My mate is looking at buying a used Cup with the plate S 7 CUP from a garage near him and was wondering if anyone on here had owned this car and/or if anyone knows about it??? Just wanna check its not a duffer... ;)

Anyone had a look to see how cheap you can get a new 182 for yet?! ;)

Are aftermarket exhaust systems on a mk1 172 and a mk2 172/Cup the same fitment??? I know theyre different up front, but I believe they are the same from the cat back?!

Just a couple of quick ones... are the standard Contis (Cup/172) directional? what offset are the Cup alloys? what offset are mk2 172 alloys? TIA

A couple of my mates (one has a Group A Escort Cossie rally car, the other has a Nissan 350z) are meant to be going to a trackday at Elvington (near York) tomorrow, but now the lad with the 350z has had to drop out! :sick: He cant get a refund or swap to a different date as its on tomorrow...

Ok, Ive got a really odd one for you, I wonder if anyone else has had this... Basically the clutch action on my 03 Cup is light & smooth, has been for the past 5000 miles from new, but for the past couple of weeks its developed a strange trait where as soon as the car gets fully warmed up...

Well, as some of you may know I had a problem with an engine mount in the Cup last night, so it was gonna have to go in ASAP and get sorted as it was not fit to drive... :sick: So, I ring the dealer this morning, tell them whats wrong and they said get the AA to bring it down and theyll...

Just been over to my cousins to sort out some stuff with his computer and on my way back just now I got a couple of clunks on gear change then all of a sudden summat broke!!! :sick: I kinda knew what it was, and I instantly thought engine mount, so I stopped, lifted the bonnet, rocked the...

clear your PMs dude...

Where do you Cup & 172 peeps get insurance from?! Mine is up for renewal and before I go ringing loads of places up I thought Id ask which places you lot recommened... Also, how much do you pay and what age are you. TIA

STOP!!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Just to let you all know that I have now been and checked with Renault, as well as looking on the ACTIS system and the link is NOT meant to be there on a Cup!!! Believe me, it aint supossed to be there on a Cup (it is on a 172 though) and I have just...

This is VERY important people... As you probably already know, there has been a lot of talk on here lately about a problem with the brake bias valve on the Cup (maybe 172 as well?!) and it could potentially cause an accident!!! There "should" be a link between the brake bias valve and the...

The windscreen wipers have started acting up on my GFs P-Reg 1.4 RT during the past couple of days... If you put the stalk in the intermittent wipe position it just wipes constantly at normal speed, so there is no intermittent wipe now! :confused: Also, they do not park themselves anymore...

Well, there aint many in the country yet and not many people will have even seen, let alone driven one, but I am lucky enough to have just been thrown the keys to one... :o Had the car for about 45 mins (on my own) and I am still buzzing!!! :D Looks amazing, sounds amazing, makes the...

Some of you may know that my mate was getting one of the first new shape Clio V6s in the country and it has now arrived... Going down for a spin in it tonight in fact, so in less than an hour I will have experienced one first hand! :D Cant bl00dy wait!!!

Any one got any good clear photos of the Cup interior??? Want some of the seats & door cards really, but any interior shots would be good please... TIA

Did it come with any kind of bracket for securing the filter and holding it in place when you bought it??? I bought one 2nd hand and there is nothing to hold it in place, so it just moves about in the engine bay, but I want it to be fastened in place. On the K-Tec site it shows some kind of...

My brakes seem to be doing weird things... One minute theyre cr@p and you have to really press them hard to stop fast and youd struggle to lock them up, then the next minute theyre sharp, precise and you can lock them up if you press hard, which is what they should be like. Anyone else had...

Getting fed up fo this bl00dy Clio now... Ive actually now compiled a list of the faults so far and to date its only 9 weeks old but the list is coming along nicely! :o Currently theres a PAS fluid leak, which I mentioned before and they were "meant" to have looked at, but it seems that...

After the garage telling me that my Cup "may" be in there until the end of the week now (after being in for a week already) and me then moaning at them, they appear to have pulled their finger out... I just rang them now for an update and they told me its almost ready, so I can collect it...

My Cup (6 weeks old) went into the dealer on Tuesday to have the gearbox looked at becase its always had a whine in 1st gear. When I took it in at 2 weeks old for them to listen too, I went out with the mechaninc and straight away he said "yeah, theres a noise & its not normal" so they dropped...

I disarmed the RAID (auto door locking) on my Cup this morning and since then I get a constant beeping (about every second) from the dahsboard and its driving me nuts!!! Cant re-activate RAID now, cant shut it up, dont know what to do... Anyone else had this?! Got any clues on how to stop...

Noticed tonight that my Cup (less than 600 miles old) makes a whining noise in 1st gear (like when in reverse) and Im sure it aint meant to do that! :confused: Also, there appears to be a rattle or vibration (in any gear) when cornering, coming from the area of the gearbox I think, but I...

Ok, after initially ordering the wrong set of bulbs from http://www.silverfusion.co.ukwww.silverfusion.co.uk I finally got the correct ones today and just fitted them. Front end looks so much better, Im sure youll agree... Before...

I decided to change the speakers in my Cup over the weekend as the standard items are sh!te to say the least... Anyway, I foolishly took the speaker wires out of the plastic connector for the drivers side door speaker without checking first and so I know dunno which was +ve & -ve so does...

Yup, the big day has finally arrived... I am finishing work at lunchtime, then going to my local dealer to get their trade plates, then being driven by my GF to another dealer (where my Cup is) to collect it and bring it back to my dealer for it to be PDId, taxed, registered, etc... then I...

As some of you will know I sold my 306 Rallye this weekend and my new Clio Cup aint gonna be ready for another week & a bit, so Ive borrowed my mates mk1 172 off him while he goes on his honeymoon. Well, I picked it up off him this afternoon and he tells me that the air-con has given up the...

Just been perusing the K-Tec Racing site to see what goodies I can get for my Cup when itr arrives and spotted this... http://www.k-tecracing.com/products/clio1/engine/ramcharger_induction_kit_1.jpg Its very similar to the Peugeot Sport one that the 106 (GTi) Super Cup cars use and has...

Finally... ;) One membership, 2 small stickers and a keyring on their way to me! Just need the car now! :oops: So currently I am a member of 4 owners clubs! PSC PGAC RTOC ClioSport Must be a record?! :D

Getting my new Cup in about a week & a half and wanted to know if the standard CD head unit was any good??? Does it play CDRs too?! Also, are the speakers 1/2 decent or are they crap? TIA
