RB 182 Cup - just purchased!

[mini_nick]

Hi all,

This is my 5th RS clio, pleased with it so far, needs some sorting but it should make a good one!

Its an 05 with 51k on the clock, got Recaro's fitted too. Its also got a Scorpion cat back and sports cat (fitted by previous owner)

So far have had a 4 wheel alignment, I fitted two new rear shocks at the weekend.

Plans are to fit new rear discs and pads, Brembo HC front discs with DS2500 pads. Change head unit to Alpine MP3 - then leave it alone!

Here are a couple of phone pics...

[chris182cup]

I'm after another rb 182, both cup packs though I don't think if be happy with a 182 cup.

Looks nice though

Looks nice, just needs centre caps for the wheels.

 

[chris182cup]

There's centre caps on eBay at the mo, probably from this car

 

[mini_nick]

Cheers - I have the centre caps, I had just taken them off when I cleaned all the wheels. Also want some new exhaust mounts as its hanging a bit low!

Anyone know what sort of money it is for a 197 steering wheel?

 

[*shig*]

niiiice!!

Best colour mate! By far! Welcome to the RB club

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice indeed .

 

[aldo_87]

Please correct me im im wrong but im sure i read a 197 steering wheel is around the £150 mark

Looks great! i had a RB 182 cup, loved the car, hated the interior. But RB makes up for it!

Get some xenons units off a FF182 makes a massive difference.

 

[mini_nick]

Yeah I know what people are saying about the interior, but the Recaro's make up for it!

What sort of money do xenons go for?

Was IIRC £5k!

As I was going to buy it, then you stole it off me - git

 

[Begbie]

Not sure how to edit! But I misread the last post! DOH!

Nice car, as I said I was intrested in it myself. Glad to see you found the right motorway!

 

[Davis]

when i put xenons units in my old RB cup the units were £140 of somone on here and i put a 6k hid kit from ebay in them which was £60 so £200 all in!

Were you there when I went to pick it up?!

Nightmare situation, in the centre of glasgow with no map and using my (flat) Iphone for satnav!

Looks great. Recaros are a nice addition.

Best colour :approve:

Your 5th RS Clio? What do you do, eat them?

I know, it does sound bad, but I generally try and run them for a bit then sell them before they lose any money, plan on keeping this one for a while though. Started with a 172 ff, then a 197 r27, then a 182 ff with cup packs, then a 197 ff and now this one! Im quite a fan of them!

Yes mate, was looking at yours orginally. Was considering it before you pinched it!

Nice car in the flesh, those seats were lovely.

If you've had 5 you should know your models better than that :dapprove:

 

[jamesburrows]

sick colour!

What do you mean? :S 197 ff technically not correct but it wasn't a cup!

 

[Revels]

'172 ff' and '182 ff with cup packs' are both wrong too! Lol.

 

[mini_nick]

'172 ff' and '182 ff with cup packs' are both wrong too! Lol.

Ah right, the 172 was not a cup (standard) and the 182 was not a cup but had cup packs whatever that makes them?!

 

[Revels]

It makes it a 172 and then a 182 FF. FF meaning the cup packs.

 

[*shig*]

i didnt realise ff meant cup pack!! but then i am a girl!!!

 

[Revels]

It's a ClioSport made up thing. Someone said it once and it seems to have stuck.

FF - full fat.

 

[mini_nick]

Ah I always assumed that a 172 (ph2) ff was a fully loaded 172 as in climate, leather / alcantara etc. Same as a 182. Shows how much I know

Either way I enjoyed driving them! This one feels the liveliest out of all of them I have had!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I wish that someone had said "182 CP" i.e cup packs, other wise just assume its a Cup.

 

[Revels]

Nope.

It's FF for the cup packs. The suspension and spoiler packs. You couldn't change those on the 172. So it's a 172 or a 172 Cup. But then for the 182 you have a 182, 182 FF and then a 182 Cup.

ok i have a 182 cup then!! i am confused now!! :S

 

[sam55]

That's goergeous! I'm looking at a near identical one this weekend and seeing these pics has made me want it more!
Just wondering do the 182 cups come with the cruise control, trip computer and traction control normal 182s have?

 

[scott.p]

Best colour, I love my rb 182 (ff however)
