Anybody know of a place i can get my rtired cup whells refurbed in the south - south west area??

Fitted the Pro-lines to the cup on weekend and i can see why every likes Eibachs. It hasn't changed the low speed ride much if at all but when you start to move on body roll is much reduced what a change for 140 notes. The ride height has not changed much at back but at the front looks lower and...

Cheers for that will get right on it !!

Had a look at fitting guide for springs on fubar and gonna have a go myself but looking under the rear of the car where is the best place to jack up the car :S

Bought some drilled /slotted discs of fleabay but looking at the searches looks like i made a mistake. Seems folk think they are shite haven't paid for 'em yet mind ;)

Sod it just bought some drilled and slotted discs:(

Agreed with you dan on the roll issue but i am used to driving minis! Ordered some prolines today and some new discs can anyone recommend pads EBC, Pagid etc?

Spending a bit of cash on the cup. Upgrading the brakes and want to do suspension. I have decided on Eibach springs and looking at the searches sportlines seem popular choice but what difference do pro's make to the cup. Im quite happy with ride height at the back but wouldnt mind seeing the...

Get a good cup for that you know it makes sense ;) . Ive been lucky with reliability on mine twice round a track and nearly 20K of motoring in a year and only a service and engine mount at Rentech for 250 quid and a couple of oil changes (Never dealt with a main dealer yet). I was in to Jap cars...

Was following today through lanes round combe bout one i was in the cup behind looked like heading to yate dont know if it is anyone on here. quite rapid and low with a longlife sticker on back.

Just add my two pence worth! my Bro in law followed me in my 172 cup to Castle combe through lanes in his cooper S two weeks later he had a 182 says it all. Thought the Cooper S was a good drive though when i drove it even though Im an old mini nut but it dont come close to my '64 MK1 cooper S ;)

What suspension set-up is that on the silver clio?

Just had 36K service done on the cup last fri and wanted to say what good service i got from the guys at Rentech. It was sorted out with a service and engine mount quickly and very reasonable priced. Oh plus you get a free key ring and sticker!! :approve:

Do pro-lines lower a cup 172 at all?

A 172 cup what eibachs did you have pros or sports im split between what to get for my cup dont want a really stupidly low car just bit more even looking.

Morning all. Got a bit of cash to spend on the 172 cup and am looking for some opinions Its standard except a Stealth exhaust and ITG panel filter. The 36k service is due was thinking of ren-tech or ktec. What sort of price am i looking at roughly and i think the gearbox mount is rhubarbed...

My cup is coming up for its 36k service can anyone recommend anywhere in the bristol area.

Was a good outing first time i took the cup on track seen a few pics of it on here CV52. Went out twice the first time was quality very little went past. Went out a second time straight away and nearly got taken out by a Mk1 escort spinning in front of me at Hammerdown and my new GSD3's got too...

Just changed the dogbone on my cup and car feels a lot more solid. Anyway searched for a bit but cant find definitive answers so here goes: 1. Got quite a loud tapping noise when the car is warm from the front of the car near the drivers side wing could it be the charcoal canister the car has...

Thats a little harsh only interested in drivin both to see how they compare.

Tomorrow should be interesting takin my bro-in-law to pick up his new car (a ctr) takin him down in my 172 cup. Not a big racer but lets be honest were both bound to give it a little stick on the way home :eek: . Lookin forward to drivin it and seein how they compare

regarding my last post im a bit confused. after fillin the engine with 5 litres of oil i ran the car for a few mins checked everything no leaks etc. Went to the cashpoint got back in the car and the serv light came on and the trip was reading ------- as if no oil. checked the dipstick and it...

Job done copper washer used no leaks but the computer had a funny five mins sayin there was no oil and the serv light comin on even though the engine was full and had been run.:S

But one small prob is that i took the sump plug out and on the plug is a steel washer with a rubber insert the washer i got from renault is just a plain copper washer shall i use the new copper one on its own and discard the...
