Congrats. Great decision. I picked up a 182 Cup back in November after owning a number of RS variants. After giving it a good drive last week it is certainly the funnest to drive - no word of a lie. It deserves ALOT more respect than anything that I have owned and is not as forgiving but it is so rewarding once you nail the sweet spot. So I second the driving course. As well as a good going over of all the suspension and handling bits. Hope you have years of fun with it.

Same. $100 auto deposited into an account every month since the day she was born.

Hey there. Purchased a sticker early this month and haven't heard or received a response. I messaged admin and no response yet. Can I just check I've got one on the way? Cheers, Bernard

Sooooo I'm a returning long time RS Owner after purchasing farficks FRB 182 Cup From a 172 -> 225 -> 265 which I offloaded last year to get the fam into an M40i, I just couldn't resist getting back into a RS and a wee beasty no less. It's just made it's way down from Brissy and I'm eagerly awaiting the call from CEVA to organise delivery. I really want to pull the trigger on a Milltek already and practically spit my coffee out after I saw the postage on Turini's. Anywhere local I can get them? So for now it's personalised plates and I can't believe this plate was still available. Looking forward to hanging out this summer.

My heart dropped seeing you drive off in it but it definitely went to the right person. Way too many tyre kickers!!!! The Clio box is actually a very good OEM part and 95% of aftermarket products offer no benefit at all. You will lose power by changing it. There are a few alternatives though. If you have the $$$ you can buy an ITG kit but there is a bargain alternative which is purchasing a Renault Espace V6 airbox and ITG oval panel. It’s the same design as the ITG but half the cost. You could also model the intake off a clio cup racer by moving the battery in the boot to make room for a straight elbow into pod. Plenty of info on that here and on cliosport.net. I’d personally put the money towards Koni’s. Get used to the Renault spotting love. We're a secret society.

I'm currently finding out if I can use my Clio module on the rsm with a new license. Will be running to get a trickle charger if so. Anthony, was great to deal and meet with you. Thanks for your time in delivering earlier than expected. I actually felt bad taking it away as I drove off.

Shucks, I don't want to know. I screwed up royally 3 days after getting the Clio (6 mth suspension) and not making the same mistake with this one. I'll just say that getting to 5,000 happens from 2,000 and there' still so much more to play with after that When you're shifting at 55-60km the RSM is still in 1st up until about 70. Again, the comfort level is amazing and it's so quiet inside unless you wind down the windows and hear the whistle when the turbo spools. The windows are tinted so you do feel isolated from the outside but in a good sense. Blind spots will take some getting used to. Either the B pillar or from what I have heard maybe the headrest is a big culprit. Thanks for all the grats. I just can't believe I contemplated an XR5 overs this or even an MPS. It's sinfully good looking and has such a presence, not only because of that a*** but because it's unique in every way. I can't see the shape outdating. It does feel like you've grown up, a right of passage maybe if you love Renaults. Poor Clio is now at the back of the carport...

I had the pleasure of purchasing RS-225's BO 225 and picked it up yesterday. The obvious difference between this and the clio is the amount of power on tap but i was also surprised at how planted this thing is. There is a real difference I think with what a cup version brings even over a Clio with mild suspension mods. The comfort level is superb and feels like a bit of a cruiser. Can't wait for the drive up to Sydney next week and with cruise...finally!! So i guess its back to the drawing board and learning all about a Renault again.

The interior alone I think is worth going to the cup. There is a red non cup though in NSW with the leather option.

I reckon you could get that blue 2007 Ph2 for 23k. Been on sale for a while.

Pretty. Will take getting used to though. x 2 on the avatar thing

Hmmm...trying to get used to it

Dunno. It was my first ever nickname on the internet which I used when I signed up for my first e-mail account in hotmail. It never really stuck other than on the internet. People prefer to call me B, short for Bernard.

A second search feature to search in actual threads would be fantastic. Sometimes it's painful trying to find alot of things on here. Just try looking for K&N Apollo + Dyno.
