That was a joke peeps - noone listens to the news then? The no. plate WIL 1 wenr for £40,000 yesterday at auction - the auctioneers expected the Royal family to bid for it!

They should be upswept! Or alternatively cut 2 circular holes out of the rear bumper half way up and stick a custom exhaust through them - two circular ones aka V6 - seen this dohne before and looks mint!

what do ya think WIL 1.......

Has a race with a Turbo scooby, model before the bug eyed one on a dual carriageway - saw him coming, waited till he was about 20/30 yards behind then floored it in 4th - stretched a 150 yard gap and maintained that all the way to the limiter in 5th! He done the indicator shuffle and flashe the...

Anyone know if there is one available yet? Any pics

Hello all!

thatll be the high bite point on the clutch - difficult to get used to and yeah my accelerator is sticky in the mornings too when its cold!

yeah but the evo 8 came out soon after the image ! as do most magazines attempts at new models! Theres no way another 3 years for this shape clio, the chassis is done and trends are changing! If they wait renault will suffer in the hot hatch/supermini market - i mean another 172 incarnation dont...

COOPER s boy ayeeee - the cup easily does 60 in under 6.5 no probs without even trying - ALL FOR UNDER £12k and if you are one of the lucky ones who waited they are now going for £10,995 over here, might have to buy another one just to have 2! Tuning u-pgrade packs that cost more than a couple...

A boxter? Ive raced a Boxter S of the lights and its even stephen! A standard boxter would get wasted by the cup..............they aint quick!

Havent decide mate - may get the 185BHP kit which cost approx £138 from Lefjie in france - Id imagine thats much better as these guys are renualt tuners from France - they do scoobies and the V6 and cosworths too - loads of experience - and it would seem they have squeezed 185BHP out for £138...

Yeah its the heatshield/exhaust centre section that vibrates at about 4000rpm - get the wheel refurbed -cheaper than a new one - or else buy a new one of renault and use the kerbed one as a spare in the jboot - kinda defeats the purpose of buying the cup though ......lol

Paul - you need to change those orange indicators in the headlights to silver vision ones?

Renault no sh*t all about the ecu let alone what a friggin 172 Cup is...............dont bother...!

Wonder if this will speed the Cup mods up in response toi the 200BHP cooper works? Not that the cup needs and more power to match it..........lol:devilish:

Check out autocar and autoexpress for pics of the new cliospace - mini mpv - and for those who think the new shape clio (including our friend Jeremy T) wont be out for another 3 tears - theyre sorely kmistaken - its the new clio frontend by the looks of things and oh - what a resemblance to the...

Just read the review in Auto express and autocar - in my opinion its rubbish for the money - 6.8 and 17.2 to 100 - everybody keepscomparing the cooper s to the type R the Golf R32 or Alfa romeo 147 GTA - they forget the cup beats or equals these cars in pe4rfromance and the cup defo beats the...

6.8 do 62 is not damn quick - the cup does 6.5 to 62 and that aint quick either, even 6 secs isnt quick, what it does the tonne in is what counts?

yeah but these were being made - regardless, its a renaultSport car not a renault...............there is a differnce - the same as an M- badged Beemer, or an AMG badged Merc - different companies (sister companies actually) with , different tuners, different input, marketed and sold under there...

Evo tested it at 7.2 to 62mph - utter crap for the ammount of money u need to spend - typical BMW! Hate the looks and its performance isnt really a worry!

Thats funny Ben R coz I have photos of 172/Cups being worked on at the Renault Sport factory? alongside the V6s............?

I love the colour of my cup - it has a purple flip in it when the sun hits it! sweet! nice photo bTW

wow did you get the por added for free...........S7 CUP you mean?

Like I said before the 172/Cup and V6 are developed and built by Renault Sport using a renault shell and all the other bits - whats so difficult to understand about that ? The renault sport line up doesnt include any other vehicles..................however renault have loads of vehicles like the...

Mines does - do a search for the thread "Better Interior and exterior pics" think its on page 6 at the mo..................V6 Mk 2 1600 16V etc

Guys...........R-Sport is independent - Renault Sport the guys who make the 172, Cup , Spider and V6 are in france ...........stop deluding yourselves - these guys are not the official upgrade people - Renault Sport is and Id asvice everyone to wait patiently for OFFICIAL upgrades from the...

180bhp - SAME as the cup racer - its the same ECU they use - stick a 6 speed sequential in and whey hey! They only hit 60 in 6secs so i imagine with this remap in so will our road cups and thats not bad going - the french site Lefjie has a remap combin3ed with filter which sees 185BHP for about...

The filter I got is a grp N one - but th3e Green filter is for the road car - thats basically what ur doing when u replace a panel filter with a green or pipercross etc - your fitting a Grp N spec filter ! Whether it says Grp N or not the simple fact is its a grp N for use in grp N competition...

Thats th eone - need for speed host the green website but yeah they mail order I got mine on Saturday - it has 2layers I think - easy to fit and a noticable improvement! The Mobil 1 oil change has helped too seeing as I was empty practically!

Do not fit a conical filter in your engine bay - it will loose power - the airbox on standard cars is sealed for a reason! Get a viper or BMC or a custom carbon fibre box made or replace your panel filter with a Green Grp N one - I fitted mine at the weekend and i guarantee my Cup has more...
