End of an era. The Cup went to it's new owner today ?
Thanks to everyone who's offered advice and information on here, and I've made a few friends along the way! Been an epic car to own and will certainly find myself in another one in the future.

Surely stud and nut conversion can be almost the last thing to be done? Shouldn't hold up progress, I assume it's just using normal wheel bolts at the moment?
Sadly my Cup is up for sale. Would love it to go back to someone on this forum who'll look after it and hopefully keep everyone updated on it!

Any questions, feel free to PM me.
Cheers, James
Cheers, I Did a ski season there in 2016/17 and been wanting to go back ever since, it's a beautiful country and definitely worth a visit when you get the chance!
Thanks. Looking to take a break from the endless money pits that are cars. I'm going to Canada next month to work in the mountain bike parks.
Will certainly be back in a Clio again once I'm back
The beginning of the end.
The Cup will be up for sale very shorty, so I am slowly taking it back to standard ready for the next owner. Bit of a shame because in it's current form the setup was absolutely spot on. Everything just came together perfectly to make a truly awesome little car...
Recently went back to standard air filter after running a KTEC induction for a few months, it may just be the 'placebo' affect but I'm sure it feels a little slower now...
Maybe it's just because there's so much less drama without the noise.
My friend had one of these, unbelievable cars! I think it was mapped as well. I was pretty jealous every time I sat in it to be honest, with the DSG box the acceleration just pins you back into your seat like no car I've been in.
He had a full custom decat fitted to his and it sounded...
That really sucks mate. What sort of person does something like that? The crash might have been an honest mistake but to drive off....
If that happened to me I'd give anything to get my hands on the perpetrator
They're by no means self-claimed Renault specialists, but from the work I've seen them do, I'd have thought they could do a belt change with their eyes shut.
They fitted my cage, satchshift (same as PMS shifter) and did some re-wiring to my 106 GTi a couple of years ago.
They had also built a...
Mick is deffo the go-to guy, but on the other hand, he's always super busy so you'll need to book well (weeks) in advance.
Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield are a good alternative, really good guys there and their work is top notch.
Welcome mate. Yeah the car is well known here. You've got yourself a super clean 182 there.
Here's his old project thread if you've not already seen it (I'm hoping it was sold honestly)

Fair enough mate. Was just double checking.
@GrahamS is currently building a 172/182 replica down to pretty much the last nut and bolt if you want any inspiration, check his project blogs.
Are you a young driver?
If you're currently unable to afford a faster/sportier car, you're probably unable to afford the insurance on a modified car? When I was 18, just adding something simple like lowering springs almost doubled my insurance as 9/10 companies wouldn't insure me for a...
