October's EVO Magazine has an article on £4000 performance cars; Subaru Impreza WRX v Alfa 147 GTA v MR2 v Clio 182 Whilst not a true group test looking for a winner, the Clio 182 was chosen as the one car out of the above they'd like to own / drive on a day to day basis.

That's what I suspected as I've got no warning lights even though I've got no resistors. Thanks Simon.

My 182 Cup had Recaro Trendlines fitted and I've just fitted 182 leather / alcantara. Cups do not come with side / seat airbags fitted. My car has the wiring it came with including the standard blocks, but does not have any resistors, yet I get no airbag warning lights. So my question is, do...

Thanks everyone, I've emailed fastchip and await their reply regarding putting it back to standard. If possible, I'll buy a used RSTuner and a map from fastchip. Cheers John

I honestly couldn't say, I did believe the seller, but I have no proof. It does appear to have a raised rev limit as it doesn't kick in at 7250, but I've never tested at what point it does, I feared a wallet bashing mechanical disaster!

Yep, I'm always boringly upfront about everything. I do get a hard time because of this too honest approach sometimes :-)

I really don't know I'm afraid, it was mapped by the previous owner and I'm not in contact.

:-)

Does that mean I'm stuck with what I've got? as the rstuner that did it is long gone.

It is insurance driven. How much is your rstuner please jigg?

My son has fallen on hard times, so to help him out (as he's lost his car) I'm giving him my RB 182 Cup. The only problem is he has a bit of a checkered driving history and I need to remove current engine map and put it back to standard. I'm guessing I need to buy and RSTuner module as this is...

That made me feel sick! Almost 8 minutes of 180mph or there abouts, how many opportunities of making a life ending mistake for you and / or any other road user?

I've just gone back to standard offset on my 182 for et36 i.e and extra 9mm track each side. The extra offset gave me some rather unpleasant handling characteristics that no number of visits to varying garages to get my geometry checked / altered could fix, namely tramlining and torque steer...

No you're not mate, I often forget I've got it and I drive the car every day ;-)
