Dunno, but Im sure Jeremy could tell us...

Because its straight from the horses mouth... Jeremy Townsend from Renault has confirmed this several times!

Probably not... But the way to tell for sure is to check if you have the ultrasonics mounted on the pillars at either side of the windscreen.

Thats putting it mildly too...

Saxos brought hot hatches to the people...

Yeah, pointless swapping them...

Ill take some pics mate, or you could pop over to mine when you get it...

The 306 GTi-6 was actually the car that sparked off the current hot hatch trend again apparently... Way back in 1996 now!

Not hard to pick a random figure out of the air though... Theres no proof!

Buy some aftermarket pads... Dont have to get hard ones, just get some decent fast road pads which will improve braking, but wont wear the discs much more than standard. Mintex M1144, Ferrodo DS2500, Pagids or K-Tec ones are all good.

Well, Chris (chris n nic) had his Cup Superchipped and did a before & after session on the rollers, so he knew how much power & torque hed gained... It only gave him +3bhp apparently and nowhere near what they claim, but after a quick roadtest he did say it was deffo better. However, he got...

I did a test on mine and did the sums to see how they compared to the computer... Was close!

The gearing...

Well, the R-Sport actually gives no real increase in power and an open induction kit could lose power, so his mods have nowt to do with the top end speed. The mk1 is geared high enough to theoretically allow it to do 156mph, but Id like to see proof it actually happened! p.s. So the...

Exactly... ;)

Well... you can get more coffee in a mug... ;)

compared to what?!

But, if the garage dont know... ;) Unless they take the head off then how will the dealers ever know its had the head flowed?!

Down to the front of the car, I run mine down on between the rad & wheelarch...

Mines the other way round... The slightest touch and youre off, so its really tight & responsive, so took a bit of getting used to! I know that the R-Sport ECU does sharpen the throttle response, but I think this is more of a signal from pedal to ECU type problem. Get them to swap the...

We can always ask Jeremy then we know for sure... There must be a LOT of 172s about then if there are so many Cups then!

Trust me lads... if you heard what my mates mk1 172 sounds like after 2 years then youd run it in! He cained it from day one and it sounds like a diesel in a morning and the gearbox is f*cked. It aint just the engine that needs to run in, you need allow all the other moving parts to...

Nowhere near that amount...

Thats what I have in my Cup mate... see my post from earlier!

Where abouts in Lancashire are you from??? Ive got an 03 Cup and Im from the Nelson/Burnley area, Chris (aka chris n nic) is from the Blackburn area and he has a Cup too, plus there are a couple of others about here...

There have been approx 30,000 VTR/VTS Saxos sold in the UK (let alone all the 1.1s, 1.4s, etc...) and only a few hundred Cups have been produced, so the numbers aint even close! You must just be lucky and have a high concentration of Cups! ;)

My guage is usually one [] from the top actually, but on the dipstick it looks near as damn it max to me, so its hardly any less than full capacity. It actually came like that from new and it used a bit, so I topped it back up. Do NOT overfill it though!

But the Cup ends production in November too, so is that gonna be it??? :confused: No more Clio Sports?!

Yeah, WTF is this about???

My mate gets his soon too apparently and I bet one of those is his as he was getting one of the first and its a blue one too...
