Aussie 182

[bluecup182]

Hi Gents, the Renault Australian Nationals are in a few weeks, so time for a few tweaks. Couple of photos I took on the weekend. Hope you guys like.

 

[Sargara]

Nice and clean. What are those alloys?

 

[Jat_172cup]

15" Oz Ultras I think...

 

[jobac]

very clean

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

15" oz supperleggas the ones before the ultralegs

very clean mate like the samcos

 

[bluecup182]

Thanks for the positive comments

Their 16" OZ Racing Supperleggas, in a different offset to OEM wheels, so that they just fit under arches.

I'm bit of a clean freak, so she's clean...

 

[bluecup182]

Thought I'd throw up another image......

 

[Austin-182]

Looks nice mate! Many sports over ther?

 

[bluecup182]

Not as big as UK,most Aussies drive V8 Commondoors, or WRX's, but plenty of us are passionate.
I've posted a link below to the Australian site. Our Nationals are coming up so I'll post some images from that. You'd be surprised how many of us watch this site.
Not as many Track focused RS cars in Australia, as you guys enjoy second hand prices, we can only dream of.

I like .

 

[Kris86]

looks good mate. RS clios/meganes/V6's rare over there like over here?

 

[Christopher]

That looks superb. Nice work.

Just needs a splitter for the front.

 

[jim cook]

Nice

 

[bluecup182]

Yes, it does need a splitter on the front. It's on the to do list, for sure.

RS aren't rare but not common either, which is nice...

Here's a photo of some of the club cars from the Clubs 5th B'day meet in Sydney, thanks Alex for the Photo.

 

[Cal182]

Nice mate! What's your future plans for it?

 

[bluecup182]

What are my plans?

Well so far I have
-lowered with Eibach Sportlines
-Trophy Sachs Rear Damper
-Oz 16's
-New Kumho Ku31 tyres
-Samco hoses for coolant and air intake
-K&N filter, after trying a few different options went back to the drop in panel.
-Poly bushes for lower engine mount
-Pulled out braces, hinges in boot and under seats.
-Lowered seats
-Just done belts, fuel pump and TPC sensor
-new steering wheel, and CD under warranty
-Had most of car resprayed
-Richbrook gear knob
-generally alot of farting around to make sure that she running and looking tip top.

Whats next, well I would like some Koni front Dampers and some Compbrake solid mounts.As well I am going to get the OZ wheels powder coating the same colour as the Trophy wheels, that dark grey.
And I'm always keeping a eye on what you boys there are doing......

 

[bluecup182]

A couple of new shot's, well the shot of wheels isn't so new.

 

[Matt Cup]

Very nice mate! Love the 2nd shot :star:

 

[bluecup182]

Thanks Matt, I like that shot too.
A couple from a Club Night drive through the Mountains on the South Coast of NSW last week

 

[walkie86]

Looking good Brad! Here's another couple of photos of her (although she sits lower now with the Eibachs!)

 

[bluecup182]

Thanks for those pics, Alex.
You could have a picnic under those archs, the gap is so high.

 

[ch!ppen]

Looks smart! My Aunty and Uncle live over in Aus. They keep telling me to go over but it isn't cheap!! Will do one day within the next 2/3 year's though i hope.

VTS aswell? Lucky man

 

[bluecup182]

Thanks Chippen. No it isn't cheap to fly of here, would think it is by the amount of British Backpackers are around though.
Here's a photo of my VTS, nice car, totally different to the 182....lucky? maybe, I just spoil myself, I guess.:approve:

 

[bluecup182]

Put a Skoda Splitter on this weekend, so took the opportunity to take a couple of shots...:approve:

 

[bluecup182]

.....

 

[Fred@BTM]

no one mention the ashes!

 

[Sargara]

Or flooding... too soon?

 

[sgtbash999]

Flooding is horrendous over there at the minute - hope you're not living in Queensland mate?

Have to say Oz is an awesome place! I was over there in November / December - went to Cairns, Sydney & Melbourne. Not cheap by any means but wages over there do reflect the high cost of living. Even basic office workers are earning $24 an hour in some places (£16 that is for us)

Anyway, back on topic - lovely motor!

Very smart

 

[bluecup182]

That's for the mostly good comments, let's not talk Cricket or Rugby, please. Had to let you fella's have something.

Had the OZ Supperleggra's powdercoated gloss Black and back on. Looks tough I reckon.......

 

[Ads_172]

What's the exchange rate at the moment? Fuel prices are cheaper there in dollars than they are here in pounds!

Looks nice, much prefer the darker wheels.

 

[bluecup182]

My young bloke made a 3D image of my car. Got to love those Apps.
To get the effect you need the Old School Red and Blue glasses.

 

[bluecup182]

Picked up a Carbon Engine cover from UK. No more Kw, but some added bling for the engine bay.

 

[bluecup182]

Went for a good drive through the mountains on the weekend and took a couple of shots, most crap but don't mind this one. Seems to be the local burnout spot.

 

[Scrooge]

Check out all those tyre marks! NIce clean car mate, Don't get the combrake solid top mounts, they were biggest load of crap I have ever had the misfortune to buy.

Thanks Scrooge. I was thinking about those Combrake mounts so I think I might have to put them off for awhile.
Aussie's love a burnout, national pastime.

 

[bluecup182]

Had a nice drive through the Mountains yesterday and made a short vid of part of the drive. Thought you fellas might like to see what Australian roads are like. It's a public road so I had to behave and follow the rules.

 

[SharkyUK]

Very smart mate - looks good. Cheers for posting up the video.

Off topic... love Australia after spending 2-3 months there last Christmas and New Year. Mind you, the police seem VERY strict over there when it comes to driving! On one occasion we drove for miles (hours and hours) out from Perth into the middle of nowhere and didn't see a single car for hours. Then, rounding a bend, there was sat a police patrol with a speed gun! No kidding, he must have been a good 100 miles from ANY form of civilisation.

Haha, lass from work get's back from back packing in Aus next week... And my friend goes to Aus for a year in September... She's planning on staying a year though!

Car looks a lot better with the splitter on. Fitted mine tonight

 

[Craig.]

I like that alot, love the superleggas on clios

Where abouts are you in Oz? I was in sydney in november & couldnt believe how many clio sports i spotted
