Alright guys been meaning to upload pics of the new runaround for a while but due to the car spending more time on the ramp than the roads recently only managed to get pics the other day.
As a few will know got engaged a while back and also moved into the new flat in the summer which is great
However decided that saving must now take priority so sold the subaru and began my search for a nice wee car to runabout in over the next year. I looked at a load of cars including another jordan(couldnt find a clean one to save myself), another ek9 which i came very close to purchasing however slightly out of what i wanted to spend, so decided after owning another 172 cup sport which was a great wee car i decided to try and find a 182 and one that was slightly newer. yes i know by this point your already cursing the frenchie haha
Here is a pic of my old 172 sport :
Spec as follows:
2004
26000 miles from new
1 previous owner
frsh
completely standard
Was by far one of the best driving cars i have owned and was a nippy wee baxxxrd lol
So after trawling through a load of ads on ebay and pistonheads and looking on renault forums i found one in blackpool and managed to get a steal of a deal in my opinion
Spec as follows:
182 cup sport
2005
59000 miles from new
full stainless steel scorpion exhaust system with decat
spax 35mm lowering springs all round
remap
Excuse the colour of the seat cover working in a garage doesnt help lol
So overall i have been extremely happy since i bought it, i have however given the car an overhaul in terms of getting it bang on and have replaced nearly every part on the car inclduing:
1. 2x new front droplinks
2. 2x Anti roll bar bushes
3. 2x Track rod ends
4. New power steering sensor
5. New steering wheel as thumb grip had worn on one side
6. brand new good year tyres all round
7. sealed exhaust as was blown in one area
8. 2x New bottom ball joints
My plans are if i keep it past next summer when im back from the ring with a few friends is too:
1. underseal full car
2 respray front end as suffers from a good few stone chips lol
3. and general maintenance
I hope you like the pics and will update the thread as much as i can
