I was thinking about covering all mine with velvet like carpet? Just plain black. Nothing too expensive, just cheap stuff. Paintings an option but wont hide all the wires which are hanging about looking untidy?

Yeh, these gave me hassle too. Just pull hard and they should pop out.

Havent got any pictures, will try and get some for you. But neither have i put my buckets in yet, and the clip next to the handbrake is actually connected to the seat. Ill have a look for you tonight.

Have you removed rear seats? I didnt drill anything, just used the bolts from the old seatbelts on both sides, and the rear seatbelt clip bolts.

Id say you should be paying 9-10k? not too sure. But yes they did produce some in Silver...just after climate was made available.

More Barrys own the Saxo.

The only running in mine did was the rolling off the trailor. Your car, your choice, your piece of mind.

I gave the other guys details to Hippy. He used to post on here, under the name of Wellard. His Cup also spontaneously combusted after he clipped a cerb iirc. Should get together and campaign. Hope all gets sorted.

Welcome to the Club.:D Even tho uve been here a while it seems. Enjoy your new beast. BTW its Naples red, not Maroon. The classest colour IMO. ;)

The seats themselves are really huggable and comfy. I prefer them to the standards. The driving positon is also great, but getting the subframes can be a nightmare, so look into that before buying the seats. However i tend to get back ache from longer journeys as the seating position tends to...

Most, nearly all bucket seats will be lighter than normal. Ive got some sparco sprints and they weigh nearly half as much as the standard seats.

Yeh dont bother getting anything OTT. Keep it as close to standard bodywork wise. eg willy spoiler etc. Keep it subtle, looks mean!

light tints imo Looks mint tho! :D

Most Renault dealers will clean your car, some do without saying, most u just have to ask. Its the least id expect after buying a new car from them. I always get them to do it, even when im there to look at the 182... :D

Mines too loud. Full system with de-cat, K8 pipe. + ive lost the removable baffler so i dont have a choice. Loud or fcuking Loud, depending on how i drive it.

IMO its Dark. id use the Carbon if i were u. If u really want to try before u buy u can sample some of my Carbon?

Ive raced one in my Valver and never again. It was just as fast and caused me to blow up my clutch i was tryin so hard. :@ That race cost me £250 and i lost in the end.

Carbon. IIRC carbon is for darker coloured cars, the other (creame) is for lighter e.g silver cars. << Carbon Zymol treated! ;) [Edited by Dust on 10 May 2004 at 3:10pm]

Ok, so if the rings have gone or on their way, would the grey/blue smoke be a more constant thing like even when poodling around? There seems to be no smoke, only when ragging or cold. Im probably going to sell/trade in the cup. Need a bigger car, a cruiser. Preferably with a big 6 cylinder...

Does different colour smoke mean different things? White/black/blue? Puffs out white smoke when i start it in the morning and puffs out black/blue smoke between high rev gear changes? piston rings? Im not too sure tbh. Gets driven hard most places, but well looked after(warmed up and down...

Yeh me too. :cool:

1st = 35mph 2nd = 62mph 3rd = 90mph ish 4th = 105/110mph 5th = not sure, around 130mph

Agree. Naples or Black. Get yourself some Zymol, once polished up the Naples colour looks awesome. ^^

*update* So far ive got it all properly stripped and cleaned up now, inc roof lining! The scrapping noise was the belt tentioner, once we got it off i was spinning it in my hand and it was locking up, lucky. Got that changed. The belt had actually frayed and cracked where it was too close to...

I was thinking about the sunroof removal. Had another dodgy idea: remove the whole sunroof unit, get a 16v scoop(the bonnet vent scoop), some perspex and get someone to mold me a roof scoop(rally style) to replace the sunroof! lol But the unit does need to go. I hope the elecs arent buggered...

One thing ive learnt is never by a new car, without selling the old one first. Since the Cup arrived a once very loved Valver has been sat on my drive for nearly 9 months, filling up with water and molding. Ive been telling myself week after week, "this weekend ill do her up to sell" but...

^^what Jon said. or try putting it into 1st, then into reverse. and make sure you leave it a few secs before you slam it in, to let the revs drop.

Credit wheres its due, the interior is very nice. Just not as nippy as its competition.

Dont Powerflow have a lifetime guarantee?

Who cares. The faster car is up to the driver.
