Who here owns a Renaultsport?

I don't like the stickers Gustov, sorry :(

That is a lot less than I paid, perhaps it's still off season.

Roads seem narrow because just about every road is a B road. As a result though, there are some cracking roads about.

Busses are a pain in the arse over here, they don't go everywhere but they are badly organised and ridiculously expensive - it is cheaper to drive.

Yeh it seemed to be quite expensive and they wouldn't sell us a return ticket, so cost us £7 each to get from Ryde - Sandown - Ryde.
 
The RB Cup I was looking at has sold.

Have seen another 182FF, silver but with 70k miles on it. Condition is good, not sure on timing belt changes or what tyres on it yet. But going to check it out.

£3400 a good price?
 
I hate to say this, but I think I'm getting bored out the Clio already... it's a good car, good engine, handles nicely, just feels too... normal. There is nothing massively defining about it inside or out.

I could lower it, Milltek/Yozza exhaust, but I don't know if it'd be worth it. Maybe I just need to take it for a good drive early one morning at the weekend. Any one got any suggestions for bringing the love for the car back? :)

Might be going to Wales soon, so maybe the lovely Welsh roads will help me enjoy it again!

The trouble I have, is that I drove a crap car for nearly 8 years, with no real interest in cars due to lack of money. Then I got my 182 nearly a year ago, and have a taste for something a bit more fun, so now I'm massively excited about what my next car could be, which is probably why I've tried to keep things exciting with the Clio by spending so much money on it!

No, sorry.

Wouldn't bother driving out to Wales, save the fuel costs and put it towards an Integra DC5, they're dropping in price.
 
It'd be good to see how/if I'd enjoy the Clio more if I was to throw some money at it... but if I don't then that's some money down the pan! Would you recommend lowering and the ARB set up like you have?

Since I had my old Honda CRX I've been in to more raw feeling cars... to me, this makes a car more fun and enjoyable. I had a Celica after that, but as nice as it was it didn't have the fun factor that I liked. I got the Integra which ticked all the boxes, but unfortunately was a money pit (engine was never spot on etc).

I've always liked these Clio 182's and I'm definitely glad I've been able to have one as I've been after one for a while... it's fun, handles very well out the box, just feels to normal. The seating position, power delivery etc. I think the DC2 is still too fresh in my mind and I'm not enjoying the 182 because of it, maybe I will just give it a couple of months!

DC5 I would love... still costs more than I could afford right away. Alternatively, I could borrow the money and pay back gradually. I could hold out for one in a couple of months. I'm currently in the process of moving out from home, so a loan wouldn't be the wisest thing right now!
 
As with the stickers, I am going to have to disagree with you Gustov. But at the end of the day its your car. And who am I to comment anyway, I'm trying to decide what colour to paint my wing mirrors in to make me stand out on track. Bright orange, green, red are high on the list at the moment :)
 
Guys, I need some suggestions on what to do with the engine cover and inlet manifold, both are beyond cleaning;
