Evening Huw... ;) Another 306 Rallye owner turning to the darkside! :cool:

Are we confusign Artic Blue & Racing Blue here?! There is a shiny new 182 at my work in Arctic Blue and its so damn close to the colour of my Cup I thought it was one at first...

Well I got well over £2k off mine (Cup) and that was from a Renault dealer...

Not really... It wouldnt bother me!

Just been across to the bank at work and spotted what I thought was another Cup on site, but as I get closer I notice something aint the same... Yup, a shiny new Arctic Blue 182 (no Cup options though) sat in my works car park and its the first one Ive actually seen in the flesh! Looks good...

Holy cow... From Clio hater to Clio lover! ;) Bet youre glad your 206-180 never arrived.

I knew they did... So what offset are 182 wheels then?!

Really?! Well there is definately 3 of castor on a proper Cup! ;)

Think youd be mad not to get the Cup options...

Yes it does... theres 3 castor with the Cup suspension!

Its a bit of a grey area really, but if it left the factory like that then its not been "modified" as such, it was built that way!

Well I aint family and I got one... ;)

Ok, so how come a turbocharged engine has more torque than a norally aspirated engine, but they could both have the same power?! Also VTEC kinda f*cks this theory up as you get loads of power, but lower torque... I just cannot see how they are directly related!

The K-Tec ones are pretty good apparently... Its someone elses pad with their name on it!

Just get any old wheel & tyre that will fit mate, something like a steeley off a lower model or ideally a space saver will do, as it wont weigh much...

Yeah, I popped into the Total garage round the corner from me on Friday and they aint got Super either... :cry: Luckily there is a Shell station next to work!

So how does this work with diesels then?! They have a lot of torque, but not much power compared to a petrol equivelent...

The discount is off the list price of the car (& any options), but you take the price without VAT, remove the % discount, add the VAT back on and thats what you pay... Not sure on the current rate, it was 18% when I got my Cup, but its been at 22%, so you need to check!

LOL ;)

Theres some independant research kicking about as well... They cannot legally claim for it to be 98+ and for it not to be though can they!

Because it is... <A name=6>What is the Octane level of Shell Optimax? Shell Optimax has the highest octane specification of any petrol available on UK forecourts. It is greater than 98 Research Octane Number (RON). Thats from the Shell website, and basically Optimax...

Do a search for "Group N ECU" and R-Sport ECU" mate (theyre theyre tha same thing) as theres a lot of stuff on here.... In a nutshell, yes its worth doing!

Must be the older style pipe you have?! Mine is the wire supported stuff with the black plastic/rubber coated cloth tubing and theres no way it could collapse!

Yeah... might ask how much for a 182 next time I see him! :D

The Cup suspension pack does lower the car, but only by 3mm apparently, so visually there is not gonna be any difference! However, you will NOT need to declare this to the insurance as its standard factory fit items, not aftermarket stuff...

Mike - Renault do all the bits you need... ;) Captain Slarty had various engines & turbos kicking about, and 4 full kits were available, but so far nobody has ever fitted one! My mate bought one for his Cup, but has since sold the car and its just sat there doing nowt, so it could be a...

Yup, I only paid £10,697 for a brand new Cup from a UK main dealer! ;)

Aye, no engine cover...

Jesus... where do people get their info?! BP Ultimate is definately only 97 RON, read &gt;&gt;&gt; http://subsites.bp.com/ultimate/uk/petrol/default.asphttp://subsites.bp.com/ultimate/uk/petrol/default.asp Shell Optimax is 98+, Total is 98, Esso is 97, etc... there is nothing higher than...

Oh really... ;) Is it in good nick?! What money you wanting?! Our lasss RT might be needing an exhaust soon.
