Not much more to go on unfortunately. Arctic FF 182 Standard everything or: Inferno 182 Cup Appears to have normal 182 steering wheel Thanks in advance.

Usual lifestyle tips: * Remove all modifcations (if you can bear it. £500 is a lot to insure some £80 lowering springs) * Be as accurate as possible with annual mileage (i.e. insurance companies figure the more you drive, the higher the chance of you needing to claim) * Get a job (likewise...

I think the CS 2013 calendar should be full of forum quotes, not pictures...

LOL. Winter, lower temps, reduced tyre pressure, smaller wheel diameter, CRUNCH. But seriously. That's got to be less than 10mm clearance, and there is about 5mm of useable tread on a new tyre. I.e. total difference in diameter is 10mm, i.e. crunch. Infact really, f*** that. You...

Again thanks for the input. Any idea whether it was Dan Page who hit a deer vaguely recently north of the border? The above is putting me off a bit (just noticed the front bumper of the car in question is missing the black stickers below the grille, and the owner is wanting to get rid after...

Had a search on that username, and some more general terms too, but no luc (Dan Page seems to have owned an RB). Thanks for the hint though.

Thank you for the heads up Danny, very much appreciated. Was there a thread about this? (if you could link me for 100% picture proof that'd be great) Now that you mention it I do recall reading about an AB hitting a deer a week after the poor fella had a load of work done or something.

Just wondered if anyone knew any history behind it/used to own it/see it around etc. Thanks

I don't know how people are still arguing over this when policy booklets exist online... http://www.admiral.com/policyDocs/AD116%200912%20Admiral%20Policy%20Book.pdf The cup packs are a manufacturer optional extra ontop of the base 182. So yes you are supposed to tell them. I reckon I can...

Thread title could so easily be "French electronics =" :p

^^^ LOL. Very nice example that.

It's % difference of circumference that matters in this case (so times difference in diameter by pi, then take a % difference from original circumference) but yes the difference is marginal. Especially when your speedo only does 30mph +0 -3mph by EU law from the factory(IIRC).

It will affect the speedo, but I'm sure if you do some sums you'll find the difference is marginal.

You've managed to make the weather look almost "nice" in those shots haha, I'm sure I wasn't at the same Britcar 24hr as you! I like how you've got across the sheer variety of cars you see, from the Jazz & Clio to the Aston and old 911s. That's nothing :p The GT3 spec cars would have been...

Classic "common problem." They're £12 (each) brand new from Renault. Bumper off, disconnect washer pipe, undo retaining nut, new washer, connect pipe, done. TBH it's been a while since I had my 182 so might be wrong but I have a vague recollection that they only come on when you've got the...

So you didn't even look in the engine bay at all before you bought it...? I'm assuming this was a very cheap/auction purchase? What year/phase/model are we talking? 172/182/197/200 etc? Bonnet catches were recalled on the mk2 RS Clios and replaced for free under warranty, though this was...

Glad you're enjoying it. Hopefully you've bought a decent one and it'll just be cheap fixes for the common issues (heatshield rattle (50p max), washer jets (£24 max), corroded exhaust etc)

Sorry about the "2am spec" grammar & wording in my previous post - it's vaguely legible at least.

The condition of the car and more importantly the motivation behind this project is awe inspiring, a true credit to yourself. Although I'm not familiar with the details and sadly can't access the original thread I think I speak for a lot of car enthusiasts when I say that this seems a very...

Feel free to become a member? :p For all the guides, discounts & knowledge it was the best £12 I spent on my RS Clio. The RS Clios are absolutely fantastic out of the box (the mk2 "cup" suspension in particular seems to have the perfect amount of compliance for B roads) to the point that IMO...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?42-ClioSport-Guides There's a front bumper removal guide with pictures in the guides section. Need to join up properly and pay the £12 membership for access though. I won't bang on about how it'll be the best £12 you'll spend on your Clio.

When talking about Mk2 RS Clios "FF" (Full Fat) specifically means a non-cup 182 (all the extras) that has had the Cup Spoiler Pack and Cup Suspension Pack ticked on the options list. (So yes, his "FF 182" should have both the cup packs)

Convictions/modifications/refused insurance elswhere/unemployed/pay monthly/previous claims/no or low voluntary excess Plenty of reasons why your insurance premium might fall into the "mental" catagory. If you're content with paying 3.2k, why not pay an extra £200 for an RS...

On my fb, at least, WA seems to be falling out of favour. Apparently it's 'fashionable' to ditch it etc. Anyway, the motive behind this is that all my iPhone friends don't need to download anything because they can all already talk to each other with threaded group sms via iOS4's built in...

But you need to persuade everyone to get whatsapp, no?

Anyone successfully using group text messaging on Android? i.e. all replies appear in the same thread so everyone can see everyone's replies etc (like FB group chat or Group MMS on iOS4) I'm open to trying other apps. I'm currently using Go SMS Pro as it claims to do what I want & others on...

Edit: As above, no. A clio DCI worth £700 isn't likely to be reliable.

Three topics/people/projects come to mind: 1) An Eastern European chap on here has built a Super Touring spec Clio (used a Laguna BTCC t-car as a donor) which has a mental amount of GFRP/CFRP aero bolted to it. Bear in mind this is full race spec and therefore comes with the price tag of...

Nothing constructive to add by my own admission, but... Will it be tuned to stage 2.5? /CS never forgets
