The 182 Trophy feels so much livelier compared to a 200. You just feel like you are constantly thrashing the 200 to get the best out of it. The 182's just pick up so early and go and go compared to the 200. As for handling I would say there is very little in it tbh. But then I am comparing a...
Hi Shaun mate, "well done" to you to also mate ;) yes I know mate it was a hard decision selling it but it was getting to the point that I didn't want to drive it in case I got a mark on it - kind of took a little enjoyment out of it if you get me. Plus I wanted something faster :) Selling the...
Awesome motor this one.
I was so close to buying this also. If it wasn't in Scotland and closer to the midlands I would have viewed it and more than likely bought it.
Oh and this car deserves a project thread of its own :wink:
@cpaterson76
So the back bedroom looks like this:
Refurbed steering wheel with yellow stitching
New door card - no dirty ciggy burn.
New handbrake lever - no scuffs :smile:
Oh and the must have with all my cars:
Yes of course I will mate.
Thanks buddy. Yes the price was very good, it was basically the price of a half decent 182 :) and bearing in mind the engine and gearbox will be swapped out.
Bad ain't they!! Can't believe people actually spent extra money to have these as an add on.
And don't...
So now for the project :)
Car was advertised locally on eBay at an ok price so I had a view. Overall the car looked nice except for the passenger side rear arch needed a repair. During test drive I discovered the 4th gear synchro had gone :( Apart from this the car drove lovely. Then I checked...
It's a local Renault specialist mate (I don't want to name names at this point if you get me, just in case it doesn't happen). But he wants to do the conversion and use it as a demo for further business. We are currently looking for a decent R26 - possibly a rear ender write off (cheaper). This...
That would be Junior Mossy (aka Oliver). He has asked me to paint the yellow one green, lol. I kind of get his point :smile:
I can feel your pain regarding bodyshop selection. Front bumper on the vee has been painted 3 times now (blooming stone chips) and can say that the last spray was the...
Thanks :smile:
Thanks Tim mate. Looking forward to Wales already :smile:
Thanks and yes more photos to follow.
Thanks. A long drive, garage and a neighbours garage and a car port, lol.
I want to Meg a 200 but the Alien was just to nice to mess with, hence getting the LY.
Thanks mate...
Thanks mate.
As for the colour, I really wanted a Storm Grey 200 but decent spec ones are £9k plus (if you can find one) where as this cost car cost the same as a decent 182. And tbh I really like liquid yellow and said I would own one at some point.
Yes i got it with a few jobs outstanding...
A quick intro/hello to all.
Basically been a Renault sport fan for a long number of years and therefore owned a lot of renaults (mainly clios). I really like the oem + look, particularly the standard lowered look. I take a lot of pride in all the cars I own.
I have realised I have never...
