Not now Dan, I'm happy just without the foglights being removed - and my brakes seem able to cope OK as is.

Not at all, I was jesting. Let us know how you get on with the dealer/refund.

Ooh, ideas... Thanks.

Looks good, better even with the wheels like that.

That's why I said 'a standard 172 Cup', not my 172 Cup ;) Interesting view/experience though...just goes totally against everything I've seen/heard/learnt/experienced over the years. When my 172 Cup was standard, I never had a V6 get away from me on a straight...and that's taking exit speed...

Google roll cage. Call you're local/nearest company and say you want a harness bar. Go along, they fit, you pay. I looked at this recently and came out anywhere from £50-£200 depending on professionalism/crookedness.

Ah yeah, my bad. Being Welsh explains a lot.

Ha ha ha...not lonely life...just trying out different filming/editing techniques. Glad you all like it! It looks stunning with the yellow wheels to complement it...even if I do say so myself. You can all abuse it/point and laugh at FCS anyway.

Eh? What am I missing? I thought we had 'helped'?

100,794 :)

That's a bold statement! Nice video :approve: Just think, if you heel and toed you'd be better balanced and might be able to keep up with me in a totally standard 172 Cup then :rasp: I'd suggest the reason you've never known one that could keep up is down to the driver? You're obviously...

Yep...you've been had by clueless idiots. The Cup does not have a compensator as the rear brake bias is set at a pre-determined very low level at the factory. Most fail the MOT as the rear brakes are 'not working'. Problem is they are working, just as Renault intended at a very low level (so...

I love sleepers. Does my Cup count as one with the DCi badges?

Much as I don't want to...I find that very nice.

It's only fair that I stand down from this and give everyone else a chance. No thanks needed, that's just the type of guy I am.

Hi and welcome. Great choice of car :approve: Not read if you've any plans to take it on track...if not, you should...they excel. PS: you can lose the power steering...I've just changed to a manual rack and wish I'd done it years ago!

2nd. Always.

That's very nice.

LOL, let me try... 1k = 1,000 10k = 10,000 90k = 90,000 90,000k = 90,000,000 Can you see it now?

It saves weight as I can rip out the headlining and sun-visors now and that's the only reason it's on there! So seeing as the wheels, and all my track outlines are yellow I thought f*** it, why not. It's growing on me the more I look at it.

Not normally...they come out on trackdays.

:D Too much then LOL

Nice one.

Too much, not enough, or just right? I think I like it... yeE_SMyY8c8

Quality video.

LOL - result if you get a free day :approve: Jon_r was used by some company a few years back in his silver Cup. Complained and stopped it being used again IIRC.

Seems like it's slightly 'stuck' sometimes, still disengages, but it's like it's blu-tac'd in gear if that makes any sense? Had a new clutch recently, and that took a while to bed in, but performs fine now. Gave it a thourough test at Bedford and all seemed fine. So is the sticky gear-lever...

Does stripped of the interior, decent brakes, sticky tyres, and running 178 bhp count as standard? Should I drag myself up there? Yoz...top man.

Re: Applying an exterior tw*t strip - any tips? Good to know Laura, thanks.

Re: Applying an exterior tw*t strip - any tips? Sorry? ;) Sunvisors and interior light...got to be at least 500g or so there.
