How much truth is there in some of the posts I have read that Prospeed exhausts can lose you power, from what Ben said it's sounds like it can't be true. Anybody that has a had a Pro speed on a 172 - how did you find the performance compared to standard?

Is it boomy at motorway speeds?

Hmmm, ok thanks for the honest opinion. My Cup is my daily driver so your comment is putting me off the k-tec - any idea how loud the GDI is, and come to think of it, how loud the new Yozza quiet is? Thanks

Spend it on trackdays, Ferry costs to get to the Ring, accomodation, good food, and perhaps a nice camera to capture it all.

I've found all of my Clios have become twitchy when the tyres have only a few mm before the wear bars - tramlining and generally more reactive to road imperfections at high speed. Might not be the issue you are having, but could be?

Call me boring, but after taking the Cup on it's first trackday I came away thinking about mods, but not a single one involved power. If I had a choice of mods I'd go for - Consistently powerful braking - so uprated lines, pads + discs Consistent feel for what the car is doing - decent...

I was talking horse turd then! Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology (would be interested to know what terms I should be using), I guess what I'm getting at is that from what I've understood, the K-tec and GDi are built to a design which is to maximise flow for the given size of the...

Hi People, Need help with a decision. I've searched and searched, and waded through lots of posts but I'd be really appreciative of opinions on - K-tec stealth (MK2) versus GDI Stealth Has anybody compared both side-2-side, i.e. on the same car, or perhaps on one car and the other on...

Check your exhaust system for leaks. When mine is cold there's a leak from the cat joint to the rest of of the exhaust. Easy way to spot this (depending on the scale of the leak) is that moisture from the exhaust system will drip from leak which will no doubt be at one of the joints. It's been...

Hi, Here's what you are after - 82 00 240 867 WHEEL ALLOY 82 00 244 716 WHEEL CENTRE (aka wheel cap) Gav

I'm sure I'm teaching you to suck eggs here, but it may also be because you are looking at 182 Cups rather than 182 FF with Cup packs. The 182 Cup came in Inferno and Racing Blue and resale values will be lower because they have a lower equipment spec. Cheers

Anybody fitted one of GDI's new exhausts? If so, are they any good from a quality/sound/power perspective? Thanks

Right, thanks for the replies, it's getting binned and replaced. Cheers

Hi people, I got a spare Turini with a Conti when I bought the car - the first owner bumped a kerb and decided to get a new rim and demoted this one to a spare. I'm now wondering if it's safe to use the tyre, there's a shallow slice into the sidewall (no threads visible) but I'm not sure...

Is this still worth doing with an RS inlet? Has anybody with an RS had it done and have before/after maps? Cheers

So this has been discussed at length - the issue with crumbling thumb grips and melting/peeling 'leather'. If you are in warranty, you may be lucky, depending on the dealer, and get a replacement. If not, then you would have to shell out £350/£400 for a new one from Renault and about the same...

Hi there, does anybody know whether the Cobra Imola seat colours are fully changeable? Looking on a few sites I can see you can buy cushions in different colours, but say I buy a set which are red to begin with, if I buy black cushions, will this replace all traces of the red material...

The following is what's covered in the 24k service (not my own work, I've copied this from the members guide section) - -- An “A” service consists of Change oil (for a 5/40 oil this is important to check some dealers use 10/40 as per normal Clio’s) Change oil filter Change air filter...

So, I asked for a quote from my local Renault main dealer for the second service on my 172 Cup (i.e. 24K, or 'A' in the guide section of the forum). The quote was approx £240. I then asked for the same service minus air filter (I've fitted an ITG), and I'll supply the oil (Silkolene), the...

Yozza (Fred et al) - Ive read you can supply Cobra seats at good prices, any chance you could supply a price list? I'm considering many of the Cobra seats but prices could sway me from one to another. Also, do Cobra supply a subframe that will allow access to the rear seats? I thought I'd...

Hello all. A friend of mine and I were looking over our cars last night (he has a 172, I have a Cup) and I noticed the tubing that comes from the airbox under then headlight seems to route differently on our cars and we couldn't decide if this was due to the Cup not having Zenons or if mine...
