If you get a decat again i'll buy you a beer :rasp:

Why dont you have some tyres swapped around so you can have 2 re-furbed wheels on one side and two proper on the other? that way it wont be half as clear.

I don't think these alloys will be staying on anyway, hopefully getting some others in the next few months so it's not too much of a problem...

Joe R26 · Mar 17, 2011

Hi Ste! Yeah its not too bad I suppose, its running on JET petrol and hasnt been serviced in a while, and I think the exhaust is fooooooked lol

You still coming to the meet at the weekend mate?

I should still be able to come on sunday, promised a mate i would go watch him doing a 4x4 off road trial event but should be finished in time.

If i get round to selling my yozza before you get one then i'll still give you first refusal on it

........to be honest i think i prefered the sound the zorstec made over the yozza, yozza is raspy and race like but the zorstec was more beefy and V8 like, just personal preference for me, can't deny the yozza sounds awesome when giving some welly though

Nice one Ste!

Joe R26 · Mar 17, 2011

Why did you get rid of the Yozza before Matt?.

Yeah mate i chopped out that abomination of a reducer from the zorstec then i tig welded it back up so it should be free flowing and loud now too

, just sitting in the shed waiting for some warm weather so i can get under the car and change them around.......don't know when that will be yet though as i have zero free time at the moment.

I sold the car mate, Yozza'an'all....

Worst thing I ever did, it was Mint.

Ah right cool, so the first warm day of spring/summer can I expect another afternoon on my car park with you doing some swappage?

lol

Ste666 · Mar 17, 2011

Ha ha maybe mate.......as long as when the zorstec goes back on it doesn't affect the performance and isn't stupidly loud or i'm swapping them back and throwing the zorstec in the scrap bin

Lol fair play mate.

Matthew · Mar 31, 2011

Not an update as such, just thought I would post a cheeky picture of my Arctic park up with a LY R26 at work. Thats 2 LY's in the same car park, the R26 and a V6, not to mention two or three 172/182's...

Oh and a photoshop of a previous picture, thought it looked cool (done on my iphone4)

Coilovers and new top mounts are going on in the next 2 week.

Matt.

HartZ · Mar 31, 2011

artic is one of my favourite colours in the RS

Matthew · Apr 6, 2011

Update: posted these in an earlier thread but thought I would update this progress one...

New Trophy wheels fitted today, impulse buy but well worth it....

Thanks

Matt.

Ste666 · Apr 6, 2011

Very nice Matt i like them, coming along well

By the way the yozza should be up for sale in the next few weeks so you've still got first refusal if you want it then.

Ste666 · Apr 6, 2011

Matthew · Apr 24, 2011

Hi guys, update time....

Finally got my coilovers fitted at Birchdown, didnt want to go as low as my last RB182 (if you saw it you will realise why) it was soooo low, unusable day to day....

Also had my new Yozza fitted (thanks to Ste666).

Its making a horendus noise at certain rev's (I think the heat-sheild is catching so needs sorting ASAP)

[video=vimeo;22775444]http://vimeo.com/22775444[/video]

Thanks

Ste666 · Apr 24, 2011

Sounds really good Matt, luckily the wind noise wasn't too bad, i tried to do one with mine a few months back but the wind noise was louder than the exhaust

Thought you drove up our road earlier today, someone with a clio almost exactly the same as yours came up and i'm sure he had a Yozza too, only difference was the wheels, what are the odds of that, i've never seen one other RS clio around here till a week ago and now there are two more within two streets!

Matthew · Apr 24, 2011

Lol nope defo not me Ste. I'm gona upload a video of that noise in abit so you can have a listen before I pop over tommorow...

Matthew · Apr 25, 2011

Couple of quick iPhone pics from this aft (me and Ste sorting the Yozza)

The old girl is nearly finished....

To do list:

Cambelt/Dephaser/Waterpump - Done
Coilovers - Done
Splitter - Done
Yozza - Done
Trophy wheels - Done
RS Tuner
DS2500 Pads + New Fluid
Rear bumper re-spray (due to previous owner scraping it)

The Chubby Pirate · Apr 25, 2011

Thats perfect Matthew, a credit to other Arctic owners aswell as yourself. I love mine.

That Yozza exhaust is a work of art.

Ste666 · Apr 25, 2011

Looks spot on now Matt, i think all 182's should have Yozza's fitted as standard

Joe R26 · Apr 25, 2011

Looking good Matt. Glad to see you got your Yozza in the end

. I've got a decat here if you want it mate. Only been used for about 500 miles lol!!.

Joe R26 · Apr 25, 2011

I'll have to think on mate, the Mrs will need convincing first - had one before and it didnt go down well lol

Joe R26 · Apr 25, 2011

lol cool. Just give us a shout if you want it. It does sound awesome but its no good for what I use the car for. Blasting about late at night lol.

Matthew · Apr 25, 2011

Decat Yozza is defiantly full of win, I'll think about it mate

smit247 · Apr 25, 2011

Looks good to me! Possibly because it looks so familiar

you had any problems with your 3/4 plate, thinking of getting one done…

leeds_182 · Apr 26, 2011

Coming together that mate, nice.
