Several upgrades fitted the other day:BTB Exhaust, Yozza de-cat, ITG Maxogen filter. Haven't really noticed any gains in outright accelration. Though perhaps a small increase of torque seems to present in the lower rpm range. Happens around 4000 rpm. Should I be seeing more of a performance...

Due to have new Brembo Max discs and new Ferodo DS 2500's pads fitted tomorrow. Any particular method of bedding in required? Thanks.:)

Anyone using the Yozzasport brake cooling kit? Good results?

Looking to buy a set of screws for a 182 engine cover recently purchased. Does anybody know what type I would need. Can they only be bought through Renault? Thanks.:)

Is this the correct pattern for a front brake pad to fit a Clio 182 Cup caliper? Apparently it's known as a BF 4 ??? Any ideas Edde?

Dixcel Carbon Type Z. Anyone know or heard of these? Apparently they're rather good.:) Anybody using them?

Wear rate doesn't bother me or the cost (as long as it isn't ridiculous). Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta supposedly is one on best. Above F1's, P-Zero and RE 070's. Opinions please?:)

How much is the going rate (roughly) for a painted engine cover? Also should it be painted a type of paint to withstand engine bay temperatures? Thanks.:)

Looking at buying some motorsport wheels. Much prefer them to average street styling items. Anybody know of any other wheels similiar to these?

Anyone know of the cheapest retailer for a front set of DS 2500's ? Thanks.:)

Just found this on the pasenger door yesterday while washing.:mad: Would like it to be repaired, but it MUST be an A1 immaculate job. I live in Essex near chelmsford. Willing to travel to get it sorted IF the work is 110% quality. Anybody know of someone/company who do excellent dent...

Just returned from the gym. 0 degrees apparently. Noticeable power increase than earlier today when ambient temp was around 4 degrees. Suprised there was such a difference. No mods to the car at all.:S Anyone else experience this?

Thinking about a set of wheels sometime in the next few months. I know it's overdone but the Turini's in white will match the paintwork and suit the car. Wondered what other multispoke wheels are available and who's using them? Any pictures? Thanks.:)

Keen to get hold of space saver for my 182 Cup as a spare to carry in the boot. Really don't want to carry a standard wheel since it takes up too much room and weight. Can a space saver be purchased? If so, where from? Comments appreciated.:)

After researching the potential uprgrade to 4-pot brakes I've decided just go not to. Seems there's issues getting the brakes bled properly and the pedal feel doesn't appeal even when they are working correctly. So I've decided to go for an uprated disc and pad combo. I've heard Brembo's Max...

Just wondered who's using the Willwood brake, what they think of it and how it performs? All coments appreciated.:)

Will be fitting my BTB exhaust soon and wondered if I should use a high flow or de-cat pipe? Which one would give the most gains for a BTB exhaust? Would prefer something rather noisy to balance out the quietness of the exhaust. All comments appreciated.:)

Even though it's Christmas day, entertainment only last so long before boredom kicks.:dapprove: Had planned a 1/2 day of car cleaning. It's raining and can't get on it. Better not rain on Boxing Day!!! :mad:

Just wondered if any of you out there are using Shed's big brake kit using the comp brake items? If so for how long? how does it compare to other big brake kits? and overall opinion, well worth doing? All replies appreciated.:) Thank you.

Just bought this of a fellow club member. Very pleased with condition of the exhaust and quality of workmanship here. Bought the BTB on the strength of the comments of other owners on here. Should be on soon.....:)

Decided to upload a couple of photo's of the car. Didn't bother at first since me and PC's don't get on to well.

Thinking about buying a set of 17" wheels for a 182 Cup. Question is, will these terribly affect the handling. If so just how bad and how noticeable? All replies appreciated. Thank you.:)

A few weeks back I ordered an Exalto for my 182 Cup from Event Tyres. £85.00 included the tyre and a mobile fitting service. Good price I thought. Although the chap was pleasant and wasn't on tight schedule a chip/scratch was inflicted upon the wheel. To cover himself he said the wheel had...

In the next few months I'll be upgrading the front brakes on my 182. My dilema is that I feel for the optimum set up I should increase the disc size to a greater diameter than that of the standard disc. To do this I'll need to increase wheel size up from 16" to 17". I was told at GDI that...

Just been for the 24K service at GDI. The technician said I'd need to replace my front discs soon as they're corroding. OK, the unused centre part of the disc is looking grubby but never have I been told to replace discs due to this. The discs have a great deal of metal left on them. Just...

Looking at a couple of online retailers. One states that he sells Exalto 2 PE2's aonther just Exalto PE2. Looked on my sidewall. It says Exalto PE2. Have Exalto 2 PE2's replaced the tyres that are on my car? Is anybody using Exalto 2 PE2's? Or has the retailer got it wrong? Thanks.:)

Exalto's according to the retailers mentioned bellow seem to exist in two different guises: Exalto PE2 and Exalto 2 PE2. Does this mean Exalto 2's have replaced the orginal? If so is there a difference in tread pattern? I'm using original Exalto PE2's. I only need one and would like to keep...

In need of seat covers as my seats are showing signs of wear. Also they mark easily. Any ideas? Thanks.:)

Just wondered what enticed other Clio 182 Cup owners to buying such a car? I bought mine as a primary daily driver. Covering between 50-75 miles every day. I chose it over a Fiesta ST as it's lighter with more power. Over a Civic Type-R as again it's lighter returns more MPG and cheaper to...

I've never used Xenon bulbs in any of my cars beforehand. I wondered what others think of them and are they an advantage? If so where would be the best place to purchase them and what wattage are? Thanks.:)
