Had a Clio 172 cup for a year and a half and loved it, then had a chance to get my hands on a cammed rb 182 for a good price, I'd always wanted an rb and with the cams I thought it would be a nice change, so I bought that and then sold the cup but it never felt as fast as cup did for some reason...

I like them on a rb182 but if the car didn't already have them, like mine doesn't, I wouldn't bother adding them. Also it looks horrific if they go down the bumper as it just screams viper stripe.

Looks nice that.

Maybe it was the lack of cup suspension? As your BG was and this is full fat yet 172 will have the non cup suspension. Just a thought? Glad your happy with this one!

Not sure to be fair mate. Been in a cliosport 2 years now and just thinking about a change, fancy trying something abit different as all I've driven is French hatchbacks haha. But then I think of how much I've spent on this one and how little needs doing to it now and think, why sell haha...

Fair enough. It'll be good to see the progress on here anyhow!

Was a good meet, I've not been to many so it was good to see everyone :).

Sounds like a good plan mate :). You coming to any of the local meets? Be nice to see it in the flesh.

I will be up for some food :). Still meeting at 7?

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, much appreciated :)

To be honest I'm not sure if I want to sell up or not, I quite fancy a DC5 Integra, so I guess I should get an idea of what my car is worth: Clio 182 in Racing Blue 112k with silver Speedline turinis in good condition with brand new Toyo T1r's. It has various mods including: Cat 428 cams Matched...

Looks lovely! A very clean example of an RB, many long term plans, or just enjoying it?

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I've been running the turini's for a year or so now and it looks like I've got some anthracite speedline 2118's coming my way tomorrow for a change so I'll see how they suit for a while :). Yeah it has 15mm hubcentric spacers all round buddy.

I wasn't parked there, just pulled over to take the photos lol

Finally got some standard Renault diamonds to replace the shoddy black ones the previous owner put on so thought I'd give it a clean and get some photos. Enjoy:

Suprised no one has suggested an ep3? I have no personal experience of fiesta st's, but from being passenger in them they feel quite slow. None of these cars are 'fast' but quick enough to be fun although the st's are noticeably slower than 182's or ep3's. I think the 1*2's represent really...

Looks nice. You always seem to find such clean examples of the models you own!

Looks mega clean!

Here is my wheel flake It's an old photo but I still have the wheels :)

Nice looking car and some decent progress! As far as tires go, I've been running Toyo T1R's for the last year and found them to be ok, pretty cheap too but as they are my first set of 'decent' tires I haven't got much to compare too. I'm going to try some Pirelli P Zero Nero's next as I've...

I don't understand how that's oem+? My understanding of oem+ was that you add parts from superior models, so adding leathers into a 172 cup, v6 air box etc? Pretty sure the trend started in vag scene with people putting Audi tt dash and rs4 seats etc into early golf gti's? All that might be...

Forgot to update this, badge is all on now and I'm pretty happy with how it looks.

Oh no, what a time waster! How are you finding the z4, with the weather as it is it must be lovely!

What engine z4 are you going for? Sad to hear this is sold though :(

Cup bought on 91k iirc, kept for year and a half and sold on 103k. 182 bought on 103k 6 months ago, now on 109,700

I've noticed that how dirty the car is effects how the colour looks on rb's a lot more than others. I have a picture of my rb 182 next to a rb 197, the light is directly above the 197 so is fully lit, but mine is in the dark and my car looks a completely different colour lol

Followed me up the m275 onto the m27 then you got off at fareham, anyone off here? Car looked clean!

Epic photos and what a pair of cars!
