That's pretty interesting. On my documents with Greenlight my Cup is down as being valued at £7k. Only took the policy out a few months ago but whether or not that's agreed i'm not sure. It's not a figure I plucked out of the sky though, that's what I feel it would cost me to get another in the...

I would but i've grown attached to my knob since I resprayed it and tarted it up with a new decal off of ebay

I might look at getting it removed then to be honest. I really don't have the money to start refurbishing gearboxes and given that it makes no real difference it's better to be safe than sorry.

I only have one fitted because I like the way it feels... lol. I really couldn't care less about shifting quick, that's why I have a turbo to compensate for my boring driving. So what I can take away from this thread is that despite me shifting slowly it's going to eventually ruin my poor...

Sold my first Cup back in early 2013. Huge regret. As soon as I was in the market for another car I got a Cup again. Never selling this one.

Mines not even running 100% at still returns 55mpg with mostly town driving. I did a month of mostly 50mph B roads and got 640 miles to a tank. Really economical cheap cars.

Cheers everyone, will carry out everything suggested and update thread on the outcome. Sadly @HMS Derv Destroyer the car has been driven overheated. Water pump was knackered when I bought it and oil cooler only just been replaced as that's what I thought could be the issue. It still...

Sorry if similar to other threads, but i've got a video to contribute to explain my problem. Car won't start for ages but once started it will normally fire back up again after the second attempt for the rest of the day. Do you reckon it needs new glow plugs? Should add that it may have...

Just standard Cup headlights mate. They're black insert. Got them off ebay new for about £50 so not genuine but still do the trick.

Very nice!

Part of the reason i've still got mine is that i've spent so much on it and have a lot invested in the car. If you don't have that commitment then go for something else that takes your fancy. That's what I'd do if i hadn't sunk £££ into mine.

If you've got any sort of attachment to the car then you'll end up regretting ever selling it. I still miss my first Cup and was an idiot for selling it 4 years ago. As for value it's hard to say as they vary so much depending on condition. I doubt the value of yours, mine or anyone else's will...

Your problems are almost identical to my DCI 80's. I've tried new thermostat, waterpump, oil cooler. My coolant turns a murky black colour and the header tank pressurises. It passed the sniff test too. The oil appears clear though despite the fact that oil or some other substance is getting into...

Looking good!

If you need someone to do the work for you then try Engine Dynamics, they've just announced 20% off on their low boost kits (230bhp) over the next few months and the total cost is around £2500 drive in drive out with a weeks turn around. I had my conversion done by them last December and it's...

Love playing COD4 again... I think my playing time online was around 28 days on the original. Used to be pretty good at it. I'm crap now.

Yes mate that's more than likely the dogbone mount. The 172 Cups do have them. I've got the purple powerflex one and it works a treat.

It already looks 1000 times better than it first did mate. Great work so far

I agree. I think mine was around £180 from my local Renault dealer. Probably paid way too much for it... which could be said for everything i've spent on the car tbh.

Really love the way your Cup sits mate

Cheers mate. Had no idea you were local either, i'm based in Tunbridge Wells. Don't see many sports around this way to be honest!

Cheers @imprezaworks. Was desperate to get back behind the wheel. Not driving it for a while has made me appreciate it a lot more.

Well that didn't last long... the Cup is now insured and back on the road. DCI is still the daily but at least I can drive the Cup whenever. It feels stupidly quick now after not driving it for over 3 months. Last service was only 3K ago but that included a track day so got it serviced today. So...

Didn't pay the earth for it tbh but regardless of price i'd never go back there again. Was a bodyshop local to me in Tunbridge Wells. They made a good job of my front bumper, everything else is crap. It's not got any worse for the time being but not sure what I can do to get it fixed? If anyone...

In the end I got this repaired and it came back. Took it back to the spray shop and they did it again and the bubbling still came back 😞 just going to leave it now.

I'm running Eibach Pros with brand new genuine Cup shocks. They felt a little too soft for my liking when going around Brands Hatch but are great on the road. Kind of on a budget at the moment so I think Cooksports will be the next thing I get for the car. Had them before and really loved the...

I feel the same.

Interested on the spec of your conversion mate - I need flames in my life!

Also had this problem. Some OEM Cup shocks from Renault parts direct did the trick. Did the fronts whilst I was at it too. Cost around £160 for the lot, can't remember exact amount.

Really liking what you've done with the car so far mate!. Shame about the bumper.
