Yup, went and saw my mate at Renault again yesterday to talk through the prices and stuff to get exact figures and also to see if he could get me one pretty soon, rather than having to wait until mid September for a factory order... Anyway, the price was right and he found a dealer with 2 new...

Ok, say I buy a 6 month old Cup off someone... Whats the deal with the warranty??? I assume its fully transferable and I get the remainder of the 3 years?! How do I/we go about doing this?!

Ok, I "was" gonna get a new Cup, even got the Rallye for sale, but I have been side-tracked and gone all Impreza (again) so do I get a Clio or a nice RB5 Ive seen?! I know the Cup will be newer, cheaper to run, better on fuel, but... :D Opinions?!

ok, heres one for ya... How heavy is the climate control system in a Clio and what weight will it add to a Cup if it was chosen as an option?! Also, I know the R-Sport ECU is only for the Cup and mainly due to the 172 & Cup having a different ECU to begin with. But, if you had climate on a...

Anyone know what type of bulbs (i.e. H4, H7, etc...) the Cup uses in its headlamps?! Also, if how many bulbs per side?!

My mate is the sales manager of my local Renault dealer and I can get a very nice discount off a new Clio, so I am now wondering whether to swap the Rallye in for a shiny new Cup or 172! Thing is... which one do I get?! Bearing in mind that I have a Rallye now and so a Cup is the nearest...

Here are a couple of video clips of me hammering my mates mk1 172 around Elvington in mid April... http://www.lbft.co.uk/movies/cliofollowing.aviUhttp://www.lbft.co.uk/movies/cliofollowing.avi/U http://www.lbft.co.uk/movies/cliospin.aviUhttp://www.lbft.co.uk/movies/cliospin.avi/U (please...

Ok, I know that a 4-1 and a 4-2-1 manifold both give a nice increase in power and torque, but with different gains... One gives more low end grunt and the other more peak performace, or so I am told. Question is, am I correct and if so, which one does which?! TIA

Found some Renault Sport video clips promoting the Cup... http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/172cup/videos.htmhttp://www.renaultsport.co.uk/172cup/videos.htm :D

Well, I have just been "done" by a Nova on the motorway slip road!!! :o I knew it was not exactly standard when I saw and heard it, so I was expecting a challenge, but I am always up for a challenge. Basically, we both set off from a roundabout together and onto a nice, long, uphill...

Been down to see the GFs family (near Bath) this weekend and we took the RT as its got f*ck all miles on the clock (96 P-Reg @ 24k miles), plus is better on fuel than the other 2 cars... Managed to get an amazing average of 44mpg over a 460 mile round trip and I was not driving economically...

This is obviously aimed at all you 172, Cup, Valver & Willy drivers... If so, what happened and were you surprised?! ;)

Tonight (courtesy of my mate who owns our local Renault garage) we went out and had a little play with the various models of RenaultSport Clios, to see how they compare. We ran a mk1 172, a mk1 V6, a mk2 172 and a Cup all against each other on some superb A & B roads and then used an AP-22...

Has anyone got any graphs that show the torque and power for a standard mk2 172 at all?! If so, please post them on here or the link.

Well, as I said a few days ago, my mates Dad owns our local Renault Dealership (handy) and they got a Cup in stock on Monday. Just been down now to see it (again) and driven it! This thing is brand spanking new and had done a mere 24 miles when I drove it and it was still on trade plates...

Ok, say I bought a euro import Clio 172 from somewhere like Motorpoint and it was a full UK spec car... Would it cost more to insure than if I went to a Renault dealer and bought one!? I know it "shouldnt" but I know what these insurance companies are like! Any thoughts???

Just been told that the standard alarm system on a new 172, even the UK ones, is not an insurance approved system" Is this the case?!

Just been looking on the Renault website (www.renault.co.uk) and noticed that they have now included the "new" Clio 172 Cup as part of the model range. You can get the full spec, prices, options, etc. by looking at the site. Answers a few questions anyway...
