RenaultSport cars with Cup options are now a fairly staple part of the Renault range...with the Cup bit almost being a brand in its own right. It might not be a serious lightweight, but I'd bet my left knacker that there'll be some form of Cup options available for the 197 in 12-18 months...

Wasn't there talk of the MeganeSport being upgraded to 250+ bhp? If so, that would leave space in the range and heirarchy for a nice Clio 220 or something...? Could that be why they all feel strangled and weak? Because they've been held back from producing the power output they're capable of?

Williams had all the 172/182/Trophy licked at a recent sprint day at the Haynes Motor Museum. What they lack in poke they make up in nimbleness.

There's a guide with pictures on cliotrophy.co.uk IIRC

Yeah but you're a bit wierd.

Meaning the Focus RS.

I've never run out of fuel on a track day, and I normally get home as well, but in 3 days at Goodwood over 3 weekends, the one weekend I ran Tesco 99, I ran out on track (stuttered and coasted) mid afternoon. Read 11.7 mpg compared with 14.2 and 16.8 (rain all that day). Without blowing my...

LOL To be expected.

Glad to have helped :)

That would explain a huge amount. When the front's on my Cup get below about 3mm, it really changes character, and darts about a bit. Bet you wish you'd fitted new boots for the test now eh? ;)

OK then, I'll try again...(apologies in advance for the condescending tone but this topic does get a little tedious, and hopefully, by explaing in simple terms, people will come to appreciate that there are genuine financial benefits...unless you live miles away from your local Optimax stockist...

Optimax gives me an extra 7 mpg over Tesco 99, and 3-5 mpg more over BP97 etc. I get through over a tank a week, say 70 in a year, each being about 9.5 gallons on average. So it costs a few pence more, but I get in excess of 3,000 miles a year extra out of it. Coupled with it's cleaning...

Lol Ask him what's his definition of "handling"...

So it's because the disks on modern cars don't float as a rule? Why don't more manufacturers fit floating disks then? Cost/complexity? Probably lack of demand?

Out of idle curiosity... I've had bikes over the years with drilled disks, and I know a lot of bikers also, and I've never heard of a drilled disk on a bike cracking. Yet everyone advises against drilled discs on cars as they crack. Is it because they're fully floating? Didn't BMW...

Someone just grass him up to the law? He deserves it...that's terrible.

Try one of these? CG-Lock I've had one for 3 months and they're fantastic at keeping you pinned in the seat.

Must try harder...ALL 4 wheels on the deck :nono:

It weighs the same as the Trophy too, should be quite a beast but for £22k they're having a laugh. The red mirrors - reminds me too much of an old white XR3i I used to see a lot, that had red mirrors, red wheelnuts, red wipers, red door handles, red bump-strips, red aerial...

Certainly looks it.

Try letting your car pull itself along in first or second gear, with no throttle, just tickover/idle. Then click the aircon on...it's like dragging the brakes. My old 306 would almost stop/stall when doing that before the ECU compensated for the extra load. Definitely takes the edge off.

Your black Ph-Q 15"s?

Looking nice Dan. Would look better with some bright orange Valver wheels...straight swap mate? ;)

Earplugs? ;)

The oil light comes on to indicate low oil pressure, not the level. The level's indicated every time you start up.

Imbecile

Us Cup owners without the luxury of aircon have known about this for ages ;) Can anyone say why, about 50% of the time, I only get 3 beeps when doing it? I always go back and do it again until I get the full 4 though...

...says the Striker owner... ;)

Yep, mine's been weeping for the last 20k miles. I just put up with it, rather than let the local Renault spanner monkeys climb all over it. Fingers crossed mate!

Is it a rivet? If so you'll have to drill it out.
