‘Claud’ The RB 182

[Advikaz]

You bought it then mate.

Still looks tidy from when i last saw it.

Certainly did 👌

 

[Advikaz]

So, plans at the moment, although undecided exactly are

- full front end respray and re ceramic coated.
- got a few tiny dings getting removed in the next few weeks.
- sort the headlights out.
- clean or replace interior trims (window buttons etc (as sticky)… any recommendations?
- replace drivers inner door handle.
- carbon splitter .
- front pads and discs are brand new (Godspeed and PBS pads).
- rear pads need doing (ordered).
- braided lines (not sure on what colour?)
- oil filter (oem) and new plugs and washers.
- fluids change (thinking millers for the motor and rbf700 for the brakes as I have tonnes of it. Any gearbox oil recommendations?
- get it up on a ramp and clean and treat the underside.
- going to store the turinis and put some Speedline 2118’s on but not sure whether to go for anthracite or white ?
- decent coilovers.
- check and replace any bushes.
Full alignment with camber bolts and shims.
- Buckets.
- potentially a half cage.

Everything to be reversible and I’ll keep all of the stock items.


Any comments welcomed as always

If you're going 2118s on RB, they have to be white for sure.

I have the PMS ARB I think it fits a little neater if nothing else. Can't find any photo

Got a few minor jobs done this morning down at the unit.

Rear pads were shagged, replaced with brembo’s.

Oil and filter done. The Renault garage that serviced it last year … feck knows what they did the filter up with but had to get the breaker bar on it !

Some randoms

 

[Advikaz]

Couple more bits ordered this morning,

Sabelt Wheel with the Volantech Buttons

 

[Advikaz]

Need to order a boss/hub as well. Assuming with a resistor for the airbag?

Looks great this, good buy. Looking forward to seeing it transform further 👍

Thanks mate, I'm sure my bank account won't enjoy the process, but I certainly am

 

[Advikaz]

Had the dent man in today to go to town on the clio.

Nothing that’s broken the paint but a few hard to notice dings here and there taken out

Hoping some of the parts start to arrive today!

Highly recommend Kent Dent Repair, been using him for years.

[Advikaz]

This is bloody lovely

Super happy with it. Swanky buttons to arrive soon hopefully

I am really enjoying being it’s caretaker !

 

[Advikaz]

What do we think on these seats ?

I was going to go for Corbeau… however I think it’ll annoy me against the Sabelt wheel…

 

[Advikaz]

Not much to update really.

Still waiting on parts from K-Tec and Volantec. Seems to be taking an eternity. Struggling to get hold of Volantech tbf.

Have purchased a Corbeau Pro Sport seat (new) from a member on here, and have another on order with Corbeau.

Think I'm going to go for BC coilovers. Still undecided on 2118 colour .... hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Advikaz]

Few more bits turned up today.

Painfully slow profess 😭

K-Tec really are useless, not sure how they're still in business tbh.
Nice choice with the seat, will look great against the Sabelt wheel and the RB. Make sure to get lowered seat frames though !

Thanks for the comment mate.

These are the frames I’m having … I know sweet FA about seat frames so hopefully they’re right….

No idea about that one to be honest! You might find you’ll sit quite high up though without lowered frames. Obviously down to driver preference though. Jon Foz is generally the go-to-guy for lowered frames if required mate.

Not used BC before but heard good things. They look, feel good quality so let’s see.

Car should be off for paint later this week and then booked in for the suspension and geo to be done early Jan 😍

 

[Mr Underhill]

If you can hang on until the spring, I'll be taking the ones off my new circuit car and selling on. BC DS 9kg/8kg.

 

[Advikaz]

Got round to fitting the wheel and switch gear today

All good, horn and cruise works.

Only thing is I now have a service light and what looks like stability light on? Any ideas

Steering Angle sensor needs resetting. Sometimes it’s also down to the type of steering boss you fit as well.

 

[Advikaz]

Steering Angle sensor. It’s either fooked or it needs resetting.

Hmmm, where is it mate ?

Not really sure what I’m looking at. It’s possible I’ve busted something as the cabling in there is well… French

Would that be an MoT fail?

 

[Mr Underhill]

Would that be an MoT fail?

I’m not sure TBH. Check the yellow dot is lined up on the sensor. Stick the wheel back on and give it a run. Sometimes they can reset themselves, but usually need a diagnostic and codes clearing.

 

[Jamess182]

That looks the business mate. Nice job.

It’s completely changed the driving experience over the stock one!

Thanks mate. I pretty sure this is the problem as I was spinning it around like I had no idea.

Because I didn’t 😂

 

[Cub.]

Looks good.

When you have finished and are bored, I shall happily buy. 🥹👍
