    Quick vid of me powering through mountain

    The quality isnt brill as was done on my digital camera, dont think it really gives the impression of speed much. Done on a mountain b road in north wales as a short cut, was amazing and cant believe how much the car comes alive in your hands on this territory. I officially hate living in...

    Where does the extra power come from on 197

    As per post title. The obvious changes I can see are the inlet manifold is very smooth, by looking at the cutaway from the British Motorshow, and they have probably altered the map on the ecu against the 182. Is the 197 producing 158 lb/ft of torque now?

    Carbon Silver Dash Inserts

    Which clios came with carbon silver dash inserts? The reason I ask is that my standard ones on my 182 have flaked slightly and I have just purchased some off ebay. I was under the assumption that all RS models came with just a brushed aluminium finish...

    Fitted K&N Panel Filter

    Over the weekend I fitted a panel filter to my 05 182. After fitting I would say there is no real difference in the performance of the car. The only difference noticable I would say is a slightly deeper induction growl between 3-4k rpm and sharper throttle response at high rpm in 4th and...

    Yay

    For those of you that remember, I was hit into a month ago by an uninsured driver. After waiting 2 1/2 weeks for my car to come out of the body shop she looks all spangly and sparkly. The piece de resistance? A letter from Elephant came through today saying that my NCD has not been affected...

    Getting Anxious

    I gave my car into one of Elephants approved repairers (FJ Cipa panelcraft in Seven Kings, Essex) last week Monday to get the damage sorted that an uninsured driver caused and they are taking f**king ages to get the car done. On dropping the car off the guy said it would be ready the same week...

    My Black Gold Beauty

    After 3 months of Full Fat 182 ownership here are my first pics at long last. Unfortunately, my old man is on holiday with my Canon camera, so my Ericsson W800i had to suffice (hence the crappy dusk photos). Will post some better night time ones soon that show off the crisp light emitted by...

    Renault UK Cust Services Excellent

    Had an issue with my local dealership (Renault Ilford). Bought a 182 a few months back and because they wouldnt drop the price to what I wanted, I thought outside the box (as you can refund this within 14 days with no need to give a reason as it is an FSA regulated product) and got them to...

    Michelin Exalto Replacement

    Im due a new tyre on my front nearside, looking on Blackcircles .com and they are saying £86 for one tyre. Not bad. What I wanted to know is that the tyres they are selling, are they the same as the ones that Renault would supply? I was under the understanding that the tyres on the 182 were...

    I Have the power!!!

    Finally picked up my black gold 182 today and am about to go for a cruise with my mate in his nighthawk black ctr! The car is lush, a bit of a rattle from the exhaust but im not bothered, all a part of the character I reckon, otherwise I would have gone for a brand that is renowned for build...
