Are there any plans for another Vmaxx group buy? :cool:

Shouldn't be on a Sport forum ;)

I spent 5 mins going up and down the fuel lines looking for the fuel filter on my Cup... Then a search on here confirmed my suspicions that it had an in tank filter!

Have you been on it? Tempted to take the wife on but the view of the building site in front, and the barriers along the sea front put me off! Probably pricey too

Dump valve yo?!

Theres a thread about it. Someone took the piss and recommended someone painting thier wheels amphasite and the OP believed it was a finish. Or something like that!:clown:

51.9 MPG on the Motorway in my 172 Cup last weekend. Well.. was until the Arctic I was following pulled out and then it started dropping :(

They arent there to give do you a favour and give you what your car is worth hassle free, they are a buisness, they thrive on people being desperate for cash who will sell on the day cheap to save hassle and get quick money. Might come as a shock to some of you that they will sell your car on...

I can measure my 52 plate 172 Cup rear trim if your still after more measurements?

Small firm roller?

Pretty much how I would like my cup to look! Just need the entusiasm to do it

4 seater Cups FTW!

I know a few students. I can almost bet that they would have washed the bacon off and eaten it if they found it on their car! Ive also eaten off worse surfaces TBH

Il get a pic to show what I mean

Had my brake discs and pads changed recently and have noticed that the outer half of the disk is clean, and the inner inch or so is rusty where the pads havent made contact. Are the pads slightly raised when new on the outer edge to cause this? Or are my calipers foofed. Same on both sides on...

Been looking at the Cheddar meet, a drive through the gorge is on order!

Something isnt right, just cant put my finger on it

I sold my last car on Pistonheads, and only allowed enquires via email. I don't like to put my number in adverts as when sold you will always get people ringing asking if its still available - which i find annoying. I know you can use the feature whereas they list a phone number, which puts...

Ive fitted new dogbone mount and packed out my top engine mount with some rubber shims. The engine doesnt is solid, but makes the car vibrate on idle which is annoying

I got a new mount for £32 from Renault

Im from Somerset. Been over to Yeovil a few times in the last month to have work done on the Cup

Turn them inside out

Brand new battery sorted it? I am still on the original actually on a 52 plate.. Maybe why. Il have to get it checked. Thanks for the help :star:

My clock never loses time so the battery seems to be fine. Thought it might have been an issue with it not being a permanent live and the memory not working?

To save another thread, and seeing as this one has been answered... My mileage reset, that I push in when at the petrol station (goes to all 0's) is reset every time I start the car. So I have the 'miles travelled so far in current journey' read out exactly the same as what my trip computer...

Lowering my GTi-6 made the policy cheaper :) They wanted more for my Cup a year, but stayed with them as I changed over cars 9 months into the policy. If they dont beat other quotes I get in June, i'l go elsewhere. Simple.

Surely thats obvious? If you fit bigger brakes, you are showing you probably intend to brake later so you can go faster for longer. Same reason why roll cages are frowned upon. They could save you some serious injury, but having one classes you as the high risk type that thinks they need one...

any news?

Its your car. If you think it improves it, do it. If we all said it would look good if you had 'im gay' in masking tape on the back window, would you do it because some keyboards said so? :D

With the niggles you will have with a cup alone, you will be glad you havent gone for the normal 172 with more things to go wrong :clown:
