    Is a Trophy worth the extra 2-3k over a 172 cup???

    I'm pretty sure the cup was built so renault could use it as a base for the group N rally cars (ie homologation) hence no ABS etc etc and the trophy was built because they had 550 RS shells left over and got a good deal from royal mail on paint ;)

    Service light

    the serv light has nothing to do with servicing the car, its related to an electronical fault, normally the wires under the passenger seat cause it

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    probably because you haven't thrashed it enough, its built to take it, the number of cars on here that get belted round track all the time and you're worrying about reving it to 6K??? Strap some bricks to your right foot!!

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    you bought a 172cup and you don't want to push it??? The limiter is there for a reason, to stop you doing any damage, so its perfectly safe for you to hit the limiter, these engines can do 8000rpm with a remap no bother go neck some whiskey, headbutt a wall and man the f**k up ;)

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    well you'd have to argue the case, and i'd doubt you'd get far, they'll just say it was fine when it left them and you'd struggle to prove it that's the problem with this trade, its too easy to rip people off/slip your way out of c**k ups etc etc, very annoying for the honest people in the...

    that's entirley up to them what they do, yes you can just change the belt on its own, but again, NFC would i do that either

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    what's not to say its been over tensioned already and worn to f**k? I've seen 500mile old belts that look like they've done 20K due to incorrect tensioning (so called "specialists" did those ;)) no one in their right mind would retension a belt, lesson 1 in mechanics school, NEVER do it...

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    well the place that did the work orignally should've known what they were doing in the first place, and the parts manufactures will kindly say get fucked if the belt has been tensioned/retensioned incorrectly and/or corrected by a secondary garage

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    ^for a non AC car yes but as i said if it were to envolve retensioning/adjusting an old belt = no warranty!
  25. F

    (1)st gear wot rpm...

    well its a tricky one to call as technically your warranty is with the people that did the previous work, so in other words in order for me to touch it and warrant my work i'd request a new cambelt kit, but if you didn't want that then no probelm, but if it were to fail 12months down the line it...
