Something isnt right, just cant put my finger on it

I sold my last car on Pistonheads, and only allowed enquires via email. I don't like to put my number in adverts as when sold you will always get people ringing asking if its still available - which i find annoying. I know you can use the feature whereas they list a phone number, which puts...

Ive fitted new dogbone mount and packed out my top engine mount with some rubber shims. The engine doesnt is solid, but makes the car vibrate on idle which is annoying

I got a new mount for £32 from Renault

Im from Somerset. Been over to Yeovil a few times in the last month to have work done on the Cup

Turn them inside out

Brand new battery sorted it? I am still on the original actually on a 52 plate.. Maybe why. Il have to get it checked. Thanks for the help :star:

My clock never loses time so the battery seems to be fine. Thought it might have been an issue with it not being a permanent live and the memory not working?

To save another thread, and seeing as this one has been answered... My mileage reset, that I push in when at the petrol station (goes to all 0's) is reset every time I start the car. So I have the 'miles travelled so far in current journey' read out exactly the same as what my trip computer...

Lowering my GTi-6 made the policy cheaper :) They wanted more for my Cup a year, but stayed with them as I changed over cars 9 months into the policy. If they dont beat other quotes I get in June, i'l go elsewhere. Simple.

Surely thats obvious? If you fit bigger brakes, you are showing you probably intend to brake later so you can go faster for longer. Same reason why roll cages are frowned upon. They could save you some serious injury, but having one classes you as the high risk type that thinks they need one...

any news?

Its your car. If you think it improves it, do it. If we all said it would look good if you had 'im gay' in masking tape on the back window, would you do it because some keyboards said so? :D

With the niggles you will have with a cup alone, you will be glad you havent gone for the normal 172 with more things to go wrong :clown:

May try packing it out to see if it makes any difference. Just wondered what a 'normal' gap looked like. Cheers

Has anyone got a pic of their top engine mount, on the left hand side looking at it? Mine has a fair gap between the rubber and the mount and wondered if it was normal, or had worn lots. 172 Cup if it helps

Standard rear lights look better IMO opinion, I think any lights that arent original on the rear makes people behind you think you could be a barry. Looking very clean otherwise! Whats it lowered on?

+1

Where have you bought coilovers from? I am after some for my 172 cup, but not sure what places to buy them from. A cheap place that sells many makes of coilovers would be ideal

Il keep an eye out for you then, as I travel between Taunton and Bridgwater for work

Going by the number plate im guessing its a 182 :cool: Spotted down Bath Road this afternoon at around 5pm

Spotted today outside your house I believe.

Used sainsburys super once and it made my engine light appear, so tesco for me now!

Any news?

I think I may pop it back to standard!

What suspension have you put on it?

Removed my standard air box from my 172 cup the other day, and replaced it with a viper filter coming from the standard elbow, with a cold air feed from the end of the viper, going past the battery down to the acoustic valve pipe opening. Since then the car sounds better, but doesn't seem to go...

Saw it from a distance so didnt get a reg. Today 8th March in centre of Kingston. Looked tidy :star:

I paid 330 to have supplied and fitted: cambelt and aux belt done, new oil, new plugs. Was an ex Renault mechanic that did it at a garage local to me. Renault would have wanted about 800 to do the same!!

I declared mine before I fitted it as Ive had a 172 Viper filter for years lying around. Think its lost me torque though so may lose the noise and take it off.
