Autocar tested one 172cup at 16.9 0-100. Dfferent cars and conditions etc. Power to weight ration seems to favour the cup still, but who gives a sh*t anyway over .2 of a second to 100

I wouldnt tell them, the insurance assessor would never know.

Dont sign it, and dont drive like an idiot in built up areas !!

Im pretty sure it uses the same 8MM square plug as the old clio models. Can get them from Halfords and such like

get them from your local renault dealer

If you can afford finance than I would get a loan. You can sell the car as and when you please. If you make sure the loan has no early repayment penalties on it, then if you did get shot of the car you can clear the loan without losing out. 0% is great but are you likely to keep the car for...

Driving on a twisty road isnt going to prove anything if one of you knows the road better than the other ?

How noisy are these vipers? Im not a big fan of induction noise

When did this update come out?? What problems did it address

Mine used to do the wavy thing but only on long motorway journeys. When the car had the strut mount mode the problem went away. I can only assume it was a dodgy connection which was put back after the work was completed or they just noticed it by chance( I never mentioned it to the garage)...

Number 1 is the strut mount top modifiction. There is an ACTIS bullitin for this at your local Renault dealer and they should be quite aware of it. Cant comment on number 2 Number 3 dosent sound like anything to worry about, they all tick over a little uneven. 4 The filter will or should...

K-TEC are recommending the Apex springs in place of the Eibach ones now as these sit better on the rear and actually drop the car by the amount expected. These are cheaper too - £85 This is for the 30mm drop only though

Do you run these viper kits with a group N ECU, and what sort of gains have you seen on the dyno. Sorry to bring up ECUs again

Where did you get this info from, and are you 100% sure about them being the same ?

Cant comment on individual systems, but if you want power you must go for a closed unit. Closed units do not suck in the hot air around the engine compartment so you get better breathing and a good cold air supply. The colder the air the more dense it is and the better the burn which then...

Dont know where you got that idea as I have done this on many personal loans and agreements when I want to pay it off early. These days they expect you to pay it off with some sort of credit card over the phone. Having said that there may be some clause in the small print on some agreements...

Probably didnt make myself understood very well. Yes it is emmissions based but as maaaaartin has just added, without it, it will fail so my first post applies at that point.

OLLZIE ring a renault dealer or speak to K-Tech racing I have been told 42mm.

Cup wheels are 42 MM, check with K-tec if you dont trust me

Anyone know a good car body repair shop in the Bromley South London area Someone who knows what their doing and gets things done on time

Get your thermostate checked. It could be a badly calibrated temp gauge, but that sounds to high to me

Most of these cards are 3 to 5% minimum. Thats going to be about 500 quid each month, but if you shift the car quickly thats no problem. Your credit rating should be OK as you got the finance in the first place, but you will need to shop around to get a card with 10000 on it first go. Have...

Without reading the rest of these posts here goes If the car requires the cat which if I remember rightly is after 1992, then it must be fitted and working. If your cat fails the MOT then it needs to be replaced before you are road legal. If you take it off your not road legal. It is the...

If you can get a credit card with a high enough credit limit and 0% finance for 6 to 9 months, then you can deal with the Renault finance direct and pay it off using the card. Then you can sell the car and pay of the credit card. Easy enough and it will save you nearly 2 grand, with...

Thats confused me even more MM ecu ??? Where do you get a Renault sport catalog

It would appear I have kicked the whole thing off again. This is what I now for sure - the Group N chip from Hillpower is a renault developed mapping, but it may not be a renault part as such. The R-sport chip from Radbourne Racing I belive is developed by Radbourne themselves, but this may...

Your experiance !! As I said before different tyres for different people (driving styles) The conti tramline because their hard walled like the Bridgestone potenza on my Subaru. I do find the Conti turn in a lot sharper because of this, so its a bit of give and take as to what you like.

PM me for a reminder and I will let you know. Have been looking into Radbourne Racing and they seem like a top outfit, so if it is a different chip I guess I will just have to conclude which might be better. see what they say

I am still trying to get sense over the Hillpower group N chip and the R-sport chip. Some say they are the same. Im going to go to R-sport this weekend to get the facts face to face. One thing is fact, the Hillpower is a renault Group N developed chip for sure. According to Nick anyway

Depends on the finance option. If its Hire Purchase then you need to clear it first because it technically belongs to the finance company. If you did manage to sell it on and stopped paying the finance, the finance company could take the car from the new owner leaving them with nothing...
