That exhaust seems to hang very low:S What bore size is the tailpipe out of interest?

Not at all, can see it on most movies (high contrast areas) and high FPS games suffer badly too. A few guys on avforums seem to see them too ;)

Not all people can see them, it depends on your retinas sensitivity to them AFAIK.

Loving the stance mate, but I hate you as I now want some coilovers :(

Hopefully you two can make it too, I'm thinking hitting the pub after would be good (or other suggestions?)

I'm from Derby, but am often in Ilkeston / Giltbrook / Nottingham :)

Sound:approve: Any other takers? Any suggestions as to a place to actually meet-up?

Just off Danebridge Crescent :) :cool: I'm 'hoping' to go to FCS. Anyone up for a meet-up this Sunday evening? (working until 5:30:()

Yeah its a Blue 172 cup mate :) Derby mini meet ftw?;)

They are truly mind blowing when running a good Blu-Ray transfer:evil:, I've never seen black levels quite like the Kuro produces. I'd still choose a 60" Kuro or commercial Panasonic panel + separate TV tuner tbh;)

Small world - I live in oakwood not 5 minutes from spondon! Seen this car a few times myself, looks very smart:)

The motion tends to suffer when a static image and panning shot or a static shot and a moving image occur, especially at higher rates of movement. Mine has 24fps and IFC also, but I leave IFC off as I find the interpolation doesn't help matters. I do find the 24 fps makes the image smoother...

Nice TV, realistic colours and good black levels I find they suffer from motion lag and Phosphor lag too though:(, the only plasma I have viewed that doesn't suffer from the latter is the Pioneer Kuro range (which no longer exists as they have withrawn from the high end home AV market). (My...

Just out of interest, do you have any pictures of the system fitted? Whats the fitment like? (I'm presuming its a catback system with an Imola 4 backbox?) As I said the information could well be inaccurate but thought I'd ask on here in case you knew something I don't.

Sorry, which section would have been more suitable? (Although I don't see why the hell I'm apologising tbqfh) Eh? *Edit - Cheers for moving the thread to the correct section*:)

After trying to get a price on a scorpion exhaust for my 172 Cup I was informed by the monkeys at halfords and motorworld that Scorpion had gone bankrupt:S. Anyone else heard anything else about this? The Scorpion Site seems to be running as per so its probably just the usual 'accurate' info...

Arian Flux (Red star) for me. £660 FC with 3 points TS10 25, 6 years driving and 6 years NCB. 172 Cup. I remember the days of paying 4 figure insurance sums - crazy!:clown:

Cheers for the suggestions guys. Have contacted the respective companies now :) Many thanks Anthony

As per title really. As my 172 cup is 6 years old and with 28k on the clock, it needs the cambelt replacing asap. Any CS members had the cambelt / aux belt changed in the Derby /Nottingham / East midlands area? As both K-tec and ren-tech are too far away:( Many thanks Anthony

Whaaaaaat?:S Its a standard plate:S

Thought I'd add some new pictures after its clean yesterday :) Comprised of : Prewash - Megs Shampoo Plus with a cheapy Super Spray attachment Wheels - Bilberry Wheel Cleaner 4:1 Wash - 2 BM with Sonus Mitt / Megs Shampoo Plus Pressure washed clean Clay - Sonus Green Clay bar with some Shampoo...

Cheers mate, will add the air filter to the list :)

Cheers muchly :)

Due to my newly aquired Cup developing an oil leak:cry:, and requirng a replacment gasket, I have decided to service the car at the same time. Oil - from what i've read Silkolene 5w-40 Pro S 5w-40 seems to be reccomended - is this correct? Spark Plugs - NGK PFR6E-10 (as reccomended by...

Cheers:D

So much better! The handling on the cupra was dire, you turned the wheel and there was a small delay until it actually reacted, a very detached driving experience. With this however, the handling is crisp and responsive, very happy with it so far:approve:

Thanks for all the comments, I was after a sub 40k example, so when this was advertised I had to go and take a look:approve: Needs the cambelt replaced asap though, also got a few scratches on the boot (where i think the renaultsport badge was removed) and one or two on the roof which will be...

Owned a Mk3 Ibiza Cupra for the last couple of years, but decided on a change of car, and it seems to have been a good decision, love the 'snappy' handling - a real joy to drive:approve: Its a 2003 cup with 28k on the clock, only collected it today so a few quick pictures at the moment : -...

Cheers for the prompt replies:approve: So would you reccomend the bolt / wheel arch / sideskirt option or the new clip / rivet option? Final query - do renault sell these clips? Many thanks for your help so far:D Anthony

Im collecting my new (well new to me:rasp:) 172 cup on thursday, on the small list of jobs the garage was to correct prior to collection - one was to re-affix the passenger side skirt which has come loose near the front wheel arch. He contacted me today to say he couldnt source any clips from...
