Essex_Lads adapter seems your best bet. £5 is a steal, Ive seen them go for £50!

http://www.shelloptimax.co.ukwww.shelloptimax.co.uk Theres a link for the message board. Have a butchers at it.

Or you could buy an amp with high level input which takes a spearker level input rather than an RCA input. To wire the amp you connect the ground and power as usual, then on the back of the head unit do the following: With a multimeter or circuit tester, find the wire that gives a signal...

Read some of the old posts by using search. In a nutshell, the ECU does the diagnostics on the car, the ABS, the airbag system, and a whole host of other things. For this reason it will not work on anything other than a Cup since the Cup does not have ABS, has half the number of airbags from...

Cool. Interestingly, has anyone been on to the Optimax forum? Theres a bit called ask the expert, the only thing is, no expert has answered any question that has been posted there! :D

No.

Hey I wasnt having a pop or stating you are wrong, just pointing something out. Its a discussion forum at the end of the day, so dont be suprised that someone replies to a post of yours. I agree with what you said as usual, but wanted to add a small detail.

This is the worst thing you can do! A common earth is the way to eradicate unwanted noise from the system.

Id give your car a couple of thousand miles before you get the upgrade ECU for it mate. The ECU is available now and costs £198 + vat + fitting. Its available from R-Sport.

Better safe than sorry mate.

BenR: Higher octane fuels do NOT burn slower, they burn just as fast as plain unleaded once a definate spark comes along.

The pedals on the Cup are superb. They really are that damn good. I have slipped a couple of times with soaking wet feet, but never right off the pedal. The pedals have little outer bevels in them to try and stop this from happening.

The BEST earth point on any car is the negative terminal on the battery. People only do this if they have strange results from earthing the amp anywhere else though as the earth cable in most wiring kits is only a foot long!

Hello all, Have any of you fellow Cup owners heard a grinding noise during hard (and I mean hard) cornering to the left? It sounds like its coming from the rear nearside wheel. Any ideas? My dad has suggested CV joints.

The coolest result an intercooler could ever produce is ambient temperature. This is whats fed to a normally aspriated car anyway so no cooling effects would be produced.

Well the sound is directly related to the cylinder arrangement and quantity. An inline 4 is only gonna sound so good.

Come on, spill the beans - have you fitted it? Whats it like?

So what if the harmonic stress at 8,000 becomes to great one day and things go pop. Take it back to Renault and collect your new engine.

Oh but I drive up to Greenwich a lot and drive very hard :) I used to get 25 mpg before the ECU was fitted. Motorway use goes up to around 35-40 mpg (but only if you reset the counter otherwise you just get the average of all the miles you have done which will be lower).

If youre around the Croydon area Id be more than happy to give you a spin to help you make up your mind :D
