    Colour looks awesome! Only colour I'd have over my Cup

    Joe's Black Sapphire M135i

    My friend had one of these, unbelievable cars! I think it was mapped as well. I was pretty jealous every time I sat in it to be honest, with the DSG box the acceleration just pins you back into your seat like no car I've been in. He had a full custom decat fitted to his and it sounded...

    Daniels Blue 182.

    No need to buy one. I’ve actually just signed up on the Canadian version of Tinder, you just get matched up with local moose

    Pride and joy ripped away in the night

    That really sucks mate. What sort of person does something like that? The crash might have been an honest mistake but to drive off.... If that happened to me I'd give anything to get my hands on the perpetrator

    Right from the beginning I felt like it was being blown out of proportion. Tenner says that box lives for another 10k.

    Belt and dephaser etc Derbyshire

    They're by no means self-claimed Renault specialists, but from the work I've seen them do, I'd have thought they could do a belt change with their eyes shut. They fitted my cage, satchshift (same as PMS shifter) and did some re-wiring to my 106 GTi a couple of years ago. They had also built a...

    Belt and dephaser etc Derbyshire

    Mick is deffo the go-to guy, but on the other hand, he's always super busy so you'll need to book well (weeks) in advance. Noble Motorsport in Chesterfield are a good alternative, really good guys there and their work is top notch.

    130k miles - too high?

    Don't listen to this guy. Phase 1 or Phase 2? What colour is also important!

    Welcome mate. Yeah the car is well known here. You've got yourself a super clean 182 there. Here's his old project thread if you've not already seen it (I'm hoping it was sold honestly) https://www.cliosport.net/threads/d11cup-rb182-project-thread.815835/page-6#post-11600372

    1.2 16V Modifying

    Fair enough mate. Was just double checking. @GrahamS is currently building a 172/182 replica down to pretty much the last nut and bolt if you want any inspiration, check his project blogs.

    1.2 16V Modifying

    Are you a young driver? If you're currently unable to afford a faster/sportier car, you're probably unable to afford the insurance on a modified car? When I was 18, just adding something simple like lowering springs almost doubled my insurance as 9/10 companies wouldn't insure me for a...

    James' 172 Cup Project

    Took the Cup out to Snake Pass in the Peak District yesterday. Got up at 5:30am to beat the traffic - Snake Pass at 7am on a Sunday morning = almost a private racetrack aha. The Clio took a bit of a caining which I feel a little guilty for, but it did everything I asked of it and more! Here's...

    Awesome photos as usual mate! Just love how clean the engine bay always looks

    Daniels Blue 182.

    Ace. Glad you got it sorted mate after the initial disaster! Like you mentioned, at the end of the day- good power figures are nice but not what really matters, what's important is the smile it puts on your face when you put the pedal to the metal

    May have to sell the RB182 :(

    Why don't you work backwards... what's it worth with a rebuilt box? £3-3.5k if you advertise it right? Let's say £3200 A rebuilt box these days goes for say... £400? If you can't do it yourself, fitting about £350, plus consumables like oil and coolant etc... so say another £400? £3200 - 900 =...

    May have to sell the RB182 :(

    Stunning car mate, shame it's come to this. I'm in nearly the same position as I'm hopefully going to be starting a new job soon with a 30 mile commute. Already putting enough wear and tear on mine as it is hitting the country roads as much as possible! Value wise... I'm really not sure...

    If battery dead how do you get into the 182

    I was going for shaking my head. Never seen anyone use it for ''simple minded human'' haha

    Nice work mate. Those roll centre kits are a huge investment but look awesome!

    James' 172 Cup Project

    Agreed, my 106 had terrible rust issues so glad it's nothing serious like that. Haha wouldn't have blamed you if you took the chair, gotta take your chances!

    Clio Cup Turbo vs Porsche 911 GTS @ Brands Hatch

    One thing I'll never ever understand, is why people take passengers out on their track days. People go to all that effort weight shedding and increasing power/weight ratio and then stick 60kg(+++) in the passenger seat!

    James' 172 Cup Project

    All fixed! New injector did the job.Nice and easy in the end, just a pain in the arse and another £40 into the endless money pit that is my Clio.

    James' 172 Cup Project

    Finally happy with how this thing rides and drives. At long last I've eliminated all knocking and rattling noises by installing the new rear dampers and lowering the exhaust down a few mm using a couple of washers. Went out for a drive on Wednesday with my mate and his new toy. They're quite...

    Looks mega mate! Not long until it's finally 'finished' so you can actually enjoy it properly!

    Looking sweet mate

    Clio 172 cup

    Sits just fine mate. My VMaxx Coilovers sit a little lower than yours, and they've got much further to go- but your Bilsteins will outhandle them all day long, it's called compromising!
