Ghm's LY 182
- Thread starter Ghm
- Start date
:smile: :tongueout: really can't see me selling this, the smiles per mile is just insane. Took to Knockhill (didn't go on track) yesterday and on the b roads there, it just comes alive - seriously didn't want to stop driving.
Had some colourful clio friends turn up when I returned to the car though:

Thanks, yeh spacers fitted but I really couldn't say for sure size and camber, Dan could shed some light on that one though. Latest mod - Recaro seats! Will hopefully get them fitted over the Bank Holiday.
Yeah. 20mm running around 1.5 camber IRRC
Thats one thing I forgot to mention to you George, don't fit 205 tyres to front as they'll scrub.
I had 205s and switched to 195 to avoid scrubbing on lock. Worked a treat.
Recaros. Excite!
Love this thread. So nice to see you/the car getting out and about to shows etc [emoji41]
Amazing Dan, interesting info that. Getting asked it a lot.
Really need Recaros, cause i'm on the taller side and I guess... They look pretty good as well (just trying to justify them :0 )

20 front and 15mm stub axle on rear.
Im still in shock myself MJ! Lol.
Shock horror, it turns out a van isn't as fun to own as a 182 [emoji23]
Recaros ftw! Seats and a smaller steering wheel were something I always wanted to do
Not all my updates are going to be positive i'm afraid. For the first time in my 10 years driving I have kerbed a wheel (not the end of the world I know) but what makes it even more frustrating was I just got them powder coated a matter of weeks ago. As these things are it was so avoidable, really could have punched myself in the face if no one was about - seriously raging. :rage::rage:Will just need to get this one done again in the hope they don't need to do anymore (possibly come out a different a shade to the rest?) Not had time to fit the recaros this weekend either, so it's not been the best Bank Holiday in all honesty. 
Oh no. My heart sank when I read the first line.... Thought oh no the cars broken down!
Thankfully it's just a kerbed alloy, but that's a good job you done on it! Must be gutted.
Looking forward to the Recaros. You fitting trendline or a track style set?

Wow done a good job on that wheel lol
Easily fixable though and usuable still

Lol sorry Dan, I thought you mind have gotten worried after the first sentence - my bad. :smile::smiley: Car is superb in every way except the driver, took for a little run today as the weather is nice - didn't miss a beat as usual around the local B roads.
Very true sj, it's really not as bad as the picture is portraying but bad enough - that's a very close shot. It's almost not that noticeable if you know what I mean but booked in for this week for that wheel. :up:

Sweet, yes it was some day at Knockhill. The clios were certainly out in force! Wee typo from my last comment above, 'might' not 'mind'
They are Recaro Trendlines, Dan. :up:

@Ghm I don't suppose you have dans old air filter set up by any chance do you? Would be happy to buy it from yourself if so :up:
Loved this car, was the only 182 that gave my cammed iceberg a run for it's money back in the day...also had the oppertunity to buy it but couldn't come up with the funds intime. If you ever want to sell the car

Thanks Cookson, really appreciate it but yes looking at the image from Knockhill again and that flamer, you're on to something there mate.
Hehe, it's so responsive this 182 - miles ahead of my last AB so that doesn't sound surprising. I still have the Fatty style induction set up, yes. I will fire over some images of it via PM.
Got the wheel I messed up powder coated again and whilst there asked them to fit the Recaros (really struggling for time as of recently.) The drivers seat has one or two little marks but, doesnt bother me too much as it's a vast improvement over standard.
Washed the Recaro's last weekend, but more importantly added some Recaro decals in yellow - properly not to everyones taste but I may change to white decals to keep it more original.
It's a [emoji106] from me. Good choice
Sorry for the lack of updates, been very busy and not done much to the Clio recently apart from attend the Scottish car show. :smile: Here is a few snaps borrowed from Facebook:
