That is fappin cool. Wonder what it tops out at with the NOS firing? It's obviously gonna have been de-limited and remapped etc. Standard ones will do 202 with a de-limit iirc, so whatcha think? 205? 210? Or is 202 the rev limiter...?
I saw on M6 for sale on Pistonheads not long ago...
Welcome - nice car indeed, rare to see a 182 on here without the cup wheels heh!
hrh_ricky - No not necessarily, the spoilers are one pack (lip and rear), the cup suspension/dark wheels/exalto tyres another. Cup spoiler pack, and Cup suspension pack. If you have both together it's apparently...
I see why people buy from dealers etc for the comeback, but if it's 55 (aren't 55 plate 182s a bit rare?) plate as someone said it'll still have a little Renault warranty remaining. But, you pays your money, you takes your choice :) Do you just want to buy from a main Renault dealer, or is any...
It did have bids mate, was over £12k, they obviously ended the auction early to avoid fees - although it wouldn't have incurred any because it didn't meet it's reserve? Either way, it had bids and they've been cancelled heh!

On the 'are all dealers this bad' - My local Renault dealer has been really good, especially since I got the R27, informing me of things that they could do under warranty that I wouldn't have noticed etc.
But for the bad ones, it's not just Renault either, one of my mates has had some crackin...
Well, it won't be 'as good' as the coils - but then as you say it;s what are they, £150 vs £1000 heh.
IME the newer a car is, the better is takes springs alone heh. I mean like, the newer the model - as the other modern tech parts seem to be able to compensate for the lower/stiffer springs...
Doesn't even make any sense does it? The VTR isn't really much slower in real world 'play' situations anyway IMHO. My mates used to hang onto a local VTS - but to be fair, the VTR was a pampered minter, with a full system/induction setupl, and the VTS looked a bit abused and was owned by...
Oops sorry dude I didn't realise it was yours! Please accept my apologies :) I'd have been a lot more polite and diplomatic had I known. Obviously it's not up to me to say it's awful, as it's your car and if you like it that's all that matters of course! It's not my car or money so my opinion...
I've just done that choice mate hehe :) In the end chose the R27 as the Focus just wasn't for me, I LOVED the look, but I didn't like the interior or the drive very much - although I freely admit that I would've got used to the way the diff felt having never had a car with an LSD before...
That's a beauty :) Doesn't stand out like the white, but it looks awesome when clean like that. I reckon I'd have black you know looking at that...

If they didn't have that red blob in the middle of the clear bit, they'd be so close to standard most people wouldn't tell the difference heh! But, as they are, I'm a 'no' as well dude. That red blob just ruins them!
Hmmm, not necessarily, might have been a bit of a dreamer, or might have got a shock when he saw parts/service prices (thinking about the cambelt - and clutch if he's tracking it - especially with the Mk2 clutch been a lot weaker than the Mk1). But Bayliss and his mate, and that guy with the...
Yea do it - I think the Vee is one of those cars that everyone should own for a little while hehe :) You certainly won't regret it - there's nothing quite like the experience of that ownership, especially not for few such coins.
I miss mine - but know in my situation, it was the only option...
Nah it won't be a Cat D, it's obviously not that type of dealers 'usual' stock, and it's holding a lot of capital for them - which as a small time place isn't the best - so they'll want shot of it quickly.
Aye, had my mark one a year, only lost a very small amount on it as it was a minter. That one linked is very cheap, the market for Vee's was starting to scare me when I sold mine, moreso for Mk1s which are starting to get very cheap. Think I sold mine at the right time, as I still managed to...
Hugely cheap for a black gold Ph2, and it's a low miler! The market for Vee's was starting to scare me, quite happy I managed to shift mine for top dollar when I did...
Awesome dude :) I lost my ring virginity just shy of two weeks ago, on the 24th of June. It's just epic isn't it.
Is the accomodation you speak of the Hotel an der Nordschleife? We stayed there, in one of the 3 bed apartments - 135euro a night split 3 ways isn't bad is it? An Eddie is a...
Heh, my mate is a regular on AstraSport - AstraChavs did these aaaaaaaages ago - get with the times man ;) Personally I think they're hideous...
In seriousness, if you like them, why not eh :) It's your car, we don't have to drive it!
I had them on my V6 hehe ;) In all seriousness though, there are a couple of clios I've seen with them, or replicas - and I'm not a fan, I don't think the design suits the non-V6 Clios. That's just IMHO of course.
Re: cup weight saveing
1kg may not be much, but if you can find 10 little 1kg weight savings, that's 10kg! That's getting on towards 2stone! It all adds up :)
