Titanium Silver 182 FF - First Project

[matt911]

So i made a thread a while back...took loads of pics, made a few minor changes and they phone messed up and lost them .
Decided to start again and do this properly as best i can.
Here goes:



182 FF Titanium Silver bought on 44k
New Eibach Sportlines 50mm drop at front-30mm rear
Vibra technics engine mounts
Piper Viper induction kit
Everything else standard

Thats pretty much all i have for when i first got her.

Next the VERY first thing i bought was a Scorpion SRN019 exhaust with the decat. The custom one on looked horrid so that got binned.
I liked the sound of these, they wasnt that much and the tips are nice:

By this point i had bought a RS Tuner kit for the pops and bangs, made a nice improvement i could feel but sadly never got a dyno run with this map .

Replaced a few bulbs with silver visions

Put these in for abit of fun that ZanderMichaelJason will like . I like them for now.

So heres the next big thing:
I bought this car with FSH mostly Renault so i never gave a thought about any service issues. But one morning i heard a belt squeal and then went to check when the aux belt was changed.... So i found out it never had a Cam or Aux belt change at all and it was sitting on 48-50k at the time being 9 years old it was doing well haha.

So i went and bought a pair of Catcams 438 from K tec, and a KTR induction kit and got her booked in for a Dephaser change aswell as the belts..sadly no pictures of the cams.

Went straight up to RS Tuning in leeds and made 181.2

All looking very tidy Definitely approve of the foot well lights Even match my colour
Will definitely subscribe to see any updates seems as yours is a pretty similar colour to mine
Out of interest, what colour code is yours? And also, where did you get those pedals from, they look lush

Dont no about the code buddy but its called Titanium Silver and the pedal are standard on sports, well 182's at least

Ahh okay, looks very similar to mine that's all - It's not though as mine is Mercury Silver Gutted :L
Sucks about the pedals! Thought that was an add on! Wouldn't exactly be an easy swap to change pedals :L Gutted about that too :L

 

[matt911]

Heres my KTR induction along with a new engine cover

Also just a few pics after a wax yesterday

You may have noticed its lower that before ^


Also debadged and got a new RS badge for a bargain off the CS marketplace

 

[matt911]

Got these beauties: Sanded bullets in 205-110 i believe Anthracite and Titanium Silver letters for a bargain from Sprayshack on here:

After:

 

[matt911]

Just before anybody asks, yes i know my splitter is missing and im hoping to fit one soon

I wouldnt know mate but im sure loads of people have put those pedals in. My left foot rest is an addon which goes over the plastic. But sadly the rest is standard :rasp:

Found a video of my dyno run at RS Tuning

And also this is after the map with pops and bangs on

[matt911]

So next thing i believe is coilovers and new wheels my favorite bit! I already showed a picture above of it lower on these.

So buying wheels and coilovers together isnt cheap so i went for Vmaxx coilys from ebay they are mega cheap i cant believe it.

 

[matt911]

Gave her a wash and this is how she sits atm - with my mates astra

 

[matt911]

Things i want are:

Titanium silver washer blanks
Splitter
After rear demister fixed possibly windows tints (not sure)
New number plate printed plain without screws
Headlights need a good restoration
New front grille maybe as slightly UV damaged
New wheels (coming next )
New front discs and brakes
Few repairs need doing to body nothing major

Top work mate, Titanium is so underrated! But yours is looking really nice. The only thing I personally dislike are the Blue Footwell Lights, but each to their own as you say...

Thanks mate, Titanium is great and im going to prove it

 

[matt911]

Ok so the most exiting part so far.... my wheel choice.

I ALMOST bought some 2118's brand new out the box but im glad i didnt, its gotta be close to the most common aftermarket wheel change on these clio's. I wanted something you dont see everyday and a small challenge for me.

Rota Grid Drifts 16x8 Bronze
Tyres: 195/45/16 T1R Proxes

My Precious..

Haha, fair enough, might look into it and see if it's possible Where'd you get the foot rest add on then?

 

[Martin.]

Some good progress so far mate.

Not entirely sure on the wheels, but I'll hold judgement until I see them fitted.

Power seems a tad low from 438s.

Ebay mate, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20dde914cf , heres mine check out if yours is the same or not.

Yeah i was disappointed with the power, thing is due to belts being so overdue i didnt risk a dyno before the cams fitting.
It was mapped with V power, it had a few exhaust leaks and a dodgy lambda at the time; but now ive replaced both lambdas, got a brand new upgraded centre piece from Scorpion for free and started using tesco 99 fuel due to me moving house and its feeling alot better IMO so im gonna get a map tweak and a run soon.

 

[VIICarCare]

Looks a clean tidy example

 

[matt911]

I knew these wouldnt fit before i bought them. Just wasnt sure how bad :lolup:

So immediately wouldnt fit due to catching the calipers, so i bought some 20mm spacers to try out

And this is what they did

Front

I think the rear is good to stay once i add some camber and do the arches.
The fronts im gonna remove the spacers and find somebody who can cut my alloys inside

 

[Jekyll]

You wanted something different to 2118s so you bought these which seem to be equally as popular :rasp:

As said in your other thread, shaving the calipers seems to be the way people make these fit. Have a search mate as i believe its been covered quite a lot.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

matt911 are you currently running rota's on the front and standard wheels on the rear? If so I saw you earlier!

Was at the traffic lights at John Flamsteed, I was going towards Ripley and was sat waiting on a red and saw you go though from street lane up to denby village

[matt911]

So abit of update.

Purchased some -2 degree shims from Pure Motorsport and due to impatience have raised the rear to fit.
