Hi all, Looking to get my 172 Cup serviced on payday as it has slightly past 82,000 miles (85,500ish:o). My car has a full Renault service with every single reciept from them services. I was just wondering, Renault have quoted my just short of £200 to have it done, but do you think that i can...

Heres mine! That was when I owned Mk1 16v engined 1.4 MaximS. All it had on it was a decat and magnex catback! And the only bit of interior i had in it was one 7kg bucket seat, everything else had been removed (cards, dash, seats, sound deadening etc etc)

Im sure getting a decat would help all of those a lot also, because going to be quite restrictive!

One in Horsham, with turinis on. And the other on the A281, waved but no wave back. Had cup pack wheels on it, dont know why everyone ive driven past seems to be miserable:rasp:

I sometimes get this noise, mines not as loud though. But a spoke to a Renaultsport mechanic and he said as above, the tensioner.

Driving on the opposite side to me through Guildford near ladymead retail park. Lexus lights though:rolleyes:

In my cup with the seats up, its much better noise wise, so with leather and alcantara seats which im guessing you have, should be much quieter.

You'll get used to it! Tis a lovely sounding exhaust though.

Ill have one if ones going;)

Completely the same as the normal 172 exhaust.

Cheers for the comments, yeah I will be purchasing some silvervisions soon with some smoked side repeaters. Thought I would try the splitter on seeing as it cost £21 new from Seat, better than £150ish for a standard Renault Cup splitter!

So i was bored yesterday, so gave my mate a call again with his Digital Slr and went to take some new pictures. Then went to london afterwards... These are just a pick of the crop, took at least 175 pictures yesterday over about 8 hours! Nick

Like the car, but the only thing i would have to do is put like 20mm spacers all round and coilovers to pull them wheels off! They look a bit pants atm with the wrong offset and arch gap.

I'd personally go for a 172, mainly because you can still find mint examples with all the toys you want, and making sure that you find one with the belts done recently so you dont have to worry about spending out more cash. Will probably save you a considerabe amount of cash that way instead of...

Re: Snowd in Contest!! Indeed i do! Probably easier to drive that than the clio atm! Weighs like 3 tonnes at least!

Re: Snowd in Contest!! Lol, thats what most people have said! I was driving it last night fine, and remember it is a Cup too!

Ill be definately coming to this! How do you get onto the stand? Or do you need to be 'in' with the admin?

Oh yea i dont disagree with you in that aspect, i was out with friends last night in the snow, and we saw a couple of bumps, they all laughed but for most of them, they have never driven in the snow so they'll probably be the next ones stuffing there cars. Then they wont be laughing.

I know it may seem funny but i try not to laugh at someones misfortune, because yeah he was driving like a loon but what if you get caught out and someone laughs at you. You wont be best pleased.

Re: Snowd in Contest!! Heres mine, knee deep in snow in snow places, really want to get for a drive but i feel its too deep where i live. What damage can it cause? Pretty bad huh?

Lovely looking Cup! Coilovers really do give it a good look! What have you had done to your cup to make 198bhp?

If you want the right looking stance that actually lowers your Cup go for the apex 40mm, bit harsh on the ride but tbh i run them with powerflex bushes and its not that bad. For decent handling springs im told that the eibach's are better, but dont really lower the car much or sort the stance of...

I think a paid just short of £90 including postage for front and rear omp strut braces. And tbh there all the same unless you want a carbon fibre/stainless steel one for looks.

Sounds good to me, im needing these too i think! Will probably get the uprated engine mounts and the kangoo dogbone mount!

Would of loved to of bought my cup in white with white wheels!

Well for me realistically... Engine- Matched Inlets Decat RSTuner Brakes- Brembo disks Braided brake lines Dot 5.1 oil Bodywork- Bodywork tidied up so mint. White badges and bullets White Oz F1's and standard Turinis. Then if i was minted! Full maxi rally kit with wide track to match...

They look like mitsubishi evo seats from one of there models...

Ive got the Yozzasport sport system on my cup, sounds good but is a bit droany on motorways. Cant wait to get a decat on it to see how that sounds.

Good deal indeed, only thing i think is it would be a bit sluggish mainly doing motorway miles and probably hasnt ever been driven hard. Plus it doesnt have any cup packs so a bit of a poverty spec.

As everyone else has said, lovely looking clio! And looks in pristine condition for the mileage!
