Really love the way your Cup sits mate

Cheers mate. Had no idea you were local either, i'm based in Tunbridge Wells. Don't see many sports around this way to be honest!

Cheers @imprezaworks. Was desperate to get back behind the wheel. Not driving it for a while has made me appreciate it a lot more.

Well that didn't last long... the Cup is now insured and back on the road. DCI is still the daily but at least I can drive the Cup whenever. It feels stupidly quick now after not driving it for over 3 months. Last service was only 3K ago but that included a track day so got it serviced today. So...

Didn't pay the earth for it tbh but regardless of price i'd never go back there again. Was a bodyshop local to me in Tunbridge Wells. They made a good job of my front bumper, everything else is crap. It's not got any worse for the time being but not sure what I can do to get it fixed? If anyone...

In the end I got this repaired and it came back. Took it back to the spray shop and they did it again and the bubbling still came back 😞 just going to leave it now.

I'm running Eibach Pros with brand new genuine Cup shocks. They felt a little too soft for my liking when going around Brands Hatch but are great on the road. Kind of on a budget at the moment so I think Cooksports will be the next thing I get for the car. Had them before and really loved the...

I feel the same.

Interested on the spec of your conversion mate - I need flames in my life!

Also had this problem. Some OEM Cup shocks from Renault parts direct did the trick. Did the fronts whilst I was at it too. Cost around £160 for the lot, can't remember exact amount.

Really liking what you've done with the car so far mate!. Shame about the bumper.

Cheers mate

Took these a while back and forgot to share them on here. Never attempted before but me and a mate tried doing some rolling shots one evening.

Doubt it mate. It's a proper shed and the paint is terrible. Was tempted to sport rep it but not worth it at the moment. Going to drive it until it breaks.

You can peddle well that's for sure. It looks pretty forgiving too when you push a little too hard. Still miss mine really! Ticks every box for a fun daily car.

Been a month or so since I last updated on the car. With FCS and the weekender events out of the way the car has now been sorn at least until next year. A lot of people think i'm mad, asking "why!?" especially given the time of year and to be totally honest it's the running costs when I want to...

Sprayed with Halfords satin black paint a year ago. No chips yet 8,000 miles later. Car doesn't see much of the motorway though. I didn't prime the grill first, just cleaned it properly, painted and then applied lacquer. Really happy with the results. Also did the lower grill and fog surrounds...

Were you driving back through Tunbridge Wells yesterday evening (Wednesday) as I spotted a Cup which matches your description. Looked nice if it was. I was in my shed daily DCI.

Sound advice @bashracing :up:. I'll get it tested and if it is the headgasket i'll chuck that in.

Cheers @Scrooge i'll try and get one done on Monday.

Long story short, i've bought this Cat D 113k DCI 80 off of ebay (went to see it first) on the cheap to try and fix up. I was told it needs a new water pump as it eats coolant and sure enough during the 34 mile trip home it went from maximum to minimum on the expansion tank. My concern is that...

Cool car but the colour makes it look like a cream leather sofa with wheels.

What's the appeal of these exactly? not saying it isn't cool. Once did some work on a guys house fitting a compressor for his car ramp inside his garage. Amongst the Wraith, Slr Mclarren 722 and countless other nice cars he had one of these. He showed us around and was most excited about a...

Yours sold almost instantly though didn't it? because it was worth every penny and probably more IMO. Was a very nice car. There's a guy selling my old Cup atm on here, "J17 CUP" and he wants £2500 for it. I sold it two years ago for £2750 when it was mint. It looks pretty unloved now tbh. Don't...

Try finding a Cup that is low mileage, does have good service history, has original turinis and doesn't look rougher than a badgers arse. People's standard of 'mint' varies so much but for the most part even low mileage cars look terrible compared to the ones that have been shown some love...

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay at the end of the day. It's probably the second most desirable car of the MK2's after the Trophy IMO. OEM+ versions are hard to come by these days, but as @Cribert has said there's not a lot of difference between the one he sold at £2500 and the one...

Mine leaks like this and I can't be arse to seal it up or do anything about it. Is that bad? I just keep it topped up.... It's free rust prevention.

I run 10mm at the front to clear my brakes and use a stud conversion. Works well. As above the most important factor whether you run studs or longer wheel bolts is getting a good torque wrench and checking them regularly.

How on earth did the GSXR manage to do that!? sorry about the Cup mate. Hope you get it fixed asap!

Amazing car mate. Wish I had gotten some of the engine bay and inside.
