Great choice for a track toy, I’ve got a good mate who worked at bruntingthorpe raceway with clio 182s, had a chat with him he recommend Decent wheels/tyres for a start. Poly bush everything. Camber adjusters on the front to increase camber. Good idea to think about a cage. Gearboxes can be a weak point, look for oil leaks from the selector shaft (which I see you have fixed) the standard seats he said are not ideal for track use. He also ran a bilstien suspension kit. Look forward to watching the build 👍🏻
Mine had Apex springs on when I first bought it, probably the worst springs you can put on these cars, but I guess its all about learning as you go along. Looking forward to the next video 😂
I once owned a Renault namely a Mégane it drove beautifully but my god did loads of things go wrong. However as this is more of a project and hopefully track car I'm sure you have this covered. Great little cars look forward to seeing it develop. 👍
Nice bru. I bought one for myself for Christmas last year. Thing is crazy round the bends. Did the belts and intake pully. Cost me R12500 here in Cape Town but it is how it is. You must make a video driving the shit out of it in the corners. Nice clips keep them coming

They’re temporary until coilovers 👍🏻
Nicely freshen up and few improvements :)

Looking good mate, can I ask how much this cost to fix up? cheap 172/182 clio's are sooo tempting

Looking forward to the. First drive video of this 👍
Thats the next video 👍🏻
Nice!😎
Hope you cashed in on your old cat! Got £430 for mine before Christmas

Be worth replacing the shocks looking at them. Best thing you can do is refresh everything in the suspension
That’s the long term plan 👍🏻
@@CarsWithSmithy just be better saving for a while and getting a decent set of coilovers 👌
miss my 182..😣
Contacted JML Automotive for a quote, for some clio work. Unfortunately no reply.
When and how did you contact them?
