‘Claud’ The RB 182

[Advikaz]

Finally after months of searching I collected this 182 today.

Up early at 5am to beat the traffic and get across to Wales from Kent.

Here’s some naff pics. It’s pretty much mint but there’s a few little bits I want to tidy up and work I want to do. It’s survived the drive back anyway !

The car itself is as tight as a drum, the only annoyance so far is the PMS shifter which is noisy and properly bloody annoying ! Surely there’s a remedy for this?

Some s**t pics ….

Looks a Nice example mate, id sell the PMs shifter to me and put a standard one in 🤣

But in seriousness there are some things that can be done with lead shot and the like, worth a search on here.

Got a couple of little bits to sort but honestly it’s in great Nick (I’ve got crushing ocd)

I’ll take a look, cheers!

We do have our first casualty though!

 

[Advikaz]

Best place to get a 182 drivers side interior door handle from ?

 

[SharpyClio]

There a trophy being broken on here, might still have the door handles.

 

[Crayola]

I'd leave the PMS shifter in and learn to live with it, they're so much better than a standard one

Looks like a nice car

On it, cheers

Going to have it apart tomorrow and see if I can quieten it down. It’s properly buzzy

 

[SharpyClio]

I’m waiting for them to come back into stock then I’ll be getting one, from what I’ve heard if you can accept the noise they’re really good bits of kit.

It’s been a well discussed topic. Frayz had a few solutions, see thread here https://cliosport.net/threads/pms-shifter-mods-to-ease-the-rattle.838868/#post-12116815

Looks a nice car. Congratulations. Welcome to the RB club 😊

Might get one of these to drown out my exhaust noise 🤣

I’ve got a non res decatted milltek which is pretty boomy tbh.

Drove 3 hrs back from wales and was nearly deaf when I got in 😂

Eventually you get used to it… you can’t hear anything all, ever, but exhaust noise has gone 🤪

Going to attempt to get some weight on the stick end of the linkage and see if that quietens it down

 

[Advikaz]

Out today working through my ocd 😂

Started with the interior which has been steamed and cleaned within an inch of its life. It was decent anyway but looks great now.

Got a door handle to replace and a few ‘sticky’ trims I need to deal with (any ideas ??) as well as the front seat belts which need a scrub.

On to the exterior next before it goes under cover.

Have a few plans with this car which I’m still finalising

 

[Louis]

You don't need to put any weights in the shifter, you'll ruin it.

Put a new bearing in, rubber o-ring at the bottom of the carbon lifter against the collar, rubber seal between shifter and car, rubber boot on linkage filled with red grease

Useful. Cheers

 

[Anakin]

My PMS shifter hardly makes, I used dynamat on it inside of the tower and I keep the bearing greased.

 

[Advikaz]

That’s better

Proper colour that!!

 

[Stay Puft]

That looks fantastic. Dont recall seeing it up for sale.. was it fair price or extortion like most RB’s?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Superb that is!

Very nice😍

 

[Cads]

Still such a nice colour. And that looks mint mate. 👌

It was advertised on market place and unlike most cars on market place it didn’t turn out to be s**t.

It wasn’t a bad price, I’ve got crushing ocd so there’s a few bits I want to get sorted. It’s very clean underneath and drives spot on. 100k miles and good history.

Very happy. My neighbours aren’t though as I’ve got a bit of a fleet of vehicles in the making 🤦🏽‍♂️💩

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

f**k the neeburs, your problems are not their problems my guy. 🫡

 

[Hixle]

That looks mega!❤️

 

[Mr Underhill]

Dashes off to check price on Marketplace.

Price listed and price sold are two different things 😘

 

[Daniel]

Absolutely love that.

 

[SharpyClio]

I was wondering the same, some sound deadening should help, good call.

 

[SharpyClio]

That’s better

Looks amazing. RB is such a good colour

 

[Stefan.]

That's come up bloody lovely 😍

 

[imprezaworks]

Really tidy that, rb is a fab colour I loved mine.

Ref the shifter as above try and get used to it 👍

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Sell me this once you’re done with it, there i said it.😂

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

RB is definitely the best factory colour on the 182. Looks lovely.

 

[Advikaz]

Sell me this once you’re done with it, there i said it.😂

This is what usually happens with my cars and bikes. I spend as much as it costs making it perfect and then sell it 😂😭

It’s got so bad with bikes now that my mate Tim tells me he’ll have it off me in a year about an hour after I’ve purchased it 🤦🏽‍♂️

 

[Mr Underhill]

The 16" Turinis make a huge difference on the RB, especially in factory Anthracite or Silver.

It's subjective of course, but the only wheels I think look better are the original TD Pro Race 1.2s or Evo Corse X3MA 15" but you've got to lower the car to fully appreciate them. And then ruin how they drive on our pot hole ridden roads.

 

[Ocsltd]

Damn that looks lovely!! You can't beat a nice, clean RB!!

 

[JamesBryan]

You bought it then mate.

Still looks tidy from when i last saw it.
