Cheers guys, it’s getting there.

Few jobs done on the cup... Used gtechnic trim restorer on the plastics, which came up great. Also removed the front bumper to fit a pair of new headlights, and fit a Skoda splitter as well. Much better! During: After:

I think the photo in the advert was the original Cup wheel. I bought a non cup wheel for Snappy to retrim and have the original in the garage.

Thanks! Yes I did. It was a dodgy non genuine brake light switch. It worked in that the bulbs came on, but the esp was getting the signal either too early or too late. Fitted an oe one and that fixed it. Phew!

Bit of an update on the Cup. I finished the wheels and put the H&Rs on. The car looks much better, but they are right on the limit of harshness for me. I even considered taking them back off before I got used to them. I’ve also fitted a new set of Michelin’s to the wheels, and they helped the...

Just found that the first owner was a Clio sport member, and sold it to the second owner who was also on here. Found the advert when the second owner sold it on: Old Advert

Don’t worry everyone, the stripes are staying! They were on from factory, and I like them too! I read loads and loads of threads on here about lowering springs, and the H&Rs seemed to have the best reviews, so I’ve ordered a set. 😁

Bit of an update for those that are interested... The major service is done, along with front discs and pads and a pair of OE track rod ends. I've also bought a cheap set of Turini's and I'm part way through refurbing them. Going Anthracite, but did consider white. I've also had my steering...

I’ve also replaced the gear knob, heater control panel and fitted the Renault Sport carpet mats: It’s starting to get to where I want it to be now! Jobs still to be done: Major service Diagnose abs, traction control and service lights coming on (code indicates an internal pump fault) Buy...

A whole day was spent wet vacuuming the interior and steam cleaning the seat belts which were absolutely minging! ?? Unfortunately no photos of this task either, but that maybe just as well! I also followed a suggestion on the forum to soak the radio screen surround in dettol to remove the...

The car was pretty good mechanically (or so I thought) but was quite rough cosmetically. First job to be completed was the parking dents taken out by a painless dent removal guy. Unfortunately I have no photos of this. Next was a replacement parcel shelf: Then, some silvervision bulbs and...

It has been suggested that a project thread on my recently acquired 182 Cup might be well received and would provide me with a reminder of the journey of getting the car back up together... Found on Facebook, I purchased the car from a guy in Glastonbury, nice and local to me. I was looking...

No probs. I’m late for everything, so a 6 year turn around isn’t too bad in all honesty! ? The work has started. Spent all day cleaning the car today. The inside was fairly gopping! Not sure if the car calls for a project thread though? I think I’m doing the same things every 1*2 owner is doing!

Hi (again)! ? Back in the Clio fold having just bought another 182 Cup. Started my Clio affair when I bought a 172 Cup brand new back in 2003, then a 182 Cup and ph1 vee and a ph1 172 I bought and built into a tarmac rally car. Back once again with an 05 reg RB purchased yesterday. It’s a bit...

Cheers! I have uploaded the video to Youtube again with better results, so try this version instead. I will be deleting the other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFJqxYiWE7E

Video: Watch out for the 1/4 spin! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jzedSTRF-s Working on the quality now though. :)

Finally a quiet day at work, so I now have time to reply to a few comments. I think I have sorted out the in car, so I'm just uploading it to youtube now. I hope the quality is ok! As I mentioned above, I was out and about doing some road miles. I take it you are fairly local? I work at...

Photos: Movie maker is still being a git. I can load the clips, edit them and then watch the storyboard all fine, but as soon as I click publish it crashes. :mad:

Well, both the car and me survived! :D Had a good day, and the car performed faultlessly. In the end I finished 6th in class, and showed improvement every time I went out. As a bonus Russel Brookes was there competing in his ex works Manta, so I can genuinley say I have competed against a...

The rally sprint is at Weston airfield. If you head to Weston europark (BS24 9AA) and go past the security gate, to the end of the road, turn left then follow the road right you'll end up in the service area. Not sure how much you'll be able to see from there, as there are no spectator...

Yeah, I was out and about today trying to complete some road miles. The car is more or less done, just a couple of little jobs to do tomorrow, so i will post an update then. :)

Nerves make you do stupid things... A mate of my dad's was on the start line once, selected a gear, his navigator gave a count down 3-2-1 and he shot off backwards into the next car in the queue for the start line! I tend to find that as soon as the lights go green, the nerves dissapear. The...

Spent a few hours on the car tonight, and raised the springs on the front, but still need to do the tracking. The wheel arch liner turned up, so I fitted that, and I also fitted the rear pads. The next night I have on the car is Thursday, so nothing like last minute! Hopefully I'll track the car...

Cheers guys! :D The dash top is really easy to take off... 3 torx screws along the top of the dash, and then 2 on either side. Then pull the dash top towards you to release. Yeah, can't wait but still bricking it! :S I cut the dash top in half through the middle of the centre screw...

Despite the lack of updates, I have been carrying on, whittling away at my to do list. Running out of time now as my event is just 1 week away! :eek: Anyway, since my last update I have done the following: Made and fitted the mudflaps for the front and rear, and also the sill stand covers...

Yeah there is. If you go to www.renault-sport.com and hover the mouse over the "Shop" at the right hand of the menu bar, then click on "Spare parts" on the grey menu bar beneath it should load and download the ad on.

The exhaust is still bolted to the car using rubber "cotton reels" so that it will move and expand ok hopefully. Used a similar mounting method on my old XR2, and that worked ok. Not sure if they came out in the photos. I actually ordered the spacers from the S1600 rally car rather than the...
