So have most 182 owners got their full allocation of engine power? :) By the way, has anyone compared a 182 with Cup chassis to a 172 Mk II? Is there a marked difference in acceleration (eg. 30-50, 30-70, 50-70, etc)? And if so, anyone with comparative data? One aspect I do not understand...

Any idea what the part number is for the Michelin Pilot Exaltos. Wanting to purchase through the local Renault dealership since my countrys Michelin company does not import these tyres. And does it also mean we should we looking for a red dot when the tyres arrive?

So what are those buttons to the side of the steering wheel ie. under the handgrips at the 3 & 9 oclock positions - new volume controls? BY the way, it may be near silent inside the car because of the insulation but there may be much more of a roar if you get someone to blip your throttle &...

Did you use to have a 172, Tomclio182? By the way, looks like you have ticked that Cup chassis option ;)! If so, what changes have you noticed? Is the exhaust really that much gruntier (referred to sounding like a BTCC car)? Is there really 2 buttons next to the dashlight dimmer - I believe...

What has changed for the interior of the 182 compared to the 172? http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/picture_library/dir_26/car_portal_pic_13396 I am referring to this picture because there is a 2nd button (to the left, I think) of the ESP switch. Does anyone have an idea of what this may be...

All RenaultSport products, Ben? By the way, what is a SMT6?

I dont think there is any arguments here. Michelin Pilot Exalto 2, I believe, were developed with the 182 (either that or that are made specifically for hot hatches) where cornering is what counts. From what I heard or read somewhere, there is more rubber on the outside of the tyre, hence...

Let me tell you my situation... My cat has a rattle and it is likely to be replaced under warranty. Therefore, I have to get a Renault-approved part, nothing aftermarket. Hence that is why I have been asking about the RenaultSport racing cat or perhaps the 182 metallic cat (if it fits). If...

Does anyone know the part number for a RenaultSport racing cat (perhaps one they use in Clio Cup Racing? Any idea about performance gains? Alternatively, would anyone have an idea whether the new metallic catalyst of the 182 would bolt straight into where the 172 (Mk II) cat currently is? If...

Jay172, if we knew the part number, then it is possible to order via the Renault network. Any ideas about this number? Tonykart, maybe you may know it...

Would any member know whether there is such a specific item as a RenaultSport catalyst (not the standard 172 catalyst) but perhaps a cat designed for the Clio Cup race cars for example? Is there is such a catalyst, would anyone know that part number? Alternatively, what other options do I...

Thanks for the tips - I guessed that genuine RenaultSport parts were going to be more expensive. Dont actually want to do a full conversion; just want to know the part numbers so if I do want to change the front springs & dampers to that of a Cup-chassis 182, I can ask my dealer how much it...

Does any member have the part numbers to those bits of the RenaultSport Clio 182, which differ from the 172? Here is my compiled list of the parts (feel free to add any part I have missed): (I am specifically looking for the part number of the new metallic catalyst and wanting to know whether...

So Ben, is that the best place for cool air? What happened to removal of that left foglight :)? Did you also modify the ECU at the same time as adding in the PipercrossX? Did you say that ideally we should, (because it can run a little lean) but it does not cause any engine damage so theres...

So: 1. exhaust manifold 2. catalyst 3. mid-pipe (do this really need to be changed?) 4. rear box (what happens if you already have a modified rear box?) 5. ECU What is etc, etc, etc? What have I missed, Ben?

If the 182 exhaust manifold was installed in a 172, can be expect the same new torque graph as the 182 (with the increase in power) or are there other modifications that are required (eg. new metallic cat as used in the 182 may be needed to contribute to the flow of gases)?

From HK, mate; but live in Australia;). Whats that? No long term damage from BMC CDA? What do you think? Have the intake hose where the foglight was or cut into that grill. Cheers!

Oh, forget to ask: If I modify the airbox/induction kit and leave the ECU as per normal, then what long term engine damage/deterioration can I expect? After all, I think (am I correct?) that most gains are only at top end anyway. Hate to lose part of that low-rev torque. Also, noticed that...

Ben, So what you are suggesting is: 1. Standard airbox/induction kit is good enough 2. That ECU be modified is you want a non-standard induction kit 3. Modify where the intake of the airbox (whether it be standard or non-standard) to where the left foglight stands or where the lower...

I know this has been discussed in great detail (and there was a lot of talk about BMC CDA or Viper or just air filter) before but for all those needing to change their air filter @ 20,000 km service, the information from the discussion may summarise induction/air filters once and for all...
