182, S-Type 3.0L
New to the forums, I am from Bristol, recently picked up a black 182 in bad shape. This is my 5th Clio, but my 1st fast one!
Here is the car:
It has the following mods (that I can tell)
Wheels painted black, stickers, missing badges, lowered (eibach springs), stainless cat back exhaust, cat from a different car (not sure what, it's a renault cat but it's flanged on both ends not like a normal 182 cat), broken speaker wires with sellotape allover them (below, ugh)
The cat is snapped, just welded it back together today, going to be taking the car to infinity exhausts on monday to fit my new 182 cat.
Have purchased the following goodies:
Pioneer stereo, 4 alpine speakers, speaker wire, grommits to cover the holes where the headlight washers go (1 is missing), 182 cat, new exhaust hangers, new aerial, clio sport badges, badges for the wheels, indicator bulb
Still looking for some original springs to bring the car back up to normal ride height.
Next job is to fit the welded cat back to the car so I can drive it to Infinity on Monday and I will be taking the seats out laying my new speaker cables this weekend and getting that all hooked up to the new stereo.
Future mods will include a new clutch cable, possibly a refurbished gearbox as 2nd gear needs a little TLC.
There's something really satisfying about sorting a car, my last project was my Jaguar S-Type which I bought for £800 it's my daily driver at the moment, did a lot of engine and gearbox work on it to get it running right but it's so satisfying now, it's pretty much the polar opposite of the Clio!
