Anyone fitted an OMP Cup Racer Strut Brace to a 182?

[ClioF1]

Was it a noticeable improvement?

Anything to watch out for with these regarding fitment?

Cheers,
Anthony

Can't be done IIRC as the Cup racers have different strut tops.

Regardless of the strut assembly being different, has anyone tried?

Do you mean the normal omp ones, like you'd find on ebay?

Some say they're just for looks, some say they've noticed a difference in stiffness. I find the clio's setup pretty stiff as it is, not sure you'd need one.

the "cup racer one" for OMP doesn't actually exist, they only did a 1 off prototype for pictures

I just bought one and its arriving in 2 weeks, the guy I got it from bought it directly from RSport in France.

The "prototype" for pics was for a 172 Ph1 I believe, its on the OMP website and its a different design.

I just hope this b*****d fits...

By the way does anyone have a pic of a Cup Racer engine bay?

It looks like there is some kind of lock ring to hold it down.

Let me know if you can I wouldnt mind sticking one on mine.

Here's the bit your talking about:

That one wouldnt fit a road car as the engine moves about too much on the softer mounts, it would bang on it big time. The one in the other pic might fit as it bends up over the engine more.

...interesting on that RS website the cup racer speedline wheels are €149.00 each which is about £70!!

Thanks for the pic Mark, it looks like a bit of a project to make it fit!

Looks good...prefer trying to make that fit than drilling holes in the cars suspension turrets.
