A27s where youll find me most mornings...but heading the other way...I live near Bognor and work over in Fareham near Portsmouth. 53 Cup with a Cliosport sticker in the back window :D

Im not too concerned by the oil loss...a litre in 4,500 miles, while the engine is bedding in is to be expected I think. The manual say that you should contact Renault if its consuming more than a litre every 625 miles...if it was doing that Id contact my bank manager first...itd cost a...

Three nights ago I had the EXACT same thing...I too thought WTF!!! It had always said "Oil OK" every time I started it then all of a sudden it had gone to 6 dashes and up came the SERV light. I re-read the manual and apparently, it shows "Oil OK" so long as you have enough oil in the engine to...

Whats up with 39 in the fronts? Close to 75% of my driving on the daily commute is at 80mph+, so Id class that as motorway driving. I was a bit hesitant to put them up so high, but Renault say its right so who am I to argue. Having got them set at those pressures, the car feels fine...

For motorway driving... 39 front 33 rear Mark

Cup v 172? I wouldnt say "faster" or "better", but "focussed" or "purposeful" spring to mind. *back on topic* Future classic? Well, Evo seem to think so but I have my doubts. Respected? Most definitely

Youre not the only one. Still, 1970 was a very good year :D

Ack! Dont forget the 182 is 69kgs heavier than the Cup...roughly equivalent to a 11 stone passenger...

From figures above... 182 = 167 bhp/ton Cup = 168 bhp/ton And we all know how important that crucial 1 bhp/ton is eh ;)

Good lad :cool:

Too early to say yet. I always check the actual figure (trip computers are s**t for accuracy) and prior to fitting it always got 31-34 mpg. Ill be filling up at the weekend so itll be interesting to see what I get (if its relevant, my normal driving is 50% motorways, 30% DCs + RAs, 20% urban).

Youre talking about the Grp N one, yeah? Mines been in for six days, and I was hanging on to really get a feel for what its done before putting my thoughts up, but you sound like you need a gentle nudge in the right direction ;). Knowing what the car drives like now compared to how it was...

Good point :oops:

R-Sport in Wimbledon do...thats where I got mine from.

I was under the impression that using fully synthetic so early in the engines life was counter productive i.e. its too slippery to allow adequate friction for all the engine components to mate to each other?

You know you want to...:devilish:

Nicotine intake done and one removed cover...was a tw*t to remove but got there in the end without marking or damaging anything...getting quite excited now! When are you getting yours Rich?

I feel a cigarette break coming on now then (and a cheeky probe with a screwdriver)!

If so...how long did it take? Did you have any problems? Ive printed off Frostys guide which seems straighforward enough, and Ive got all the required tools, but Ive only got 90mins between meetings this afternoon, and being late for the second meeting is not an option!

Normal driving for me sees the trip showing 35mpg or thereabouts (and its always optimistic by 2-3mpg). As an excercise in self restraint recently I brimmed the tank, and drove it like a granny (VERY slow acceleration, and reading the road to avoid using the brakes) to see what I could get out...

Scared the s*** out of me the first time it happened...never give it more than half throttle in 1st now. Count me in :)

Same on mine...every single morning...its like Im reversing up a kerb the resistance is so strong :@

Cup in the rain? Love it! I like a car that moves about a bit, so you get to feel whats going on, and in the rain it all happens at much slower, safer (?) speeds. Traction in 1st and 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) is utter crap though...:)

I bought an ITG panel filter (from Merlin Motorsport) along with a Group N ECU just after I took delivery of my Cup at the end of November. I havent fitted the ECU yet but (want to get it nicely loosened up first) but I was bored at work yesterday so went out and fitted the filter. Quality...

Exact same problem with me...but then I knew that before I bought it so Ive just learned to live with it. Never ached or anything...its just a pain in the a****! Glad to see theres no "special" treatment for V6 owners ;)

Is this a record...?
