Looking to buy a set of coilovers for my 182 Cup in the next few months so thought I'll start with the research now. Car will be mainly used for road usage with maybe the odd trackday. Many seem to recommend an H & R set up is the best to go for? There are others, are they better? Overall...

Mmmmm....very nice, the way forward.:)

They took a while to wear in but my Brembo Max's and DS 2500's are now working very well. Certainly an uprgrade over the o.e.m. equipment.:) Taken some serious abuse on my local track at over 110 mph, haven't encountered fade yet. Must try 140, shame the home straight won't allow it.:dapprove:

That sounds like a bad price. However just had my tyres swapped to my new wheels for £34 all in which I didn't think was too bad.

Yeah, the odd rattle here and there. Especially notice the plastics rubbing around the vents below the windscreen.

Welcome.:) Cressing is only a few miles from myself. I took my 182 Cup there when I first bought it. The technicians who looked at it couldn't even tell me if the engine was the correct one for the car!!!!:S What does that say......hmmmm.:dapprove:

I'm using a BTB. I'm sure it's dropped a little over the past 1500 miles since fitted. I'll need to do the same or buy some new mounts.:dapprove: Also the tail pipes seem to be protruding more so than when originally fitted?:S

I don't think the 420's do away with the VVT though I could be wrong.

^ Both Ben R and Paul at RS tuning said this. You're using the 420's yourself? Just didn't want to lose any low down torque, which well may occur if 428's are used. Looking to get the cams, inlets and re-map for late April early May. Can't wait.:)

Spoke to Ben R at AngelWorks today. Opting for Cat 420's as opposed to 428's. The 420's so I'm told will offer greater low down gains over the O.E.M. cams which is something I feel the 182 lacks. I liked the idea of the sort of v-tech characteristics of 428's but didn't wish to lose any...

^ That is very good! £80, delivered?

^That sounds a very logical and simple solution with resonably easy repair.:) I wonder why others haven't thought of it before?:S

^ Give me time and we'll see what happens.

^ I guess there is a possibility of Renault doing the job under warranty then. Then again, thinking about it.....is it such a good idea to let Renault loose on the car? Hmmmm.

Luckily the car will be up for having the cams changed soon enough. I'll get it sorted then.

^ In two years you can have em' when I place the originals back on.;)

Thanks gary.:) Damn, she's still in warranty, though with the mods fitted so far I doubt Renault would've touched her. Especially that BTB exhaust you sold me which is probably causing the oil leak.;)

I was planning of F1 DS 3's...until I heard how bad they were.:dapprove: I think the F1 DS 2's are no longer available?

I wouldn't say biased, just a decent taste in styling.:approve:

I'm using a YozzaSport de-cat with my BTB exhaust on my 182 Cup. They're not cheap at around £100 delivered but the quality of the component is very good due decent materials and engineering. I wouldn't say I've experienced any power gains, re-map needed. Nice sound from the exhaust though.:)

Thanks.:) They look even better in the flesh. Really is an excellent contrast.

Coilovers are on the list and will appear in summertime. About a 20-30 mm drop. No lower as the e.t on SuperTurismo's is 37, don't fancy having the arches modified. I may go for blue O.Z. graphics upon the wheels food for thought, considering options.

The other day I noticed a small amount oil had collected just above the silver bolt below the oil filler neck. Pretty sure I cleaned most of it out so I could see if something is leaking. It also seems to be making it's way southwards and collecting in a recess on the head. An area of concern...

Maybe not the most orginal choice but they suit the car perfectly. Extremely pleased with the addition of them!:D :D

I've got a pair on e-bay for sale if anyone's interested?

I'll second that about the water disappation. Hard driving in down poor last week, excellent response from the brakes immediately.:)

:) Max disc's for 90 quid on e-bay delivered. Bought mine, happy with the price and product.:)

^That sounds superb.:D
