    Thinkin' of doing some trackdays at last-advices?

    I agree with this! I got a set of free used semi slicks on some cheap 15" wheels and they barely showed signs of wear after the day. I also saved my road tyres from wear, so track tyres are a really good long term investment I'd say. Also once you get the hang of sticky rubber it's immense, the...

    Filler survive shotblasting?

    Thinking back I used chemical metal filler, I assume this would be ok then?

    Filler survive shotblasting?

    I'm planning on getting my Turinis powdercoated silver this summer. But I have previously refurbed them myself and had to use filler on parts as they were quite badly kerbed. I emailed Cas Coatings where I was planning on getting them done, and they said: "All your filler would be blasted...

    Silver Turinis

    I'm planning on getting my Turinis refurbed this summer, as my DIY jobbies have started to peel in places. I'm thinking silver as even though the white looks awesome, I've seen a few spotless silver wheels lately and they always look so shiny :o Might seem like a silly question, but what shade...

    New plates on :D

    Looks awesome! I got the same present for my 21st, makes the car for me!

    Best colour for a 200?

    UR or RB but you've already done RB so UR! Does this mean you'll be selling your sportlines separate from your 182? 1st dibs if so!

    The Watering Can Mod - GhettoMod Brake Ducts... Because Race Car!

    This is something I think I'll do, I warped my Brembo HCs on my 1st track day. Because race driver?

    Sam's RB 182 FF

    Added the Bedford Autodrome sticker to the back of the car today, hoping to add a few more along the rear window! Brands Hatch next hopefully! Glad I chose black as it's nice and subtle

    Swedish trackday HD video with a Clio 182

    That's probably my favourite 182 video. Car looks set up so well, looks such a joy to drive! Wish I could start messing with suspension and geometry setup but my limited knowledge/funds and the fact the car is my daily makes me think twice :( Awesome track too!!

    What do you use your Clio for?

    Literally the same as this. Public transport and living in walking distance of everywhere at Uni and home mean it's not especially needed. I use it for fun more than necessity, ironic for me being an environmental student!

    Exhaust Decisions

    It's essentially the same exhaust, same manufacturer as far as I knew. I've got a JP system, a friend has an 'original' Yozza and they're identical

    My New RB Clio 182 FF

    Looks nice! Sits really nicely. IMO I think the original Clio badge or the RS200 RenaultSport badge would look better in place of the ClioSport sticker on the boot.

    'Screaming' noise under acceleration?

    Resurrecting an old thread here but wanted to know if anyone can confirm that I have the same issue? I have a video from my trackday a couple of weeks back, if you skip to 4.20 you can hear a similar noise on the straight. 7_4RPWz8qu4 Just wanted to know if that's a normal Yozza thing or if...

    182 REP?

    Agreed with the comments about save your cash! I'm 21 and wish I hadn't spent the money on modding my previous car. It was a 1.2 Punto, once it looked how I liked it I got bored with the lack of power and then couldn't sell it as quickly as most buyers want a totally original car. So when it...

    Pampered RB182

    Very nice! Pic 3 the stance looks perfect imo

    Light weight / extreme CUP French racing blue no stripes. How many?

    I'm not so sure about that in general, all of the cars I've seen have been fine. And mine doesn't have a single electrical fault and it's just ticked over 80k at 8 years old. I love my cruise control and climate!

    1000'th Post: My New Racing Blue 182 - Progress Thread

    I dropped an engine cover bolt down my bay and found it 3 months later when under the car ha. Your car has just convinced me to get my white Turinis refurbed in silver when I get them professionally done. Car looks stunning!

    What caliper colour on titanium silver?

    I had mine in Focus ST orange, they looked good when freshly painted. But after 2 days they looked dull and crap, I've now painted them satin black and they look much nicer

    Bedford Track Day - 26th March 2012

    Car looked very nice on the day!

    Sam's RB 182 FF

    Yeah I was loving it and the car seemed to be fine with it, the brakes were fantastic all day so I went out a few times! But only in 3 lap stints to prevent any brake issues. Initially I thought yours was a 1.4 with the badges, soon found out it wasn't on the straight! Yeah mate, it was 93 db...

    Pheasants

    They're definitely suicidal, I had one look at me in the grass, then run out into the road in front of me! I swerved around it, had I been doing maybe 10mph more I wouldn't have been able to save the rear and probably spun around!

    Sam's RB 182 FF

    Had a my first taste of a track day today in the Clio, an awesome day! Here's a few pics from the day Here's a terrible quality onboard video! 7_4RPWz8qu4 And a compilation of some trackside ones 2N-Hr5xfpoo Car was fantastic with the semi slicks, really punched above its weight and...

    Lip Shocks?

    Ah ok cheers, so would they be on par with OEM? No point replacing them then since they're probably less than 12 months old

    133mph

    I used to watch the gearbox classes at Kimbolten when I raced karts, the 0-60 was the best part about them! Apart from the top championship level stuff they tend to be have quite a few larger males competing in them though ha! Those who were too heavy for the direct drive stuff!

    RB 182 with stripes LEEDS

    No meets so far as I barely use the car when I'm in Leeds tbh! My life as a 3rd Leeds Uni student consists of go to Uni, go to the library, and then get drunk. None include the car! But now the weather is improving I'd be up for attending meets, I might have to keep an eye open on the Yorkshire...

    Lip Shocks?

    Just wondered since my car has fairly new looking 'Lip' rear shocks, and has done since I bought the car summer of last year, are these shocks considered to be any good by anyone? I'm thinking about investing in some new OEM shocks as I assume these are crap budgets unless someone else has...

    Black 182 in scrap yard

    Boot net looks salvageable!

    RB 182 with stripes LEEDS

    If you mean the reg was SAM 38N then that's my RB! Probably looking very sad for itself as it was in desperate need of a clean!

    Got my first 172 Cup today - couple issues....

    Yeah that's the insulation, mines looking equally as knackered! But looks like yours is hanging off much more. And yeah as said the 4k rattle is your noise. Not the cat, most likely the centre silencer. Replaced my exhaust cat back and it's cured the problem.

    Sneak peak at my new pu.:Rchase.

    The exhaust note on these alone is amazing. I borrowed my cousins for a weekend last year and fell in love with the noise!
