I know a lad that grafted a 16v vent onto a Nova bonnet, which also has a ridge in the middle and that look surprisingly good. Not a cr@p Nova either, this is a very tidy 2.0l 16v on TBs!

Agreed... Looks very Max Power!

Yup, becuase the Cup Racer aint much lighter than a Cup road car at 950kg!

So why does it have the black door handles off a QS and not colour coded ones? Also, it appears to have the front headrests from a QS (or an early GTi) and where are the rear head rests? It doesnt have the black side mouldings, so must be a post 98 model, so would have leather & alcantara...

Its 172bhp (DIN) or 124kw (ISO) according to Renault UK mate... Check the website!

Ive also heard this...

Looks like a Quicksilver to me...

That aint too bad actually...

Approx 15kg

As long as its ACEA A3 rated then its fine. Use 10W40 as recommended though...

Well, if were gonna do 106 GTi pics... http://members.lycos.co.uk/Pug106GTi/Pug%20106%20Mine%20Now%20front_side.jpg http://members.lycos.co.uk/Pug106GTi/Me%20Side%20Close.jpg http://members.lycos.co.uk/Pug106GTi/Misc/Me_Cornering.jpg What a car! :D

Same basic car, but weighs 89kg less due to the removal of certain luxury options, plus the Cup has altered suspension gemoery and different shocks & springs, so hes right, it aint just a 172 minus some toys.

Just what I was about to say... Be interesting to get this one on the rollers ands up the strip to see if theres any truth in the rumour!

Nick - How much is the silicone induction hose to buy? Wanna change the crap black plastic one on my Cup for a nice blue one...

Winner! :D

Yes... New cars can & do use oil for the first few thousand miles!

I loved my old 106 GTi, so enjoy...

The reason is that theyll have got a good deal off Michelin... Do you know which model of Pilots they were???

LOL When I had my 106 GTi on the rollers at a 106 vs Saxo RR shoot-out, my pretty much standard 106 made more power than both the LAD tuned VTSs on the day...

RB_172 - What you had done to that then???

Not far from me then, and Chris (aka chris n nic) is from there too...

In some cases this is true... Not in this case though!

Correct... In my 106 GTi there was a kick at 5000rpm and in my 306 Rallye there was a kick at 4500rpm, yet there is no VVT on either car. Thats just the way it is. p.s Nice topic ressurection! ;)

Where you from then DazOrz???

Exactly... Chriss Cup ran 14.4 in full standard road trim, on standard wheels & tyres, with just an induction kit and an R-Sport! This is how he drives the car everday and these are real times hes getting! However, Tims is f*cking rapid! ;)

The Cup weighs 89kg less than a mk2 172 according to the official specs mk2 172 - 1110kg Cup - 1021kg

You know what I meant! :oops: Yes The quest for power... ;)

Nope, this is under normal driving conditions mate...
