I fitted the Green replacement filter on Saturday as K&N still do not do one for 2001 onwards 172 / Cup. Has made a difference:- 1) Pulling away feels a little more controlled. 2) Mid range feels like it has a little more torque 3) 5000Rpm + pulls a little better and has more of an angry...

Got a cat on my motorbike once under full acceleration. Damn thing nearly threw me off as the back wheel scwirmed all over the place and kicked again when it hit road !!!!

Dec 2002, 4500 miles, 37yrs £505 fully comp

The official line was that 2500 were being made for worldwide distribution and that 500 were destined for the uk.

Im supprised you didnt get a slap or 2

I had my oil changed at 3500miles. They over filled it !!!

Who knows what it is for ? Do you actually get full throttle without it clicking ? Is this why rolling roads give such varied Bhp readings? Who knows ? I dont .............. P.S. mine has a plastic disc on the floor, not a switch. The switch is actually part of the throttle assembly.

Im keeping quiet, done this one a few times before.............

Mine does it every time I change into 5th unless I hold the clutch down until the revs drop below 2500 then its alright. A little bit dodgy when you are going **mph (quite fast) as it means you are coasting. Reno cant find anything wrong, I even had them check the Gearbox oil level. Done it...

Put mine on the boot last week, looks great doesnt it ? I fitted mine centrally under the clio badge.

Well Im gald I bought a new point of debate to the forum today.

And there was me thinking it was a cheap thing or a weight thing.

I noticed last weekend, when washing the car it has plastic front wings. Is this just the Cup or 172s and other Clios as well ?

Had reno look at mine for the same thing. They had no idea, so I said could they take out the 2 Cups on the forecourt to see if they did it. They did, so they said it was a normal characteristic of the engine.

They do bite damn hard when you want them to. But I do know what you mean about corners. They reminded me how important it is to brake hard into the corner and lift off to the apex and plant the gas again on exit. Much more fun when you do it properly.

Oh yes, but only for the pleasure of opening such a large gap. He was but a spec in my rearview mirror. He definately went for it at the lights as the missus heard him and said dont let him get past us. What more encouragement did I need ?

Well said Matbrown

No probs pulling away from the start, the git gave up just as I reached for third. Sore looser I think !

0-62 in the Cup (6.5) is alledgedly 0.2 secs quicker, both have a 0-100 of 16.7. Im glad to see in reallity acup can hold a CTR as I have been a passenger in one and they do feel damn quick.

65 ish seem about right. Have you got tractor wheels on you cup ??? If the missus said that to me I would never let her drive it again !

Cheers for trying Bob RTE. Do you have a number for Jeremy Townsend please ? PS are you going to Snetterton on Easter Sunday

LOL - Deja vu, or what ?

Lumber adjustment ?..... I wish !

I had a stone in the front disc guard before. Made a bloody awful noise, got it out with a screwdriver.

are you changing geer on the gear change light, or before ? If your gearchage is bringing you in before 5000RPM you will get a delay before you get the full pull again.

Seriously though, it may be a wheel bearing that is up to the usual Reno standards.

lol !

I didnt need to worry about short skirts !! What I ment to say is it was "more fun in the wet" as you could play with the back end quite alot. It was always supprising at how quickly it came back under control as soon as you came off the gas, it snapped back in line very quickly and you could...
