Clio number 10, RB 182 Cup

Well following on from selling the flamer for a R53 Mini Cooper S I lasted days before wanting another clio! But having had Ph1s for pretty much ever I thought it was a good chance to try a newer one but if I was to then it had to be RB. Had a good look at another few colours as well a bit more local but my mind was made up.

So yesterday I left work early and got the train down to near Leeds to meet @bashracing and picked up this, the first few pics are all his

And the current spec is
  • CamBelt Dephaser and Water pump replaced on the 31/01/14 by DDC with receipt
  • OZ f1's with Toyo R1R on the front and AD08 on the rear all with 5-6mm remaining
  • Brand new Genuine Renault cup shocks with new top mounts
  • Brand new Eibach Sportlines springs
  • Air Con delete using the 172 cup Alternator set up with new belt
  • Low mileage Full Fat 182 interior in mint condition
  • Brand new Valeo clutch kit
  • Scenic shifter set up with Quaife gear knob
  • Full Stainless exhaust with a silenced de cat
  • 129,000 miles
After the 200+ mile drive home last night in all weathers its not looking quite so clean today!

Looking after my daughter today so play time is severely reduced, that and it keeps on snowing! All I've done so far is remove that door protector, the Sony HU and the 3M wrap on the hazard panel

Got a few plans for it and will probably sell some bits of it on too.

So the bits I'm selling will be a RB engine cover, carbon fibre dash trims and rear wiper surround, spacers and the door badges. The wheels and tyres will also be going back to Dave, I really don't need an 8th set! And if anyone wants the stereo they can come to my house with some beer and take it away!

What I'd like to do to it in no particular order but probably cheapest things first
  • splitter
  • new gear gaiter
  • re position the shifter so it sits further back and closer to me
  • fit my Alpine bluetooth stereo
  • replace the bits that I'm selling above
  • get my anthracite willys refurbed so they're in good nick and put them on
  • Sabelt, preferbly get an old tatty one and get it refurbed in leather
  • ph1 stalk and wiper stalk with the intermittent speed adjuster
  • and eventually rear cage, buckets and harnesses
We'll see how it goes though, need to sell the mini before I do anything that costs money to it!

Hi john, was looking at the flamer the other day at Stu's, very nice mate and drives an pulls very well...... Hopefully this will be no different, can wait to see it at knockhill.

RB was my choice before the trophy turned up..... They just look special!

Nice, shame it's not an FF, not sure if that's what you wanted anyway!

Very nice you big Ghey x

Thanks babes x

Wasn't too fussed tbh, I hate auto wipers and xenons are easier to add than they are to remove! 182 cups seem a really weird spec, it has cruise control ffs!

Couple of things I want to add but already have as well are silvervisions for the front (will take them back from the mini, they were in the flamer!) and fit the whiteline thats in my shed, also from the flamer.

Sorry missed that. Cheers, I'll always miss that car! For a basically standard car it always went well!

Can't help myself, sat in the house bored after putting the wee one to bed so nipped out and removed the alpine from the mini and refitted the standard one and then fitted the Alpine to the RB. It's only minus 2 and pitch black. I need a better hobby.

Really nice this, i was looking at it a while ago and debated going to see it as i only live 20 mins away from it and then it went. So going to see another RB on saturday with first refusal, dont want to miss out again!! Love the colour!
Good luck with it, looks like a great motor!

It's longer so makes reach easier @jesus

Apparently makes it feel much better. There is a kind of group buy going for them

Nice buy, John.

Never understood why these were only 20kg's lighter than normal 182's.. Thats half a tank of fuel lol.

Aye there's f**k all cup about them! Seems to have tar sound deadening unlike a 172 cup as well. This one at least has the ac delete like a proper one and the nicer ff seats so it's a pretty decent compromise for me. The lack of auto wipers is a bonus in my eyes!

Soon enough bro.

You happy with it? Pulls well?

Shame you sold that old leather sabelt of yours. There is a nearly new one in excellent condition with momo boss and stalk in the sale section for £185.

I'm sure it will be Dan, just a shame it's sheet ice out so I've still not actually driven it since getting it home!

Done a few wee things to it today but I'll update later when I have pics of it all

Hard to say Martin, only done 200 odd miles in it. I knew the flamer inside out and obviously don't have that yet. Seems to pull well though but how much of that is shorter gearing I don't know.

Thanks Lou, it seems a love or hate colour to non car folk so far!
