Just rang my local tyre fitters, Alba Tyres, and got them to give me a quote on Rainsports, he said £77 a tyre including fitting! Thats like £20 a tyre to fit as they are £47 on http://www.mytyres.comwww.mytyres.com. Anyhow i spoke to the garage i used to get my old car serviced at and they will...

Grrrrr, the spamming thing is cutting in again! Ive just done over 9000miles and im probably about 500miles from being illegal on front and back! ive only done 4000 of those miles and they werent great when i got them! Im thinking either Rainsports or Pilot Exaltos next, what would people...

It mentions in that that the cup does without a passenger airbag, mine seems to have one and has the key whole in the passenger side door to disable it. Did some have them and some not? Max

But i will try that Jim just to make sure!

Nah, defo coming from outside the car, either maybe one of the wheels?

Anyone any ideas?

When im driving at slow speeds and stuff through villages, i can hear a squeeling noise coming from the passenger side, but ouside the car. Its very intermittent, and doesnt just happen when i break or accelerate, and it seems to happen when the car is hot. Anyone any ideas? Max

Ive got a scorpion Lemans on mine with a K&N I/k. Its pretty loud at the moment, and im getting a decat pipe fitted in the next couple of days, ill let you know if ive gone deaf after that!! Im thinking its going to be pretty loud, but hey im young(ish) and i can just about take the dissaproving...

Ill see were my local Charlie Browns is in Leeds, theres also an Alba Tyres on the road i live, they do exhaust and look dodgy as f**k, might see how much theyll do it for. Been to Renault today to order a new gasket kit for it.

Okies, ill defo get it to a garage, i doubt theyll have to cut the bolts off or anything like that as its only a year and a half old. Its only got one hole for the lamda sensor, but ive been told to leave the second sensor on the outside and then there is no probs with the light coming on. Is...

yeah, thats what ive heard, and thats why im not inclined to do it myself. Is yours silenced or not Wacko? can you tell a difference? And whats this about it smelling funny! Max

Jabba, Sad to say, but im not super mechanical, think i get it from my father, he tends to take things to bits then cant put them back together again! The garages hourly charge is £42+VAT so thats why its so much. Im not a lazy git, i dont have a jack! Its a cup remember, taken out to make it...

Buying Rhys decat off him for my cup, and just been around a couple of garages to get an estimate on getting it fitted. Went to kwik fit, think they do exhausts, but apparently its not company policy to fit decats! Been to a garage that used to service my old car, and they say 1-2 hours fitting...

I bought the cup for much of the same reasons that Degars bought his, although the stripped out more focused idea of the car was my main reason for buying . I came from a 106 rallye (but had a Bravo HGT for 6months in between) and the Cup is just the next step, faster and in my opinion miles...

Anyone bought a de-cat for a cup recently, and does anyone know how much they are, and which is the best/value for money one to buy? Ive done a search, but its inconclusive, plus the hill power site is down, so cant check on there. Cheers Max

i could, but im worried about the finish, would it not need to be sealed?

Hi all, My Cup came with a big assed Scorpion exhaust on it (previous owner put that and a K&N i/k on it) , and its not cut into the bumper. IMHO it looks pretty silly, but man it sounds damn good. I was wondering how much it would be to get it cut into the bumper. Im pretty lame at DIY, so it...

Shhhh, maybe he wont see the post!!

hahaha, yeah! My Grandma bought me a thick as F**K road atlas for xmas, and i caught myself thinking the other day "S**t, i should take that out, must be heavy!" Its a lifestyle thang, yah know??!!;)

"Well obviously ive taken the foam out to save weight Mr AA man":devilish:

Cheers, hmm, think ill call the AA out if i have a puncture and pretend i dont have tyre foam!

Sorry to sound thick, but if i use foam to inflate my tyre, does that mean the tyre is then useless afterwards, in the past, if ive had a puncture on my other cars ive slammed on the spare and taken the punctured one to get plugged, im guessing that the foam is non reversable! Am i right or wrong?

Its on the bottom right hand side, it comes on when you turn the ignition, and then just before you need to shift of course! Its difficult to see it too clearly if your concentrating where your going.

When i bought my cup it already had a K&N and Scorpion exhaust on it. Its now done just over 8,000miles and i thought id have a look at the air filter and see how cruddy it had become. It was pretty dirty so ive cleaned it using filter clean and the colour of the cleaner after working it in with...

Well for £135 a light to replace more than the cup youd hope they were 100x better!!!!

Just about to fit new bulbs to my Cup, got no manual or haynes and not fitted to a Clio before, is it easy?

I just thought shelling out £28 for 2 bulbs for my cup was expensive, glad ive not got xenons now!!!

I hope we see something like what happened when they released the bug eyed Imperza, the classic held its value so well because it was mroe desirable, that means when we come to sell our clios they should be worth more (heres me hoping anyhow!)

I came from a 155 Bravo. It felt a hell of a lot quicker and the cornering was amazing compared to the boat of a bravo. I used to have a S1 106 Rallye, and the Cup compares for smiles and handling, but man is it ever quicker than the old Rallye. Youll have a blast mate.
