Clio 182 Cup
Just thought I'd introduce myself on here, I'm Robin and I've actually been a member on here a while and used to work for a Northampton based tuning company who have done a fair bit with Clios over the years...
I've just bought myself a 182 with both cup packs for me and the wife (Anna) to use as a replacement for our BMW track car which neither of us really got on with.
So, here it is.
Picked it up last Monday night. It's a 182, which I think according to the internet means it's got about 118bhp or something :boggle:. It's got both Cup packs, some crappy lowering springs which are yellow and make it bounce like something from a hip hop music video, and a Ktec racing cat back exhaust.
Since picking it up, it's been serviced by some fat bald guy dressed like a blackcurrant
and at the same time I fitted a Pipercross panel filter and a Samco inlet elbow.
The oil was ok after the service...
The stripes are off, they were peeling on the roof, around the edges so I struggled for about 3 hours last night with a heat gun, tar remover and a clay bar to remove all the glue and crap left behind.
Much better!
So... The wife won some seats on eBay for an absolute bargain price in my opinion
Considering I was after Recaro Pole Positions, which look exactly like these, I'm well happy.
I've also just won some wheels on eBay, Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s in white, not my first choice but I don't want to spend Speedline money and at the money
I've paid for a brand new set, I can't complain too much.Just about to start looking for coilovers, then I'll get it all together and start using it properly.
