My 182 progress



  Renault Clio 182
hey guys haven't really posted on here since I first brought the car few months ago.
Brought the car with the intentions on stripping her out and tracking her but after she got under my skin I felt so much guilt actually doing it.

The time came for me to ignore my feelings, get the tool kit out and gut out the interior :) ran standard seats for a while as couldn't find seats I liked in my budget, only ones I liked were recaro pole positions.
Finally found the new Corbeau club sports, not FIA approved but dirt cheap, £260 for the pair from a friend of mine who's company deals with Corbeau!! :)
One problem I had was the seat mounts, had to get custom ones made by a local guy so the seat sits low as poss, Great seats!
At the Same time my friend also sells Luke harnesses, as they are made by Corbeau so I had some Silver ones made to order and the will be going in this week.
Other things I've done were....

Eibach sport lines
Cup tow eye
Genuine clio v6 spoiler
Ktec induction kit
Refurrbed wheels
New Michelin PS3s
Headlight restored
Sorted out few niggles with new coil pack and new o2 sensors.
Just ordered sabelt rs steering wheel from rsport. And the boss etc I'll get from Demontweeks.
I'm sure I've forgotten something but that's the majority of it.
She's already got decent brakes all round so they will get me by for now.
I just wanted to improve her for very little money and gradually build it up into a beast.
Thanks for looking guys let me know what you think.

Pictures to follow...

Wow that sounds like a huge amount of work from someone who is inexperienced. Even if you do have the odd mishap (lol) at least you learn from it. I'm getting stuck into mine shortly and hoping to get the car on the track very soon!

Car looks good. I'm doing the same as you. Where did you get the spoiler. I didn't realise there was that much difference.
