And the 182 Cup wheel is seriously fugly. If the 182 Cup wheel was your stepchild you'd beat it like it was ginger. I have to say that the fact you can't adjust the reach of the steering wheel pisses me off more than it's size.

Yup all of that... weight of the gas too lol all adds up.

I'd say about 20kg for the whole lot, which is about the single biggest piece of weight loss from the car.... then you've got the load on the engine, and the extra 1's and 0's in the ECU to control it too. :clown: It does defeat the object a little, but is Ok for people who aren't quite...

Superb results dude. Has he got a website?

I think you should race him ;)

Ben R? He had a ph2 172 iirc..... And he can't drive ;) EDIT - Added by BenR22 ;)

That's f**king ace. Mk1's are cool.

In that case, and it's nothing personal, I'm glad I'm not one of your mates. lol.

No, It's actually 200PS. For some reason they have gone from using PS(172/182/255 etc) to using BHP (197). So it's actually cracked the 100PS/Litre barrier which is pretty impressive for an N/A engine. Although whether any of them actually make 197 bhp is another matter. lol.

I sold mine to a mate for £50. They tend to go for £70+ on ebay. I even put a brand new cover on it too. Mates rates eh?!

I couldn't find one in halfords either - mine's split. Will need a new one eventually as it's (gulp) first MOT time soon!

Well worth it. If only to see Brazo's sweet face ;)

I'm only pulling his chain. He's just bitter because he built a PC that doesn't work ;)

Yes, but that would instantly turn you into an uber geek who wanks over the speed of his cooling fans and gets all flustered when the thing breaks ;)

Can somebody translate this thread into English? ;)

The Spoiler is (or at least was) about £180 unpainted with a brake light and the splitter is £130 new from Renault iirc.

I use a wacom one - Although it was £50. lol. Certainly much easier to be accurate than with a mouse. It's pressure sensitive and all that shizzle - And you can turn the pen upside down and use the top as an eraser. lol.

Nice one Lee... the way you describe the handling reminds me of my old 306. What we're dealing with here is an entirely different kettle of fish compared to previous Clios. I think Mark Cup has hit the nail on the head - This is the first in a long line of RS's and there's no denying...

Bespoke tyres.... Are Renault still spouting that drivel? I guess they must be, and I guess some people are still buying it... Remember when the 182 had bespoke tyres? LMFAO! And I want 'Elf' and 'F1' to breathe on my engine.... Did you know that Williams handcrafted each and every Clio...

Get a Cup if you're going to track it. It's already lighter, has brakes set up for track work, no ABS, better gearing...... Makes more sense imho.

It's horses for courses at the end of the day. My FF 172 owning friend uses a race prepped caterham for his weekend blasts - So people would inccorectly make the assumption that he's a bit soft if they saw him in his 172. Obviously a Caterham isn't as 'hardcore' as a Cup though....:rolleyes...

Funny to read about peoples thoughts on non-cupped 182's. I feel exactly the same. Why wouldn't you get the Cup packs>?! lol Either an import or a gay driver. In fact just gay. lol.

Not everyone. ;)

LMAO My god. You're a f**king genius. Your powers of observation are second to none. :rolleyes:

Sorry mate - Group N has now gone due to it not controlling my Cruise Control. Didn't seem to control my climate correctly either - Could hear compressor clicking in and out. Now back to normal with standard ECU. The group N I had was supplied by Renault and not a reflash by a third party...

Well mt Stock ECU is the same as the one on the left. And the Group N I had fitted looks like the one on the right. lol.

Will have a look tomorrow mate. Ale is calling.

Yes mate, full fat.

My ECU is identical to the one on the LEFT. (late 2003 172)

Put a crack in your windscreen. Pay the £50 or whatever to your insurance and ask the windscreen company for a Clio 172 Cup windscreen. Thinner so lighter and no UV protection so you can get a signal on your sat nav without an aerial. lol.
