Was a cracking day, Foxy hope you don't mind If I add some pics to this thread instead of starting a new one, there are a few mk1s getting overtaken if it helps :rasp:

This will happen if they are not correctly seated and you don't give the hub a good wire brushing before fitting them.

& why not :D

lovely car! love the work with the cat, 182's have high flow cats so you will better gains de-catting a 172 in theory, I'd defineatly think about adjusting my cat like yours in the future if needed! it's not a cup racer btw ;)

love your car chap :cool: Black is the sex

Re: My 182, six months of ownership in words and pics you better get some insurance then :quiet: ;)

Re: My 182, six months of ownership in words and pics Just take your time fella and definitely get some instruction if you can, makes a world of difference especially on a very technical track such as brands! When I first got to Brands in the morning and saw paddock hill I was pretty...

lol @ Tony, I did the same with a Wispa bar when he got some measurements on the Recaro subframes for me, I sent them too!!

yeah, imaginary people normally are ;)

should have kicked the "passenger taking the pictures" out mate, you would have had even better mpg then ;):rasp:

Re: My 182, six months of ownership in words and pics *update - first track outing!* Finally yesterday I got the 182 out on the track, and to say I enjoyed it would be an understatement! The RenaultSport Day was held at Brands Hatch, turning out to be cool and largely dry apart from a damp...

crazy slovaks lol

Bit of a plonker for not HPI'ing a car before buying tbh, its only £10ish with the RAC - its one of the most basic things you should do when looking to buy I would have thought?

leverage is what you need as they are heavy gauge threads done up tight for obvious reasons! (assuming you are talking about the shock to hub bolts?) You need a breaker bar, or a pipe on the end of a socket to attain the leverage to undo them.

Too answer the question on Jays behalf, its a custom Powerflow system which is probably one of the best put together systems I am yet to lay eyes on, incredibly small (so potentially very light) although not especially loud & with hi-flow silencers & a silenced decat. The pics Jay has taken...

Interesting, I found a full new set of the Khumos for £160 delivered which I can't really say no to tbh, however think I'll leave them off for tmrw ;)

Are the Khumos a predominately dry Tyre? How do they handle the damp - Inferno you ran them shortly didn't you?

not very subtle chap. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=421556 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=421291

Not only is this ball-achingly obvious it's also not necessarily a positive, all of the meggys I have been, in even one with ECU/intercoller work where a lot quicker in a straight line that the Clio, but lacked the element of raw, involving luncay that my 182 has, especially in the bends. Its...

Spot on. What are the green glowing horn things on the wings??

Sex:) Man I've got so much to do for Wednesday!

My long term goal is to have a day to day mile muncher, diesel something or other with a towbar & soft seats ;) as I do around 40k+ a year and have a cup racer as a little mechanical project/weekend toy/money pit. I'd love to leave the silly driving for the track as my experience grows and do...

Thanks for all the info fellas, really helpful. Its something that I am toying with for the future one day, just wanted to see how you would go about picking one up/where. Fred, a car being post championship - what sort of millage do they clock up/hours operation. Will the cars that competed be...

sh!t i want one..

Just looking for some general info on the clio cup race cars. When the Clio Cup Series move onto a new generation of cars, what happens/where do they sell the old race cars? When (if) they sell them does Renault carry on supporting an owner/provide a post dated parts catalogue? I understand...

mmm probably a good shout chap, I might pop down and do the same @ Slough & take it for a drive.

"sac" mmm I like that! :rasp: Alan; herding the strays back to the flock since 2004

agreed. Bit like the green,yellow,orange,rainbow,glow in the dark badges :dead:

new RS badge = lovely Is the car used on a track daily or even at all? If not toweye & sticker are a big no no tbh.

Its a carbon canister, to do with engine emissions. Effectively adsorbs fuel vapors. Ticking is totally normal as it has a solenoid in it. Sounds like it might be packing up or the sensor in it needs replacing.
