Clio 182 in evo

[Ian_182]

The new 182 gets a mention in this months evo,saying that it shares all the stuff like the twin pipes and thats been discussed on here previously.

Also it says about new size tyres which are 205 45 16 and it even comes with a air con glove box.

What interested me the most was the two new cup versions starting at £14600 with optional suspension and different splitters for the front.Also the dash and seat belt stuff are different colours.

P.S according to evo as they went to press there was only one months supply of the cup left.

Regards,ian

So thats more weight theyre adding then...

More power, but more weight and I reckon there will be little or no advantage for anyone upgrading from a 172 to a 182.

These are not Cup replacements though, it just gives the buyer the option to leave the car with a normal 172 style suspension setup, or go for the Cup suspension setup at additional cost. Plus they can also choose to have (again at extra cost) the larger rear spoiler & front splitter thats standard on a Cup...

That was at the time of going to press too, so be very few left now!

[White16valver]

Evo has always been delivered-late to me - just annoying as youre guaranteeing (spelling?) them a years subscription or whatever and you can buy it sooner in the shops!

I got mine this morning. I have, however, only just subscribed, so I am probably just being led into a false sense of security.

 

[viceroy]

So where are these pics?

 

[warrenc]

Hey viceroy
I spoke to Laurent Marty, the Clio product manager at Renault SA. He told me the 182 will be available here in March 04 at around R200k.

Am still waiting for feedback on which of the Cup accessories will be available, but am seriously thinking of putting my name down for one in black with cup front/rear spoilers and maybe the cup chassis depending on cost.

 

[Ian P]

I really dont like the wheels on the 182...

...I like the exhaust though.

 

[172@18]

wheres these pics then?

 

[Jean Ragnotti]

I would recommend the Cup suspension if you are apt to spend any time at all on the track. The additional caster alone will save a bunch in tyre bills.
