Got the brochure from local dealers 0-62 in 7.4 so it shouldnt be far off a 172 then..............

Cup is tooo boaty - loads of grip but dont like the roll around corners - needs to sit lower to the deck! Anyone any advise on decent springs or set of coilovers to use? Want a noticeable drop now peeps!

Just arrived in post this morning...........brilliant advertisement feature by Renault - 12 pages long............NEw V6, 172 CUp and 172 - all the hot renaults...........fab!

Does anyone know if the british clio cup series is shown on TV or anything?

Mine clunks from 1st to 2nd to 3rd and its very loud - this is a common problem on 172s and cups - mines in for the third time to get it sorted - its also to do with the clunking you get on full lock and they think its the engine mounts - needs a rubber bush fitted to solve the problem - very...

Mk 2 1.6 16V was badged 16V until they added leather etc and rebadged it RSi - it was also marketed as the new clio 16V......!

Neil 0-100 of the cup is quicker than the Cupra R - what are you on about (16.9)

Yuukkkkkkkkk..................subtle rules.......that dont

2.0L Turbo ............6 secs to 60.............not really worth changing the cup then for 0.4 secs....................if it had been sub 5.5 then maybe...........still not really a contender for any of the Jap specials..........suppose the Focus RS will have a bit of trouble but on the road I...

Actually 2 issues ago - they thought the 180 was poo and the cup was probably the best hot hatch since the original 205 GTi....................

Has anyone considered that this may be a megane where the owner has stuck 2 exhausts on the back and a set of 18inch rims - its not an official photo? Still nice though - say a blue one the other day with a set of 19s on and the wheels really made a difference!

Ill post the phone number/email tomorrow if I remember! Anyone who has a copy of last weeks Autocar (V6/Porsche on the front ) its at the back in the adverts etc!

Saw an advert at th eback of last weeks Autocar (the one with the new V6 vs the Porsche 911) for TGR Racing - they are now offering owners of 172s and Cups upgrades including 200BHP engine, suspension, exhaust, brakes, interior etc - basically id you want a cup racer they will do it, but at last...

Theres a brand new one here in belfast for £10,995 - some dozy woman put down a £2000 deposit then discovered she couldnt get insurance and doh lost all the cash!!! thats why its £10,995

The performance difference is more noticable as you get to 100............16.9 against 20 odd?

Cup is 6.5 to 60, 6.9 to 62.........The Mk2 is 7.1/2 ......and the cup is 16.9 to 100 wheras the Mk 2 is 207 to 100 so there is a difference performance wise.

Cup has been in with local Renault Service dealers for 4 days!!!!!! Wrote to Renault Custyomer Service UK with a full list of everything that was wrong with the Car! Getting it back today with everything fixed (fingers crossed) its been in twice before with everything supposedly fixed and the...

Just buy OZ superTs in 18" size with 205/30 tyres or someat?

It says with only 200 examples to be sold in france from June 2003??? Has Renault UK issued a similar press release coz if they havent its not available over here surely?

Agree with Neil - anybody can tune a turd to hit sub 6 secs - if we tuned our cups/172s with all that wed be hitting 5 secs! Its not rocket science! look at how the Nitrous fitted to Top Gears striped out Jag absolutely wasted the worlds fastest supercar! Impressive times all the same -...

Ventilation under dash falling to bits Brake limiter valcve has been missing since delivery hence clunking noise from rear and rear pads are done after 12000 miles wheras front ones hardly used! paint coming of under arches 4000RPM rattle still not fixed tracking/wheel alighment dodgy...

Exactly - never more so than now will it be "thats a Mk2 without the goodies" wheras the cup in blue was kinda different due to the colour and marketing hype! I dont think it should be called a CUP172 coz it aint, just like a silver williams if they had made one wouldnt have been a true...

Never said it was a billabong Jes! Was comparing the joint venture of Sony and Renault as with Renault and Billabong/MTV etc. And never said it bothered me either - its just the yellow 172 bagdes on the door pillar will be a bit lost and the cup will always be asscociated now with the mondial...

Also had a knock - stopped just in time - was accelerating and didnt see the traffic ahead but the brakes locked up for about 50 yards!!! CADENCE...............anyone!

Its not a cup - its silver and called the RS PS2 and its only available in France! Its like a Billabong except a collaberation between Sony and Renault! A good collaberation at that! Its a silver cup in the fact it has all the traits and trimmings of le cup but in silver so its gonna look...
