Hi all, am planning on moving the battery to under the passenger seat as a few people have done on here. Have seen that some have made a different intake setup with a straight pipe off the TB rather than use the standard one. I want to stick with an airbox rather than a cone filter, but...

hi all, me and a mate (Ollie) were at loose end yesterday, so thought that what with living at the the edge of the New Forest we'd go for a bit of a drive and take some pics. Sadly we had to cut the day short as Ollies Leon overheated and then he killed his brakes, yet the Cup didnt falter...

Hi All, had some work done by a well know renault specialist last week. The told me when it was in that a driveshaft boot clip had failed, but that they'd secure it for me (for some reason this also cost £30) in 2 minutes. the way in which it was done has worried me a little though. they...

Are you on here? Seen this car 3 times, same time every day, on the A272 on the way towards winchester. I'm in a blue 03 172 cup. Waved the first time but not acknowledged, so got a feeling he isn't on here Ed

Bought my cup today, and the previous owner mentioned the wheel bearing went a while ago, and p*ssed grease and muck all over the inside of one of the wheels. The mess has obviously got more and more weathered on, and having tried both fairly intense wheel cleaner and Meguiars APC neither...

Picked up my 172 cup today, and it seems to have a dullish rattle from the rear generally when going over bumps. I have one idea that it could be, being that the exhaust is rattling on the rear subframe/axle? but not knowing the clios very well there may be an obvious problem thats a common...

Anyone local to hatfield, herts who is free today to come and help me out. Looked at a Cup last night, and going back for a daytime look today. As I've never bought one I'm somewhat a novice in looking for the important bits, but have done my looking around here and have picked up a bit...

Hey all, a question for those who run a cage on an everyday basis. who are you insured by? and do they make a massive difference to your premium? hope this isnt a regularly asked question :( ed
