new guy

[Stu_182]

Hi everyone I'm stuart I signed up here a year ago looking for a 172 cup but ended up not getting one as the insurance was to high. So a year on I rolled my saxo onto its roof at knockhill (first track day) and started looking for a new car. Got myslef a 182 with both cup packs minus the front splitter (ordered a k-tec carbon one) 32k 54plate im happy to say the least.



gutted though as I can't drive it untill the 22nd when my old insurace runs out.

[Craig.H]

nice motor!

pics of saxo??

 

[Stu_182]

I live up at colinton mains near oxgangs area.

As requested




Think you'll all be glad to see it wasn't a chav wagon.
So far from the little amount of driving the Clio it seems similar for pace but power delivery is totally different.

 

[N0ddie]

How and where did you roll the saxo?

 

[Stu_182]

Knockhill, don't know what the corner is called it's the wee off camber right that takes you up to the chicane. It was pelting it with rain and my inexperience showed the back end slid out and I span onto the grass the front wheel dug in and put it on it's roof.

Does this section have regular meets?

Also being a noob to the Clio scene anyone able to reccomnd an exhaust system I've been looking at the yozzasport,k-tec,piper,miltek,rs 192 systems and I'm finding it hard to work out which one is best.

welcome

 

[Craig.H]

That's really unlucky with the saxo! The clio goin on track?

In regards to exhausts, I run a yozza with decat and its brilliant, very loud but a good quality exhaust!

 

[Stu_182]

Yeah just bad luck on crashing but I've ended up with a great Clio can't wait to get it on track but only going on if it's dry.

I ran a de-cat race centre section and piper backbox on the saxo and that was very loud so looking for something quoted than that,I'll need to hear the difference between the brands I'm not to big a fan of raspy exhausts.
Looking to get a set of turinis on the car in the next few weeks too

 

[jaym1806]

hi mate i have the k-tec recessed supersport exhaust with de-cat and no middle silencer and it sounds amazin

 

[R20 CWH]

yozzasport is a good shout, but hard to get one nowadays.

Colinton Mains, know it well, least you have a driveway for the car as the streets are really narrow and can get dinged/ scratched quite easily with passing traffic. My other halves sister stays there.

 

[Stu_182]

Can you not get a yozzasport direct from their website?

It's not my drive just borrowed it off my neighbour but my street is quite wide so should be ok, thinking of making a driveway though.

 

[Craig.H]

im at knockhill on sunday mate, should pop up and here the yozza

it is rather raspy though, not pug sport style though.

website is errr well shall we say it humped. I genuinely dont think you will get one as the UK distributor is on here and Iv spoke to him and they are struggling with demand. Also the guy behind Yozzasport is away in Australia, so kinda 'wrapped it'

 

[Stu_182]

is it just a hothatch day?

pugsport is waaayy to raspy for my liking so the yozzasport might be a good choice.

 

[Craig.H]

yea just a hot hatch day mate

 

[twingors]

Welcome mate!

 

[Stu_182]

Thanks for all the welcomes

See what you mean about yozzasport I had a search about and noticed what you were saying. Hope you guys don't mind but can I just ask loads of basic questions in this thread so I don't end up starting loads of new topics all over the forum.

It seems like the standard ecu can be mapped can any place do it? Is there anywhere local that is good?

Will turinis that are et40 fit my car ok?

Will I notice much difference between 195 tyres and 205 ?(my tyres have budget 205s on ATM)

Think that will do me for now lol. I've been searching about trying to find the answers

 

[jackfm]

Can't answer question one, but Those Turinis will fit. They are the aftermarket spec offset as opposed to the standard cup spec. I'm sure there are hundreds of photos of clios with them on on here.

And as for tyres. 172 cup+non cup +182 all come with 195 profile as standard, Trophey's come with 205. 195 are a little nicer profile as they dont bulge out the sides as much but there's definately nothing wrong with 205's

Hope this helps.

 

[Stu_182]

Thanks mate :y:

Just wanted to be sure when it came to the wheels going to get a set asap because I'm not a big fan of the 182 wheels.

My k-tec carbon splitter arrived today so will get that fitted at the weekend and probs do an oil and filter change to.

 

[Stu_182]

fitted my splitter at the weekend and I'm happy how it looks, just 9 more days to wait until I can drive the car

could try falkland performance in glenrothes, or if you fancy the road trip RS Tuning in Leeds
