Building a 750MC Spec 182 for next season

[Barky85]

Hi there, Were going to be building a 182 to run in the clio series next year. Just wanting to check that performance and chassis wise the age, spec and running gear on all the 182s are the same? the difference in suspension is not a problem obviously as they use spax coilovers

Any info will be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

chassis number has to be CB22 - Cup packed/cup/trophy variant with 60mm hubs

My friend's car wasn't originally a cup packed car. So not sure if it'll have the CB22 chassis number. But he just bought some cup hubs and drive shafts etc then swapped it all over.

Yes, the wording is:
Chassis

6 point bolt in rollcage only. Cars must be identical in specification to the Clio 182 Cup model (CB22)


Also, its Ktec Coilovers, not spax.

If he ever does well, there will be some pedantic billy that will lodge a complaint that he's not within regs.

Which wont hold water as the regs above allow the car to be specd 'as' a cup model.

The control Ktec suspension for this series is the Spax RSX coilovers but with up rated valves and springs.

Fair point, but going back to the OPs question, there are more differences between 182s and 182 cups, the front hubs are different, so changing to them will also be required to meet the regs. There are also new rules for 2014 requiring TD Pro race alloys and dunlop control tyres.
