good example of a wankel (animated) for complete engine noobs (like me) http://www.keveney.com/Wankel.html

The computer can never be completly accurate though can it ? it doesnt know how long your going to be stuck in traffic, or whether your gonna put your foot down. At best it is an educated guess.

3rd time its been posted mate.

we dont, check the indorsements on our licenses.

Its a great feeling getting a new car.

I think I will be speding most of winter trying to change my orange indicator bulbs to silver ones, obviously I better stock up on waterproof plasters first.

They only problem with the superchip is still that it wont take mods into account, its an "off the shelf" item. Plus the unichip is just a piggyback chip so you can easily put it back to standard if you so wished.

not for the 172s, as the ecu has to carry airbag programming for the extra airbags, climate control etc. If you want a better one than the r-sport ecu get a unichip, custom mapping which will take any mods into account.

Ahh welcome back rob.. lol

^^ what I thought, although I thought its legal to carry in the car (with nos sticker or warning sticker) but the illegal bit is actually using the nos in the engine.

so true, I just try and keep it between 70 and 90.. thats the best you can do, my mate didnt believe that I have virtually not touching the pedal when cruising at 70mph, till he had a shot ;)

Ye loony talk about off topic ;)

typical cup owners response. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/rolleyes.gif

have to agree with that statement for the majority.

hmm, all the same after the last one went up in smoke I would be cautious. ps. Did we ever find out why that other 172 went up ?

lol, ye kinda went off topic there (Ill be joining the elite guest club soon) £150-£200 I think would be resonable, maybe a bit more.

Things are a bit hectic in here just now but... Hello Welcome to (the slightly reformed and incomplete for the moment) Cliosport http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/poke.gif

£400 is a very good price for the 172 ones, I think renault charge over £1000 just for the 172 seat covers, maybe someone can post up a mk2 phase 1 set with the colour logo

here is a pic of my seats with the grey logo http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1069414432__1555-3.jpg

The mk1 172 has a colour 172 logo, the mk2 172 has a grey RenaultSport logo

Whats everyone moaning about, your getting a better car with the best from every model if you like Your getting the best bits from the 172 + the best bits from the Cup, and adding some more HP for the same price ? Seems like a great idea to me.

here is my cruise control system that i built from scratch. Was a bit scary at first but you get used to it, you can pretty much work out the controls for yourself. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1069328057__brick.jpg

damn I wish I still had that photo of me with the gps unit, speedo said 60mph, GPS said 60.4mph

Yes you can now get the full 3 year warrant by sending off your purchase invoice to renault. There isnt really any pitfalls, other than the imported 172 dont come with an alarm.

did no-one mention the demist button.. ? what a shame.

tw*t ?
