RB 182 Cup

[d5n]

I used to own a C2 VTS but after 2years of owning it, it was time for a new project.

A Racing Blue Clio 182 Cup

Few pics i took at the dealership.

Got a few mods in mind,
Coilovers,
Rear anti roll bar,
Rear strut brace,
Front strut brace,
Camber bolts/arms,
Fast road setup,
Uprated discs and pads,
Braided brake lines,
K-tec decat exhaust system,
Induction kit or uprated panel filter,
Matched inlets,
K-tec remap,
and some carbon bits.

Comments welcome.

Cheers for the comments, :approve:
The splitter will be replaced with a standard carbon fibre one and the rear lights swapped for standard ones.
Oh and on my list it says get a Ktec decat exhaust but i now want a Yozzasport with decat pipe.

Pics after its first wash,

After talking to my mate that has a 182 and having a good look round it whilst washing it, i found out that it has a few mods i hadnt spotted lol.

It has a Ktec cat-back system, Ktec spoiler, Grooved discs and red stuff pads, Laguna splitter.
So thats a few things off my list.

 

[pedro.belintani]

i like it =P

 

[Cookson]

K-tec spoiler?

Looks more like a cup spoiler to me

 

[Kieran..]

yeaa usual cup spoiler on that,

different splitter and orginal lights would make it loads better

 

[d5n]

Yeah after looking through lots of pics it's a cup spoilier, it was my mate that said it was a Ktec spoiler he's got a non-cup 182. Standard lights are in the post and splitter is to be replaced with a carbon fibre cup splitter.

 

[d5n]

Well not been on here for a while,
Few little updates:
Smoked side repeaters

Finally fitted my standard rear lights

Decat pipe.
Small front plate - see pics below.

And picking up these next weekend

Fixed buckets and harnesses, so the rear will be being stripped.

Also had a little photoshoot with my mate who has a C2 last the weekend:

 

[Gt rob]

i hate centreless wheels!

 

[laberridge]

best colour for a cup I think the old lights were a unique look tbh. but either way standard look good too

 

[d5n]

Right bit of an update being as ive neglected my thread

Ive removed my bucket seats and sold them and replaced with my Cup interior.

Painted all 4 brake calipers blue.

Bought and fitted a set of Team Heko wind deflectors.

Fitted new number plates 3/4 front plate and carbon fibre style font rear plate.

Machine polished the paint work to get rid of some of the swirl marks left by the previous owner.

Got a set of Gaz coilovers to fit at the weekend so will get some pics up once they've been fitted.

Next on the "to do" list is:
Performance wise buy a BMC air filter, a set of matched inlets and a remap.
Handling wise buy a front strut brace, rear strut brace, rear anti roll bar and then get some camber bolts and have a fast road set up done.
Interior wise buy a half leather Renault Sport interior.
Visual wise buy a Skoda front splitter, get the front and rear diamonds wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl aswell as the door bullets and spoiler. Set of 15" pro race 1.2's for summer use.

Yeah i kind of liked them but like the standard lights aswell.

A few pics of the coilovers getting fitted and of how its sitting now.

A recent incident i had with a pheasant which left me with a broken front grill and undertray

And my MPG after my trip to Bristol to collect my Coilovers 44.2

 

[Kieran..]

looking good! you running any spacers?

 

[d5n]

looking good! you running any spacers?

Cheers mate, No not running any spacers as it would rub.

 

[Kieran..]

Does it rub at all like it is at the moment? An what size tyres are they?

 

[dezmondo]

Nice use of Morrisons car park there!

 

[kraig-cup]

Another lovely RB cup looks spot on

 

[182_sport]

Looks mint what coilovers are they? How isit dropped by?

 

[200 Alex]

Looks lovely mate especially on those coilies.

 

[d5n]

Does it rub at all like it is at the moment? An what size tyres are they?

It did when i first fitted the coils as i had them stupidly low, but doesnt rub anymore. Tyres are 205/45/16 Michelin front and Continential on the back although all 4 tyres are nearly bold so going to fit 4 Rainsport 2's next 195/45/16 so i can probley run spacers and go down abit more. Ive not decided yet.

Nice use of Morrisons car park there!

Stalker lol. Where abouts you from in Leicestershire? Around Melton? Im from Melton Mowbray but put Leicester as my location as not many people no where it is.

Another lovely RB cup looks spot on

Cheers mate.

Cheers, its on Gaz coilovers with custom springs. The rear springs are half the size of the standard springs and the front springs are about 5-10cm shorter than the standard Gaz springs. The back is the highest it will go and front still has 30 threads left on the front which is about 2/3rds down.

Looks lovely mate especially on those coilies.

Cheers fella.

Ah rite mate. I work near Bottesford, Langar airfield.

 

[d5n]

Well not had much luck over the past few weeks.
Thought my front hub was buckled/warped but it turned out that my K-tec discs where warped. They've now been replaced with OEM discs.
Bye bye K-tec discs

Some kind person decided that they would key the whole street one night whilst i was at my gf's. Which means i now need a driverside respray or partial respray

Clio got a little dirty

So gave it a clean and got the camera out before it got to dark

Few random pics

 

[Ash']

very nice, best colour too

Cheers Ash, Slightly biased comment lol.

 

[d5n]

Finally fitted my Skoda splitter and replaced all my exhaust rubbers/mounts to stop the exhaust scapping speedbumps.

Few pics after a cleaning session with my mate and his DC5.

Rinsed and ready for shampoo:

A few pics after a coat of Meguiars Gold Class Wax

And ive started to carbon wrapping a few interior parts and exterior parts.

 

[182_sport]

Why red??

 

[d5n]

Why red??

I saw a RB 182 Cup last year at a show with red bits on it and i liked it, although i might just get a load of carbon fibre bits instead.

 

[182_sport]

I think you will regret the red, just the regular carbon ftw
