It's always the quiet ones Scott #darkhorse

My old 850R bought back in 2009, manual, a box ticker. Only had it for a couple of months but the fuel bills were horrendous. Had it mapped at HLM in Bromsgrove to 280bhp and 300ft/lbs

Meg Trophy doesn't have the same kudos as the R

I'm surprised it wasn't std in the Trophy

Haha yeah that was a second property owned by my landlady which she sold a few months ago, a shame as I lost the parking space otherwise I'd have the Clio there. You still own the 182? Have to meet up sometime, I use the Clio on the weekends and on the lookout to rent a garage.

Erm.... Maybe lol, I'm the same person that owned the supercharged Petrol Blue 182

It's an R, end of. You can buy all the R26's in the world to then replicate it..... But that's it... It'll be a replica. This people is the REAL deal

The Mk4 is a completely different car, in many ways to the older generation Clios. It's gone turbo, result, easier power gains and pound for pound against N/A much cheaper. If you don't like the look or the fact it has rear doors, oh well. I don't know the ins and outs (although economics...

Yeah of course, I'll probably set up a project thread as a progression log so everything's in one place. Definitely worth a decent test drive out to try the RS mode and the paddles.

To which a well known mapper bought it and tried it on their Trophy.... With worse than stock figures..

Was gonna say I didn't think the true was that high std. And as it stands there still isn't a map ready for the Trophy.

It's been delayed till this Saturday (Renaults fault) £48 but due to their negligence I'm not paying that price.

I'm not fussed, it was my choice to have it done.

No probs, all I said to them was there was an upgrade to the software to which they confirmed. As its not a fault or recall I had to pay which was fine by me.

I was told there was a definite upgrade so I spoke to the service department when I was there ordering the RS mats. Yep booked a convenient appointment there and then.

Yeah, I assume they just upload the latest transmission software for the 200 EDC to the gearbox ECU.

The only thing I can see being slightly wearing is having to do the belts every time you get in and out. Other than that it will be absolutely fine as a daily, I imagine the OP has driven and owned an array of cars in varying states of tune over the years and would be used to slightly stiffer...

Cheers mate, coming from you with the Spec C that means a lot.

New RenaultSport mats fitted today, couple of interior shots.

Thank you, yeah I had the Cooksports fitted a week before Christmas. They've settled really nicely now

Cheers Mark, appreciate the positive comments. An early start this morning and it was a clear sky, it's always nice where I live to take photos.

The other difference albeit not engine related is phase 1 being cable throttle body and 182 being fly by wire.

Really happy with how it all is, tomorrow it's booked in with Renault to have the gearbox software updated

Thank you, yeah in my opinion it just doesn't make sense how they sit in their original position. The Cup springs drop my 3mm, as soon as I bought the Clio I knew it had to go on Cooksports.

I'm glad I kept the originals!

Settling quite nicely
