What is it that actually causes this to happen? Only asking because my mates 106 Gti does it regular and he doesn't know why either. It generally does it when he changes gear at high rpm, it makes a loud bang with a lick of flame from his tail pipe usually followed by a bit of black smoke...

Tried wiggling the wires under the drivers/passengers seat? Mine occasionally does it but the SERV light comes on aswell as the airbag light. Messing with the wires under the seat knocks the lights off for me.

Never tried Avons but the conti sports I had on my previous Cup were great even when they were starting to get knackered they still gripped well.

Knowing KwikFit they'll probably poor oil in to your coolant system, I wouldn't trust them to put a tyre on for me to be honest.

Lol I had mine up for sale for a while but couldn't bring myself to sell it in the end, although it's a pain in the arse at times with various things breaking and going wrong. My view on Novas has dramatically changed just recently, I use to hate them with a passion but the more and more I see...

Yeah belts will need doing if they've not been done already. Fred on here is based in Brum, or you could make a trip over to Birchdown in North wales for the belts.

Keep the Cup, you know it makes sense ;)

Lol exactly the same logic as me then. I personally think that shade of blue is the best colour you can get in 1*2s.

The standard cloth seats are comfy and fairly supportive but yeah they do look very basic and ugly. I was thinking about replacing them with half leather seats but I've decided I'll replace them with bucket seats if I do. As for the brakes, if they fail to stop you, you've always got the...

Yeah! I was looking at the one's you had for sale incidently. Shame finances are a little tight.

PMSL! I really do hate the look of my seats :dapprove:

Sell your car and buy a Cup ;)

Chances are Dan will be correct on this but I'd still ring the place you bought it from on the off chance they'll rectify the problem with the damaged belt. If they won't I'd do as what as been previously said in this thread and take it to a specialist.

Some cracking scenery photos there and nice motors. The black V6 was that same V6 that was at a drifting day or something recently posted on here? Recognise the wheels. I was contemplating coming to this but I didn't fancy getting stranded over there in case my dodgy starter motor decided to...

Indeed. No way around it, I hate handing money over for a new tax disc.

Yeah they did it there and I was only there for about an hour and half or so while they fitted it.

I had a custom de-cat made up for mine, also have a k-tec system fitted but I decided to make the journey down to pro-speed. I think I paid £75 for it.

I'd imagine the Magnex system will be alot louder than k-tec's stealth system plus it has that awful tail pipe sticking from under the back bumper.

4750-5k for a 172 is pretty expensive to be honest. 6k would more than likely get you a tidy 182.

I've never had a problem having no ABS, it's pretty difficult to lock the wheels to be honest unless you stamp the brakes really. Each to their own really but aslong as you're not stupid or reckless it shouldn't really be an issue. Insuring a Cup can be a pain in the arse though due to alot of...

I would imagine so yeah, £3500 seems to be the going rate for a 172 Cup these days, the normal 172s go for a little less I think.

There's a guide on here just recently been posted up on how to do it but you need to be a full member to view it, might be worth paying the £10 subscription fee so you can see it?

Welcome to the joys of owning a Renault. lol.

Fair point :cool:

Wouldn't the splitter at the front be sufficient though? Yeah I thought it'd be the struts that'd be in the eyeline, it'd annoy the f**k out of me, although I'm not a racing driver :P lol

Well as Fredy said. The rest of the car looks "very" serious but I can't understand why that big spoiler is bolted to the front of the car lol. Also imagine trying to race (which the car is obviously for) with that thing in your eyeline constantly.

Lol just what you need in your windscreen view while you're driving. Is this serious? or is it just someone f**king about?

Must be the latest design in wiper blade/brade technology ;):rasp:

Yes but with the "Spoon" logo on them. A must have accessory and well worth the £82 price tag. Edit: Just noticed you said "brades" and that is says "brades" in the advert lol
