Yeah, K-Tec are developing a "sports cat" which is basically a free-flow low cell count item that will apparently gives gains of 65-8bhp whilst still being fully road legal, will pass an MOT & works fine on twin lambda cars. Gonna be £250-£300 according to the website and now overdue... Id...

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...

Chris, youll need to get a de-cat made up that allows the sensors to be screwed into it, so theyre still in the system. Not seen anyone doing a mk2 de-cat yet though?!

Would be very interested to hear the results... Where is Hill Power based then Nick??? How much just to supply?

There are loads of Cups/172s on here that have had problems...

No, never made a difference to the brakes on my 306

Describe the problem a bit more please... Does it like die and cut out, or just lose power but still pull??? ACTIS is a system that lists faults & recalls.

Yes, several times as a couple of my mates have them! They have a lot less faults than a Clio though...

Pretty much... But then theres the differences in the gearing and the engines characteristics, as they have totally different power/torqe patterns!

Theyre built better...

Check yellow pages and find local places for you that do car alarms. Usually places that do car stereo as well... Then compare prices and see whats best.

Even though my 2 month old Cup has had a few niggly problems, I still enjoy driving it and its all warranty covered anyway...

What age/miles? Might see how much theyll offer me for my 2 month old Cup...

Correct. The Cat 1 alarm is retro fitted in the UK by Renault and all main dealer supplied cars "should" have it fitted. On imports they either have no alarm, or an aftermarket system fitted, or in some cases (like my mates mk1 import) they may have the genuine Renault one fitted...

The standard item is good...

When you getting that mate?! Would like a listen to see how loud it is... Want a system for mine, but do not want too much noise, as Ive been there, done that and Im all grwed up now! ;)

We got a price on those bits please Nick?!

Might as well keep it then, as it will be like a new car! ;) Anyway, I like it again now and if it behaves Ill keep it...

Yeah, I "nearly" bought one last year when theyd just come out, but at the time I wasnt in a position to do so after just buying a house, so I went for that 306 Rallye. Was also told there were gonna be 500 Cups and no discount at the time.

Aaaaah... Yeah, the siren goes off and the inicators flash. The immobiliser is a Cat 2 transponder type and the alarm is Cat 1 according to the stuff Im looking at in front of me!

Try it and see what you think seeing as you already have one. I also have one, but it aint getting fitted as it did jack sh!t on my last car!

Ive had one and tried it, so I am in a position to "dis" the Ecotek. Most people just sl*g it from what others say, but I have one next to me now and it will not be going on my Cup!

You get the inidcators flashing when you lock/unlock the car, but no audible notification... ...unless you disable the ultrasonics!

Dont panic Pete, its just the markings on the rev counter are different between our 2 cars for some reason. Your limiter will still be the same as mine!

Do a search mate...

Sounds good mate... Means I can run mine for a year and sell it for more than I paid new! ;)

Mmmmm... on the fly tuning!

As standard mate... Or 8000rpm with the R-Sport ECU!

Cheers matey! :D

The rev limiter comes in early at about 6750rpm if the car is not fully warmed up, so do NOT thrash it when cold. Once up to temp its 7250rpm in 1st, 2nd & 3rd and 7000rpm in 4th & 5th
