Not a lot done on the cup this weekend. New project has arrived in the form of a 182ff which il be using daily. Not sure on the long term plans with the cup, all depends how the 182 pans out.
As I keep looking at the cup without the coilovers and just on lowering springs. The 2118’s don’t seem...
Spent the afternoon cleaning up the set of Turinis that came with the cup ready for being put up for sale as soon as they’re done. Brake dust that isn’t cleaned regularly is a nightmare!
Coilovers removed today and in their place the standard low mileage cup shocks and eibach sportline springs. Photo doesn’t do it any justice as the driveways all over the place....
@MrBlonde I haven’t any plans to. If they don’t continue in this project I’ve already got them lined up for the next one!
I’ve only driven once with them and I was really happy with them! Hug you well and feel comfy!
He’s not using the account any more so I’ve claimed it back now I’ve got another clio @JB21
They were 80 compound from the civic cup if I remember correctly.
Gutted you had to put it up for sale! Read through this a few times now!
In regards to the fuel tank, is there any way to keep the diesel tank by cleaning and venting? Or is it just easier to find a petrol one. Petrol kangoos are rare! @H2MRK
@Ben NBR Cup give us a shout if your interested in selling your current suspension setup in the near future to fund the ast dream! Car looks mega and I bet it performs well!
It’s been cherished on the whole! One of those cars that’s had a few different guises so modded stripped then modded again. I’ve got a few plans for it so we will see how it goes!
Must agree it’s a lot quieter both the sales section and the general forum. There’s still the regulars which is good.
All these lease deals on bmw’s And VW’s can’t have helped. Who wants to tinker with an old Renault when you can just have a comfy car to go quick in a straight line with and...

Turinis on new Ad08r’s

Fortunately /...
Picked the latest recruit up a few weeks ago.
First was a ph1 titanium silver 172 as my first “renaultsport”
Second was a 172 mondial cup which I loved but for some strange reason sold it. Regret.
Now this came up off a friend. Needs a little bit of work but nothing major. Looking forward...
Haha! I remember that! New 6-point harnesses since then too so hopefully none on that lol. yeah i'd hope to get much closer to 2mins now. Just messing trying to fit epas at the moment. Hopefully be back on track mid summer:)
I was down in the 2.04's in mine. That was with 197 cams, quaife diff, b14's and ns2r's.
Since then I've gone supercharged, AST's, roll centre hubs and slicks. not been back to oulton yet though!
I think they're the main rotrex suppliers but tbh i'm not sure if they do any sort of inspection/maintenance on them? i could be wrong though?
I seem to remember reading on their website a while ago that they didn't do any charger servicing
I emailed them a couple of months ago about mine...
I'm one of the rare ones with climate control too!
My claim to fame is the only supercharged iceberg cup i think too haha! Had to remove the a/c for the charger though
Cant go wrong with a set of standard brembo front high carbon discs and some PBS pads! A relatively cheap set up compared to what you could spend on braking, will make a hell of a difference too!
