Arctic 182 progress...

[MrTom]

I met up with Andy yesterday to pick my car up, all i can say is.. ITS QUICK!

I have given it a quick wash today as it hasnt had a clean for over two months, i havnt been out in it today, but im going out for an hr before work

Heres a couple of pics i took after a clean, sorry about the quality of the pics, it was off my phone and it was getting dark, i did take my camera but the battery run out after the 1st picture lol.

Clio 182 Turbo... 270BHP - 248LBFT





If anyone is thinking is it worth it, its fast,very fast.

 

[MrTom]

Small update, i decided to spray my interior plastics arctic blue, ill get some pics tomorrow when they are fitted, they have come out better than i had hoped for, they are perfect..

Looks awesome. I'd love to see how it compares to a megged 197/200. The 182 being lighter should in theory be ahead

Added stickers to my interior parts today and gave them a final coat of lacquer..

 

[MrTom]

I decided to give the interior a clean today, shampoo'd, hoovered, all trims and leather etc treated, i also fitted my painted interior plastics the other day which i think look quite good, heres a couple of pics, sorry about the quality it was a bit dull.





Heres a couple of quick pics i took of the bay earlier after a quick wipe over with a qd, i am going to give all the pipes/chrome a polish tomorrow and add a bit of rubber and trim restorer to the hoses/plastics etc to bring them all up perfect..





Thanks for reading.

 

[shubz197]

The attention to detail is what makes this one of my favourite cars atm

 

[MrTom]

Thanks shubz that means a lot mate.

 

[shubz197]

No bro, thank you for sharing this masterpiece. Truly inspiring. Just don't go getting a big head LOL!

Are you planning on uploading any videos?

 

[MrTom]

Lol I'm not big headed dude far from it, its just a car but its my pride and joy.

Yes im going to put some speedo vids up once its run in properly and I have been back up to Clio turbo for an oil change and a health check.

 

[shubz197]

Was just kidding ;-)

I'd be keen to see the car in action. We don't have any turbo'd 182's this side. We do have one on NOS though, and he made 177kw and 312nm. That car is bonkers, but other than that the others are pretty much "stage 1".

Will be nice to know what your car is like when being pushed around corners etc

 

[MrTom]

I'll update mate no worries and thanks

 

[shubz197]

You're welcome. Keep up the good work.

 

[MrTom]

You're welcome. Keep up the good work.

Cheers pal :thumbup:

 

[MrTom]

So i gave the engine bay a good clean today, treating all rubbers and plastics and polishing all the chrome up nice and shiny.

To be honest you cant tell that much difference from yesterdays pics as the bay was already pretty clean, but you can tell up close.

 

[MrTom]

Powerflex twisted dogbone mount kit ordered, cant wait to fit this.

 

[MrTom]

I ordered my powerlex dogbone bushes at 3:50 yesterday afternoon, the post man delivered them this morning at 11 oclock, wtf!




My mate under the car bolting it on for me, hes thinner than me

My friend just fitted one to his 20th ed. Says it works brilliantly! Can't wait to hear your feedback... I've sent mine to a guy here who fills the mounts with polyurethane. Also works Damn well, a was a cheaper option for me at the time, considering shipping costs, etc.

Anyhow, keep the updates coming!

Peace
