RTOC is not working so want to rant on here lol,
Dont think it liked being held open in top gear for long as the head gasket went,
Any owners here recommend any up-rated gaskets. Cars running approx 180bhp at 19psi?
Is gsf's up-rated gasket any good?
Started strippin her down but only...
The focus will be faster and on the right road surface handle better. My mate has one and although not raced him, been in it and its a supurb car. many mixed thoughts tho!
You can say that again although went out in the 5 today and it is mega lumpy on idle only set the carb up last week... messed around with the mixture etc today to no avail... round my mates tomorrow to re-set it up as he got an air/fuel ratio machine...
Me too a K-Tec one, my cup wont be seeing one tho should a company make one. The cup will settle for a K-TEC stealth wen my backbox falls off lol...
Does sound mint on my 5 tho but its not really different as alotof 5 GTT owners have one.
i might have a spare set as i removed them from my new discs a couple months ago cuz i got a cup? PM me if interested and ill have a look? Just pay me postage?
I got infinity kappa rears and alpine sxs comps in front all 13" running off alpine 9588r headunit and its sooooo much better. Altough being as its the cup with no sound insulation in the front doors there still not very bassy on the move? But still loads better than originals
Apparently with the new MOT system they use now when they key in the reg obviously it knows the car and it comes up with a statement about the rear brakes basically saying they cant fail so ive been lead to believe.
The abs rings weigh sod all (^^^ take them off for weight saving lol - but i...
Direct line were cheapest for me (23 on a cup but with some points) priviledge very close second by £1 more lol im payin 787 fully comp but as said got 9 points (thank you Kawasaki).
Fitted Braided lines a month or so ago, bled the system inc fresh fluid, brakes stop mint, pedal is rock when pushed down, however from inside the car i can hear a "hissing" coming from the pedal/servo? Didn't do it before. re bleed but still no air comes out? any idea's?
Ive heard the boxes are diffrent to normal RS clio's as it has the speedo cable going into it as its non abs other than that i think everything is the same? but i guess this wouldn't concern you if it was a track car, obviously as long as the tacho is working?
Good point although that site is all fictional non are tested speeds its all worked out from power, weight, drivetrain etc.
Ive read other places that a 172 cup is c. 17odd secs 0-100 and the FRS being low 16/ high 15 in standard trim.
But on the road its not a massive difference.
Faster and handle better unless on a shite road surface as the rs are a handful on uneven ground. My mates got one and ive got a cup. Not much faster but not much is enough?
i saw him first lol.
See what the mrs sez been away workin so no doubt she'll kick off if i go out agen but possibly mate yeah! Cleaning the beast later on. In two minds wheather to sell or not fancy a williams plus the extra cash would come in handy?
Poss was me as dropped dad off to get his new van? Around 1 o'clock by any chance? Also the cup is standard dude so maybe not me after all? A did give it beans on way home tho as had to get back to work in Derby?

^^^^ yeah but its only when your lightly pressing them, like really lightly in traffic, but it aint too bad? most up-rated pads squeal so im lead to believe?
Ive got DS2500 pads all round, Brembo H/C front discs, standard rear discks and goodridge lines Excellent IMO, but not tried other set-up than standard but im more than happy.
^^^^ Yeah i did, what did you do? The bearings are in so they are ready to fit and ive got my braided lines as well so might as well do it all together.
Ordered some standard renault rear discs and DS2500 pads for my cup as the rears are fooked, got them yesterday and they,ve sent me drilled discs, Should i send them back and swap them for standard or just fit them. Ive not been charged extra? Just not too keen on Drilled discs and my fronts...
Dont by cheap stuff, you'll regret it! Halfords pro stuff is quite good for the price, ibought some axle stands fromhalfords £20quid for set of 4. Tonne each fort that were reasonable.
