Frankly your a class one fruitcake, your spending over £20k+ (once repayments have been made) on a Clio which is a rubbish base for a modded car, why not buy a 172 or a cheap Mk1 V6 and tune that, easier route to 500bhp. If your doing up your 1.4 your gonna need to spend a fortune of suspension...

I've been reading this thread, and I'm really sorry your car was stolen. A Tracker is certainly the way forward, it won't reduce your premium (according to the 2 insurance companies I spoke to) but it will mean your car is recovered, before it dismantled.

Blimey! My first car was a brown 1979 Mini 1000.

Good luck claiming, I just hope for your sake the guy who crashed into you hasn't found this site.

Bedford, u?

I'm almost certain they'll fit, but I'm sure someone on here will know for certain. As for the cost, I'm open to offers.

I want to get rid of the seats in my Cup but don't fancy spending £1200 on some Treadlines, are the seats in the V6 any good? or can anyone recommend as suitable replacement, I did try Cobra Monaco's but found them too hardcore. Also how much would my existing seats be worth given that there...

Don't bother, I put some in my Cup. When to France for a day of 'high speed test' and my @rse hurt for a week afterwards. But if you still do, then I've still got the subframes if you want to do a deal.

They had a Trophy going dirt cheap too.

Highest V6 Lowest 1.2

I've got a 182 Cup and I'm tired of the standard bargin basement seats. I'm hoping Cliospares have a half leather rear bench, but I'm unsure what to do with the front, I'm really tempted by the Trohpy Treadline seat, or should I just get some standard 182 half leather jobbies?

Peak power is at 6500 isn't it?

I considered doing the same 3 months ago, then I spoke to a V6 owner who outlined the real cost of running a V6, and to be honest it isn't worth it, unless the vee is your second car.

I hit the limiter in 5th once.

I think the 197 looks like a squashed Meggy, I'll be waiting for a Cup version.

Driver must have been asleep (or just passed his test), as thoughs jags are rapid.

Just got my renewal form though from Admiral, they wanted £681 when I paid £711 last year. When on the net a few ago and got a quote from Elephant of £520. Called admiral to see if they could match my Elephant quote, they could only get down to £600. So i called Elephant and guess what, its a...

To be honest, it does seems strange that some people do have cars which basically live with the dealers and others have had 40k+ miles of no hassles at all. Maybe down to driving styles? Just seems very odd.

Had mine from new (1 year ago) and the temperature sensor broken after 3k, but thats it, it's done 11k now and feels like it needs a service. Every good overall.

Looks like a snowplow.

I'd declare, insurance men aren't stupid anything to get them off paying out, even if the wheels are a different colour.

Yep, always black. Shows everything up!

I'm with Admiral, but changing to elephant as their £150 cheaper!

That'll be me, 'only striped 182 in the village'

Cheers Guys After a bit of messing about I've got it sorted, but to be honest it'll probably fall off soon, as they don't seem that strong and the mounting points do feel weak. Many thanks!

After a few balls ups with my 182 Cup I'm (hopefully) going to collect a new splitter from my local dealer tonight, I've noticed on the bottom of the bumper there is a row of bolts, which hopefully just undo and I just attach the splitter and tighten the bolts up again. Can anyone confirm this...

R19Cup: yes, its was me the mad cyclist waving at a blue 172.

Acid yellow 182 spotted in Wotton Blue 182 Cup spotted on the Bedford bypass heading towards MK. Any takers?
