BMW drivers are excused from this topic.

Bet you wish you hadn't now.

Any beach when the weather's nice! Sure someone on here will suggest a nice one. Breakfast runs would be fun :cool:

Looks orangey to me.

But there once was a valid reason to buy one - they were dirt cheap when new and they had the important bits already included.

There was always the Recaro option for both cars.

Thanks .J.a.m.e.s. - you've added great amusement to this thread for me.

If anyone's on the look out for a nice example of one of these, go take a look at this one. The owner's a good friend of mine and you won't be disappointed. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1551374.htm Plenty more photos here...

Anyone?

EFA. Sorry, couldn't resist - just kidding. It's 182ps by the way, so 180bhp.

Too right! The 20kg saving gives the 182 cup an extra 3bhp per ton over the posh interior light version. T-H-R-E-E!!! How'd you like them apples full fat fanboys?!

The headlining is too far away for me to see in my uber low cup seats ;)

There's no hate for the 182 cups, but I can't recall anyone ever advising someone to buy one. I used to fight in the 182 cup corner, but ever since I found out that the 182ff came with shiney Renaultsport sill strips my arguments aren't valid anymore.

Thirdly, you can't get 16" R26.R wheels.

If it's got anthracite wheels and doen't look like it's been modified it'll probably have the cup pack suspension.

No worries, I'll try to be awake.

Can you get a pic of the underside of the orange anodised part (the larger part that sits under the turret)? I'll compare to mine which was for the AST coilovers which are currently off the car and see if there is any difference.

So when you bought the top mounts you stated they were for OE suspension?

Nitrous oxide - can even tranfer to your next car.

Get black headlights from an older mk2 Clio. Looks nice and tidy.

The 182's with both cup packs are the ones to go for. The 182 cups are next to useless.

7.1 is the official Renault quoted figure. Evo managed 6.5 with their datron (or whatever it is) timing gear.

Re: Whos is this GQ 197? The nicest 197 on here.

EFA. You always get bad ones - it's a shame. My box went after 15k miles, and I drive like a saint.

I don't think they'd be able to see you through the door ;)

And to be fair you've probably only got yourself to blame for the stupidly expensive front splitter.

You should have ripped that A4 bit of paper off the roller door. It ruins the pics!

I bet you're gutted you haven't driven it as intended with that lot to pay for!

I was and I will be, but they won't fit anything but a 182 with cup pack suspension, so unfortunately your 172 cup wouldn't be able to use them if that's what you're thinking.

I don't really have the cash to hit the track anymore and the suspension is just too hard for the road now I can't justify it with track time! I tried softer spring rates, but I've learned you can't do things by halves and they really need revalving to work properly. At the end of the day it...
