Liquid Yellow 182

[Sherrington]

So today I became the very proud new owner of this little beauty!

I will update with better pictures once I get hold of a decent camera, thanks for looking.

 

[Stefan.]

Very nice!!

Whats the mileage?

 

[Sherrington]

130,000 but as we all know that's nothing as long as these engines are properly serviced/maintained, which this has been. It drives brilliantly aswell.

That's @Rowly ptwvious car, sold on eBay?

Looks very nice mate

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Love liquid yellow! Looks great and you'd never guess it's done 130k!!:up:

 

[Sherrington]

Yeah it's rowlys that was on eBay, it's had so much done to it recently, a real credit to rob and previous owners, top guy.

I'll definitely be keeping it as mint as possible.

 

[Sherrington]

Took a few pics yesterday morning...

 

[Ghm]

Had the pleasure of seeing this car in person a few months ago and it was mint :smile: Did a swap deal for Rowly's turinis so you have my old cup pack wheels lol.

Yeah it really is an excellent example, it could possibly end up back on turinis at some point too

Looks stunning mate. A good buy

 

[Sherrington]

No pics but I replaced the number plate light holder with a new unit, I also replaced the interior and sidelight bulbs with white led's.

And I've ordered a nice new set of RenaultSport mats to go in

And a new set of rear exhaust hangers by the looks of the tailpipes

Yours is stunning too mate, just read through your project thread :hearteyes:

 

[Jekyll]

LY is such a nice colour. Even more nice when it's in the sun.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Stunning colour!

Knowing it's come from Rob, it'll be mint.

 

[Sherrington]

RenaultSport mats went in a few days ago

And now I'm currently sat here applying the rs tuner 98 ron map :tongueout:

 

[imprezaworks]

Seems rare tyres don't have a map on allready. Car looks great btw

 

[Sherrington]

I was surprised myself, plugged the rs tuner in and found out it was still on the standard map and no ecu mapping since new.

Are you happy with the 98 ron map? Looking into getting it done to my BG 182

 

[Sherrington]

Love it mate, I also had it on my previous 182 for the past year, better idle, runs alot better when cold, a bit more torque lower down the rev range and a higher rev limit.

That pretty much sums it up but if you haven't already read this proper in-depth review http://www.cliosport.net/threads/my-very-honest-review-of-the-rs-tuner-98-ron-map.703075/

 

[Clio_fool]

The more I read about this the more I suspect my 182 is such equipped. Mines nothing like a 172 I looked at which was very lumpy when cold and had a big kick at 5k. This was supposed to be a standard car with a stainless exhaust, I suspect an induction kit was fitted to a the airbox feed pipe isn't connected properly.

If you can get your hands on an rs tuner and plug it into your car that'll tell you straight away whether it's been mapped.

Good car that!

Good car that!

I suppose it's not too shabby :wink:
