BAZ172 - Yes, its slightly rich with an open induction kit & R-Sport ECU, so with a sealed induction kit it shoiuld be spot on! Ive got a Viper and will be getting an R-Sport, so these results have given me confidence that it will all be ok.

But you already know what the Renault technical documents recommend Brun...

Eh?!

No pollen filter in a Cup (unless it has climate), but someone on here got charged for one at a recent service!

Hence why I went for a new Clio instead of a used Scooby...

If theyre Pilot Exaltos then yeah!

I take it yours has Contis then Jon?

Go uprated then... You dont have to wait until the standard one is bitched to get a new one! Pain in the @rse job to do though, I swapped the clutch for an uprated jobbie in my R5 GT Turbo and its a major task!

Nope, hence OHV (OverHead Valve) engines mate...

Should last for years mate... Its an engine out job to change though.

If it IS that much everywhere, then my Cup will be gone well before that service is due...

I know... got one on the boot under the Clio badge now...

Personally Id swap it for another one...

Mine only has Cup on the door pillars now, as the 172 bits came off...

Nope

How the f*ck can a stainless steel, exhaust rust?!

Sounds dodgy... Get it in & have Renault hook it up to the diagnostic computer to see whats wrong! Either a fuelling or an ignition fault to cause that Id say.

Just coming up to 2400 miles since 16th July, so nowhere near as many as you...

Toyo Proxes are the cheapest option and theyre good tyres. I ran them on the 306 and theyre superb for the money. Mid price we have Pirelli P-Zeros and Michelin Pilot Exaltos Goodyear Eagle F1s are the top choice though, but cost most!

Do NOT run the car on fully synthetic from the start as it hampers the running in of the engine, so leave the standard oil in there. Can change early if required, to clean out any cr@p from the running in, but needs a couple of thousand miles on the clock first. Mines done about this now and...

Agreed... Im also a Cup driver and I dont want to be associated with this kind of t0sser!

Its just the same as a mk2 172 mate...

Shame...

Wierd! Unless he flogged the originals, as they can fetch a LOT of money...

This is what Captain Slarty (car expert for those that dont know of him) recommended to use for the 172 engine, after plenty of research, so its what Ill use too if I do an intermmediate oil change...

Wont be replacing mine with Contis when I need some, as they aint brilliant in the wet...

No pattern or anything?! Sounds like they werent even like the UK spec cloth GTi seats then...

The leather was standard on all cars from May 98 onwards (R Plate) and those with leather did not have the black plastic side protection mouldings, which is why I assumed this was a Quicksilver. What were the seats like then?

So besides the R-Sport ECU and the Max Power stylee bonnet... what else can we get off them??? Would love a 20% discount off an ECU though!

You got any pics of the interior??? I take it that it did have cloth seats and no rear head rests then?! Being an import it may be different to a UK spec GTi, but my 98 S Reg was different to your sisters one... Interior should definately be like this >>&gt...
