Got a set of xenons for the 172 cup coming next week and want to correct them before fitting. Where is the best place to buy 1200/1500 grit wet/dry paper from?
Been into Halfords/B&Q etc and they only seem to go down as low as 400/800
Woke up for the first time on a Sunday in a long while without a hangover, the sun was shining and I thought it would be rude not to give the cup some TLC!

The interior of my new cup is the only let down imo, so was contemplating the following....
- 182 interior (if there much/if any weight difference?)
- Bimarco futura's on the standard sliders (how much will they lower the ride height by on standard sliders and can you use normal seatbelts?)
If...
So the DCI sport has gone to a new owner and has been part exchanged with this lovely 172 cup. Visually looks in very good condition, will be getting it up on the ramp at work soon to be 100% sure everything is mechanically sound. Drives nice and tight so I am presuming all is in order.

Looking at suspension setups for my 172 cup.
Toying with either new shocks and Eibach sportlines or Bilstein B14 coilovers.
The eibachs obviously are the choice on a budget but I would love the stance given from coilovers.
Any opinions?

Saw quite a few Clio's at the big Harlow meet last night. Was a lot of tasty cars there too amongst the barry boys!

Should be fitting my delta mic spacers this week and have been advised against using the standard bolts.
What length/spec of bolt do I need to order?
Is it worth getting a stud kit over bolts?

Since I fitted the 16" 172 wheels to the dci, the mpg has taken a massive hit! Anybody else had this happen? Could easily achieve 70mpg average, now I'm struggling to get 60mpg.
Would never have thought wheels could make such a difference. I know the team dynamics I had before are...
Just how much better are the Sachs trophy dampers over the standard 182 cup packed units?
Who has upgraded them and what did you notice?
Car will be used mainly for fast road with the occasional track day (4/5 a year)
If I take the plunge I would also be using Eibach sportlines and a...
Decided to give the DCI a quick wash and polish this afternoon :)
Method:
Snowfoam (what little I had left!)
2BM with AG shampoo
Dried with Megs Water Magnet
Poorboys Black Hole
Megs tyre gel
Tesco (finest!) back to black for splitter, bumper insert, scuttle and mirror backings
Was going to...
Trying to sell my 182 to fund something else (scooby/m3/vx220), however its been up for sale for a couple of weeks now and not really had a sniff. It's priced to sell in my view but I think the high miles are putting people off!
At the moment it sits in my garage costing me money on insurance...
We have had a few decent meets this year, but I feel we can be bigger and better next year. So what ideas have we got in mind?
I think the usual karting meets etc never work because people cannot afford/commit to these events. Normal meets seem to be the way forward. Anyone got any ideas that...
Looking to relocate my battery to the boot to make space for my espace V6 airbox setup.
Can someone make me a shopping list of what I will need and the best places to source the parts.
I'm guessing:
Cable
Battery tray
Fixings
Fuses
I have done a search but couldn't all the info I needed
Tom
Considering doing a light swap between the DCI and the 182. Would much rather have the xenons on the DCI and know they will fit, but my question is will normal lights fit the 182?
Thanks
Tom
Hi Guys
Picked up my new 182 at the weekend so thought I'd start a new project thread. She's covered 105k and still drives like a car with half the mileage. Only things I can really fault so far are, the front brakes seem imbalanced (will try cleaning up), and a very slight whine from the PAS...
As many of you may have read, after selling the 200 I've now got the urge to get another car!
Originally I wanted a scoob, but I keep getting drawn back into another 1*2. I think part of the fact is how affordable they are now, and another fact is working for Renault means...
Hi Guys
Just looked through all 12 pages of the 'flamers appreciation' thread and can't find one car with the above!
I know there are a few on here, but can't find them through the search either!
Before I have the wheels painted, just want to be sure it looks as good as i remember.

Was lucky enough to win a VIP trip at work with Michelin to Spain this weekend to see the final of the Renault World Series in Catalunya. Was essentially the same day out as we get here in Silverstone, but being VIP and the 30 degree+ weather made it soooo much better!
The day involved hot laps...
Come on guys, get your names down.
Loads of interest in the last thread so lets see if we can get around 30 people including mates of mates etc.
1) Wests Renault x3
2)
3)
Can someone ring and book the track for, lets say, around 2:00pm?
Tom
I put 6k HID's in my dipped beams a while ago and now the full beams look s**t with the yellow bulbs.
What would be the best ones to buy to match the dipped beam?
Also I may as well do the fogs at the same time, even though I don't think I've used them yet :S lol
Well the 200 went yesterday, thought I'd take the time to write up how it was for anybody considering buying one.
I covered just under 6000 miles in and can now honestly say that the 200 excells over the 1*2's in the following areas interior build quality (no rattles!), gearbox, brakes and how...
