Jesus - some people have no standards!

A quick google search about people's experiences with cheap universal spacers will give you all the answers you need.

If I were you - I'd save your pennies!

Probably made of cheese.

Well - the recaros and turinis are purely an athestic thing. I for one think the standard sports seat and cup wheels look better. (but I am biased :P) Also - cup packed suspension is better for road use imo and I certainly won't be getting coilovers.

Money is something to compare them by certainly - IMO the trophy is not worth the premium over a FF182 for road use (which lets face it, is how most of these cars are used) As such - I would say that it isn't much better

Where are you based?

He seems fairly confident that the cruise control will still work - but not the trip computer..

I 'think' that's what Chris @ EFI suggested to me and is probably the route I will take to be honest.

Thanks for the comments guys. I am sure I'll be asking you lots of questions! Fingers crossed. The gen90 would allow me to keep cruise but I am hoping to be able to keep the cars standard features with the adaptronic ecu. The ultimate aim is to keep the car looking as oem as possible.

How much! What a shed

Both are lovely cars. It would be great to hear the pros and cons of reverting to an older generation Renaultsport.

^ that's exactly what I was thinking!

Hmmm, the discussions I have read on this forum suggest otherwise. Surely if 'lap' part of the standard belt is fed through the side holes in the seat you would have the same hip/lap support as you would on a regular seat?

With harnesses wouldn't I need a cage?

Does anyone else have any input about this?

I just butchered the circuit boards on the standard cruise control set up and inline soldered the original circuit resistors :D works perfectly!

George's turbo 182 project. I have owned my FF 182 for over 3 years now, I purchased it as a 40k mile - full service history car and it was in pretty good condition for its age. Initially the plan was to keep it completely standard and up until now I have done reasonably well! Firstly...

:( That's terrible news.

Nope

What the hell is that??

I haven't seen that around....

That means the oil level is low. You don't need to do a service, just put some more in!

Love this car.

I am very nearly ready to start the build - just need some advice on a couple more bits. Would a phase 1 cable throttle set up be beneficial in any way? Also - as far as aftermarket management goes : what features would I loose if I didn't use the gen90 (I have a ff182) and are there other...

What other options are there in terms of retaining cruise control etc etc? Because ktec seem like a pain in the ass frankly

Nice write up! Looks like it was a great trip. I need to do this soon...

It looks like the bonnet alarm sensor.
