Bloody Renault exhausts are crap. I'm definitely getting new hangers, and I'll look more into the cat. Don't fancy throwing away £200+ on a cat if it's not needed obviously. I have a list of issues to sort on mine, many heat shields seem to be barely hanging on ha. The RS192's look very nice, I...

Funnily enough my dad is a mechanic but he's very busy with work at the moment (everyone's cars are breaking down lol) and I'm working over Christmas so a new system isn't out of my budget. I just wanted to see if I could determine the likely problem, but yeah I agree the cat shouldn't be the...

I was thinking that, but would a sports cat like the KTec one for example be worth it?

My exhaust has been blowing for some time, and I was planning on getting a Yozza straight away but now I'm waiting for the new system that's coming out next year. Just today I was driving the car and noticed the blowing has become much louder, as well as the section immediately below the gear...

Sat in the office facing the A505 I noticed a RB 182 pass over the bridge that goes over Kingsway. Think I noticed a for sale sign in the rear passenger window too. I'm currently working in Luton everyday for my placement with Bam Nuttal so I'm part of the cause for all the road works around Luton!

Anyone have any advice? So I can get ordering parts before I go home for xmas

I've managed to sort myself a cheeky placement over Christmas while I'm off Uni, that pays very generously. So I thought I sort out the small issues with my car once I get paid. The blowing exhaust is to be replaced with one of BTM's new systems start of next year hopefully. But I have the...

Satin blacked mine about 4 months ago and still look like new

I may have been the RB, I was heading North towards Blackburn. I've got white Turini's if that's what you saw?

To be honest from what I've seen your RB was stunning! But my car is a daily so if I do change the setup I'll probs just stick a set of Eibachs on.

Took the 182 for a quick spin on some country roads near me end of last week, these roads are Newall Carr road and the ones it leads onto just North of Otley if anyone is interested. Awesome and not busy at all. Wasn't pushing hard at all due to greasy conditions and not knowing the roads too...

I've got the Mazda MPS one and it's as good as OEM signal on mine

Just looked up how to figure out the height using the aspect ratio, if I've got it right my tyres are about 9.75mm taller than a 195/50 tyre. I'm guessing that'll be fine, if I was a serious racer it would probably go against handling but for a track day should be cool

Ah didn't know that, didn't even think about size just assumed mm ha. Thanks for that, that's a big amount of money saved for my 1st track day then!

Not sure of the tyre name but they're Dunlops, used in the Mini Championship

I know that the preferred size of tyre on a 15" wheel is 195/50, but I've come across some track rubber for free but they're 195/55. Just wondering if that's ok? I assume the 5mm shouldn't cause any issues but just checking? Cheers

Looks spot on! What suspension set up do you have? Seems to be sitting nicely

I think my car is a good example of what you might be looking for (not that it's for sale ha). My RB had 75000 miles on it when I got it early summer, and it was bog standard and in immacualte condition. I paid £3500 for it, have covered close to 3000 miles in it, driven it pretty hard every so...

Ok cool thanks for that! Just curious now, would a 15" wheel that is et38 still sit as far out in the arch as a 16" wheel with et38? My current Turini's are et38.5 iirc so these 15" valver wheels should sit the same in the arch?

Just bought a set of valver wheels for pretty cheap, they're identical to these but in the original silver: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?608460-Valver-wheels-(not-turbines)-centre-hub-caps-what-can-I-use&highlight=16v+wheels Just wondering, since I'm planning on using them...

Someone on here recently said it's been proven to reduce cooling due to drag/turbulance caused!

Sliver mk2 Clio with a CS sticker in the rear window, parked opposite Popinas. Walked past it on my way into Uni and noticed the CS sticker, I live literally 2 minutes away from there

I barely do 4000 miles a year while I'm at Uni! Only use the car for fun twice a week max. It's easier to walk everywhere I go in Leeds. Will go up when I graduate next year though, but I almost definitely won't exceed 10k a year. My car's on 77k at the mo so it'll creep up very slowly while...

Very nice! Good choice of colour! The front grill is looking like mine was when I got it, I'd give it a coat or 2 of satin black as it's looking grey. Transformed the front end on mine

Gutted for you mate but at least you'll have her back on the road soon! Excuse to get Turini's?!

Looks good mate! I would say keep these Cup wheels anthracite as I think they don't suit white so much. Get some Turini's and do them white :p

Yeah it's fine at Uni for me, it's a luxury rather than a neccessity in Leeds tbh, I can walk everywhere but I occasionally fancy a drive! I drove back home (London) from Leeds on thursday, which is a 200mile trip, and I got 40mpg average and it cost me about £28 in fuel (V Power not the cheap...

182 for sure, in another league to the ST IMO. My friend's ST feels so much more tame than my 182. The 182 to me is pure fun! And despite being a poor student myself, the best decision I've made whilst at Uni is buying the 182. I find myself going out for drives, with no destination, just out in...

After this few I'm not gonna keep adding pics to this thread as they're all the same! I need to get some action pics next! But cleaned the car quickly today, so took a couple of snaps: Bog standard interior barring the orange tree and head unit. Think it'll be staying that way unles I get...

Refurb your Turini's white to match the stripes. I was almost thinking about adding stripes to mine. I can't be arsed now but I think it'd look good with white wheels
