Because its going to be a deal-breaker for the surfer guy who wants to buy it off me So there is a factory-fit Renault option that he can get fitted at his local Renault place after he gets the car? cheers A

Do Renault do one, etc? Can anyone help? Thanks Andy

same as me; bought in Bristol, WR53

mine is on the right?

I must make another point; i am proud of owning a RenaultSport because of the fact that Renault care about the marque and the people that own them; their trackdays (and i must book at least one soon) are cool; just for RS owners and they even bring their new models for you to drive - how cool is...

but that still doesn't mean they'd be impressed... Anyone who knows their hot hatches knows the 172/182.

which one are you? :D

Yes, it can. Buy a Mercedes. :D Loads of cars make noises like this; 172s and 182s are light cars for a reason; all that sound deadening that luxury cars have isn't there. They are rorty tappy little demons and we love 'em! Seriously, don't worry about it. Try listening to an air-cooled...

yes, it will be running weak. That is not good. Running rich is not dreadful but running weak leads to the engine running too hot and you may burn out valves or burn holes in the tops of pistons. Not recommended.

Hi Dan, 172 Cup is top fun; I love the twitchy back end and lack of ABS... Next week it gets Eibach Sportline springs and Tar-ox front discs and pads, then its off to the 'ring on the 24th..... :evil:

Nice guy, seemed very trustworthy when i met him. I bought my CC'd Cup from the dealer in Bristol (Hi superfastdan ;) ) a few months back and after my friend drove it he wanted one as well. We rang Steve on the off-chance as he was close to us (we are in Brighton) and he had an identical car...
