shot

after i'd sold the old wheels on the forum.. couldn't keep them due to lack of space unfortunately .. decided to put the money to good use and get myself an RS Tuner.. performance map and launch control..

will be purchasing the pop and bang soon just for kicks so i can swap between the maps as i please give it a try..

RS tuner maps are fantastic mine feels noticeably faster and pulls harder for longer.. just much more drivable.. flattens out the 5k kick and gives you more through the range.. launch control is pretty nifty too.. will take some videos soon

looks amazing but let down by the plates :dapprove: would make huge difference with some plain ones and smaller front of course

 

[Mark_]

Mate that looks f**king gorgeous!!! Nicest BG on here!! (Maybe even Sport...)

i like the plates, pressed aluminium may get a small pressed front maybe!

thanks mate appreciate it

Very clean example you got their mate I reckon you should try a skoda front lip only a £10 I think that and a 3/4 plate would make the front end look alot better. I'm likeing the yellow touches have you thought about yellow speedline stickers for your turinis?

 

[Mark_]

Do the wind deflectors 'work'?

 

[Wick]

I have to say I have GB plates as well and don't mind them lol!! Car looks great mate, love the selective colour shot with the corsa above!

 

[James28]

Car looks really good.
Needs copious amounts of tyre shine though with black wheels!
Where'd you get the RS tuner? Second hand or new.

 

[GeorgeH]

Bought some zymol cleaner wax on your recomendation, god that stuff smells good! Very quick and easy to use, car comes up a treat! Thanks man!

 

[Jekyll]

That looks ab fab my man! keep up the good work.

oooh... tempting.. might photoshop it and see how it looks first! dont want to go too over the top..

3/4 plate is a good shout though may well have to invest!

Do the wind deflectors 'work'?

kinda.. they're quite good! i like the way they look too..

Bought some zymol cleaner wax on your recomendation, god that stuff smells good! Very quick and easy to use, car comes up a treat! Thanks man!

yesss good man, very good for quick results, then coat it in poorboys black hole and some dodo juice blue velvet

That looks ab fab my man! keep up the good work.

cheers buddy think a decent coilover set up rear arb with some spacing set up and start polybushing things go kart effect ftw!

 

[Mark_]

kinda.. they're quite good! i like the way they look too..

Maybe Ill have to invest in a set depending on how much they are...where did you get them from?(if you dont mind me asking )...And are they easy to install?

 

[rob_sri]

they were about £30 from ebay, just type in clio Heko wind deflectors and they should come up

installing them takes about 20 seconds a piece

iPhone 4S photo...not bad quality! just a cheeky reflection shot after a good clean today

 

[Stefan.]

rob sri could you do me a favour? and take a picture of the bk of your car from bit further away dead on so i can get an idea what it looks like with no rear wiper, thinking of doing this to my b/g thanks if you can bud

 

[rob_sri]

hey mate only jus read this... sure thing dude im going to give it a clean tomorrow if it isnt raining so il get a picture then for you!

this may give you an idea too you can see the back quite well...

video below

pulled 185 bhp 213 lb/ft max rpm 7782 on the rollers dead pleased with it.. the tuners there said it was one of the most powerful 182s with relatively little mods they've seen


question time...

ITBs or Cams? at the moment I've saved about £1k for engine work

 

[rob_sri]

If anyone knows of anybody getting rid of their ITBs or looking to put their engine back to standard drop me a PM!!

 

[rob_sri]

Anyone selling bolt in Half cage?

Failing that I haven't been able to find any decent itb kits for my budget so I'm going for some coilovers.. Some FKs more than likely

Whats the best price you've found for itb's

 

[rob_sri]

so bought some new coilovers

rears fitted...

excuse the iphone pics, proper slr pics tomorrow after ive set it up properly and sorted all the camber etc and sorted everything out..

whiteline ARB ordered too cant wait! should be amazing handling! going to put a load of fresh bushes on too..

 

[twingors]

Good progress m8!! Looking good

 

[rob_sri]

little wash beforehand

quick slap of wax

first of all some generic reflection shots lol..

so after that was time to start on these ...

yeah thats probably enough pictures of those.. got snap happy!

time for action lmao que action movie pose.. :slap:

out with the old apex..

luke arrived to lend a hand/ask me to fit his new foglights ..

then out with the fronts..

assembling the new struts..look at the concentration lol!! still set them way too low and far too much camber!! =/

and finally back on the ground!!

I will get some more pictures tomorrow as im still messing with the set up.. at the moment its a teeny bit too low and camber still needs sorting.. probably going to take it to be corner weighted and properly set up!.. il sort it one way or another tomorrow and then on to making a 6n Polo's body touch the floor with some old fashioned VeeDub Style lowering techniques! should be fun followed by swapping a new turbo on a corsa c z20let.. thats a 2.0 turbo.. in a tin can

Rear ARB should be with me next week so il get that on asap too cant wait! should handle really well!

still.. day didnt end there as i still had to help luke with his fogs!..

 

[rob_sri]

Good progress m8!! Looking good
