Glacier 200 with Cup Chassis & Recaro's

[robbie c]

Finally back with a Renaultsport on the drive, had a 182 5 years ago that I absolutely loved, and regret getting rid of to this day! Only did due to needing a diesel, now I'm working a mile and a half from home which is lovely I can go back to petrol! Was looking at Megane 230's and 250's originally, but came across this on Autotrader, went to view it and drove it and put a deposit down there and then! 15k, 2 owners, FRSH, and Cup Chassis with Recaro's. Completely standard so far apart from "Clio" being removed from the boot as soon as it got home! Was originally going to be just a good road car as I also have a gutted 182 I got cheap from work as a track project, but after owning the 200 for a week it will get a bit of track work too no great pics so far but will update with the little bits as I go!

Cosmetic plans involve removing any signs of fried egg effect, possible lamin-x'ing, black roof, spoiler and diamonds, Eibach pro's, then exhaust, induction and map! And if anyone is after a 182 project please see the for sale section

Hi Robbie, hope you like your 200, my friend James@Autoenhance in Colchester looks after my cars you may know him, cu about :approve:

Hi Ian, been around Colchester for a few years now, yeah know of James!

First couple of little touches, "Clio" removed and 6two1.com sticker applied:

No new pics, hose has split so can't wash it at the moment and not taking pics of it dirty haha! Have fitted a Pipercross panel filter, led sidelight and numberplate bulbs, and Silvatec indicator bulbs all round, and just driven it! Next plans will be matching tyres all round, Akrapovic and a map, and upgraded pads and discs for track! Will post updates as I go!

 

[robbie c]

Few bits done today, gave it a clean inside and out as it was filthy, still needs a proper detail though (will be getting done in better weather!). Fitted a new rain sensor that seems to be working, winner, and have ordered some new Advan Neova AD08R's for the front as one is now ridiculously low, will get a matching pair for the rear next month! Few pics:

Definitely need the Eibach's ordering!

[George@RTR_Parts]

The rear seems very high there? Or is it just me/the angle?

 

[robbie c]

That will be the angle I was virtually sat on the floor lol!

Quick update, Lamin-X'd the fogs, looks good from a distance haha!

First pair of new tyres here, Advan Neova AD08R's, waiting for payday to get the 2nd, looking forward to having a go on these!

I have AD08's on mine, I rate them a lot. Only thing is, I'm currently on target to go through the front within 6000 miles and a track day.

I've got a similar white 200 cup. Had it for 4 months now. You are going to love it. Would be interested to know how you get on with doing the black roof because I was thinking of doing the same to mine but have got no idea how to start! Rough cost? Do you need a Renault specialist?

 

[robbie c]

Hello mate, love it already haha! Well we've got a company in Colchester who've done loads of stuff for all the guys in the car scene and their work is top notch, I'll just take it there and then they'll wrap it with 3m vinyl! They've quoted £240 to do all the bits I want doing just for reference

 

[robbie c]

Just a small update, AD08R's on all round now, Team Heko wind deflectors fitted, and a quick clean!

So far the tyres seem fantastic, really surprised me how much grip they have in the wet, and haven't really had chance to push it in the dry yet but happy with the initial "bite" so far!

Finally got round to taking it on track for the first time last week, few pics:

As a standard car (apart from the sticky tyres) it did really well, going forward I'd like to upgrade the brakes and the brake fluid, drop it slightly on some Eibach's, Powerflex all the bushes and get it fast road setup!
