Who here owns a Renaultsport?

Should have my 172 back on the road on Monday, gearbox #3
How come so many gear boxes?
Well the 1st one [original with car] tried to grab 2 gears at once and destroyed itself. The 2nd gearbox lasted 2 months, it decided to eat the drive shaft seals. Number 3 box came direct from Renault but has taken 3 weeks to get here.

Anyone got one for sale?
Cannot find a decent one around! What are peoples thoughts on the Cup version? I like the idea of ABS and Aircon. I suppose a FF with a remap will keep up, performance wise?

Came to quite a rapid stop then!
I like them and hate them the only hatch back that has half a chance of keeping up with my daily in a stright line.
Thats fine. the engine has gone beyond rebuild point. 3000 miles is too many. so its being re built with a healthy addition of a gt25, a milder cam and less compression.

As this thread popped up again, just a couple of quick pics I took today, had my alloys refurbed and sprayed dark grey as well.
No rear seats F-T-W!
Im working on getting it lowered too

I'm selling mine soon too, will probably get like 2.5k because it's done 80k miles! OMG!
I'll give you a twix for it.
The V6 styling is a bit over the top imo... it wouldn't suit a 172/182. I think the standard 182 with cup packs looks classic... especially when it's lowered a bit (but not too much). Great, great cars... and I will miss mine like crazy.
*wipes tear from eye*

I'd get a twix?? Sweet!
I think they look ok when they are a bit lower, plus they have the wider front wings don't they?
mine is lowered a bit, the cup isn't

Got the car back £1206
On the way home the NSR wheel bearing started to whine! £47 later im happy
Just about to order a K-Tec Stealth so the spending is not over yet.
Mines been cheap as chips for the smiles/performance. I'd say relatively speaking for other similar cars they aren't bad at all to run.
And a grand for belts mot + service, who's pulling you pants down?

Agreed, that smells like main dealer prices. Get yourself to a decent specialist, k-tec, rentech, yozzasport etc etc and get some quotes. Should be a fair whack cheaper than that.
I love and hate my 182 in equal measures
Im not expecting much change from £1K in a few months time due to the cam and aux belt changes plus service and MOT. These little French hatchbacks aren't cheap to run.
Reaaally? Think a local renault were doing cambelt changes here for just 99quid!
I just got a full service (astra 1.8 coupe) which had cambelt, auxbelt and full service including screenwash etc for 340quid..
Cant be that bad on the clio?
