I figured this thread is a good excuse to post some pics up of my old 6

No its never been on a track. I do get days where I go places that have interesting roads and I hoon it around and it handles well and pulls nicely, but for the last year I have mainly just used it for the mile journey to work or the shops. When I had my 535i Sport I did like jumping back into...

What started it was reading the thread comparing the 172 cup to a GTi6. I genuinely enjoyed that car alot more than the clio. It just felt like it was built better. Half the problem I think is the condition of it. I love the look of it when its clean, but don't have the gear or facilities to...

Had my Cup about 18 months now and I seem to be at a stage where i'm not happy with it. I look at it sometimes and don't like the lines of it and wish I had something else. Had it standard for about a year, then I fitted some coilovers and changed the wheels to have a different look. I am...

Pliers or molegrips and a bit of elbow.

Amazing. Would love to see an invoice for that lot!

A retro BMW is what you want.

When I first got my Cup I thought it was quiet loud for standard compared to other cars I had owned. At least she can't moan if you make it louder! Or she may make you buy a Diesel.

Go into Renault and ask for exterior stickers. They will bring up a page full of random graphics that you have never seen before with part numbers. It's probably one of them.

How did it go? What's she push out in reverse?

Just listen to the guys at the Dyno place.

Someone has put them on. You can even get Playstation stickers from Renault

Dude, if the place is worth their weight they will do everything for you and explain the figures etc. when they did mine they just drove it through the first 3 gears slowly and then put it in 4th as its a long gear and revved the whole way through it. Thats how you get your peak etc. Fred can...

Ive had dyno's done in 4th also. That is what the place did it in, I had no input I just trusted their knowledge!

LOO in the 306 was more fun also. When I give the Clio some beans I think its going to fall apart. The GTi6 flat out feels planted and composed. The Cup over 100 feels like a bin lid in a gale. Saying that, it was probably due to a fluffed shock on one side!

I owned both together. I prefered the GTi6. The Cup is quicker off the mark after say 20, more revvy and feels faster due to build quality. The 306 launches better, handles higher speed much nicer, and is a more comfortable place to be in. I miss the 6, would have another but would never find...

Jeez those wheel tool a beating. Theres a crack through the inside on one by the looks of it! I have the same wheel on mine :(

Can't believe you sold the Vee! I have white wheel on my cup and think it looks alright against the blue. Depends on the design though really as 172 wheels cover a large surface and it might be a bit much.

Hat of to you! Amazing work.

You have a point really. What printer do you have that costs a quid a cartridge?

I think I will take a punt on something like a 4050 though, cheap enough to buy.

Oh and, How big is your lunchbox :cool:

Is that a sign that they don't have faith in them anymore and are uneconomical to maintain :dapprove:

Was looking at the 4000, 4050 and 5N, that sort of thing. Most are sold as refurbished, but if they cost that much to fix I imagine they are very basically refurbished - more like cleaned and given a quick check over.

I am only after a mono, really don't have the need for colour.

Don't really want to spend that much on one, but if they are cheaper second hand I can go down that route. Any model numbers in particular on the later ones?

I am after a cheapy laser printer, looking at second hand ones on Ebay from office clearances etc. Through school, college, and various work places everywhere I have been have used HP LaserJet printers. The toners seem reasonably priced, the printers themselves have been going for over ten...

Was posted when VAT was 15% ;)

Good purchase. I got clear side repeaters from Renault, as the Ebay ones look crap with the fully clear sections. The renault ones are more frosted and look much better. £21 quid inc VAT iirc.

I have Ktec coilovers fitted and I would of preffered it to go a bit lower at the back. I'm at the lowest and its fine, but would like the option of going a bit more to level the car out a bit more.
