both sides of the steering wheel grip falling apart(very common apparently)but i can say my 53 plate 172 cup with 72k has been fine You almost took the words right out of my mouth ;)

Totally agree, stick with what you've got until you're ripe for a change to something different.

Perhaps it's because most of the people on Cliosport who are old enough or can afford one... already have one? Very limited market IMO. If I was selling I'd advertise mine everywhere but on here.

That's one seriously quick Cup ;)

Agree...225's don't pull away at all. Mr Townsend in his V6 with 255bhp...now he pulls away, not by much though, and he certainly doesn't eat me for breakfast. To put things into perspective...

Great pics, shame there's no tripod action going on. Looks even better from behind when chasing him :) Are you coming down for Brands next Tuesday Northy?

2-3 bhp maybe. No real change to consumption. You generally have to swap it back to the normal cat come MOT time.

Like this... Good choice I say ;)

My K-tec Stealth's been ace since it was fitted properly by Rentech Mike. That was 6 months, 15k miles ago, not a hint of a problem since.

Not a lot of difference to be honest. You'd get a slightly sharper steering response from 16"s due to the lower profile sidewall, but you'd be hard pushed to feel that on the road. You'd probably also get a slightly poorer ride. I'd stick with the 15"s - cheaper rubber too.

Wet manhole cover? I learnt to avoid those when I was a biker, and they're just as lethal in my Cup.

The Richardson looks all cuddly now, how nice. Looks good as always Chris.

Original calipers Chris? Mine went at about 55k - the bushes that they're mounted on can wear so the whole caliper moves a little when you really call on them. £75 exchange from Yozza/Fred IIRC.

Close, could go either way I'd say. Definitely not "eat you for breakfast though". Let him think that then have a go for a laugh.

WD40 works well on sticker adhesive residue Maz, not sure what it's like on Renault paint though.

Thanks Ben, I got them for pennies so destroying them in a day or two's not a problem. Better get some ordered than.

Well I'm fine with my grubby but immaculately maintained Cup then...'cause I'm never selling it :)

Bump - anyone...? BenR?

How did I miss that one? Thanks Roy, I haven't laughed so hard for a long time.

I'm very disappointed in you ;)

I've just been out on a set of Dunlop D01J's that haven't seen tarmac for at least 8-9 months. I was running pressures too high (30 psi), they're only 195's (normally I run 205 track tyres), and I obviously couldn't get any serious heat into them on public roads...but I was surprised at how...

The thing is, it's a car, not some sentimental unreplaceable diamond ring handed down by your Granny. Cars are consumables, not investments. They depreciate regardless of what you do to them, and being anally retentive over tar spots, or brake dust is sad IMO too.

He's got the right idea though, only one bucket seat in the front. Everyone else can just hold the f*** on!

They look stunning in that colour, never seen one of them on the road before - they all seem to be silver or black that I see.

£4,500 cost to change sounds like a good deal to me Dan, and saves all the f****** about with random tyre kickers & test pilots. Get down there with a bundle of notes and snap it up!

Worst = 18" rims 1st Best = Decat 2nd Best = discs/pads/fluid/lines

North Bersted A259, 1100 today - looked like it might have been mrs bognor driving though?

Nice post Roy...that's QED for me.

I agree with you Brand86 - mine gets a car wash once a month if it's lucky. There are far better things to do with my time.

You are obsessed LOL - do you trawl google images looking for sexy welds to tease one out to?
