That's two dodgy clios you've seen and posted about, un-lucky mate, seems your surrounded by nails!!
1.2 with a 2.0?, I'm guessing you have done an engine conversion?
QFT. I physically laugh out loud at them these days.
I'd find this embaressing anyway, but would love to see the look on his face when a real 182 reaches 5000 RPM
The model of the car original is a 1.2 with a 2.0 now in it's place yep.

182 standard 182 bhp mine is around 195 so I doubt you would see my face maybe the back of my head ;-)

I don't believe this has a 2.0 16v in it as a month or so ago the car was not up for much on a long straight.
Unless in the last few weeks it's been done.

There is another black Clio kicking about at the marco garage as I have seen it a few times, once again it has 2.0 bullets with a smurf hanging from the rear bumper and a sticker also on the rear bumper.
It could be the same car but not sure

Haha, not a clue how I missed your response to this :s
And I'm sorry to be negative but if you think a 182 has 182 BHP then I'm afraid your car definitely will not have the 195 BHP you think it has... Nevertheless, must be fun suprising a few with the standard looks. Mechanically speaking, have you done an entire conversion? (i.e. rear beam & discs, cup springs & dampers etc)

Couple of eBay resistors and an ecotec valve iirc.
Seriously though, how come you didn't fit the rs wings, skirts and bumpers from the donor car?
Not quite a rep nor is it a sleeper :S

I'm assuming its insured as a 2.0l then, as its coming up on askMID as a Renault Clio Extreme 16v...........
Haha seriously if I was going to lie it'd be about something better than having a 2.0
To be totally honest going by your spotted post if I was going into Edinburgh it'd have more than likely to drop my Mum off for her night out in which case my hands are a bit tied! However if you do see me again and i'm in it on my own by all means make yourself known ;-)
Ok but then the 182 that is going to embarass when it hits 5000rpm is going to have the same power minus the mods so if that's the best comeback you have i'm disapointed!
It's the full conversion stripped my car down to a bare so there a very few bits left from the 1.2 if any at all. It is good fun i'll give you that.
Yes officer!
Not lots done it has a 182 manifold, cold air induction and cat cams and mapped to suit 195 is about right for that set up aswell.
Yeah if you see me about give me a flash mate i'm around Livi all the time.
Why does it have to be one or the other? I don't want the kit as then it's just any other 182/172 and lets be honest they are not all that special in the grand scheme of things. The 2.0 bullets well they are black with only the lettering highlighted so until you get up close not a huge giveaway. The exhaust i'd almost agree on it doesn't suit the car without the kit but it was a compromise I made so that I could keep the 182 manifold. The exhaust makes too many people wary about what is in it to be honest. Though if you know your cars you can tell with that the track on it isn't the standard 1.2 track anyway. Standard is the way I will keep it 1.2 style the only time the 182 kit might go on is when the turbo arrives!
I'll notice the 5 for sure is it on the road often as I can't remember the last time I saw one! See your around.
It's always been an ambition of mine to do it. A lot of the fun in having the car was doing the conversion itself. Having owned my car since new it makes no sense for me to sell it and get back next to nothing and at the time it had a major wiring fault. Would I do it again no but would never change what I done as lets face it anyone with money can go out and buy a 182 whereas this is slightly different not many people can say they have converted a car.
You can tell what power a car has by seeing someone pull away in first gear?
Next time you see me give me a shout i'll take you out for a quick blast if you like you can make your mind up after that.
Fair do's, if you're mechanically mindede and want the challenge of it.
I wouldn't, but then I've no mech skills.
Oh, and I'm pretty sure a Smartuki would nail you as you pull away in 1st gear, and that's only got about 140hp
so you drive up my street like a tw*t past my kids playing up the top at the park with no insurance ? hmmmm
i'll be having some words wi the local i think , and tell yer gaffer davy to get a haircut
Audi A4 1.8T Sport
WTF is everyones problem with his car?
i'd rather have a 1.2 looker that goes like a RS.
Have you got a thread on the build? good on ya for doing it :cheers: makes a nice change to see someone do something for themselves on their car.
