My Cup 1s 8 weeks old and in the repair centre on friday for 2 dents in one door, 1 dent in the other and a towhook scape in the rear bumper. "b******s". One of the dents was done while it was at the dealer for warantee work, but try and prove it !

top end on CUP is 138MPH. The CUP is also 3mm lower than 172 so this will help on drag coefficient too.

scott8629 We all seem to get the whine on start up. It goes after about 1 min and the general opinion is that it is something to do with the power steering.

I had a new HCU unit too as my window had a mind of its own on day 2 onwards. They never told me a needed the keys re-coded so had to visit again with the spare. Also had the belt and pulley replaced as it kept squeeling. Now my drivers seat doesnt go forward as the lever jams, so Im...

I noticed you mentioned on another thread that your gears crunch alot. I have a CUP also and mine crunches going into 5th (no other gear). At first is was if the revs were over 3k rpm when you slipped it into 5th it would crunch. It has improved a bit now I have done just shy of 2k miles but...

Well said cupsize, however you did forget to mention it out handles the 172 sport and the V6 Clio on the track ! both by over 2.5 secs per lap. Now thats going some !!!

I didnt see the CUP badge on the door pillars so I though it was a sport. I didnt see the whole programe though, did they say it was a CUP ? Anyway I got one and its great fun !

I get the same on full lock to the right and going over bumps. Its more of a squeaky knock, if that makes sense.

Cheers chris172 Ill mention it when I call them later this week. Ive already had a new belt and tensioer fitted after only 1700 miles. Im only just approaching 2k now !

I rang about 15 insurance Cos in dec and Norwich Union Direct were the cheapest by far £45 per month fully comp, No claims discount prot, legal cover, etc. Oh yes and !120 excess !!!

Thank you all for your thoughts, Im still a little undecided but leaning towards not getting one. Having a car that farts and hisses sounds a bit embarrasing around town and a bit of a distration when pressing on and needing to concentrate.

Called the dealer earlier. Said he didnt know what it was so see how it is in a few days and then call to pop it up to them and take the mechanic out for a thrash.

Clio Cup 172 Sport. Anyone else get a weird pulsing squeak at full throttle between 6000 & 7000 rpm under full throttle ? any ideas as to what it is ? Could it be something to do with the Variable Valve timing etc ? Ive only noticed it since I got the car back from the workshop but it may...

Cheers rhys172, Did you use any less fuel ?

The Cup is the new willy, wait and see residual values should be better than the 172. Better suspension and lower, wider track, 89Kgs lighter, faster and belive it or not quite alot of low down torqe because it has less weight to drag around. It is a brill track car as well. You must at...

I am thinking of fitting an Ecotek to my Clio Cup (2002) and wondered in anyone had already tried it out and if it made any difference ?

Cheers for the reply ak_uk, My whine is not occasionally it is everytime I start from cold. Did you ever find out what it was ?

I have a new Cup (1,700 miles now) and it whines for the first minute after staring from cold. Renault said today that they could not hear anything but they must be deaf as it is resonably loud and the pitch changes with revs. Anyone got any ideas as to what it is. I have had a new pulley...
