I had a williams I a few years back and got it to 198bhp (rolling roaded by prima racing) with the following mods... Induction kit Full exhaust/decat/ with 3" tailpipe ECU re-map Magnecor ignition leads and some dodgy spark plugs (cant remember which) I was expecting about 175bhp, but...

Had my Cup 6 months now and decided it needs to be faster! Planning on getting the R-Sport ECU and some sort of induction kit. Any opinions on the best induction kit ? My main dilema is the exhaust though. I had a williams a few years back and tuned it up to 200bhp. It had a decat pipe...

Dunno how I missed it first time round but the 2AMP interior light fuse had blown. Strange that it takes the CC and Radio with it too though! And WTF is it only 2AMP? Ive never seen a 2AMP blade fuse before! Replaced it with a 4AMP as this was the lowest my local motorworld had in stock.

Im sure the rev limit on my Cup was around 6750 -7000rpm when I first got it, but just recently (after going over 5000 miles) it seems to go right up to just below 8000rpm. Is this normal? Or have I bust the rev limit by thrashing my car once too often!?:confused:

the music was pretty sh*t and no my interior light wasnt on when I was driving! just tried it when I stopped and found it was knacked too. no one else had anything similar?

Driving to work this morning in my Cup, cranked up a CD Iwas playing and the stereo , air con and interior light went off. I presumed it was a fuse, but ve had every single fuse out and they all look OK. Any ideas?

Ditto, £12K with CC from main dealer

Im thinking of replacing the head unit in my cup with a multichanger. Are there any units that are compatible with the steering wheel controls and the in-dash lcd display used by the standard radio ? Surely there must be plenty people here whove put decent ice in their clios...

Mines got CC, just over a week old now with 600 on the clock. I thrashed t*ts off it tonight for the first time and boy does it go! I very much doubt the CC reduces power at all, certainly not that youd notice anyway. Giving it some welly down some coutry lanes I had to hold on to the...

I passed the IAM test back in 1995 when I had a R5 Turbo. The main reason was that I thought Id get a reduction in insurance (21 at the time and my premiums were high!). But it made fek all difference! They still never seem interested when I tell them now either.

Found the same thing on mine... nothing between the two brackets. Ill wait for the photo to confirm this is the right thing though.

I agree. It sounds like nonsense to me. But thats the official line. "Special performance advantages" ?? I doubt it.

:) Thankyou! A photo would be excellent.

*PLEASE* can someone give a definitive answer as to how to check for this? Preferably while the car is stationery! I dont want to discover I have the problem as Im going sideways at 50mph. Can someone who has the correct part fitted please take a digi photo and post it on here?

This was bugging me! So I went on a google mission, and found the answer, I think! See info below from various sources, mainly continental home page... The forerunner to the new ContiSportContact™ 2 was ContiSportContact performance patterned tyre. ContiSportContact is slowly being...

Just checked mine (brand new, only got it on monday). Cant see any spring. Now Im worried! I really would like to see a photo!! I reckon my dealer will laugh at me if I just say Ive heard on the internet that there should be a spring on there somewhere!

Has anyone got a photo of this myserious spring on the brake? Just checked under my brand new Cup and cant see any spring on the rear brakes!

Yep, your absolutely right, just checked my cup, and another cup... the passenger side tyres both say outside but the tread direction faces the wrong way. I also tested out my brakes on a wet raod and sure enough it was the n/s tyre that locked up every time.

Thanks guys, I think Ill just leave it well alone! The car handles spot on, so I dont want to jepordise that. After reading other posts on here, my concerns are now directed to whether or not my car has the rear brake valve problem. Anyone got a definitive answer as to how to test for...

Got my new cup the other day and noticed on the drive home that the steering wheel is very slightly off centre. The car drives fine, amazing in fact, doesnt pull to one side or anything, but if I look at the steering wheel when driving on a straight road its annoying cos its not quite...

:( Damn! I found it off-putting. But I guess Ill get used to it.

Can someone confirm that Renualt are just lazy gits and cant be bothered to swap the wipers over to UK spec on all clios? Im getting paranoid that its just a fault on my car now! They go from right to left instead of left to right.

After nearly 12 weeks of waiting I finally got my Cup this afternoon.:D Im well pleased with it. Very frustrating keeping it under 4000rpm though, not sure how long I can keep that up! Mind you , even below 4000 it pulls and handles really well. I ve tried my hardest to find anything...

tomboy, thanks that would be great if you could find out any info on cup delays & technical block. Ive decided Im going to insist on a full test drive before I hand over any money and as you asid go over the whole car with a fine tooth comb. If Im not 110% happy then Ill have to look elsewhere.

Having ordered my Cup on 27th July and being told it would arrive in within 6 weeks I was most annoyed when delviery was put back to 15th Oct (today) due to the factory closure, but I got over it. Now , on the day it was supposed to be delviered the dealer has informed me that my car has been...

title should have been "Collecting Cup"... :sick:

At long last my cup is expected at my dealer this wednesday , although its still "in french transit" at the moment they reckon itll turn up on time! Anyway, when I go to collect the car what do I need to look out for ??? I know that the front splitter and 172CUP badges are dealer fit so Ill...

Excellent, thanks. I can order some mats now and imagaine what theyll look like when my cup finally turns up!:)

Getting frustrated at the long wait for my cup, so Ive resorted to looking for things I can add to it before i even get it. Im looking at some mats from autostyle.co.uk, but can someone confirm what colour the floor carpet is in the cup!? Im guessing its grey or black, but I cant remember...

Ordered mine 26th July and was told it would arrive before the end of Sept. Then they changed thier minds and said becuase of the factory holiday it will be arriving on 15th Oct. Got a call last week saying my order was "in progress" and should still arrive by 15th Oct. The saleman didnt...
