182 without cupped packs!!!

[MRBILLYUK]

Personally i think 6.5k is about right , even for a non cup packed 182 . There are lots of 182 cups on autotrader going for alot more , baring in mind they don't have xenons and have sh!t seats :dead: . I'd rather go for a non cup packed 182 and maybe sort some aftermarket suspension out if i wasn't happy with the handling , source some amphasite wheels if that floats your boat and a splitter .

At the end of the day it's what someone is prepared to pay . Cheap 182's are cheap for a reason imo . They more than likely are showing signs or abuse , wear and tear etc ..... thats why they are cheap

Same gear ratios AFAIK.

nope, longer 1st gear in 182 at the very least.

Bet you a dime bar. Ph1 has different ratios, ph2 and 182 don't.

bet you a box of dime bars, and having done a brief search the best I can find to confirm is a post by resident renault tech guru edde:

My 182 hit 65 on the clocks and my new 172 hits about 60/62 - not gospel I know but noticeably feels shorter.

With respect to 182s with and 182s without Cup Packs I don't think the vast majority of dealers/traders realise the difference so don't value them differently. I reckon it's just a "182" to most of them. I looked at 3 at traders all around the same price and only one had both cup packs (which I bought) and handily it was the nicest condition one too.

Thats a good point. Most of them dont know whats what. Theyre all "cups"

^^ i remember when i was first looking for a 182 with cup packs at a stealers and i asked the salesman if he had any 182s with both cup packs. He said ''yes , one came in last week''. So i stupidly got excited and followed and unfortunately he took me over to some mondial blue coloured poverty specd clio with a dynamique interior and silver turinis

I have been having the same thing with dealers in the Norfolk area, it's either a 182 or a cup, no one seems to know if it's a 182 with cup packs. And short of putting a standard 182 next to a 182 with cup packs I don't think I am going to be able to tell the difference either.

From what has been said about what was included in the cup packs I have a feeling that one of the cars I have looked at has both cups packs but is missing a front splitter and annoyingly is imaculate inside but a touch scruffy outside with a curbed front wheel and a couple of scratches here and there!!!

Althought the wheels can easily be refinished (so difficult to judge by wheel colour), there is a subtle difference in stance and ride height that is noticeable. I was in the same boat (didn't really know the difference between) but when I looked at one with both cup packs vs one without the one with just sits better. The spoiler pack is easier to identify obviously!
