MrBlonde's 172 cup

MrBlonde · Jul 8, 2017

Might be better in a bright silver & having it low & wheels spaced out properly,but dark ones do look good.

182_steve · Jul 8, 2017

From someone who has fresh silver Turini's....... those photos of the darker 2118's on that Clio look awesome!!!

Tough choice indeed!

-Simon · Jul 8, 2017

2118's all the way

172Oz · Jul 9, 2017

May have to get some 2118's in the future now haha

MrBlonde · Jul 9, 2017

Like i said earlier im still keeping the turinis as nice to have the choice.

Maybe someone with a set of 2118's would be nice enough to let me try a set on mine,to see how they look?:wink:

Probably mate. We can have a poke around each other's cars there then :smile:

(stands up) Hi, my names Paul and I don't like 2118's, or black wheels. Silver turini's are da bomb! Wish I had some.

Your car looks great blondie, leave it as it is.

MrBlonde · Jul 13, 2017

Just fitted a new 197 Renault Sport badge.

cjgower · Jul 13, 2017

I love how clean this Cup is. I'm using 2118's at the moment in anthracite for mine but love seeing yours on silver Turini's. Still got mine and so so tempted to swap back. They look great on both imo.

MrBlonde · Jul 17, 2017

Got any photos of yours on the 2118s mate? @cjgower ive started looking for a set & deciding on what colour to do them :grimacing:

I Just come cross this photo,each time i look at a cup with them one it makes me want them more & then i look at a photo of mine all clean with the turinis on haha

cjgower · Jul 17, 2017

Only image I have online now since Photobucket decided to screw everyone over is this one mate. Anthracite is the one!

That right there is perfect. What size spacers have you got on?

MrBlonde · Jul 17, 2017

Thanks mate,so you prefer the original wheels.
10mm rear shims and 16mm front i think,its been a while since i fitted them.

See that's a VERY hard choice to make!! It looks soo smart with the Turini's BUT those anthracite 2118's look soo smart too!!!

🙈

I know mate!,im just liking that i have read that the ride is better with 15inch or upgrade the GAZ to Billie coilovers!.choices,choices!:weary:

Clio_fool · Jul 17, 2017

Keep the turinis. If it were a rb or arctic 182 then try 2118's but as it's a cup the silver turini's keep it authentic.

182_steve · Jul 18, 2017

Yep, OEM+ :wink::wink:

MrBlonde · Jul 18, 2017

Have you had the map done yet mate? @182_steve

I emailed Andy today & he cant get me in till after the 8th of August,so im looking at the 15th of sept after my hols :up:

MrBlonde · Jul 19, 2017

All booked in for my remap at Engine Dynamics in September :up:

182_steve · Jul 19, 2017

Good stuff mate, your all booked in and sorted then, plenty of time to save up as well

Nope not done yet...... i'm going tomorrow! I've had to wait a while as well so hoping Andy can get this 5k+ revving issue sorted on mine first, so that it can still be re-mapped as planned!

Jekyll · Jul 19, 2017

Steve yours looked awesome the other day when I say it. It sits perfect and looks spot on with the turinis, rolling.

I'd normally say 2118s but yours looked so good as it is, I'm unsure that 2118s are going to look as good.

Oh the choices!

MrBlonde · Jul 19, 2017

Haha was weird I actually thought i wounder if i will see Mark as im driving past your neck of the woods!.

Thanks tho mate,all the time spend doing your own cars you never actually see it driving to see what it actually looks like.Yeah i think i will keep it like that for now & just get the map done & other bits.

Have to have a meet up soon tho mate @Dr Jekyll

Yes mate time to get the oil/filter changed etc & save for it.
Well don't forget to get some photos tomorrow mate & maybe a little video on the rollers!. @182_steve

Jekyll · Jul 20, 2017

Happy to meet up soon Steve. Be nice to get some pics of yours

MrBlonde · Jul 30, 2017

Went out this morning with Mark @Dr Jekyll,as he wanted to get a few photos of my cup,to give him practice with his camera.
So I also took a few photos with my compact camera while we were there.

These are the photos I took,Mark will post his up later this evening or in the next day or so.

Just to add,it wasn't fully clean.

182_steve · Jul 30, 2017

I prob will mate unless something comes along,but remap and seats next i think!

182_steve · Jul 30, 2017

Yeah you won't regret the map, your taking it to the right place

Jekyll · Jul 30, 2017

It sits perfect and looks great on the turinis.

I think they should stay also.

Jekyll · Jul 30, 2017

Will get pics up once I've edited a few. Was a good morning

So its Remap day with Engine Dynamics & more than happy with the results & service from Andy at ED.

Standard it made 174 & now its at 182Bhp!.which Andy said is a great result.
I didn't intend going for the remap for Bhp as i know its minimal as a N/A engine but this is a bonus.
Will post the graph up soon!

Sounds good, look forward to seeing the graph later, could definitely feel the difference in the 182 that had been remapped by ED that I took for a spin a few weekends ago, I need to get mine booked in soon :up:

MrBlonde · Sep 15, 2017
