Have a read of your insurance policy. If i had made a claim within 12months i would have got my car replaced, unfortunately i wrote it off 2 weeks after that period and its been 4 motnhs now arguing with them. Press them to replace the car outright, that way you wont loose out. Good luck

Cheers folks. I dont want to forget the experience entirely, but certainly deal with it and put it to the back of my mind...

If i had the money Peterh2 i would get another cup without hesitation. Kind of considered a 182, but i truly love the cup. Not sure how much the bora would cost though, was thinking highish miler, 70k or something like that. But i like your thinking Peterh2...

Thanks all, its a damn shame. No more spotted in staines pete... LOL at GR, it does seem like cups will be even rarer over time. Ill get the pics up shortly just need to upload them then post back. Thanks Em was a real shame, but super chuffed at being ok! I do feal rather lucky... just got...

Thank you all, it was pretty heavy but i have to say the car is very solid! Just noticed another cup with cc for sale in the for sale section, but dont think i can go there (finances!!) which is a damn shame as the timing is not too bad.

Cheers iceblue, it was unfortunately.

Very true & thank you...

or in my case the Armco on a slip road! Im sad to say that i wrote my car off on Saturday night on the A3. Its taken me a bit of time to get around to writing this down, with some hesitation. Momentarily lost concentration (saw a 182 on the inside lane) whilst travelling on the outside...

Thats mental! Im sure i know where theyre doing it too, looks very familiar! It looks very much like the road between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in the UAE. You have to say their car control is scarily impressive, but F**king stupid, i mean where theyre actually doing it! Glad all is well Matty, mate...

MattyMarsh, yeah sure, i will get the camera out tomorrow when im back from work and take a few. TBH at first i thought it had a negative effect, but i thought, give myself a bit of time to let the tyres bed in and for the fun to get out of the way and i cant say its changed, im getting the same...

Hi MattyMarsh, check http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=6&TopicID=114233&SearchPagePosition=1&search=WannabeeCup&searchMode=allwords&searchIn=Author&forum=0&searchSort=dateDESC&ReturnPage=Searchthis link out, there are plenty of shots, but if there is an angle other...

Go for the GSD3s, ive been running them for about 2k and changed the size to 215/40 r16 and they are amazing in the wet, its so reasuring especially in this weather. I have no issues with rubbing at all. The tyres are a slightly softer compound than the contis which makes the ride slightly softer.

He he, ive had the light going on at around 30 something, it depends what my average mpg is as to when it comes on. If im doing a higher mpg and still driving easy towards the end of the tank then the light doesnt come on for a while and visa versa. Saying that, when the light came on at 50...

Cheers CupCake i have all the info i need, thank you for being so forthcoming. & now your getting a role cage! You trying to turn your car into a rally car by any chance ;) He hee. I will eventually go down that route, but will spend money in other places first but really like the idea of the seats!

LOL, nice one. Thanks for the comprehensive reply. I shall have to take down the info and pics for when i decide to go down this route. Nice intake by the way ;) How long have you had the car - 40.5k, nice....

It looks absolutely wicked! Can i ask how much it cost, for the whole lot? What do your passengers think of them? Also do you go on many track days? How comfy are the seats? Do you find they are only slightly firmer? Last question, have you got standard suspension? Only asking because the top...

All together now.... Cups rule :D

Welcome, had mine 9 months and love every second of it! Apart from having the spare wheel the car jack, toe hook, car jack handle encased in the circular plastic "thingy" then? Should find out from whoever you bought it from if not... Have fun!! :D

Interesting, i had a slightly similar problem. But it was more random. Sometimes it just wouldnt start. AA man thought it might have been the imobiliser, got to a point where the engine cut out whilst i was stuck in traffic and wouldnt start for ages. Turned out to be some relay switch which...

Hi Stu, my mate used to own a Pulsar GTI-R then he too bought a mk1 V6, this is about 2-3 years ago. Just interesting how your going from one to the other... he he hee.... Good luck in buying your pimpness of a car :D

Im very close to getting the Eagles on my car next, although im changing to 215/40 r16, although i am also thinking of Pirelli P Zero Neros. I will put a post up when ive got them and of my impression. Should have them within a week or so.

I swapped my fronts with the rear at around a 8000 or so miles and since then the fronts (old backs) still have loads of life left and im just over 11000. TBH i havent noticed a huge difference in the handling of the car since the change, if anything ive pushed the car more since. Ive done this...

Craigaward, Why dont you get a 172 Cup:D he he heee I dont recall that being mentioned. Although i wouldnt slate the VRS too much, it looks pretty hot, some phat seats and body styling. So what its a skoda, its a vw underneath and youll get a decent diesel engine, if thats what you like...

cobham,surrey

Mine does that, cant really notice it in first but in most of the other gears, maybe 5th gear its not so prevelant. But 2nd 3rd are real sweet.

370 from Le mans to South London :) About 38MPG

Which eibachs have you got and i assume you are on standard dampers? Im very close to getting my eibachs but just not sure if i want to go for sportline or pros, like the idea of the lowering of sportline, but then pros do lower it although a little less.... just not sure yet.

Definately an FRS, my brother has one and its built so solidly, the gearbox is just lovely, absolute solid thing compared to my shabby gearbox, although that was heaps better than his old 106 rallye which was so loose after many years. The FRS handeling will sh*t on a lot of cars, its just...

Evogone, whats your ride quality like compared to when u had the 195s/normal springs? Im almost definately going down the route of putting some sportlines on and when the tread wears out i was going to replace them with 215/40 like you have. Im curious as to the difference in ride quality, i.e...

Tim, i know its hard to restrain yourself but see if you can run it in for a good 1k, all i did was drive for 4 hours on the motorway. Occasionally when the engine was really warm i couldnt resist taking it up there on one or two occasions. But this was after about 700miles. I personally tried...
