So whats the difference??

Hi Guys,

Bought myself a 2004 clio 182 With both the cup packs fitted.

Just wondering what actually the cup packs change from the standard 182?!

Thanks for feedback :clown:

Cup packs mean new springs and ampers all round and new hubs at the front with stronger bearings and different hub spacing also the car runs more camber.

Different colour wheels.
Cup rear spoiler.
Different suspension I believe.

Not 100% sure but think that's about it! Hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoy my mk1 172

Thanks guys,

Certainly am enjoying it. Had a fabia vRS before and handles way better than it, but is slower

Hmm i had a Fabia vRS and the 182 is much faster.

 

[makavelli]

the 182 should be faster than a standard vrs! did yours have a remap?

Probably because you're used to driving a diesel. Putting your foot down at 1.5k rpm and expecting power isn't the way to drive a 182. Let the revs build, especially above 4k and you'll soon realise it's a faster car.

Yep agreed. Normal day to day driving you could be forgiven for thinking the vRS feels faster (it does).... the Clio needs to be driven with intent, but when it is, its definitely a lot faster.

If it had a remap it would be closer, but in the end, there'd still be very little in it.

Yes
Yes
Very Yes
Plus little chin spoiler on the front and the hub stuff as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

LOL at the 'slower' comments. Typical oil burner driver. Not used to revving it over 4k!!

Hehe yeh my fabia surprised a lot of people!

It was remapped to 170bhp and 300ft/lbs torque but with al that weight, the understeer was horrendous!

Great power though!! :clown:

The fabia still wouldnt be quicker. You might think it was, and day to day it would be, but flat out there wouldnt be anything in it TBH.
