First chance ive had to post up some pics of the new car.
Didnt have time to polish so just did a bit a swirl hiding with Blackhole and then a layer of Finish Kare 1000p sealent.
Very happy with the results, but long way to go, noticed quite a few swirl marks and light scratches that machine...
Hello guys couple of quick questions I hope
Am I right in thinking you cant buy a new unit for the 182 now?
Also if a buy 2nd hand one is there a certain version I should be looking for? and I assume I just need to get it unlocked and buy a map?:):)
Hey up guys.
Basically was planning on fitting coilovers to my 182 in near future but thinking perhaps this may be overkill for me plus £700+ for decent set is quite a bit.
So i thought well maybe some eibachs will do the job but car has done 44k now so may be worth while fitting new shockers...
As above my idle is about 850 - 900 going off rev counter.
When its sitting idle it resonates inside the car really loud. If i touch throttle slightly and take it to 1000rpm its nice a quiet.
Its starting to do my nut it coz its like that annoying noise you get with one window down...
Hello guys, Ive come home to the Renault sport scene after a brief affair with a Focus RS.
Ive just bought a LY 182.
Shes covered 44k so bits are bound to be getting tired.
Im probably going to fit coilovers - plan to track a couple times a year.
Also what other stuff should I be...
Sorry guys im sure its been asked before but just after peoples opinions.
im looking at RB or LY 182 but also Trophys are within budget so just wondering which would be best buy.
Am I right in thinking the struts need rebuilds on Trophys quite often?
And do trophy not have Xenons?
Any...
I know this is dependant on location etc but is there good places to try for insurance on a 182?
2-3 years ago I was insuring a 172 cup for £5-600 (22 years odl)
Now looking at insurance for 182 and im looking at £6-900 (25 years)
Im insuring a Focus RS for £430 at mo :eek::eek:
So you...
Hello,
About 3 years ago i sold my clio cup and and have been driving a focus RS since, now its time to sell that and i fancy coming back to the R sport scene, bang for buck seems to be good.
