Exactly... :cool:

You a Blackburn local then? Hes run at York in the wet and as expected it was just spinning the wheels so no mental times... Look >>> http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/results.pl?date=2005-03-28;car=Y39http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/results.pl?date=2005-03-28;car=Y39

I ran mine in gently as per the Renault recommendations (read the handbook) then gradually built it up and did its first 1/4 mile run at ~1250 miles Always let them warm up fully first, but you can drive them hard and they lap it up.

My Cup was going like a rocket from about 3.5k miles and ran the 1/4 in 14.5secs at that mileage, it got a little better after that but was basically run in from about 6k. 20k is too long unless you never thrash it.

Well youre the first person to ever say that... You prefer it to have 18" rims, lexus lights and a massive spoiler!?

The mk1 aint exactly rare, lots were sold, but there were a hell of a lot more mk2s made, so theyre more common, however in the grand scheme of all things motoring, compared to say a the full Mondeo range, the numbers are tiny.

All those pipes are there for a reason... the turbo... Some are boost, some are oil, most are water. Remember they were styled in the early 80s though, things change, do you think a Clio will not look dated when its 20 years old!?

Err... I wasnt specifically talking about yours mate, I quite like your old one... Just that I personally dont go in for doing much in the way of visual changes on any of my cars though, I prefer subtle styling changes if anything. Like another of my old cars, my 106 GTi >>&gt...

Cheers, thats my 2nd one...

I did it the other way round... Clio 172 Cup to CTR... The Civic is built better, larger/more spacious car, more refined, amazing engine & box, better driving position, better dealers, faster top end, etc... However the Clio is more fun, better steering feel, more nimble, wider power band...

We did this on my mates years & years ago... looks mint, and improves cooling...

You rang... ;) http://members.lycos.co.uk/Pug106GTi/R5GTT/White%20GTT%202.jpg An old pic, has clear indicators and sits on standard rims at the moment. Will be getting sold this summer though... not got the time, money or space for it now! :cry:

LOL

LOL I said bloke not mailto:g@y">g@y ;)

Its a middle aged bloke if its the one I think!?

Err.. arent they the same as the ones on the 172 Cup, minus the yellow 172 bit?

Same here now... you cant link to the images from the uploader on other sites either... So, anyone got pics of the 182 Cup badges then!?

Yeah, whats happened to that!? :sick:

Do they even do "182 Cup" badges!? Thought only the original & best Cup had its own badges... ;) http://www.dzidek.nildram.co.uk/Cars/Renault/Clio/Cup_Badge_Rear.jpg

Well Im from Nelson and I go that way each day...

Theres a silver 182 appeared over near me, in Nelson, might be him?

Doesnt on the Cup as the rear seats are already lightened, theres no spare, etc... but on other cars it does add up to a decent amount of weight saving.

Weighed the bits when I stripped the back of my Cup... Rear Seat (lower) - 5kg Rear Sear (upper) - 10kg Seat Mount Bar - 3kg Jack & toolkit - 4kg Parcel shelf - 1.5kg Boot Carpet - 2kg Total = 25.5kg Makes a whopping 4bhp/tonne difference, so basically fcuk all.

No!

Best thing I ever did was get my car on a track... you can really understand what the cars really about then...

Its the road on the way in/out thats bumpy... Its cheaper than I was told then... Somebody told me it was like £40 to run and £10 to get in or something similar, so effectively twice the price of York.

Not really bothered... the original cover was damaged from new, I waited 8 months for a replacement, so was happy to have any cover...

LOL

Not in the UK AFAIK, but I got a replacement seat cover under warranty and that had "side airbag" written on the top/outer edge!?
