puncher Posted 19, October 2008 Report Posted 19, October 2008 Agree on the the blue Clio. Nice ! Welcome Gary. Nice to see our little forum has an international flavor about it i think the UK market is the biggest RS contigent, and contributes alot to what Renault does with their RS cars. Cheers Steve Quote
rmadrid-182 Posted 19, October 2008 Report Posted 19, October 2008 Hi gary182, welcome to the forum, nice pics, cars look immaculate!!! Quote
brendans225 Posted 19, October 2008 Report Posted 19, October 2008 welcome to the forum mate car is looking sweeeeeeett Quote
walkie86 Posted 19, October 2008 Report Posted 19, October 2008 Welcome Gary! I had the chance to visit the TRAX carshow (and arrive in a car on the CS.net stand) and it's clear that RS tuning in the UK is MASSIVE. Blue flame looks great. Have you got any other plans for her? Alex Quote
psycro Posted 19, October 2008 Report Posted 19, October 2008 Welcome to the forum mate! The wheels on the silver 172 look farking hot!! thats exactly the type of wheel im after, what brand/model are they? Quote

Alex heres a couple of other mods One mod i would like is to source clio Trophy Sachs dampers /springs without paying silly money for them. Carbon fibre splitter Samco Bend Megane sport footrest Quote
gary182 Posted 19, October 2008 Author Report Posted 19, October 2008 ill bet you a lger that they are Oz racing super-T's (supertursimo) Bio has these on his 182. Yeah O.Z super T (newer type)in 17" 205/40/17 Quote
puncher Posted 20, October 2008 Report Posted 20, October 2008 Awsome idea to put a set of Sach shockers on the Clio. Would be close to a Trophy set up. Im still waiting for someone to do it here in OZ. And see what improvements they may get in lap times. I think I may be waiting quite a while. Doh ! If and when you set it up be sure to post it on here with pics and prices. As im sure i won't be the only curious one here in OZ. A few trackers may quite possibly be interested in the outcome. Cheers Steve Quote
J A M I E Posted 20, October 2008 Report Posted 20, October 2008 Welcome Gary! Love those exhaust tips on your 182... best I've seen I reckon. I've got the Remus and love it but if I changed it would be for something like that! Let us know how you go with the Sachs... I wonder how much they'd be?? Quote

SOMETHING RIDICULOUS LIKE 6K AUD FOR THEM ID BE GETTING AST COILOVER BEFORE THESE PERSONALLY. (OR THE YOZZA REBUILT BILSTEINS) Have seen 2 sets on ebay which sold for £400-600, i would get them serviced , think a full set new is in the region of about £3000, £1200 for each front leg Quote

murcod Posted 20, October 2008 Report Posted 20, October 2008 Hi Gary, that's an awesome polishing / waxing job you've done on the 182. (BTW guys, I think you'll find "Blue Flame" is the exhaust system brand on the 182- not the name Gary calls his car. ) Quote

(BTW guys, I think you'll find "Blue Flame" is the exhaust system brand on the 182- not the name Gary calls his car. ) Yes Blueflame is the name of the exhaust company who makes the system, sorry for the confusion heres a link, http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... s1198p4983 Quote
Euge Posted 21, October 2008 Report Posted 21, October 2008 welcome champ.... love the blue with the yellow disc brakes.... Quote
Moosey Posted 21, October 2008 Report Posted 21, October 2008 No shortage of nice drive roads to choose from round your way, Gary. I lived just down the road in Bristol for 3 years. So how'd you end up with an Aussie name? Lol! Quote
R26DAVE Posted 21, October 2008 Report Posted 21, October 2008 I live in Swansea South Wales in the UK. Hey There Gary. Welcome to the forum. At a first glance, I thought you said Swansea, New South Wales........which is about 10 minutes from where I work....... .......but you are a bit further away than that. Cheers - Dave. Quote
