Yep later 182 beams have supports under the spring platforms and also have a thicker bar in the middle. Just taken my 172 cup beam out and replaced with a 182 beam.

Mine wasn't fitted back on straight away And went near white but the rubber is absolutely fine.

I have these, one thing I would say is the discolour in sunlight but other than that nicely made and much cheaper alternative to pf etc

I'm doing exactly the same jobs at the moment and although mine is Alot better than yours I'm still not happy with what a 55k car shows up and not driving when roads gritted at all etc

Agreed I like that Alot 😎

How much do you want for the hoses?

Today I changed out the steering wheel as although the OMP wheel felt nice after seeing how my brothers looks after light use and the fact i couldn't see the speedo at all I decided a more subtle wheel was required. Picked up a megane r26 steering wheel which feels good and can use the airbag...

Braid wheels are smart 😎 would love done for my m3

First one I have carbon fibre sport light surrounds, crazy lightweight. Second pic was some ducts I made from 100mm bass ports and standard surrounds.

While I was at it I managed to get a 172 cup bulkhead plate as I threw mine out years ago to save weight but the sticky heatshied. I made was horrible so when one came up on ebay cheap I snapped it up as these again are getting more expensive and harder to find, I used zinc coated bolts to...

Well this is due a update I'd say. I took the car too Bedford on the 27th of Feb and was hoping for a better result than being recovered home by the AA. Well. It went a bit better, came off at high speed and now my exhaust is hanging off again. Car was driving horribly, under steer and just...

Wtf hahah you love changing things at the last moment. Hopefully it's turbod

I'm sure it will look Awesome once it's done 😎

Who does that to an engine, painting the pullies orange and oil filter etc Nasty job

I am the same with my cup, its worth quite a bit and I don't use it much as I have a work van and a Mercedes family car and a e36 m3 project but I still never actually bring myself to sell it and as my bro has a clio again it's quite nice do trackdays and road trips together in clios. Would...

That's pretty good power and reliability from a Chinese turbo 😎. Shame the cup went but I'm guessing you like the 182 more? Definitely thinking of getting a ED turbo for my 172 cup

Is this using the Ed Chinese turbo or the garret?

So I'm guessing the mk3 megane didn't happen then? Would be a shame to Sell this beaut to be fair.

I think the TD 1.2 's in silver looked the tits tbf 😎. Wish mine were silver

It's more down to time unfortunately. I'm working all over the country all week and head off for the hotel Friday night 😔

Hi Finally got it all back together, I stupidly booked another trackday at Bedford this Sat 28th feb. First thing was to replace the broken 182 manifold etc I decided instead of dropping the subframe it would be easier to cut it out! Wrong that's was a ballache. But swapped over to my 172...

I wouldn't use a clio as a daily at all! Il take my e320 cdi sport, far far nicer place to be and the clio wouldn't know what way it went.

I wanted the breather plate a different colour to help identify any leaks later on. I decided to block off the tiny breather condense hole as it's pretty pointless as it's near identical location to the main breather hose port, I made a blank using 1.5mm gasket paper. Bonded it down with...

A little progress. I noticed the pain on my cam cover was flaking and the was a oil leak from the breather plate. It was a long job picking and scraping all the old paint off the cam cover. Degreased and then preped for paint. Three coats of Etch primer Hammerite smooth blue used as...

That's a silver overload 😂

So the strip down to see what is wrong begins. First off to take the manifold off and check the leads, plugs and compression just to make sure nothing really bad has happened. Plugs are pretty dirty for 100 miles and 1 trackday! So compression test Cly 1 =180psi two min letby test and...

This is very true 👍. Rather a decent base

Thanks, I felt bad about doing it to such a low milage cup but sod it 😊

Now for the drive up to Bedford, with my brother in his ph1. Filling up And we drove the 80 miles to Bedford without to much of a issue, I was getting understeer on acceleration even on the road but put this down to how much weight was in the back of my car as I went overboard in bringing...

Back on the road and hopefully ready for its first track day All loaded up and washed ready to roll.
