The car is insured with Renault and they say if its less than 12 months old it will be replaced with a direct replacement.
Car is being picked up on tuesday to go to the bodyshop to be looked at.
Engine does seam ok but the gearbox has dropped its oil.
Have to see what the insurance say...
Im fine. Got burn marks up my arms from the airbag and a bloody nose but other than that fine.
Car has stood up well to the accident really but it is going to be a write off.
Left work tonight andsome tw*t in a Primera pulled out on me as i was doing 50 in a 60 zone.

Mines going back in on the 21st.
Got brake fluid leaking onto the exhaust manifold and when the car is in gear with the clutch depressed, press the throttle and when it reaches about 5K the car lurches forward.
Looks lower in the pic than it actually is. No problems over large speed bumps.
Got a rear splitter to manufacture to go under the bumper yet.
RT-ED Apex -40mm springs
Seats are ok. Take a bit of getting used to but i do quite a lot of miles and have no problems.
Did not want to cut the bumper really. May change the exhaust next year so i decided against it.
Had a meeting with the service guy today.
Looks like the double richness option is not used by the Cup. My ECU has been reset by the service guys according to the garages records last time it was in for warranty work. Due to the over fueling the cat is past its best and causing the loss in...
Sorry Typo. I ment to say 172 not cup.
The code reader is a Sykes Pickering unit that plugs into the diagnostics port under the ash tray. The unit lets you view all the ecu components like parameters and fault codes etc.
f**king Renault Dealer.
When i had my Cup i checked all the settings with a code reader not long after delivery.
I have noticed adrop off in power since it was last in for warranty work.
Checked the ECU with the code reader again and the c**ts have turned the double richness option off...
I will try to get a better pic of it tomorrow for you once i have cleaned it.
poundrick. Car does seam better low down but once i have got my filter on (BMC CDA sp008) it will be put on the rollers and have the fueling sorted if needed.
Insurance did not charge any extra for the seats as i...
Suspension is Apex lowering springs but i will be going for coilovers in the future.
Exhaust sounds sweet but is rather loud (they way i like it) but thats only because i did not have a middle box fitted. Cost me £190 from Top Gear in Doncaster.
I think i might try to do the door cards next.
Trying to do all the work myself.
That is my first attempt at a install and i am quite pleased with the results but still needs a lot of work to get it how i want it to look.
Just removed my foglights ready for the cold air feed to the BMC filter.
I have done most of that list just waiting for my BMC airfilter to come and to finish off my install.
Lowered on 17" Turinis

I put in Focal Polyglass 136V Components.
They sound sweet but are quite a deep speaker so the back of the plastic rain guard has to be removed to get them in.
Got my cup lowered about lowered on november (3 weeks after i picked it up)
Used Apex -40mm 172 Springs Got them for £80 and £40 fitting.
Pic lowered with 17" Turinis

Car was quicker with all the seats stripped out but the Diamond sub is so heavy its like carrying...
