On my Cup... Let me tell you something about Renault, theyre French, common, and well known for building some of the greatest hot-hatches that have graced our roads. Day after day we see them being driven by grannys, learners and mums going shopping. This however is all about to change...

Isnt it http://www.BenR-mods-clios.orgwww.BenR-mods-clios.org ?? LOL

Yeah i agree about the upgrades. Looked into them myself only for the dealer to tell me they werent available retro-fit. And... they werent available even with a new car... so the point of the is???

Does it do it all the time, or just at startup or when its been running ages etc?

On my cup, it works when I put the rear window de-mister on.

LOL. Its the sound of the exhaust, the roar of the induction and the enthusiasm that makes it quicker then. Hehe! Re: passenger, I hardly ever have passengers, so its kind of like, well not gonna need them then, strip it out, stuff in loft. :)

Ive taken the back seats out, completely, from my Cup and the difference does seem quite significant. Is it mind over matter, or does it seriously improve performance? I have found it feels noticably quicker without the rear seats/parcel shelf yet it cant be that much additional weight.

thats a great idea to tidy up a drab engine bay!

Iain, 2pm Saturday ok? Ill drop my Cup off, pick it up about 3pm that be alright??

Comes on at about 6,800 - 7,000 rpm on my Cup Im sure. Are you sure the 172 has the gearshift indicator, I thought it was only on the Cup?

If first Cup was July 2002, I have a pretty early one at September 2002. :)

Ok didnt know that about Hot water - <goes to shop and buys scraper> hehe!

Dont know if anyone else had this strange situation this morning... Used hot water to get rid of the ICE of the Cup this morning, -2 degrees outside. Got inside, started her up etc, put on some music, lights, heater etc. However... shoes became frozen to pedals! Were sticky for about 10 mins...

Get someone else to do it?

That engine sounds like a Tornado Jet or similar on take off.... droooooool!! But £3,000 to fit.... ouch!

I bent a "lower steering arm" on my Cup. Its hard to explain which bit it us, but it kind of goes from the bottom of the wheel hub to the subframe. It was damaged when I hit a low small post. But they can be bent by hitting a curb/mounting curbs etc. Simon

Ok got the quote back today... "To remove O/S/R quarter panel trims as required, repair, paint & polish quarter panel and re-assemble" - £112.00 "Paint & materials" - £87.68 "E.P.A" - £1.12 Total: £200.80 VAT: £35.14 GRAND TOTAL THEY ARE DREAMING OF £235.94 What a f**king joke!

22,500 miles in - fully worn in... you are in for a rela treat and thank you for the lovely positive review of the Cup.

How much is the magnex backbox? Love the sounds, thanks Lee. Bet it sounds mint on full throttle!

Whitehouse in Tonbridge quoted me just under £300.....

What shocks were they mate?

I had one of them. Right sod to get rid of. :D

Oooh thanks mate. Will do that tonight when I get home.

Looks like the bodykit by PSG Bodystyling

Any idea what kind of price were going to be looking at?

I see wht your saying, its distinctly trolly height, but been to no supermarkets. :( How far from dartford crossing is chelmsford?! I dont want to travel too far to be told its too expensive or they cant fit it for ages, yanno what I mean.

Anyone know any good shops for doing some minor paintwork. I had the rear 1/4 of the Cup keyed on saturday night, its deep enough to go down to the original metal. Well annoyed but not going to dwell on it. I need a bodyshop to sort me out, without ripping me off. The damage is like 3 inches...

Yeah Id agree up to and around £250 per month/£3,000 pa is what youd expect to pay. Been there, paid it for my Cup.
