Ramair do a million-and-one different filter sizes, so you might be able to find something similar from them. Loads on eBay in their shop.

Aren't Ktec filters just Ramair anyway?

Or buy this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Sport-172-and-182-Induction-Silicone-Hose-Kit/152585261460?hash=item2386ca5194:m:mojIqVWCLNHmFlWe4f0Ulpg The Fatty kit looks better than the Ktec one in my view. The long bendy silicone hose just looks really ungainly and unprofessional I...

It's a good choice to be honest. The Megane will offer greater thrills, but the Golf will be 90% as fun while being 10x better at the daily stuff. The Civic is just outclassed in this company in my view. A nice car, but ragging the pants off it to get it to move is precisely the opposite of what...

I would think they're fine. Just buy a good one and make sure you get some rust protection on it. There are plenty out there to choose from, so should be possible to buy a solid one, surely? As a daily, it would probably be my top choice to be honest. Not as exciting as the Ford or the Renault...

Storm grey is such a cool colour on these.

For those looking in the £7-8k category, a Meg 250 is surely going to be the car to have in the coming years. Not too many in that price bracket yet, but getting there now. Quality is a big step-up from the MK2 and a brilliant drive. As standard, the Megane doesn't sound great, but a mid box...

Those Seats are good value, but god are they ugly. The A4 of that era is a nice looking car, but the Seat is a disaster. It totally put me off them. A friend of mine has a 130i. It's quite nice to be honest. Not very big inside at all, but it feels quite quirky with the big engine and RWD...

These get cheaper and cheaper and just look better and better value. So much car for the money.

Looks nice that. Feel free to sell it to me!

Can't wait to see some pictures of this outside on its wheels. Love it so far.

Don't listen to @Sunglasses_Ron, he gets confused sometimes. Cup spoiler all the way.

Let's face it, people only buy Arctic 182s because they wish they were as cool as 172 Cups ?

I wouldn't get too caught up with the idea that you need fancy suspension etc in order to have fun. I can absolutely see the desire to build the car yourself as, for a lot of us, it's about the journey as much as it is about the end result, so I get that, but don't feel that you must fit...

Thanks chaps. Not sure on the best tools to use but will try and find a way

Agreed. The BBS are a bit scene queen for my taste. I actually saw one of these on the road this week. A smart looking little car still.

Any pictures chaps?

The standard studs might just be pressed in, so could just have longer ones put in. Easier than having the wheel bolt holes machined, which could compromise the strength of the wheel.

I am sure a few people have done this, so was wondering if anyone had any pictures or could run through how/what they did? Appreciate it!

Absolutely love it. Wheels, stance, it's just perfect!

Brilliant! Where do I sign-up?!

That's not how giving works ?

Doesn't look like it fits. Maybe it's better if you scrap the whole thing and give me the engine to put in my rally car?

The swaged pipe/Ramair filter worked ok on my Clio but, on my Escort, it was a struggle to get the filter onto the swaged pipe. I got it on but the rubber base of the filter split in no time. I ended up cutting the swage off on that one, as I was too cheap to buy another pipe lol Swaged pipes...

Love this project, it's mad and brilliant. One of the few Clios out there that needs 17" wheels though!

If it's a 172 Cup, it will 99.9% be the 54mm spacing, as that's what they were from the factory. Pretty unlikely that it's had 182 Cup hubs fitted. Fitting fresh factory dampers is a decent move and, last time I bought some, they weren't actually all that expensive. Think the rears were about...

Looks very smart in black I must say. A friend had one and seemed to like it. Nice cars and coming down in price now.

See :)

That looks so awesome.

That's not the 'proper' R3 airbox. They had a fruity carbon one. The Cup racers used the one above and maybe the R3 Access cars. I'm sure @NorthloopCup will correct me though.
