Re: oooo me new 182!

I must be getting old as I can't help but feel stripping like that has ruined a perfectly good car.

Re: oooo me new 182!

^^fair point. Who cares what anyone else thinks anyway you obviously love it as you bought it. Any engine mod plans?

I think that's my issue. Is taking door cards and carpet out going to make that much difference! Each to their own though dude, will look better when lowered but I think you may need to go down the coilovers route to carry off those rims.

In an accident, all thats stopping you going through the windscreen are two 10mm nuts.

Move those harnesses ffs! The most dangerous/stupid placement i've ever seen.

 

[Stodgio]

every little helps with weight reduction doesn't it?

i dont want it decked will ruin handling.

 

[172Ben]

LOL.

If you crash they are going to do f**k all! Move them asap to a proper mounting point, and make sure they are crossed as well!!

 

[Clio RS 172]

where is interior?

ok will do. no need to be angry at me i didnt do it.

 

[Daniel]

I'm not angry with you, you just bought it.

 

[Stodgio]

i joined this site to learn and improve the car thats all. never had seats and harnesses before.

 

[DannyR]

I'm sure black cars were black inside too?!

 

[172Ben]

We are here to help, id change them before you next drive though.

Also they should really be mounted higher, i think they say level with your shoulders. So they pull straight and not at an angle

They can be more dangerous than anything if not mounted and fitted properly

 

[Stodgio]

ill get some eyebolts sorted thnx

 

[The Boosh!]

Welcome to the club mate

Car looks nice apart from the safety issue!

 

[Andy.182]

Sell me your wheels please ... Taa muchly

 

[Stodgio]

sorted the harnesses out with new eye bolts and 2" snap hooks.

cars just in at the garage now getting the sportline springs fitted.

bought her a new front splitter aswell and stereo and speakers and re-fitted standard carpets.

also getting a false floor made for the boot.

much tidier already

It's called saving money........
Every manufactuer does it now days..

Yep, even the new F30 3 Series has an unpainted upper inside boot. It's completely visible when you lean into it.

 

[DannyR]

I'm talking about Clio's that I've seen before which are black inside...

 

[Brett]

It looks really good but I don't see the point in stripping a 182, they're still worth money especially a low miler like yours.

If your going to get an RS Clio an butcher it surely a ph1 172 is a better option. All IMO of course.

agree !

 

[HartZ]

remeber to get some pictures up of these new additions. Welcome to CS!

 

[Rob]

Glad you've sorted the harnesses out, I'm still yet to own a stripped car, maybe as a second car some day...

You ordered a Skoda splitter I hope? Renault one is a fortune!

If you join up as a full member, there's a fully fledged guide on how to create a whole false floor for the back of the car, looks cracking..

 

[MarcB]

Whats the guys name you bought the car from ?

 

[Stig182]

has the previous owner been thrashing it all the time on the track hense the stripping and harnesses and seats, this si the only reason i can think of is to get slightly better lap times. I'd give the engine a good service and check all the mounts dont take the guys word for it as its obviously spent a lot of time on the track. as soon as i saw the strippage i'd have walked away.
