Direct line for me too. Cup, 32, 7yrs NCB, £450. Oh, and I live in Wrexham. Tescos and Liverpool Victoria were both close at around £520-550.

They definately do fitting; theyve got about 5 or 6 bays. Not sure about the arch rolling though - I dont think theyve got a body shop but I could be wrong (even though I only live 4 miles from them, Ive only been maybe 10 times). Ive used them for suspension work and theyre faultless. They...

Can we talk gains per £ for a mo? Ive just spent £300 on a superchip remap and probably gained no more than 6 or 7 bhp (although the superchips website quotes 10), but f*ck me, has the car changed!! Torquey or what??? The car is flying. Now can I put this gain into a driveability context? I...

Was it white? Honda made a type-r spec 3 door for the jap market between 98 and 2000. Uses same 1.6 vtec engine as the vtis of that generation, but tuned to about 185 bhp, with rev limit close to 9000rpm (normal ones were 160bhp and 8000rpm). Well respected by honda fans, and very very few in...

What ecu is it Joel?

Cheers Philip. I only really want a filter element and chip; I may go for an exhaust at some point, but I certainly wont be going further than that, ie head work & TBs. So it sounds like a superchip may be better then? How easy is it to swap back to normal - is a superchip a device or simply a...

After pming a few guys on here who have had the r-sport ecu fitted, I decided to go ahead and place my order. I spoke to Jonathon at R-sport on Tuesday this week, and just before I ordered I double-checked the warranty position with him. He said it wasnt an approved upgrade, and that whilst it...

Wow. I want to come next time, too. Tim Os cup has the r-sport ecu,etc, but is Charlie Cups cup standard? And what about the other cars today - with the exception of the v6, they all appear to have got really decent times, so have they all been modded?

Anyone know who was driving the car with the camera in? It looks like a 91-95 EG civic vti interior?

Have you got any further speed comparisons, say 70-90?

I think the amount of torque steer the cup has is one of its best features. It makes you anticipate every bit of violent acceleration, and plan your gear changes in advance so you can keep both hands on the wheel for as much of the time as possible. Not since my last 205 gti (5 years ago) have I...

Got mine mid March 03, 4600 miles now, £450 fully comp (direct line, 32, 7yrs ncd). Best car ever.

I reckon its just the light - it looks like a dull day, so the blue looks darker. They look even darker at night.....

172man - ta for the link. The magnex looks great - how much, and where from?

Ive got more of a rumble, at say 10-20mph, from drivers side top mount. Im taking it to my dealer on Saturday am.

Top response Mike. Mk2s are cute. My wife suggested I have a go in one, when all I thought I wanted was an impreza, a CTR or an ITR. My Clio makes me smile.

Sure do. Sound is awesome - I keep trying to replicate that sound in my cup, but it just sounds fizzy by comparison.

Cup snobbery my arse. I bought a cup because renault had put the 172 on a diet, meaning that I didnt need to go on one. Ive gone from 174bhp in a 1300kg Golf VR6 to 172bhp in a 1021kg cup: result = I can still be a fat b*****d. Cup owners will be gutted if we get any 80 degree days this...

172man - it was me who posted the bit about your vid on scoobynet; sorry, I couldnt remember whether it was a mk1 or 2, and I was trying not to over- state the point: clios are substaintially quicker than this bloke thinks, and he should get out there and dirve one.

Cheers Paddy & Pep

I know this has been discussed a few times, but can anyone point me in the right direction to get one of these things? Do R-Sport have a website? And whats the latest on the Renault warranty position? Cheers

And dust it regularly....

Got my Jan 03 (52 reg) cup with 3000 miles for £11k from main renault dealer, plus got £500 p/x for my old scirocco, so £10500 cash. Had £13k to spend, so now looking to get r-sport ecu and maybe some 17s.

Old renault proverb says - "Lumber adjustment mechanism = weight;weight = bad thing; therefore must ditch the lumber adjustment mechanism" Shame Im 15 stone, then really. Renault would have me on lipposuction or something.

Ive been saving for a CTR since they came out 18 months ago. During that time I must have test driven 7 or 8, and I was totally in love and convinced. Ive had 2 civics before, an ESi (crap) and a VTi (ace). With the help of a bank loan I managed to get to £13k about a month ago, so off I went to...

Me too! Tell us now!
