Does anyone know if the COBRA Imola buckets will fit into a cup? Whats involved when changing when it comes to airbags/lights and all that?

Right, got the money for some H&R coilovers and just going to order them from motorsport world. Do I order a Janspeed decat aswell, got the money and theyre only 130 quid if remember right? or is there something else I could get, within reason? Comments very welcome.

I just spent 2 days driving to Germany and back in a long transit. It was great fun and not bad to drive but BUGGER me, my cup feels like a go-kart now. Solid as rock and fast fook! I should do more often. Even my old knackered brakes feel like 4-pots LOL.

Just went to my local dealer near me (who are a bunch of muppets but theyre close) and they quoted me £233 for a 36k mile service, can that be right? I know theyre not cheap and the woman said all that is done is pollen, air and oil filter change...Im cinfused?! I thought there was a lot more...

Right, need some fellow cliosporters advice. My cup is coming up for the big 36k service and that wont be cheap. My concern is my cup is a 52 plate so maybe a high miler and not sure whether to keep it and do stuff to it or opt for a racing blue 182 and do stuff to that? I really want...

Anyone know of the extra costs to my premium if I was to claim for a new front bumper on my cup? Ive aquired quite a few stone hits and what looks to be cats scratching away! Its not a major problem but would be nice to have a tidy nose. Do the premiums go up a lot?

Anyone had or know when the pics from the r/sport trackday will come through?

Got a cup and tried removing the rear seats but cant seem to disconnect the central bit?? any tips welcome, want to be light as posssible for tommorow at bedford.

The reason I ask is that over the past few months a guy has been coming round my road in a Y plate mk1 172 covered in decals one of which is Mark Fish Motorsport. Theres a chequered flag, Autosport mag, OZ, Michelin and a few more. Doesnt look too bad, got OZ super Ts, body kit, Magnex exhaust...

Dont suppose theres anyone in the Herts/Essex/Beds area that knows how to change springs on a cup is there? Im extremely reluctant to pay 80-100 snots for just the work. I appreciate its not a quick or easy job but surely theres a like minded petrol head out there that wouldnt mind helping me...

Does anyone know of a good garage that can fit lowering springs around the herts/essex/beds area. I know of R-tec but theyre a bit pricey.

I saw this on Lee Ms Scotland pics, what exhaust is it. Looks like it sits into the bumper a bit, am I right? I like it. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1084375232__scotland102.jpg

Right, hopefully this will be the last time I post about lowering springs (I just want to get it right) as Im probably boring everyone?? Just spoke to K-tec and they recommend their own 30mm drop springs. Pis are cheap and local for me to get them fitted but only 25 & 15mm drop. Eibachs...

Ive read a few posts on lowering springs for a cup and not sure what ones to go for. BB say they do a lot of -40mm springs, too low in my mind?? They also do the Pi ones but theyre only -25mm & -15mm. But, Id rather go for Eibachs but have heard theyre not a big drop, only -10mm? I checked...

Ive tried using the search feature and obviously being a blonde and not typing the right words?! Ive got a cup, love it and doubt ill be changing, even for the biggie at 36000 miles. So, Id love to add some extra jing to whats already there. Im probably going to get some springs fitted (not...

Just had some F1s fitted to my cup (GS-D2s) and Im finding them really squidgy, especially at the rear, they seem to make the car feel like its swaying. Is there a running period at all?? They dont seem as hard as the contis. Does anyone else find this at all?

Just had 4 new GS-D3s fitted to my cup, theyre really squidgy and the back end seems on edge when not going straight!! Is there a bedding in peroid at all does anyone know? All the reviews Ive heard in here and in the mags say they are great...perhaps its because theyre brand new. Comments...

Has anyone put Pi springs a cup yet. The place I spoke to said they are a 15mm drop at the front and 25mm at the back. Im not too fussed on how low it looks but more so the handling.

How long should main beam lamps last in a cup?!?! Im getting intruiged why Im changing them so often. Could there be a problem somewhere that has caused me to change 2 since xmas?? Any help would be apprecieted folks, cheers.

I got some EBC kevlar pads about 2000 miles ago and they quickly devloped a knocking sound. Thought it was serious o took my cup in and they told me because they werent pattern pads (renault) they may be a slightly different size. Fair enough I thought but they said theres nothing wrong them at...

I should be getting a bit of cash soon, enough for a mod or 2 on my Cup. Dont want to slam it (although a little drop might be ok) nor do I want to change wheels etc. Im much more interested in doing stuff under the bonnet. Viper kits, replacment filters etc... To tell the truth, I havent got...

Ive just seen the lowering springs on the K-tec site, anyone know how good they are cos theyre quite a bit cheaper than the Eibachs?

Has anyone ever seen or done powder coating for alloy wheels. Id love to get my Turinis on my cup in Anthricite or as near as. I know it wouldnt cost much but finding someone to do it is another thing, and how well to? Any comments would be great.

Ie just had some EBCkevlar pads fitted to my cup, let them bed in for about 300 miles but gave it some big time lovin the other night and now I get a quiet knock when I apply pressure?! Its hardly noticable but wasnt there before and mainly happens when braking lightly at around 10-40 mph. It...

Ive been searching for info on the Goodyear Eagle F1s. The Contis on my cup are not far off being changed, this time all 4 which is a b**ch. Ive seen theres lots of talk about GS-D2s and D3s. My tyre guy says D2s arent available in the 195/45/R16 size but Ive noticed people in here have...

Weve all been here before, the question of lowering a cup. Ive had mine now for just over a year, done a trackday and it gets better every day I drive her. Ive just forked out 300 snots for the bonnet to be resprayed because of large stone chips/flakes which Renault didnt want to know about...

Ive just gone over 18000 miles in my cup and she seems a bit quicker, especially in the lower gears. I remember my old focus loosened (spelling) up after about the same. Has anyone else had this?

After around 6-7000 miles my Cup went into renault for a small part to be fixed. I also asked them to check the brakes because they were sqeeking. I got the car back and they said a stone had rotated through half of the brake pad and got stuck, resulting in a ring that appeared on the disc...

Im going to have to get tyres soon-ish, thought I might go for the Goodyear F1s. Trouble is I need 4!! Can someone give me the full name and number/spec of the tyre, I know the sizes LOL. Cheers

Lately my clutch pedal has been a bit sticky in my cup, it doesnt have a smooth action, has anyone else had this? I just hope its not the clutch itself?
