Who here owns a Renaultsport?

Welcome to the world of owning a 182 :p
Well, for me at least, it's been constant problem solving, haha!

Get some pics/videos up of the exhaust when it's all running properly.

For the brief air filter discussion above a test was done by a certain magazine, can't remember which, and the article is on CS (engine & exhausts subsection). They tested a few different filters, put each one on a RR and found that the difference was minimal and quite often resulted in a power/torque drop due to the standard airbox being already well designed. Spend the cash on brakes instead :)

Panel filter in the standard airbox or replacement of the standard airbox with a Clio V6 or Espace airbox seems to be a common choice.

Yup, I've got one (panel filter) from my remap. Best mod I did was Brembo HC discs, DS2500s & braided lines. Can't rate them enough.

Ordered the KTR replacement cat/manifold fitting set tonight, hopefully that will turn up saturday, and should be able to replace the cat with the decat on sunday. I'm a bit disappointed with the sound of the exhaust at the moment tbh, it barely sounds any different to the stock exhaust. Hopefully this is due to the broken cat (if it is that), and once with the decat on, should sound good. Sounds nothing like video's i saw though :(
 
Is it a Yozza?? You need a decat!!! It will sound much much better. My Miltek decatted sounds mint. Not chavvy at all, a very distinctive note! :)
 
Ok thanks for the help with the cambelt guys all booked in at Rs tunning..... :)

Next ive got some new seats coming in the post a pair of sparco R300s anyone got these ?

i realy need to get the seat lower in the car as im a long chap and need to make room for the bash hat as this cars being setup for trackdays starting 26th feb at my local track Cadwell park :)

cant wait
 
I think theres a way of lowering the seat. Something to do with removing some washers on the bolts that hold the subframes in.

I think mines already been done as i'm 6'3" and have no problems with the seating position but other people say it really bad for taller guys.

I was hoping to own this car for at least 5 months before someone drives into it....no such luck :(

Seems like 182 owners have no luck at the moment. Getting mine back tomorrow, not looking forward to the bill :( On the bright side at least i eventially found a garage that could diagnose and fix it.
 
Bugger, who drove into you? Is the damage bad?

From that video, it sounds a bit farty. Are the exhaust joints leaking/blowing at all?

Mine is leaking big time right now, fortunately I'm at JMS on Monday to get the cat mod done, I'm worried the car will be too loud as I'll be removing the centre silencer from my Milltek so I have a straight through to the back boxes. Should eliminate the blowing at least :)

This is a video from someone else who has had it done:

 
Chose this car in particular because the bodywork was absolutely mint, grrrr. Normally park at work in a private space, arrived to work this morning to find someone already in it. Couldn't be late today so parked in the multi-story across the road. So gutted, ******* didn't leave a note. Must have really slammed the door into my car, its a lot bigger than it looks.

I got one like that months ago.

Been meaning to get the door card off to pop it out. Thats been more gashed in than mine by the looks of it though.

Annoying indeed!
 
I'd be gutted if that happened to me. I always park as far away as possible if necessary in order to get away from inconsiderate people like that.

Have you had any quotes to fix it?
