Because the 197 engine is more highly tuned perhaps?

What an interesting thread

Er.....hand brake turn anyone?! :lolup: If you're that worried you could always park the car in gear rather than on the handbrake. Thats what I do, as I found the rear brakes were bonding slightly if they were wet when I parked up - no big deal just bugged me.

Gutted mate. I had a similar incident a few years ago in my parents Astra - good hit from a Honda CRV in the passenger door; only time I ever achieved oversteer in that car! :eek:

Ooops! Another one bites the dust

LOL He's watching you

PMSL Such a nice guy :cool:

Seem to get the most waves back from fellow Cup owners too. They really are a cut above the rest :approve:

I do fairly often. Usually get a wave or flash of the lights back too :) Makes me feel all warm inside

Personally I've never used 95 so I can't say if it does make a difference or not. I have used Tesco 99 once though - mpg was appalling, swear I could see the fuel gauge moving at one point!

LOL SarahSarah - for the sake of one potential emergency fill up I would'nt worry about it. Just use whatever 'Premium' fuel is to hand. Some people run their RS Clios on 95 all the time.

Re: FF? whats all the exciement? LOL Big time!

Ha ha! Really? I thought about asking Matt if he wanted to come out to play last night too (did'nt bother in the end as it was a bit last minute) Dan and I had a good run :evil:

Shame about the wheels. If thats a genuine 220bhp that must be fun :cool:

Dude do you have any grasp of all the different sub-forums on here?

You know what I meant Ja.t**t (see I can do it too - does that make me clever like you?)

Change the record

Ditto. I hope to pay him a visit one day. rs32 - glad your happy with the results :)

LOL at bouncing it off the limiter!

Taking up two spaces is a bit selfish. Why don't you just park away from other cars or on the end?

Idling around 1100rpm is normal from cold start mate - its a fast idle to get things warmed up I think. I would'nt worry about it not starting first time either if its not a regular thing. Mine sometimes does not start first time when its hot (say when leaving a petrol station after filling...

In gear times better perhaps? Probably did'nt 'smoke them' from a standing start - Aston and Porsche would lose the advantage of better traction from a standing start.

How easy is it to replace a clutch cable then? Can a mechanical numpty manage it? :o

BUMP Anymore answers people?

I hope it does'nt break too

So it actually affected the operation of the clutch on your car? Seems to work fine on mine still (touch wood!); hav'nt had any problem controlling it. Just makes quite a loud creaking.

Good write up Richard. Love the seats :approve:

Fcuk it then. As long as its not doing any harm (i.e. knackering my clutch) I'm not too bothered. It first did it when I was stuck in stop start traffic for a while in warm weather. The car got that hot that the fan started going (the only time thats ever happened since I've had it). Thought...

My clutch is making a loud creaking noise once its hot. You can hear it inside and outside the car. It seems to work fine though, perhaps a little heavy. Been doing it for a month or so now. I did a quick search and from what I can tell its likely to be a problem with the cable. Can anyone...

I swapped a K-tec stealth for a Pro-speed which is quieter. Its not exactly stealthy though; people can here me coming. But then I like the noise, its not OTT
