Track **** in the making!

[mullen]

Well gave it a clean today and also removed the acoustic valve, sounds a lot louder now with running a ph1 box with no feeds!

Also got a new boot net! next up will be coilovers and front and rear strut braces! anyway some pics!

 

[Impey]

Looks good mate, whats it on at the moment

 

[mullen]

Cheers, just sat of 40mm jamex springs I think...

 

[ForceIndia]

Needs a cage if you're running harnesses.

 

[Gray]

How many track days have you done in it?

 

[mullen]

Think I will get one in it eventually

 

[mullen]

How many track days have you done in it?

None yet, getting coilovers etc first before I start want to get it all ready first.

 

[Gray]

LOL I was waiting for that answer.... "Track ****" that has never seen a track.

Why not drive the car on track before you go splashing out on coilovers etc.?

 

[ForceIndia]

I predict 2 months before the normal occurs.

 

[mullen]

Thats while I put track **** in the making as it will be eventually when I have got everything done to it

 

[Matt W]

As said above.

Take it on track and see if you like it before spending loads on it!

 

[Gray]

I predict 2 months before the normal occurs.

Standard.


Did you buy this 182 off a lad called Tom, from South Normanton?

 

[DaDangerMan]

yer mate i agree you should try it on track first it may not be your cup of tea

 

[mullen]

Standard.


Did you buy this 182 off a lad called Tom, from South Normanton?

No had this for over 3 years. was originally from scotland, was standard when I got it apart from the springs

 

[mullen]

As said above.

Well a few of my mates are going oulton park so might get one of the taster sessions

 

[Gray]

ahh my friend tom had the same colour, seats, harnesses, year 182'

 

[mullen]

They may of been his seats as I got them and the harnesses off here

 

[Dave..]

I predict it's sold within 6 months.

 

[rob_clio197rs]

looks good, nice and tidy. why is everyone so quick to shoot people down on here

 

[Gaz_]

Appearing soon................. in the for sale section

 

[Jordi17]

Looks mint.

 

[mullen]

whats with all this for sale stuff, None of it will be for sale tbh! had the seats in for about 3 months+ and not bored of them at all and plus don't use the clio on a daily basis got a 306 derv for that...

 

[ForceIndia]

Just don't go mad. If you go too far (strippage, suspension etc etc) you end up with a car that's just useless as a road car, and only marginally more fun on track.

 

[mullen]

Don't worry I won't go mad, thats about as much as its getting stripped tbh

 

[Meek_racing]

Agree about the cage needed for harnesses, reality being that you will never roll the car, but still better to have one just in case you do.

Each to their own in regards to going mad as mentioned above, I did the same as you and went for super hard AST's, half cage, full buckets etc... 99% of people will hate driving my car on the road but I love it (strange I know). I would try a track day like Bedford to see how you feel with the car then decide on dedicating it further or not.

Looks tidy btw

 

[adamlewis01]

I dont get all the "for sale" malarky either tbh. Looking good mate, should have come to the mini meet today and seen my new truck.

 

[mullen]

Cheers guys and Adam I didn't realise there was a mini meet oops....

 

[mullen]

Well actually booking my taster session track day at oulton park on 12th November

 

[The Boosh!]

I went down this route...

Then put the interior back to standard. Looks nice though

 

[jenic]

I also went down this route...

And still love it, but if i had to do long journeys regularly it would piss me off lol. Looks smart though, i like the seats

 

[mullen]

cheers! long journeys I've got a pug 306 diesel to use

 

[OFFROADNICK]

leave the man alone enough of the for sale stuff please . car looks well tidy to me keep up the good work

Cheers :rasp:

 

[chrispy.clio]

Looking good, its a good start.

Get out on track as soon as you can and then buy coilovers if you want them.

I did my first trackday on some amazing Apex Lowering springs and still had loads of fun. Then bought H&R coilovers and on the next trackday it was even better as i felt the car drove nicer and better

 

[Wests Renault]

Get a cage in the car and don't do any more to the interior otherwise you'll regret it on a day to day basis, trust me i've been there and done it!!

 

[p7ulk1]

looks good mate ...iv removed all my seats due to the bulkhead drain swomping them in water ....i think ill be puttin recaros in and leavin the rest in the shed

 

[Dean Mac]

just out of interest, how much does a a stripped out 182/172 weigh like the one above?

 

[Addicted]

that net wont' hold a wheel down if you have an accident, and will certainly do alot of damage to you!

so i think on that note you should sell/give it to me as my 182 never came with one ($£("*$"£).

 

[MarkCup]

just out of interest, how much does a a stripped out 182/172 weigh like the one above?

He'll have lost 50-60 kgs or so looking at the pics, so somewhere around 1,030-1,040 kgs now.

 

[lbrench]

looks nice mate, big fan of the stripped out track ***** look
