Good effort Rich! The car looks superb :approve: Why oh why did Renault not offer white from the factory?

What! :eek: I have that TV. Paid significantly more than that last year. That is a bargain and a half.

Is that not a sign of a head gasket going? (Not certain on that, so don't panic!)

f**k me! how many people going!! :eek: I've double booked myself for this, gotta pull out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Pootle - 172 mk2 2. Justin-172 - Titanium Ph 1 172 3. White16valver - 16v (duh! lol) 4. Lee - Trophy 5. Al + MissH -...

Mine has pathetic range. Still easier than sticking the key in the door though! Never heard of putting it near your head before.

I was'nt ;) Was too boomy for my taste. The sports cat fitted at the same time did increase resonance though I expect (I did'nt realise this before hand). I don't hold this against you though! The whole system was well fitted, and it did sound the nuts when gunning it.

That could be your problem mate. Usually best to keep a steady throttle round the bends - balances the grip better by keeping some weight on the rear tyres. I got caught out once on a greasy road when I first got mine. Honestly can't remember if I had lifted off the throttle or not, but I...

My speedo seems pretty good. Read 135-136 at gps 134. Still to bounce it off limiter in top :evil:

No its not :nono: Evo have voiced their suspicions that the press cars were tweaked on a number of occasions. It would explain the rampant torque steer they experienced but RS owner's don't. It is a well known rumour. Pardon you ;)

Re: f**king idiot lorry drivers Was the lorry carrying rocks?

I think the brakes are engineered to give more feel on the Cup's (go's a little way to make up for the lack of ABS I guess!). So yes - they should feel different. Whether there is actually something wrong with your brakes....suggest you get them checked out if your worried.

LOL! I thought this was going to be round 2 :slap:

:lolup: Sadly it is.

Have a go on the search function mate. This is our favourite topic ;) FWIW the main difference in terms of comfort is that most Cup's do not have air con. The suspension setup is more than bearable IMO

I got a local tyre fitter to price match Mytyres for Michelin PE2's - two fitted £140 :)

Covered nearly 15k in mine and not had any mechanical problems.

^^Thats a piss take! And leads on to my question to TheCake - what about consumable items like air filters and brake pads? (agree with what you have said so far) I have an ITG Panel and I'm wondering if its really worth declaring. It is at the moment - but I feel it's been lumped in with...

Is that even an F1 car though? I find it hard to believe an F1 car as recent as '99 would disintegrate like that - maybe in early 90's. RE Kubica's incident - that is the most savage crash I've seen in recent years :eek: Glad he got out ok.

Yes indeed :rolleyes: I found that out to my cost recently (not the a belt letting go luckily but time, inconvenience and a little money) The previous owner had the 36k done by a Renault dealer and they did'nt do the aux belt. Found out when I rang the dealer up. Numpties did'nt seem to...

My Nan? as in my Grandmother? Think thats taking things a bit far! :eek: I mentioned my Mum's already down as a named driver before ;)

I did (sorry Mark to drag up your original post again - was'nt my aim!) Interested to hear your opinion on the Greenstuff Laingo. Still making my mind up, gonna give them some more miles.

Already got the old dear down as a named driver. Knocked £50 off

Have you heard my exhaust? Thats a Pro-speed stealth 'mid-sport note' according to the reciept. Cost me £300 fitted. (I do have a sports cat though which increases resonance a tad) It is much less boomy than the K-tec stealth I had before (but they have revised the design since then I believe)...

Indeed. You know its right ;)

I try to keep it as legit as possible mate!

Thats what I'm thinking. What about brake pads?

Too much! £1016.35 (that includes £20.95 'Personal Accident Cover' that I assume I can opt out of)

Right, I need to renew this month; the cheaper the better! :) Car: 172 Cup - mods: sports cat, cat back exhaust system, panel filter (should I even bother declaring the filter??) Driver - 24 years old, 1 years no claim, driving 15,000 miles per year I'm currently with Elephant and their...

What are your stats? - no claims, time driving, car mods etc I need to renew this month but I can only dream of quotes that cheap :(
