Thought this was a bargain of a mk2 v6 as it was described as a "totally unmolested example" then right at the bottom of the advert he says it is actually a cat d car with a new rear bumper which was hit by a trolley??

After my cup engine expired just out of warranty renault and arnold clark had to fit me a new one!
I still had to pay over a £1k for it which I thought was alot but I had a new engine and a few things thrown in as well..
Now I've just got to run it in all over again!!
Oh and they fitted...
Was out driving my car last night and noticed a high pitch shriek from the bottom right hand side of the engine bay.
It only ever happened when I was doing a decent speed in 5th gear, backing off the throttle over 4000rpm....
I thought it might be a wheel bearing....
Any ideas...
Just saw this on autocar and loved the bit at the end where chris is accelerating from 120kmph to 300....
Look at that needle move!!

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys in the know could help me....
My 172 cup is very sick at the moment, its been using about 3ltrs of oil in the last 2-3 weeks and i put it into the garage today....
I've been checking the oil regularly and it has consistantly been going down and i've...
I just bought this from the renault garage in bearsden for a very cheap price of £15000.... An 07 plate as well....Goes a hell of a lot faster than my 172 cup ever did and it goes round the outside of any rs model in the twisties...
Its in german but listen to the sound of the engine....
Stunning!
Not bad driving either ;)

I'd have mine with the anthracite wheels though :P
Do you think the arch gaps look any bigger/smaller at the front since I put the 182 tyres on there to match the rears??
Or do they look the same??
1.Before new tyres(195/45) 2. After new tyres (205/45)
Got 182 tyres fitted to my cup today (pics)...
Got new 205/45 pe2's fitted to my 172 cup and it has made a nice difference to the grip and traction of the car.
Took some pics after washing it so you could see it...
Maybe get some eibach springs to lower it a bit next...
Cheers

I'm away to puke...
How easy is it to stop the engine/gearbox moving about?? A mechanic friend put it up on the ramps, realigned and tightened the top engine mounts which helped a bit, but they seem to have loosened off again. :( This creates a banging/reverberation when pulling away and accelerating hard in most...
Was right behind a silver 182 with a guy driving towards milngavie along milngavie road in glasgow. Had a sticker in the back window "My other motor is a fireblade" and a 182 cup sticker under the renault badge.
Not 100% sure on the reg but it def was a private plate. Turned left at the...

Still wouldnt buy one though......
Got my car back from repair and Im still getting a vibration when I accelerate reasonably hard in most gears along with a bang when I come on and off the throttle. Any ideas? It was horrific over the weekend but I took it to a mechanic friend that put it up on the ramps and found that the repair...
I got my car back on friday from repair and on the whole I must say Im pretty impressed with the panel gaps and paint job.
However I was driving to a party yesterday and I notice the steering getting heavier and heavier! I pull over and turn the engine off to find all the power steering...
Just found this new vid on evo.... Best of the ones I've seen I think.
Listen to it from outside doing a standing start at the end of the vid.
Sounds like a WW2 fighter. :D

Found a vid on streetfire of the renault f1 car playing god save the queen. I've heard it before and many of you probably have but its prob worthy of a repost!
Listen to how quickly it revs and how high the rpms get!
I'll have one to put in my clio....

Hey rory m8 I saw you while driving home with your mountain bikes on the roof. Just past dobbies garden centre coming from bearsden.
I had a slight altercation with a 60 year old audi driver, it seems like some ppl do not know their limitations on the road!!
Heres a link to what happened...
I was driving to a meeting this afternoon (2pm) down a backroad that I know well when I was involved in a head on accident with a brand new 56 plate A6 audi.
I was coming up to a hairpin bend, (in a 40 zone) when I notice a grey A6 going straight on at the corner! He manages to correct it...
I posted a while ago what when i came on and off the throttle in the dry that it sounded like the front tyres were breaking traction with the road in 4th on a dry road! I got a vid of it last night and it seems that its a knocking noise....
What do you think it is? Gearbox or engine mounts...
I really dont know what I was thinking... Came home from work shattered, needing my kip and I decided to wash and polish my cup! All by hand! Wish I hadnt of started cos my arms were dead afterwards! I really need a pc!!!
Anyway here are some pics.... Tell me what you think!
I noticed as...
I dont know if he is on here but I saw a 182 cup right behind me on Shields Road at kinning park last night. I think the reg plate was gl something. It looked like "glasgow". Gave the guy a wave as he pulled past me.
Good to see another renaultsport owner!
