Apologies for the amount of photo's I take.. I've copied the entire thread from Cliosport.net so it's quite an introduction
However, that's what projects are all about !?
The misses and I have owned a tidy Trophy spec 172 in Flame Red, an immaculate DCI 100 with lots of extras, and a Liquid Yellow 182 (I still miss this car). I enjoyed driving each one of them and said one day I would get myself one at some point, and here we are.
The car's original advert and pictures:
Stunning White with ST Orange Alloys -
Cammed and Ktec Chipped - Pretty sure it has a Ktec Stage 1 Map, but the cams I highly doubt
Ktec Coilovers
Ktec Matched Inlets
K&N Apollo Induction kit
Ktec Stealth Exhaust - Also has a decat pipe
182 Gear Box - This was hardly a selling point - The speedo didn't work !
Show cage - Dangerous
Carbon Fibre Trims - Mirrors, Bullets, Rear bumper strip, Front Fog Surrounds - See thread
Polybushed - All I can see so far is a Powerflex dogbone mount
De-badged boot
"This car sounds AMAZING, like it's on throttle bodies"
So after a bit of a deal and cash my way the exchange was made, and the car was finally away from that ridiculous 'Swapz' website where most of it's wreckage came from
Fairwell to my Ibiza Cupra, owned it twice and spent a fortune on re-painting it etc but time for a bit of RenaultSport again!
I took the car straight to the garage and set about getting some pics before work began:
Out came the tools
Door pillar badges were missing so..
Polished up after this
Stupid petrol cap and rear window stickers removed
As an emergency measure, borrowed my 5's William's wheels
Got a bit dark so drove home and unbolted the "cage" ..... also ST Orange but had started to be sanded down
On the new wheels
Next set about doing a few bits to the interior
How the centre console was fitted...
Unplugged and broken hazard switch
How the steering was... (Ball joint was LOOSE and tracking 3-4 degrees out...) So had this sorted on the finest laser equipment
Changed a blown reversing bulb for a reversing beeper, why not
Set about removing all the crap behind the console and dash, Nokia Bluetooth kit etc
Here shows other things that went in the bin (guess the bulb colour)
Sub earth
Amp live cable!
Loose switch
The seats
You may of noticed the "Carbon" the car was advertised with... It's now in the bin
