noob from stoke

[robhoops]

Hiya there everyone, my name is Rob, I bought a clio 182 in black just over 2 months ago and thought I better join up here... already had some of the joys the clio has to offer like a whole new exhaust, so my wallet is feeling a little empty...

Going from a 1 litre seat arosa to a clio 182 was very fun indeed

If im right Its not a cup as it has the toys that comes with the car, it has has the grey alloys, front splitter, but not the cup spolier. Yeah i have got some pics of it.. Full service history, luckily it has had its belts changed before i bought it and just done its 75k on the clock... I also believe one of the previous owners were part of the Cliosport Club member as i i have the bottle opener along with the cliosport window stickers

Single outlet steath exhaust?At least the belts are done,how about water pump and dephaser?My 172 has been a bit of a cash cow,has never let me down,just pre emtive maintance and some worn bits ,but I`m happy it will last me a few years.Only car I have had in years that I take for a drive just for the hell of it,ENJOY.

couldnt tell you what the exhuast is the dephaser has been done not too sure about the water pump.. Was looking at getting a 172, but decided for the 182 as its slighter newer and the biggest reason, I like the dual exhaust Well thats just your general wear and tear as you said, also bought a new headlight washer as that was missing when i bought the car... I agree with you about driving the hell out of it.. I try to be a little bit fuel efficient, but that goes out the window when you start to hit 5000rpm

2 exhausts about 2 foot apart?Sounds like a cup to me.

 

[DrR]

What's exhaust got to do with cup or not???

hard to tell as picture is awful.

 

[Mr R.]

WTF????

The twin exhaust just means it's a 182, got fcuk all to do with being a cup or not.

 

[robhoops]

I know picture is awful, will get some better ones soon... I dont think it is a cup to be honest, just a 182 with the cup front splitter... has the xenons, speed limiter climate control...

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

No its not a cup mate, just a 182 with maybe a cup pack or two, although looks to be missing the rear cup spoiler

Kidsgrove and Weston Coyney Stokies? Stokie wannabees maybe
Now getting woken up by the fpita bell ringers at Stoke Minster on a Sunday morning? Proper stokie :rasp:

There's a West Midlands group meet doing a rolling road dyno day at Viezu on the2nd August if you fancy meeting some i̶n̶b̶r̶e̶d̶s Brummies and the Coventry lot.
If you ask @MartinR nicely he might even be able to find you an empty slot to have your car dynoed too.

One of the commissioning engineers I work with is from Bristol and was stopping at the North Stafford Hotel a couple of weeks ago so I took him for a drink up Hanley.
He couldn't believe how empty the place was on a Wednesday night compared to Bristol, he did like ST1 mind and wants a return visit :evil:
