Doh, my stupid brother! You can see the loads the suspension takes on fast corners well on that pic! Again I am astounded at just how good the cs is now! It was very good in my opinion before, but its just shot up loads.

Saw that thread and yeah my cars on there w00t Just found another pic

Oh I must admit I was concentrating on smooth laps, I did happen to *cough* film a lap or 2. We also saw Nige hes out there for 6 weeks!! his mrs even snapped alot of us!

Ah if you were there in your 182! I may just have a pic. There was a few ph2s from the UK I saw a silver, a black and an inferno one.

Yeah I was there then!

Stayed at Camping am Nuburgring, its 12 euros a day and an absolutely cracking site.

Times were sub 10 minutes. Its a totally standard car and I am not that brave, fastest I did was 120 on the downhill section to Schwedenkreuz and Aremberg. I can never remember turn ins apex's and exits for it when you have just been there a few days. Next year I definately want tuition. There...

Arrived home last night after an epic trip to the 'ring. The whole trip was around 1800 miles from Cornwall to Dover then across to Germany. I am a classic mini fan and run www.theminiforum.co.uk and every year we organise a trip over, this year we also ran it for retro cars...

*hangs head in shame* Will try harder next time.

First time I put a pic of my car on here, I had it a couple of months now and I love it. Found this nice cup and had to park next to it. Shame about the quality of my camera phone.

Sorry to threadjack Has anybody tried this? Seems could be the solution I am looking for to pair with my focal components.

I am too tight for that, and I used to enjoy wiring systems in. Will have to have a look as I dont want to go Chavvy, just want a nice sounding system.

Trouble is fitting them too, I will probably want to amp them but I can see the wiring for that being a complete PITA.

Hey well I picked up my motor over the weekend. I absolutely love the car spent most of the weekend aimlessly driving around in it. A few things need sorting to make it mint. Any1 know where I can get a set of speaker covers from for the doorcards? As the person before has hacked the original...

Hi, I want to replace my components for my 182. Any suggestions of what will replace the standard speakers in the door and dash? I am keeping my eye on Ollies Focals, but ideally dont want to be spending more than £100. Thanks Nick

You lot who pay loads are crazy. I waited for mine, its going to be £442 a year. 23 years old, 5 years NCB and 3 points. Thats with privlege. Sweet.

Excellent news. I am too picking up a RB 182 this week, I went round and spotted everything I could for them to repair. Also going up from a dynamique.

Thanks for the replies, yeah I am hard to impress and went around the car with a fine tooth combe today for the PDI. Found a few bits which they are fixing for me before I pick it up Thursday!

Car has done 40k, they are sorting a few cosmetic things for me. I hope to take it to the ring in August as I go every year anyway. Would a Fastchips upgrade and a ITG panel filter be sensible first mods as I dont really want to deviate too much from standard. Second question if I want...

£7800 in the end, PX'd my clio 1.2 billabong, and I got Renault Warranty for the time I own the car. Pics will be done once I cleaned it because I bet whilst they will clean it, it will still be a bit dirty.

Me again, Well I test drove the same car again yesterday afternoon and with all of your input in mind I drove it how it was supposed to be driven. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I was being far far to gentle with it. I let the car warm up and took it to a straight big of road dropped into second and let...

More really useful replies so thanks people. Going to give them a ring tomorrow and ask to take it for a proper blast. Then tell them I want a minter so be on their toes. I got so many criteria I want it to meet, so I could be waiting for a while. I will post back with second drive results.

OK thanks for all of your input people. I will drive a few more. I certainly did come back with a smile, the exhaust note was fantastic and the steering and suspension felt it had a lot to offer. Next time I will really give it some stick. Thanks again Nick

No this is the problem I am facing too, a small hole in the dashboard would drive me nuts, thats why I was wondering if its repairable. I will get my fine tooth comb out next time I visit.

Well that be the reason then. I am from the land of Kernow, and I think i was mostly comparing it to my mates 306 rallye which is a beast low down.

Thanks all for your input, some things there to think about. I really want a minter. So not going to rush into anything just yet.

Thanks for your reply. I will ask if I can drive another, although I wouldn't mind spending more time in it to get a better feel and drive it with the engine at optimum operating temp. Sorry about wrong section, mods.

Hi there I have always lurked on this forum since i bought my 1.2 clio. Now I want something a bit tastier. So today I popped into the dealer and enquired about a 182. Lovely 'racing blue' car with 40k miles and in good condition the only things I spotted wrong on my brief inspection was the top...

I araldited mine at the weekend.
