are janspeed the only company who offer a de cat for the cup? not interested in ktec sports cat as too pricey. who makes them and how much please. thanks.
this has to be my next mod. not cheap £675 i think, but -75mm at rear and -100mm at front!! my only concern is how harsh the ride is going to be. i dont want the other half constantly nagging about how hard the ride is;) anybody whos got them how firm are they compared to just uprated springs...
does anybody know how many cups were actually made and registered in the uk? thought when i bought it i was buying quite a rare car but reading posts on here there seems to be loads knocking about, especially in england. dont see that many up here in sunny scotland though, well not in edinburgh...
i have a itg panel filter and a magnex cat back system. im looking at getting a de cat (janspeed) and the hill power inlet manifold then having it set up on either the dastek or smt6 or whatever its called. what bhp figure will i be looking at with this lot fitted?
fitted my itg panel filter to the cup on saturday and took out the cold air feed from the airbox and now have it sitting about an inch from the airbox as advised by a couple of people on here. what a difference!! it now sounds really throaty at 3500rpm and upwards, really nice induction roar...
whats the story on modding the inlet manifold on a cup/172? im sure ive read on here its an area that can be improved on as standard is a bit sh*t. whats the benefit of this mod and is it the next step after the usual filter/exhaust/de cat and what sort of bhp are u looking at with all of the...
not talking about performance, just sound, k&n, green, k-techs, hill powers, piper x. want a nice roar from under the hood. used to have a k&n on my valver and it did sound really nice. didnt really notice anydrop in performance either.
saw this story on the whatcar website today at work, apparently these four or five dealerships in the midlands have got the last 40 pre reg cups with less than 100mls on the clocks going for £10999. bargain!! its in the website under the news
anyone on here got one? im thinking of getting one to add to my magnex cat back system to try and free up some horses. will it make much difference in power? i see k tec quote +6bhp for there sports cat so surely a de cat would give about the same and is a lot cheaper. im also going to get an...
so far ive had my cup lowered and have a cat back magnex and now want to spend some more cash but cant decide what next. should i get the janspeed de cat pipe and a replacement filter (thinking itg panel filter) or should i go for the hill power induction kit or itg maxogen and leave the cat on...
does this sort of thing only happen to me? i spent about 3 hours this morning cleaning my cup inside and out, i even got the autoglym polish out and polished it for the very first time since ive bought it, then polished the glass then decided to take a run to the renault dealer on the outskirts...
thinking of getting one of these for my cup. anybody got one? would like some opinions on power/noise difference from standard airbox and also how much are they with cliosport discount?
spotted an ad in the local autotrader for a dealer in fife who has rr etc and is a unichip stockist. anybody on here got one? cant these chips by programmed to run with other mods as and when they are added and im i right in saying it is a piggyback chip so the standard chip is left and this...
is this available yet for the cup/172? the last time i looked on their website it wasnt listed and yet i look in media/pics and gb leo has one fitted to his cup? whats the story cause i need one.
i want to replace the standard filter on my cup but cant decide what to go for. im really tempted by the hill power i/k which ive seen pics of on the web site and i really like the noise these open kits give and this seems to be the best bet for an open type filter as it has the heat sheild to...
went to an audio specialist today to enquire about a system for my cup, told him ive got a alpine amp and sub from my old car i want to use along with upgrading all speakers and new head unit. his advice was as follows, replace front components with alpines with seperate tweeters, disconnect the...
ive read a few reports on the new clio 182 and they say the difference from the 172 is manifold, modified cat, different injectors, modified crank? is this right and if so can you buy the parts and fit them to a cup/172?? how much and who supplies them? hill power?
has anybody had problems with the renault alarm fitted to the cup/172?? i think i just heard mine going off on its own and it def.did yesterday after i parked up and walked down the road it just starting going off?? anybody had similar problems?
I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE NEW CLIO 182 WHICH SAID RENAULT GOT THE EXTRA 10BHP FROM CHANGES TO THE CAT AND INLET MANIFOLD. CAN U BUY THE MODIFIED MANIFOLD ANYWHERE TO FIT THE CUP? WILL IT MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE?
Ive seen a nice pioneer head unit in halford on offer, was £300 now is £200, its 4x50w. was thinking of getting it, infinity components in doors and tweeters in dash, components in rear quarters and putting my alpine sub/amp in the boot that i had in my old motor. im on a bit of a budget but am...
ORDERED THE TWIN 3.5" SYSTEM FOR MY CUP YESTERDAY, CANT WAIT TO GET IT FITTED, SHOULD IMPROVE THE VISUAL IMPACT OF THE REAR OF THE CAR AND MAKE A NICE ROAR WHEN GIVING IT SOME WELLY, THE STANDARD SYSTEM IS UTTER SH#TE!! WILL GIVE U ALL MY VERDICT ONCE ITS ON, PROBABLY AFTER XMAS NOW UNLESS I...
just seen the new add with the new clio 182 on the box (channel 4) thiery henry driving a silver one going on about vvt etc. it is silver and looks like it has the lower cup suspension. looks quite nice.
should my cup have the badges on the door pillers that say cup?? got it new in june 03 but it never had any badges on it but i have seen other cups with them on.
still cant decide which exhaust to get for the cup. read a few things about the k techs on this site and saw the pictures of the guy who got the twin 3" system fitted to his cup just recently, looks quite nice but i fancy a single exit, possibly a jap style 3.5" slash. do they do different...
mate at works mate selling his 6month old 172 for a new golf r32, it has 17" rims and a piper viper kit with only a couple of thousand miles use. got the chance to buy it for £150 (will try for less!) should i go for it? are they any good? what sort of power hike? or should i just wait cos i...
is there a de cat available yet for the cup? not interested in ktechs racing cat, £200+ when a straight pipe would be better and a lot cheaper. any ideas of gains, (if any) also will it make the magnex cat back system a bit louder?
whats the best way to get better sounds from my cup stereo without changing the head unit. i was thinking good 6x9"s on rear shelf, disconnect poxy speakers in rear "they vibrate" and put good components in front footwells and leave tweeters in dash. ive got an alpine 2x90w amp in my garage and...
