Last night, normal A road,, straight..... Stop the CUP and then launch off to test my theory on these tyres or that the CUP set up is scary.
No wheelspin after clutch drop, OK,,, then proceed in 1st to 6.5K before change with the steering wheel trying to do 90 degree...
I have now done 650 miles in the Clio CUP and they have these Conti Sport Contacts. I must say that I am not happy with them. They seem to create too much torque steer.
Last night I tried out the car for the 1st time on a B/C road (single track) next to my house where we do testing on new...

Same as the Impreza re Lambda sensors. We tricked the ECU to thinking it was there so the CEL (check engine light) did not come on, which reduces the parameters of performance, until the ECU is reset. Ill see if we can do one for the Clio. Ill talk to Janspeed also
So it has finally arrived!!!!! Where do I start??
Well after having drove a 172Sport demo car as my only new Clio experiece (had a Williams in 95), I can say that the demo car was not a good example.
Its pretty raw, I must say and thats from a current owner of a 280 bhp 01 WRX Impreza with...

Mine was delayed until October "some time",,,,,.
I need it for work, so I called around as many dealers as possible and found one that had one in and would match my current deal.
So im picking it up tomorrow, a week earlier than anticipated.
RESULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After much strife of having the delivery date moved from start of September to the middle, then end and then to an unknown date in October, I rang round all the dealers I could get hold of and managed to get an unallocated one for the same discounted price and I pick it up on Friday!!!!.

The car I am replacing the CUP with is sold and is going on the 27th to its new owner. Therefore I need a car for the 28th onward as I will not commute into the City of London in the Impreza (twin plate clutch a mare in town traffic) or the Elise as its really lumpy and you dont want to play...

Has anyone heard of any delays to the delivery of the Cup to dealers, or has anyone taken delivery???
Reason being that mine was supposed to arrive last Friday for PDI etc and now they do not know when it will arrive. Apparently the delays have been to a part the needs to be fitted in the UK...

Ive actually ordered the CUP with the Speedlines in White. This will be done by the dealer via a company I use so when I pick it up, theyll be done day one!!! Didnt actually see one one with white wheels but went for it anyway!!

Captain.
You profess to be the oracle of everything, including 172s, but you must get to grips with the concept of choice and not imparting that your view of the world should be taken up by the world and his wife.
For whatever reason, a financially revenue-driven organisation has decided...

With a full decat exhaust on a MY01 WRX and on, with an ITG air mat, we have been able to dyno results at over 260 BHP. In order to get more BHP & Lb/Ft torque, other adjustments need to be made, but not bad without any engine work!!
I would not advise the superchip route, will not comment...

Warranty. If you play the game right, you have nothing to worry about, plus you have to find a friendly dealer, if there are any. Subaru and Lotus dealers are OK when it comes to warranty claims and you have mods. As long as the modded part is not attached to the faulty item, there is no...
Brakes are the first thing I look at. I have never come across a standard OE brake kit that is any good, unless they are specialist kits put on as standard, i.e. Brembo with the Evo and Fiat Coupe to name just 2. The best manufacturers at the moment are Brembo and AP and would not really...

Guys et Gals,
Due to the impending arrival of my new baby, the Clio that is,,,, I am going to sensibly improve the car from day one. So can anyone suggest re liberating more power what a sensible option is to get nearer 190 BHP and more importantly improve torque. My stainless steel exhaust...

The MY is 2001. This is my 6th Scooby and yes, its the heaviest, but its actually a faster car in terms of cross country driving or on track as its much stiffer so one can load up the suspension better. Seeing as its as much a development car, were working on improving the BHP & torque to +300...
