NK04 *** if I remember, I think you turned off for northshields, gosforth etc.

Cuppy - do you park in that small carpark over the motorway then walk over the bridge? If so I think I parked next to you a few weeks ago. Does your cup have a 172cup badge on the tailgate? I think ive actually seen 2 cups in that carpark apart from my own, one has a private plate if i...

I musta passed about 5 different people today round newcastle area today, only 1 of the 5 smiled back with a wave... Anyone from here!??!

i got a bel 995 on ebay for £140 ... has so far picked up the mobile van twice which lurks around my area (responsible for my first 3 points this year in 8yrs driving) .... depends on how much u wanna spend really ...

haha quality. post a pic of your cup with those white rims on please cupcake !

wow, i couldnt resist not knowing the outcome so i went and done all 4 wheels... its done a real good job, you just brush it on and the caked on brakedust crap just dissolves off. still got these little dark spots in the corners it wont remove but its done a better job than scrubbing imo.

will it make it just like the day i bought it again ?

I just bought some of that wonder wheels stuff to try on my cup 172 as even with hard scrubbing and jetwash I cant get the brakedust off. I want them to look like new again ... is it any good ?

Quote: Originally posted by ian 182 on 11 February 2005 you must drive like a girl to get 17k out of a set of tyres...lolian i seriously dunno how the f**k i managed this. i even kept the 2 old rear tyres and brought them home for spares as they still have 5mm left on them each. and i DO...

hmm it was either toyo proxies for £52 a corner or yokos for £56 a corner (fitted etc)... i went with the proxies as they had the F1 style tread pattern

After 17000 miles on my original tyres with 2mm left on the front and 5mm left on the rear, ive just paid £207 today for 4 new toyo proxies all fitted. Good deal ?

the 3 points made no difference i only got them this year. thats living just outside city, garaged, no mods, and my girlfriend on the policy lol.

25, 5yrs ncb, 3 points, £490 FC on my cup or £275 on my 5 turbo

ive had my cup nearly 2 years now and I love it to bits. what other car can u have which will outstrip most fast cars yet still return 40mpg and it feels "raw" when youre driving it !!

is £208 "FITTED" a good price for 4 new toyo proxies ? [Edited by chris79 on 1/12/2005 1:51:25 PM] for 172cup sorry

If it was the STOP light it might be oil, it did that on my car when it was 1000 miles or so in... used up loads of oil and STOP light came on. Check this asap !! [Edited by chris79 on 1/11/2005 11:04:59 PM]

is £240 fitted for 4 brand new a good deal ? www.kwikfit.co.uk doing a 25% discount if you buy 4 in one go.... [Edited by chris79 on 1/11/2005 3:10:35 AM] for 172 cup - 195/45/R16

newcastle area

Kumho *** Tyre producer from Korea,especially high profile tyres KH11 195/45 R16 80V £39.80 - or should i pay more ??

bought my 172 cup brand new for £11995 from renault may 2003, took out a £12k tesco loan at 6.3% over 10 years and its costing me £140/month. I can afford to pay it off quicker but Im happy paying peanuts because I plan on keeping it the full 10+ years to add to my collection of renault classics...

where can I get the cheapest 172 cup tyres from ? Ive no longer got a job and I need 4 of them /o\
