Save the money for a 1.4 or 1.6 next year when you insurance will be cheaper. I wouldnt do power mods to a slower car if you can buy something faster in the first place.
Cheers Dean I'll have a look who's closest in South Yorkshire area. I'd rather buy a car and have it done as then I know it's been done, and done right.
I've been looking at a few cups and one of them needs the cambelt doing. I've already had a search and couldn't find out if the cup needs the AUX belt doing aswell?
I know the cups don't have aircon and that makes the belt change cheaper but I have no idea what an aux belt is?
From my...
Yeah not everywhere can fit them. Another thing the car is so heavy therfor needs stiff sidewalls, there's really only 3 main tyre choices (and one of those is the 888's)
When you put the massive expense to one side it's a fantastic car to drive though. Insanely fast and capable and as mentioned reliability is more of a concern for tuned cars as is usually the case.
I could sit here and also **** it off as it annoys me a car sold on it's on track performance...
A lot of the gearbox troubles at least on the uk cars seem to be solenoids sticking so not a mojor fix. Ok everything on the car is expensive subject to gtr tax.
It's an absolutely awesome car though, with handling to match it's straight line speed.

I had a accident in my Cup a few years ago the naughty side of 90 and my airbags didnt go off either. Didnt need them too really as rear of car took a lot of the impact before i spun into oncoming traffic and hit a taxi.
Now ive got a 182 i would hope if i hit something head on they would go...
I'm picking mine up this tuesday as i just placed a deposit. One thing to look out for is imports and one way of telling is the logbook will not have an engine numer on so check that out.
Cant wait to pick it up i feel 7 years old on christmas eve again!!
Saw the v6 at Renault worksop 2 or 3 days ago, cant forget a plate like that. Was round the back when i pulled up to see if they had any 182's for sale.
I also have had the "expirience" in my 172 cup 2 years ago. Learnt my lesson wont be pushing my luck this time around. Also from expirience i know elephant are good payers i got payed out within a month and they also changed the policy onto my private reg while i was claiming as i forgot to tell...
^^ cheers for the info but all same company and only £200 difference really.
I think the postcode has a lot to do with it as my insurance went up £400 when i moved to this house as it comes as a worksop postcode which is classed as dodgy.
Going to look at a 182 this sunday :)
