Brilliant pics, I see my friends were there in the Raider, Glacier White, Tungsten Grey R5 GT Turbos and the Coupe Cup race car. The Raider is a thing of beauty, he's also restoring a Renault 11 turbo back to it's former OE glory

My honest opinion, to drive a 100 miles to a park up on a plot of grass within a campsite...... Poor location Activites, average, catered for people who have children fair enough but that's about it. There didn't seem to be as many Clios attending this year like at Duxford. At least Duxford you...

Turned 40 last month and on my 5th Renaultsport Clio with the supercharged Petrol Blue 182. My first was when I was 34

So I ended up buying just 2 new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres and had them fitted to the OZ wheels. Saturday morning I headed back to Foundry tyres in Hockley to have all the wheels swapped over, decent chaps and charged me £10 each to swap the tyres from the 182 wheels to the OZ wheels. They...

It's not a bad mod but can be improved on, the tubes on mine were held in place with zip ties. Although what does let it down is the original rubber splitting which has made the tailpipes move slightly out of centre. I reckon the sealant with the tubes would be a better solution than zip ties...

Ricardos x 1

I'll be at CSS so if you're going you can have a look round and have a chat :)

Cool beans, will try and hook up when you hit the M25

Mark I might meet up with you en route after you've left the M11 meet up point if that's ok

I'm not convinced personally, I needed 2 new tyres so I bought new Michelin Pilots then swapped everything over to the Super Leggeras today. IMO it takes a lot to beat the OE 182 anthracite wheels. . by Ricard o1, on Flickr . by Ricard o1, on Flickr . by Ricard o1, on Flickr . by Ricard o1...

+1 just bought a pair at £95 each to replace the old sport 3s, the old fronts lasted 18k

Thanks for all the kind comments, indeed that steering wheel is a work of art Incey but cosmetic jobs like that will probably be done after the wheel/tyre, coilover, geometry jobs are done. If i go anthracite it means i'll paint them myself, after that i'll have 2 of the Michelins fitted off...

1758.8 miles since conversion 33.1 MPG average Been a bit quiet lately, I've been buying a few parts for the next phase. Now the power is there with 256 horses I'm addressing other areas such as braking and handling. I have decent Brembo HC discs and plenty of meat on the Ferodo DS2500 pads so...

Group B, WRC and other rally car exotica descend on the German town of Daun for 3 days for this annual event. Daun is pit paddocks to at least 150 rally cars from over 4 decades, surrounding towns host special stages with thousands of spectators all having the chance to see these cars being...

Sash been chauffered around the Laindon neighbourhood about 1ish :D

Hai! Lovin the banter... I'll be there again tomorrow

Haha Sash saw you on the way home about 4ish pm in the DS3 waving out the window!

I can't make tonight i'm prepping things for going away to Germany this week.

Was just wondering if anyone has fitted 40 profile 16" tyres to their 182. Is it a deal breaker? Only asking as there's a set fitted to some wheels for sale and wasn't sure whether it would make a massive difference or should stick to the OE 45 profile. Cheers

Give me a head start then :o

I'll check zee calendar, would be nice to be there again

Cheers, I took it out tonight for a spin round the back roads around Wakering. Dropped it back off and drove past yours going back to Chelsea Ave the other side of the park. We'll have to meet up :)

Dammit been spotted :o I live over the other side of the park but the house owner lets me use that part of the drive to keep the car off the main road. Do you own a silver 182 with anth 2118s?

Mark, keep me posted on those Hi Specs

My 1st set of RSX rear coilovers were purchased in Feb 2013 and didn't have helper springs only the 225lbs 11" items. They lasted about 11k and less than a year so Spax sent me a pair of new dampers under their 2 year warranty. I think i'll go 275lbs and 10" as it's primarily a road car (182 FF...

I have the 11" Spax springs and will order the 275lbs Faulkner springs, do you think i should stay with the same length? I only ask as you've mentioned the 9". How mine sat with the 11" seemed ok ( approx 20mm higher than arch line) but would like the option of lowering the ride height a bit...

I'd like a set please :)

Assuming std comp forged pistons? To be honest I wouldn't go far further than 20psi, is 20 at the carb top or manifold?

Nice to see OE parts going back in, regards 22psi and 230bhp what pistons are fitted?
