LY 182 Glasgow

gav896 · Apr 18, 2015

Picked up my 2005 liquid yellow 182 ff in November last year, full history, 47k miles.
Only mods turinis, eibach springs and ktec cat back.

On route home

quick wash

Wasn't going to change anything on the car as only bought it as a daily but caught the bug and began to change a few things.
Bought a set of 2118's in need of a refurb

some fresh decals

Fresh paint in vauxhall technical grey and a set of R888 195/50/15's for them.

Wanted it to sit a bit lower so grabbed some cooksports

and some carbon dipped bullets from sprayshack

Down to my pals garage to fire the bits on plus rs badge on rear, some plates from fancyplates and a set of 20mm spacers front and 16mm rear.

Bits on

started to hear the dredded drone of a wheel bearing so bought mintex rear disc/pad kit with bearing and rings.

All done.

Attended a rolling road day at HQ garage in Fife, took the clio along to see how it was running.

Made 136.6whp and all running safe with no issues so was happy with that for a standard car.

Couple pics with another few clios from the day.

Popped up to see my good pal Ed at Autohaus Detail for a luxury wash, will be going back in for detail soon.

and back home

Another wee meet with some clio pals on a nice day

Another couple of bits arrived, OMP wheel with cruise buttons wired in and momo boss.

Set of new oem rear shocks, modified scenic shifter and exhaust mount to go on.

Have a couple track days coming up so have a few bits on order should be here early next week.
DS2500 pads
Brembo HC discs
powerflex dogbone
decat
eibach front camber bolts
15mm -0.5 degree camber shims for rear (the 16mm spacers rub slightly under hard cornering)
ramair diy induction kit (as read about on here:wink

Loads still to do until its "finished"
Seats
harnesses
rear seats out
carpet rear
rs tuner
hydro dip plastics
maybe half cage etc etc.

Sorry if i bored anyone, thanks for reading :tongueclosed:

Really nice example mate! Loving the wheels as well! New decals are often overlooked when wheels are refurbed but it really makes a difference!

Gus · Apr 18, 2015

Like that a lot. I really like the silver turinis and silver side bullets, but the 2118's are just as nice. Do you think the rear bearing was due to the rear spacer or just bad luck? PMS do a nice rear stub axel spacer.

Gus · Apr 18, 2015

Oh and forgot to say.... please can you sell me your car...

Already PM'd him mate - I pick it up Sunday.

gav896 · Apr 18, 2015

hahaha cheers guys. Na the bearing started to go before spacers etc were done. Hopefully the new shims will sort the slight rubbing issue.
See you Sunday pal:smiley:

neil a · Apr 18, 2015

Very nice I love LY clios

Did you get a calculated fly power at HQ or does Russ just give wheel power.

Gus · Apr 18, 2015

just noticed this:

I knew I had seen it somewhere before 😂😂:

This is exactly how I wanted my LY to look on the exterior; the bullets, 2118's (minus the decals), spacers and I've been picturing it this last few days, wondering what it would look like. Then your thread pops up!
And I changed the rear shocks, discs, bearings etc only a couple of weeks back! Spooky or just me? Lol

M-H 182 · Apr 18, 2015

Only other thing would be headlight washer blanks

gav896 · Apr 18, 2015

haha good taste mate:wink: spooky indeed ! lol
yeah carbon dipped washer blanks are on the list to match bullets :up:

M-H 182 · Apr 18, 2015

Very smart.
But I'll have those turini's off you if they're surplus to requirements :wink:

haha, turini's were sold a while ago anyway.
What else you got planned for yours ?

Bugger! Lol.
Well I've got the belts to do in this next couple of months, so they're the priority. But the usuals really, ie. recaro's, turini/2118's (in something a bit lighter than anthracite, I like the look of 'Honda Cosmic Grey'), colour coded washer blanks.. We'd be here all day if I listed everything!
I'm starting a thread too soon, so I'll go into more detail then.
Watch this space :wink:

Lovely car mate, where in Glasgow are you?

Is it me or does 136bhp seem kind of low for a whp figure...?

Cub. · Apr 18, 2015

This looks lovely! The 2118's look great.

Excellent work

I think you loose about 15% through the transmission so I make that at a rough estimate of 156bhp at the flywheel.

I do love the colour of this car

Have you had the timing checked?

He's due the belts done so hopefully that should bring the figures up. I'm surprised the dyno operator didn't comment.

gav896 · Apr 18, 2015

Belts aren't due, were done only last year with all proof. Russ's rollers are notorious for giving low readings, he said its running spot on and for anyone that knows Russ knows he knows his stuff. Having the timing checked at GI when its going in for some work anyway for piece of mind.

Danny based in south side, did I not meet you a while back at a meet at braehead ?

The Chubby Pirate · Apr 18, 2015

I think that might have been Danny with the Trophy maybe you met?

Aye definitely get the timing checked, if its out you could be 15/20bhp down!

Ah yeah maybe it was then.
Yeah gonna get it checked anyway but as I say his rollers do read low and the car is no slower than any of my pals stock 182's :up:
Good to have it checked anyway though

Kyle beresford · Apr 18, 2015

Great looking car

neil a · Apr 18, 2015

From what I have seen they do sound to be fairly hard rollers , the black phase 1 with cat cams and bodies only made 159atw.
I will be running my car there next month so be good to see how they compare to the other rollers it's been on.

DrHammershaft · Apr 19, 2015

My 182 made 147 atw at phq, for that run it was induction, rstuner map, milltek exhaust

Ritch_Kid26 · Apr 19, 2015

I Love liquid yellow 182s, the cars looking good mate :up: good ur from Glasgow 2 I hardly see any 182s around lol maybe see ye on the road mate

Yeah wasn't to fussed by the figure as I know they read low was more just to check and make sure it was running as it should.

Yeah that sounds about right. Car is going to GI in Kilmarnock for some bits early next week, they are going to check the timing while its there anyway for piece of mind.

CallyTeee · Apr 21, 2015

Seen it up at KH on Sunday. Looks the part. Deffo seems low on the power run, mine made 175 @ the fly before mapping. Maybe it is the rollers but you seem short of a few bhp's

Cheers, yeah pretty sure its mostly the rollers as it pulls well. Going to GI for few bits and having timing checked today then track night at kh on Thursday so will see how it gets on :up:

Welsh.Dan · Apr 22, 2015

Looks a lovely example!!
Like the changes so far.

Really nice Clio, just a shame about the colour [emoji14]

gav896 · Apr 25, 2015

So had a few bits and bobs done to the car before a track day at Knockhill.
-Front ds2500 pads/brembo hc discs.
-brake fluid changed
-induction kit
-modified rear exhaust mount
-spacers removed for now as offside rear was catching slightly
-omp wheel
-modified scenic shifter
-full check over

Ran out of time to have decat, camber bolts/shims, dogbone bushes and timing check done although going back in in the next few days to have that completed and a few other things.
Car performed better than expected on track, ran it with full interior and had a passenger all day and didnt do bad at all. I had my evo on a few months ago and actually had more fun in the clio lol.
Couple snaps from the day

Chris_Beer · Apr 25, 2015

Wheel stickers remind me of space savers lol?

Also are the bullets missing a dot between the 2 litre bit?

Got love for LY though so good effort for tracking it also
