Looking for 182
I've posted this in media as well, but I may as well keep this up to date 
After seeing a few other members having a similar mod done, and getting really fed up of my exhaust blowing, I took my car to see Tom and James at JMS. They have done a fantastic job and I am over the moon with how the car feels, and how it sounds.
It might just be placebo, but the car feels so much more....I don't know, solid I guess. The exhaust sound is PERFECT when inside the car. There is a really really nice deep noise when putting your foot down, and it's just loud enough to cover the noisy engine, but not so loud that my ears feel like they are going to bleed.
I'm actually surprised how raspy it sounds from the video below, it's a much deeper noise inside.
Anyway, here are the photos:
Video / Before (standard Milltek cat-back, with a rattley noise which I believe was caused by a rusted clamp/bolts):

So yeah, I am very happy. Most of all with the fact my exhaust now isn't blowing, yay

Sound Loud but nice!

SS this is the sort of sound I'm looking for, thanks for posting the vid

No problem
It really does sound completely different in the car compared to those videos though, worth mentioning. On the motorway coming back from JMS it didn't seem to drone either. Yeah, it was a bit louder when putting your foot down, but it was just about right

I just replied to your PM, but I may as well post here as well.
Not sure on the part number, but I bought it from these guys on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-F1-Te...CarParts_SM&hash=item25613812bf#ht_733wt_1139

Yeah I'd definitely recommend it. I know it makes it a little bit harder to go back to standard if I come to sell it, but it was definitely worth it. To not have the exhaust blowing is a blessing, but the extra noise is brilliant.
Looking for 182
hehe, you did indeed, and you couldn't have been more right
I would hope it wasn't a problem with the exhaust, as it had only been on a week or so when that video was made
Random picture from today, no different to the others though really, it's clean though so a good excuse to post one!:

I took it to Elite in Rainham at the weekend to get the alignment done.
Before
After
Not sure why one of the things is still red, they said that one isn't adjustable, and it might be out because it had knocked a kerb or something in the past. Not sure if this is something to worry about or not.
The car does feel better, it goes straight for a start
I also just did a quick (terrible) photoshop and have managed to convince myself this is what I need to do!!!
The silver wheels look a bit blue, but you get the idea!
As it stands
Terrible PS job
Thoughts?

Looks good as it is imo, save your money i think

Yeah you're probably right, I really need to stop putting money into this car and just enjoy it

Good job, the back being out isn't the end of the world and there's not too much you can do about it really.
I need to get mine back down there now, since me and Budgie knocked my tracking out
As for the wheels, silver look great, but the current colour looks by no means bad.
If I were you (and they're not kerbed to f**k, I wouldn't bother)

Minor update, I got the bullets sprayed
My group buy adjustable ARB also arrived today, so hopefully I can fit that this weekend at some point

It definitely feels better now it's aligned, it feels more predictable which is good, so I'm glad I got it all sorted.
I fitted the ARB this afternoon, it took a while, but it's on and I am SO happy with it. I know people question KTEC coilovers, and the whole time I have had them I have too, as I've never been as confident in the car with them on as I was when I was on cup suspension or Sportlines, but now it feels AMAZING! I am so so so happy I bought it. I can't wait to give it a proper run out tomorrow morning on the way to work.
Considering my front tyres are on the legal limit (need to replace soon), and it's wet out, I was amazed at how planted to the road it felt.
Another exterior shot for the hell of it, as I am very happy with it right now

I've had it remapped already, and I'm not really planning anything else now. I just need a couple of new tyres up front and a proper clean (hopefully getting a DA polisher at the end of the month) and I'll be ready for summer.
I've spent far too much on it, so now I need to enjoy it

Remap
Milltek Cat-Back
JMS Induction (which I was told would probably lose me some power as it was very hot)
Errmmm, that's about all I can think that would impact on my RR result.
Looking for 182
I'd highly recommend it. You do lose that kick, but as the graph above shows you get a much smoother delivery of power. I prefer it with the remap.
Clio 1.2 16v Dyna
got alot of time for this motor! just out of interest what soap did you use to clean it in the pics above?
Looking for 182
Thanks dude. I've always used AutoGlym Shampoo, however I've just bought some Meguiars Hyper wash so will be using that for the foreseeable future
