Is it really that stiff? Ideally wanting it to have some compliance on the road unlike pretty much all coilovers, the adjsutability of the shocks surely must make it a bit softer to drive normally?

I'm not blind you pillock, just hard to understand retards that cant even string an actual sentance together like yourself. Are you trying to say that it was up for £35k but now its £26k or its worth 10k less than the advert?

You what?

Cheers chap, no it wont morph into the previous Cup im afraid. Got to be comfy with interior now, but will be a very good trackcar once i've finished playing about with the suspension ;) Ah come on guys? ;) At least give me first refusal on these parts! lol

Not a fan i'm afraid. The wheels and the wheel diamonds ruin it completely, silver turinis would look amazing with the standard chrome diamonds inside them.

Underselling that, 182 interiors worth roughly £150-£200 and a 172 Cup interior you can normally pick up for free when people strip their Cups out.

Good update matey, make sure to use the silicon pipe between the throttle body and filter as that extra bit of length on the induction setup will make a difference! ;) Nick

Good progress Joe! Will be keeping an eye on this and what you'll do with the RS-2. Nick

Following on from this... All i'll say is building a car can be fun, however driving the dam things better! Jay Payne and Tony Hunter (Burpspeed guys) both gave me lots of knowledgable advice with regards to racing, if you havent already look at costings per race yet I think you should look...

Iirc BT dont have their own bodyshops, they just subby it out to another bodyshop.

LOL!

Cheers! :) Indeed it is a lot for car for the money, when people say you cant get a much more all round good car for the money you really cant! LOL Indeed it was on the cheap side, having driven yours also Dave I want your suspension setup now! :) Not a chance in hell will I ever own green...

Lol Cheers Chris! I dont mind the wood that much, given the colour of the car it kind of suits it. Its either that or I have no taste! Ha

Right a little update... Gave the Arctic its first quick clean as it was hanging out of its arse, snowfoamed, washed down and snowfoamed again just for good measure! Came out pretty clean, pleased that the paintwork hasnt got too many scratches or dents however the paintworks still rough as a...

Indeed Tony, no worries also! :)

Another little update. Having purchased some wood trim last year for the M3 which was taking out of the car before I purchased it I was going to get it refurbished as it was a little worse for wear. Then last week a fellow off M3Cutters had purchased a new M3 saloon with the exact wood mine...

I'm no walkover... 1. Budgie 2. Nick

Did I say that Danny messed the timing up which affected the power? Well he did in way but it's the consequence of poor timing, not just the timing being out. Also have you been to holland to have your car mapped by Henk? Granted he's done quite a few calibrations for the RS range but they are...

Indeed it is, mapped by Henk in holland and the cambelt was done by Danny before 519 was created which he fucked up. yeecup, got anything clever to say or are you just another gullable cs idiot?

Plus it was poorly mapped and the engine wasn't running 100% either.

I'm all for the RS-2, however my new 182 needs a dephaser so I'll be going with a set of cams as its financially beneficial for me to do so over getting a cambelt done and then buying an RS-2.

Looks nice indeed! Think I remember this car off auto trader, did you have to do a cam belt and dephaser on it?

Columbo and Biriani (spelling) camshafts chap, very peaky cams iirc.

Cheers all, indeed good to be back in a RS! Lol 'Brown Bimmer' you cheeky wotsit! Engine cover came with the car however wasn't fitted, just need to get some new bolts for it and it'll be back on. Cheers Nick

;) Here's my project thread :) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?604144-Finally-got-the-M-Byzanz-Metallic-BMW-E36-M3-Evo-Saloon&highlight=byzanz Cheers Nick

Yeah came with an engine cover but not fitted, will be fitting it once i've given the car a full clean. :) Quite a few plans indeed but hopefully won't look too different from standard when on the road, thats the kind of look i'm going for now rather than trying to stick out. Indeed the M3 is...

I normally despise LY's of any model, yet that Vee has left me oogling at it! Rather attractive!

Collected this yesterday afternoon, needs a good clean and going over but much more fun than my previous daily driver. Project thread here - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?624928-Nick172Cup-s-Arctic-Blue-Clio-182-FF-Comfy-Daily-Trackcar Cheers Nick

So after selling the Cup for spares and using the Audi A3 for a while, been wanting to get back into a Clio for a while now. Not having a massive budget (£2000) i've been looking high and low for something thats in good condition mechanically/specced up/uber cheap for what it is. Sure enough...

Rentech in portsmouth's probably your closest.
