Do you know this inferno NY05 RXS?

[bebo-joe]

Guys, anyone know this car? Was going to buy it tomorrow evening, just looking some more info on it. I think the previous owner was a member. Serviced last year and belted at Clio Turbo. Looks like Ktec top mounts. Has a K-Tec exhaust system too. Is it a good car?
Its got 90k on it now. Seems cheap enough.

Thanks in advance.

Front headlights aren't genuine.

I seen this, will need to get a pair of genuine in it. Just sold my 200 there today and spotted this. Its like a third car for messing with and ideally i would like a BG 182 but being in N.Ireland we need to travel to get one. If I was going across the water it would have to be well priced and a good car.

@chrisparker94 I believe owned it. The joys of it being so rare and what a scan at google images can do.

First mod change the number plates?

 

[mossyv6]

Looks nice. How much is it?

And headlights can be quickly changed.

that clio turbo stamp in the service history probably isn't worth the paper its written on.

I wouldn't rush into changing the headlights unless it really bothers you or they're some horrid chav-spec ones.

 

[bebo-joe]

Bought it, has a few mods which the guy knew nothing about. Headlights are usless, dark roads out arond the north coast here and I could see nothing. My daily is a MK7 Golf R so it may be im used to that.
Ktec Ultra non res exhaust & decat
Brembo HC discs and DS2500 pads
Silly open intake, sucking all the hot air in. Whats best? Standard with panel filter?
KTec solid top mounts
Dog bone twist bush mount
Eibach springs
Hell brake lines
Rear spacers
RS Tuner remap - not 100% on this but it sounds and does exactly like the youtube vids plus flames when hot
RR print out showing 175bhp and 157 ft/lb
92k miles super service history
£2000 and I laughed all the way home. The pops and bangs.

How loud are you finding the ktec ultra non res with decat in the cabin? I have the same setup and above 3k it seems asbo loud.

Looks nice! The headlights are angel eyes they don't look to bad on that picture

Ultra is the 2.5 version? So yeah will be loud.
I have the supersports 2.25 non res with decat and it's spot on.

Yeah it's 2.5. I'm going to get a centre section with resonator made up and see if that brings the noise down a bit, put the cat back on if it's still too loud and hope it doesn't affect the map too much. I must be getting old, I would have loved all the noise back in the day.

Brutal. Its loud. I will have to do something with it. With the pops and bangs when its warm its super loud bangs. Proper shotgun shots out the back. I need it dulled down a little so a mid box should help.

 

[bebo-joe]

Would love some new wheels, ideally keeping it to a budget buying all used stuff. Love the idea of 15" OZ F1 but may reduce grip. The car has a FF half leather interior. I would like to get rid of this and go for the cup cloth or some buckets.

Never did I think the 182 would go so well and be so much fun. Way more fun than my Golf R.

 

[imprezaworks]

Why do you think 15's will reduce grip?

It's not just me then. I Might get some soundproofing put in boot and under rear seats as well as the silencer added but don't want to add too much weight. Either that or just replace the exhaust with a silenced 2.25. Mine only pops and gurgles when warm and above 5k (which is rarely at the moment as it makes my ears bleed) does yours have the pop and bang remap?

 

[bebo-joe]

I just think a 195 50 15 wont have the same contact as a 205 45 16. I may be wrong.

I think so, once warm and you rev over 5k and lift of the pops and bangs are insane. Plus I have a print out for 175 bhp on the RR, which im told is good for a mapped 182. A mate has an rb 182 and this made me go buy one. Being in N.I there is not many to choose from so inferno it was.

Handles better mate.

 

[bebo-joe]

Handles better mate.

I shall get some OZ F1s if I see at set at the right money. I need a refurbed gear box if you know of any. Seen one on eBay but guy doesnt know for sure if its been done, he got it with his car and its all cleaned and painted. He was told it was. Tempted by it.

 

[imprezaworks]

If anything go for 205 instead of 195. I'm more than happy with 195 btw

See if @NorthloopCup knows of any going

Found the car from another member. Ten owners and two are on here so far. It does have pops and bangs RS tuner map.

Good find! how did you come across that? I have only managed to find one previous owner on here for mine so far. I've searched my reg and google images but not had much luck. Mines had 10 owners too, the same guy has owned mine twice though.

I just looked to see if I could find an inferno thread as other forums have had a colour based thread. Just seen the car, reg blanked out but few things the same. Clicked the name and then went to posts by xxx and see his thread. The guy I bought it from didn't have a clue but thats three of the owners. It made it better as I now know all the mods it has or at least I think i know them all.
I dropped the car off with the mechanic tonight as I want to get the gearbox refurbished, brakes done, new headlights and maybe new shocks and springs. I would like it as fresh as possible for that oem+ look.

[imprezaworks]

Bought it then?

 

[bebo-joe]

That’s her just after a good overhaul. I have her a year and done very little until last week. Now with 12 months MOT.

Fitted new cup shocks and cooksport springs, new hubs/bearings up front, new solid top mounts from ktec, poly engine mount, pbs pads with Bembo hc discs, ferodo 5.1 fluid (taken from a mate for his rally cars), new battery etc etc. Drives like a new car again. Have some NS2R tyres to go on here too.

 

[cat171]

Looks the same as in last year's pic ?

 

[davo172]

Only just seen this thread saw clioturbo in the historybook and was going to say FFS DON'T buy it !! ? but I see you have and been ok .

 

[bebo-joe]

That pic was before I bought it, new lights and grill fitted.

Never heard of them, just that the work was done. Pops & Bangs map sounds like it will do damage though. Bought an RS tuner and map minus this to install.

 

[imprezaworks]

Won’t it have a custom map?

 

[Simon998]

Previous thread says it has the RSTuner chav map @imprezaworks

Where abouts in NI are you? Fancy heading to the RMS wild west run on the 19th of August? https://rmsmotoring.com/forum/threads/rms-wild-wild-west-run-19th-august.206596/

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah. With clio turbo mentioned assumed it was turbo.

 

[davo172]

Ah. With clio turbo mentioned assumed it was turbo.

It wouldn't of been still running after a whole 12 months had past without breaking at least 8 times if it was turbo they had built !! ??

No idea. Not a clue.

Just outside Coleraine. Possibly would go a run, although that’s the track day at kirki. If I’m going on a run out the 996 Turbo will make an appearance. Will have a look on RMS. cheers

Your 996 Turbo will fit in nicely. There's a lot of heavy machinery on RMS these days.
