Just called them today - dont use rolling road to set up mapping for cars with mods but do use a different map for modded cars. Cost about £290 all in with about 9/10 BHP and 10/12 f Lbs torque. Anyone had this done on a 172 / cup ? and was it worth it ?

A topic much talked about a few weeks ago. Had mine checked as my rear brake discs had almost as much wear as the fronts (9200 miles now) and a few scary moments when having to brake on corners as the rear end didnt feel quite right. Checked operation as in previous posts (gently press brake...

my front tyres are prob about 1.5k off needing replacing and I go and get a nail throught the wall of the rear....typical. I cant find anyone that stocks or lists the Cup tyre. Can anyone help ? I heard that anything else on the Cup doesnt suit it fully and I dont want to loose any...

I have to put in about 100 mills every 1000 miles that will be just over a litre between 12000 mile services. I ran it in very carefully but do drive it rather hard most of the time. What does everyone else usually use between services ?

Anyone else get tappet like noise around 2.2k Rpm ? (thats when it is worst). Around town with walls / hedges etc to bounce the sound back. It just seems a little too much for 7k miles on the clock ! Windows shut and you barely hear a thing. If you rev it at 2.2k Rpm at a stand still wth the...

Does it start as a buzz c 4k when cold and disappear when warm ? Thats what I had this morning. Only quiet though.

Any one else get this from the left N/S front wheel when pulling away sharpish sometimes ? Sounds like the wheel bouncing rather than spinning.

Had a couple of dashes to 60 at the weekend. First time from a layby, bit dusty so the wheels slipped a bit in first. 6.55 secs. Second time, no cars about so I stopped on the carrigeway, got the perfect start, no wheelspin, good traction all the way through first, quick smooth gear change...

Thought it may be a bit of a challenge (168PHP) . Easy picking, rolling start (35mph) in 2nd gave him about 8 car lenghts. when he booted it I followed, by the time i was changing to 3rd I was 2 car lenghts behind, then had to start backing off. Slowed down to 60 ish in third for traffic to...

Who knows what it is for ? Do you actually get full throttle without it clicking ? Is this why rolling roads give such varied Bhp readings? Who knows ? I dont .............. P.S. mine has a plastic disc on the floor, not a switch. The switch is actually part of the throttle assembly.

I noticed last weekend, when washing the car it has plastic front wings. Is this just the Cup or 172s and other Clios as well ?

No probs pulling away from the start, the git gave up just as I reached for third. Sore looser I think !

Oh great Reno Guru maybe you can help me. My Dealership will not supply and fit a RSport ECU as they say it doesnt exist on their parts database and is it is not on there then it will invalidate my warrenty anyway. Why are they telling me this ? and what can I do to correct it ?

I now have 4k miles on the clock (no 4k rattle yet) but my tickover is sometime quite lumpy, you can feel it in the car as it coughs. Is this normal for the 172 engine ? ro should I get it checked ? Perfomance seems ok.

I get a slight clunk from the right hand side (Cam belt side) when I come off the gas driving around town sometimes. Has anyone else had this and what is it. I have cheched the top engine mount as I thought it could be that (Centre bolt was finger tight only, so I gave it a tweak, still no...

Anyone with a Cup, fitted the K-tec exhaust ? The valvers say it is very loud. When I spoke to K-tec they said it was not as loud as the valver version. I dont ming a nice sport noise, but not at a level that would wake the dead (or the neighbours)

Ah ha, not so fast after all ! Pulled away at the lights on motorway slip road on a corner, held him in 1st. Changed to second and he was very slowly pulling ahead, Blast ! rev limiter hits early as engine has only been running 5 mins max and now his tail lights are level with my headlights...

Reno now have the touch up paint, picked mine up last night.

K&N do not have a replacement filter available till April. Being that the heat is so high under the lid, is it better to wait for the K&N or go for the induction Kit? What sort of gains (BHP) can I expect form each of them ? Also, I want a replacement perfomance Stainless Steel zorst (cat...

Just had a TT Coupe. Came away from the lights right behind him from a standstill. Struggled for grip as cornering in 1st, straightened out, changed to 2nd pulled out to the right hand lane just as pedal hit the floor. Fighting the wheel to keep it straight, green light in 2nd and a his...

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...

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...

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 ?

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...
