My RB 182 CUP

Hello

I have been on here for a while now and never really introduced myself lol, so thought now would be the time as I have recently made a few changes to my cup and it is looking gorgeous!!

I'm 21 from the Warwickshire area, currently working as a fitness instrucotr, but goin back to uni again soon.
Had my 182 for 8 months now and been dying to get to work on it, as I want to make it track-worthy. Theres lots to do to it but at least I have made a start.

Finally got round to taking some pics of a few changes I have made to the clio

So here are the recent changes I made....
ITG Maxoegn fitted (no pics of this yet as I want to paint the engine black and clean it all up under the bonnet)
OZ Racing Superturismo WRC's with Toyo T1-r tyres
Painted my badges white
Standard front grille (it used to be a horrible silver k-tec grille, known as the cheese grater lol)

Next on the to do list is: Brembo Max discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads, front splitter, camber bolts, suspension, bucket seat, strip out the back seats, new cams, remap and plenty more.....its certainly a work in progress and im going to track it eventually

Anyway here are some pics, would be great to hear what people think of it so far....

car looks good, and some good plans. Wheels really suit it, didn't think they would, but they look awesome!

sounds really good in the video aswell!

Loads better without the cheese graters and those other wheels. One extreme to the other, looks loads better for it!

If you were spending that money i'd go for H&Rs or ASTs! They are both highly rated on here!

Splitter first! ;)

Then it might be as good looking as mine....but you'd still need stripes... ;):eek:

Yer i know the H&R are highly rated, but look at the colour of them lol...perfect! haha

Yer splitter and brakes will be done next month along with the 36k service, month after will be suspension so have got plenty of time to decide.

Dont think mine would suit the white stripes though, would be too much going on with the white wheels and badges i think, but they do look good, not sure if yours is better looking though :rasp: lol

Oooooh very nice! Im abit jealous of that! lol
I need to clean mine, and get rid of the horrible red paint that the previous owner painted the plenum with :dead:
But i want to paint my engine and other bits black, will look tidy!

Somebody painted the plenum red!!!!! What were they thinking?????

Its easy to do just need to be really careful with masking it all off before you do it!! Was suprised how simple painting the engine cover was though!

So i get your approval even though its not a cup?? lol :)

Of course you do, it is lovely looking!

Yes im not sure what they were thinking, mind you it did have lexus lights on, horrible big alloys and a ktec grille!! I have saved it from chav hell lol! But at least I could see past all that as it was in mint condition!

Im going to take the engine out to paint it, will be easier that way!

Oh it was well on the way to chav central then.

I really dont like those ktec grills!!

Your taking the engine out to paint it, your brave lol!!!

Im having my inlets matched next week so while they have the inlets out I may have them polished. I think that might be a bit much though?

Yeah im having mine done at Jamsport in Northampton, really nice guys there!!! Having the uprated gaskets put on as well to reduce heat going into the inlets.

Please put some pics up of the red plenum!! haha or if it really is that bad pm me I gota see what a hash the previous owner made of it!!! :)
