Okay thanks very much for the info! Nick

Ah bugger! Nah i would want it to be decatted only til MOT time tho, but i guess i could just get an exhaust place to weld the right sized flange to match the rest of the system. Nick

Lovely exhaust, pretty much what i want for my Cup... Will the cat fit onto the system for MOT time? If its a yes then this will be purchased in the new year:) Nick

Its in milford. Mate showed me the way, indeed it does just have a sandy car park at the end after you go a really bumpy hill! Nick

I dont have rear yellow badges, just the bullets are satin black with AA yellow lettering! Will have to have a little meet and get some pics! Just pm me whenever you want some pics done, pretty much free most of the time! Nick

Twas me!

Dont know, i got it from a dealers, whats his real name? Does he live in aldershot?

Is it possible? As the other day i'd see if my mint williams interior would fit in the cup because the seats are shite! only problem was that the mk2 subframes have to have all four bolts underneath the car and the mk1's half an half... Any help would be much appreciated.. Cheers Nick

Firstly Merry Christmas to All! So as you do on Christmas day i got really bored so i treated the cup to a little clean as it was hanging! Later on in the evening i got a call from a mate saying he had got some digital slr camera and wanted to have a play with it! Heres some of the decent...

Astra Vxr all the way! My mate has one with all the options on it and the remus exhaust, beautiful sound that makes. But the downside is that it aint a lot quicker than my Cup, until you hit motorway speeds. But still, its lovely and quiet, well built and and generally a better car! Plus the...

Sounds similar to the problem i had recently, brought a coil and that wasnt the problem. So i took the top of the inlet manifold off to find out that whoever had worked on the car before i got it, they'd got one of the ignition leads crushed in between the top of the engine and the inlet...

Manufacturers have slowly been getting so boring! There just using the same designs for multiple cars now, and imho make most new cars so boring because they all look similar! I mean just look at the new shape clio, corsa and fiesta, they all pretty much look the same!

Whats wrong with that?

In exactly the same boat too! Bought my Cup thinking it will be perfect as is, but then it never stays standard, evee if it just painting some things to make it look better! Every car ive had has been queeked/play about with, and i dont think ill change! Just think, you look at any old car and...

As above spotted a few times today by heatherwood hospital in Ascot, with Oz turbo's? (very nice wheels!) Also caught it towing a yellow Ibiza Cupra. I was the BT guy freezing his bo*%ocks off on the roundabout! Nick

You cant have a monaco blue williams 2 unless its been resprayed! Monaco blue was only on the williams 3 i believe! Wouldnt de-sticker it personally either! Would change the colour of the wheels, or even buy another set of williams wheels to do in another colour.

So its only going up to £260? Because i was looking on the dvla the other day about the new tax brackets for next year, and it seems my car still stays at £210? I drive a 52 plate Cup... Some others ive been talking to say its going to £400! It just seems like chinese whispers if you ask me!

That sound nuts!

Right i need you guys to clarify some things for me. I get a knocking noise when going round corners fast, and when it looses traction (like going over a bump) intermitently. Is this due to the engine mounts? I also get a rubbing noise when i accelerate hard in 1st and 2nd, im guessing this...

There isn't a lot of problems that i came across when my Maxim S was a 1.4, pretty bomb proof engine and gearbox. As said there might be problems with rust, the one i had only had 60k miles so the shell was mint, and i mean mint, with no surface rust anywhere on the car and no repairs done to...

Okay sorry about my english obviously not as perfect as you:rolleyes: Tbh im not going to bother putting silver visions on, id rather spend money else where other than removing the smallest bit of orange on the car. Ordered springs for it already, there in the post. And for the cup badge on...

So heres my reasonably new 172 Cup! Competely standard when i purchased it in July. Since then ive purchased some Ktr carbon fibre door pillars and some new badges from Renault to go over the top of the carbon. I also brought a 197 Cup badge for the back, a subtle touch which...

I started doing my side bullets yesterday, never painted anything in my life! Laquer went on alright, but had a little bit of problem with the satin black. But will be doing it slowly this week to make sure there perfect otherwise they wont look right. Satin Black bullet with yellow writing FTW...

Monaco Blue is the best colour!

Came out of the car park by the Odeon cinema around 10ish? Lovely colour! :) Nick

I also had one of these! But i turned mine into a hybrid! Lovely cars, got all the comforts of a 16v, but in a 1.4! There quite good in terms of rust on the ph3 too, if looked after them shells will last a long time. Quite nippy too in terms of the 1.4 class! Plus thats the best Renault Colour...

Me being very inpatient and not very careful, whats the bets way to remove them without snapping the clips? Cheers Nick

That does!

Yea getting a set of buckets will be on the list, but as for coilovers, ive owned a set before, a set of fully adjustable avos for my old mk1 hybrid. Didnt rate coilovers at all! I know that you need them setting up, but i personally thought that a decent set of shocks and springs would be just...
