Also, am I right to be using 5w 40 performance oil ? I wasnt sure what to buy, its to top up the existing oil as it had came up with "NO OIL" warning light on my dash along with the SERV light.

Dont make the mistake I made today with my clio cup, and attempt to extend the nosle of a bottle of oil whilst resting it on your engine bay area. I pulled up the spout and it broke and came off but caused the bottle to jerk up spilling new oil all over the left area of the engine. It went all...

will these problems its notifying me of be covered under the warranty im guessing ?

thanks for the sarcasm, it made my day.

Ive got a clio cup, and noticed yesterday the SERV light on my dash illuminated whilst I was driving and stays on. Ive done 5350 miles in the car, is it telling me im due a service with renault ? or is it something else. The manual only says I should visit a renault dealer in the near future if...

not as bad as the experience I had with my old R5 turbo, I had just rebuilt the engine and put a new clutch in it, and it needed 2 jobs done to finish it off with parts id ordered through them so I decided to just let them fit the parts and be done with it as Id spent 4 days in my garage. One...

kazaas always the same, you download a file called "clio cup beating mclaren F1.mpg" and it turns out to be a guy shafting a horse or something.

anyone know where i can find any vids online (mpeg/avi) etc of 172s on the track, or V6s ... or 1/4 miles etc ... anything will do. cheers.

does this mean ive been ragging it too much ? :)

ive done about 1600 miles in my cup (6 weeks old), and ive noticed when i get home and park on the drive, i can hear some strange noises coming from the exhaust, best i can describe it is sorta creaking/ticking noise, is this normal ?

yes where the video ?

holy sh*t - those are great prices ... i got my cup 3 weeks ago and it cost me £11999 - UK car 03 plate, first owner, with 3yrs warranty and 3yrs AA cover. Also got the diamond brite pack put in with the deal ... having read this thread I feel ive missed out on a better deal !

have a read of this - its got step by step photos - quite amazing !! forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=848531&page=1

what kind of mods do you have ?

to put it into perspective, I raced a TVR coming from a roundabout onto a dual carridgeway in my renault 5 turbo running 22psi (in car boost) approx 180bhp, and the TVR even from the word go just totally left me for dead, its the fastest car Ive EVER seen on the road, the back end was literally...

I wonder over the next few years what sort of performance mods will be available for the 172. If I could stick neck and neck with a 330 up to 120 with my bird in the car, then im sure that on my own with a few bhp more with some mods would see me safe. Im not modding it for the next 3 years...

p.s. before anyone says anything about me driving at 120 and being wreckless, I want to point out there was NO other cars on the road at all, just me and the BMW, and no I dont drive like a nob jockey most of the time, only when I know its safe.

we had an argument for the duration of the journy home where she said she never goes over 85 in her Ka .. I told her that my cup at 120 was probably safer than her Ka at 85.. blah blah blah ...... all the way home until I finally gave in and told her I was in the wrong .. ;)

my girlfriend drives a ford Ka - say no more. ;/

yeh I have no idea what model it was, at the point i backed off i was too busy trying to calm my girlfriend down, women just dont understand... I wish id looked over to see.

if your looking for performance and arnt too bothered about leather seats, air con etc, and want to save some money in the process get the cup, its still an amazing car - ive had mine a week now, owned a 5 turbo for 5 years which was quite modified, and I never thought id be able to buy a brand...

I hope it was a 330 and not a 328, id be dissapointed if it was a 328 :P ....... whatever it was it sat exactly parrallel to me upto 120 before I backed off coz of my girlfriend going crackers ! there wasnt an inch in it at all. I thought it was great, partly due to the fact he pulled into the...

hey all, right Ive had my cup a week now, done 500 miles in it so its probably just broken in. Anyway, came off a roundabout tonight onto a straight stretch of dual carridgeway about 3 miles long, not a car on the road except for a BMW which came tearing round the roundabout and sat on my...
