Suspension next anyway!

#63: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:00 am ---- Finally got some new pics of the small updates. NathJ painted a few bits and bobs. He also did the gear knob insert but i decided i wasnt keen on that and have swapped it back for a standard one.
Decided to debadge the complete rear end, and replace the Clio badge with the pin holes, with the Renaultsport badge from the 197. I feel as if the old style 'Clio' badge gives the car a slightly more dated look. The steering wheel decal is on, ballsed up the airbag one though. Will get it sorted soon.
New Rear End.
Before
After
New Engine Bay Cover
Im aiming to sort the metals out next. Think they will either be polished, or sprayed a very light high power silver. This will be the next update on the way, most likely next week.

#65: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:05 am ---- Not really, it costs far too much to squeeze extra bhp out of the Clio engine. If i did, id be looking at ITBs, which i cant afford! Lol
Suspension will get sorted though.
We will have to organise a small 'Midland Old Boys' meet soon, Me, You, Jamie, Ross and those who have moved on from the 206 world. Cough not Jamie. Lol! Country lanes your way would be great!

I'd be up for that, I've nearly got the LCR set up for B Roads now
Talking of B roads, I'm off to the 'Ring later, woop!

#68: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:14 pm ---- Have decided to sell the Recaro's. They will be going on Saturday for the same price i paid. Theyre a bit annoying with the winding mechanism rather than the flip up/down mechanism in a normal hatch. Im also just not 100% on them, so i want to get rid and will spend a bit of the £500 on tarting the car up a bit more.
More updates coming in about a month.
#69: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:20 pm ---- Get some 197 seats in there? Or some trophy seats?
You best be spending all that £500 on the car, I just spent more than that on brakes
#70: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:22 pm ---- A bit will be going on my holiday, the rest on the car + other bits and bobs. Gambled my way out of my overdraft last weekend. Won £150 profit between Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Lost £10 of that on Arsenal today though.
Have bought a new gadget for the car aswell. Ill put a pic up in a sec.
#71: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Ross, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:23 pm ---- Suspension next then with your 500 quid?
#72: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Dave, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:25 pm ----
Cost £28 with the memory card and all posted. Good quality, going to have a play over the weekend. Bit cheaper than those cr*p GoPro ones. Joking. Would love that, but my wallet loves this!
#73: Re: Daves Renaultsport Clio 182 - Racing Blue Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:26 pm ---- He needs triple that for some AST coilovers
