O£300 on a 182

[Pwillson]

If you had £300 to spend on a Clio 182. No cup suspension. What's the first mod/item you'd buy?
And not a penny more.

 

[Cliodan26]

id put it towards a major service

 

[colesy]

As above.

 

[DB.]

Headunit with iPod connection if you don't have this already.

If not - Id make sure it had a splitter, good condition alloys and cup spoiler.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Good tyres. Maybe some detailing products or a service.

 

[Pwillson]

It's just had a service. It's on 66k miles and had the Cambelt done at 52k.
Got the cup spoiler and a splitter. Very good alloys.

What do you want front the car?

Remap
Arb
Sport lines

 

[Pwillson]

Better handling mostly. Maybe a set of roadsprings and a decent headunit?

 

[Pwillson]

It's got enough power to keep me happy.

[Ricardinho]

put the cash under your matress for when something falls off of it.

 

[Pwillson]

Look now, your all being too sensible!

 

[Hixle]

Better handling mostly.

Set of sportlines and a Whiteline ARB in that case.

 

[Pwillson]

ARB?

 

[Joe#]

Anti roll bar

 

[DB.]

Whats the Headunit situation?

Remember you spend more time inside it than outside looking at it

 

[Gally]

Some Gtechniq detailing stuff and the rest taking me and oh out for dinner and drinks!

 

[MartinR]

Rstuner and sportlines

 

[jenic]

Whiteline RARB and a Sabelt RS wheel with boss.

I'd also start saving for some bilsteins.

 

[Gally]

A wheel should be the first mod on any Mk2 RS Clio.

A wheel should be the first mod on any Mk2 RS Clio.

I'm still using a std one, thought I'd be able to live with it but already miss the smaller one from my RB. Especially as every time I get in my mates cup I see him throwing it about with his tiny 300mm wheel

 

[Gally]

It just feels so positive with a smaller wheel. Especially on the Trophy.

 

[Martyn-172]

Petrol and maybe more petrol!!!

 

[Bluebeard]

Better steering wheel (I detest the standard one) and a track day.

 

[Pwillson]

Where can I get the RS Sabelt Wheel? Can anyone link it?

 

[dmallett]

West Renault sell them

Steering wheel and whiteline arb imo.

 

[bomber]

I'd go on holiday tbh. Put a zero on the end to make anything noticeable happen

 

[Will.]

Steering wheel
Sportlines
Rear anti roll bar
Freshen the shocks up if they are old
RS tuner reamp

Any of them will do.

 

[.GAZ.]

Put £500 on that and I'll sell you my R26 Recaro's.

 

[Pwillson]

What size is the Sabelt Steering wheel? Anyone got any pictures? How is it with the radio controls?

 

[Bluebeard]

What is the point of spending all this money on a car if you're not going to get it on track???

£100 steering wheel, £200 track day.

A new steering wheel will not affect the fingertip controls, i think you will loose the cruise control buttons though

 

[PP200t]

New exhaust because mines on its way out.

 

[Duffman_172]

Handling upgrades then test them out on a track day!

 

[ch!ppen]

People keep saying steering wheel but no aftermarket wheels offer the OEM feel

 

[Jimbo_M]

Sabelt wheel & Sportlines for me...two 'must have' mods on an RS IMO ofcourse.

 

[Pwillson]

Sportlines really make that much difference?

 

[Pwillson]

Okay how about a set of Eibach Sportlines and 172 cup suspension all round? (Running a 182 non cup)

 

[Austin-182]

Why waste money on a headunit? Aux ipod wire if anything.

Pictures would help people give you more opinions
