Id say if the road was clear then it may favour the V6... but knowing full well how you can man-handle your Cup, it would take a very committed V6 driver to keep up with you on your local stomping ground. Different; drivers, traffic, roads, conditions - all make a difference... wouldnt have...

Thats exactly what I remember from my training too... the clutch is for pulling away and smoothing tranisition from gear to gear. The handbrake is for holding the car stationary.

Hope you get it sorted CupCake... by Feb at the latest cause thats when the next breakie run will be.

No more breakfast runs for you now CupCake.

...as I have too. Luxuries, at the end of the day, mean s*** when youre faced with a windy back road, the suns shining, youve got some heat in the tyres, and a huge grin on your face. Thats why Ive got a 172 Cup... it does exactly what it promises too :D

Mine gets driven as it was intended to be... EVERY SINGLE DAY. As above though... only when roads are clear, sight-lines are good, and only within the Cups (and my own) limits. Dont hit the limiter that often, but then I do have an extra 500 rpm to play with over standard Cups :D

The Daipac ones work very well :D

Could it have been a wet manhole cover that kicked your back wheels out...?

The unit itself... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101669017__100_2463.jpg The laser detector module... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101669021__100_2464.jpg The GPS aerial... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1101669024__100_2465.jpg The...

The aerial for the GPS is on the end of a 3 or 5 metre cable which is more than enough to get that comfortably to the back of the car where you can mount it either on the parcel shelf or on a by a side window. As far as the unit itself goes... it performs exactly like all the reviews said it...

Totally agree with you both ^^^^^^ Id would miss the rubber bits on the steering wheel though ;)

PM Has to get his best price...

Recently purchased an Origin B2 from Has 16v which arrived on Friday as promised. Was nicely packaged and sent Special Delivery insured for £500. 1st impressions with the kit were; nicely built and put together lots of useable features straightforward to install (with the cable...

I bought Elf oil over the counter in the parts department at the Renault dealer where I get mine serviced... From the parts department its less than £15 incl. VAT for 5 litres If the service guys supply it when they change the oil... its about £35 + VAT on the service invoice!!! Try the...

The A539s are pants in the wet, but in the dry, whilst not offering as much grip as the others, they are very progressive. For me thats a good sacrifice as... Id willingly sacrifice the dry grip - if youre looning about in the wet youre a bit of a prick. I prefer progressiveness over...

Hope you get it sorted Andy... gutted for you... Id be really pi**ed off if I was in your position...

So you finally went for a Cup eh? Good lad :devilish: Let me know when youre at Brands next... could do with another outing. Any thoughts on when youll go?

Ive had my Cup since 28 November 2003. Ive since covered almost 23,000 miles and problems to date have been; Squeaky ventilation fan (replaced) Creaking drivers seat (stripped and greased) Creaking OSF suspension (ATKIS modification) Failed engine mounts (replaced) All the above...

Ill 2nd, 3rd, and 4th that... absolutely terrible. Being smooth helps though... Ive found snatching the wheel round junctions gives instant understeer with only the slightest bit of damp, but be smoother with your inputs, and they do hang on quite well.

Never experienced this in my Cup either, but I have also had an R-Sport ECU from (almost) new.

I changed from a Mondeo 2.5 Zetec S to the Cup... would I go back? Never!!! The Mondeo was a great car, well put together, stacks of space, very tidy handling for a car that weighs 1,450 kgs. Downsides for me... No real "fun"... they have huge grip, thanks to the 225/40/18 tyres, but you...

I thought the reason behind the 182 Cup not being as focused/stripped/light as the 172 Cup was down to the fact that when they started offering Aircon on the original 172 Cup... almost all sales from then on were with aircon fitted... hence renault deduced that theres no real market again for a...

I got my Cup from them, placed the order July 03, car delivered 28 Nov 03. They werent to good on providing info on what was happening, but would respond to phone calls and e-mails well enough. You just have to accept that you need to chase on a regular basis. The plus point on my deal was...

Better gearshift is an absolute must. A reach adjustable steering wheel so I can get it 2 inches closer. No ABS or ESP would be a bonus :D

Enjoy...they just keep getting better and better...:D

LMFAO @ "hero" :confused: Go and have a lie down fella...

Leaning and body roll in a corner doesnt mean it has crap handling...its called feedback, engineered into its set-up, and means the limit is a plateau that you can play on rather than a knife adge thatll bite you before you know it.

LOL @ Jon... With ESP and ABS, 3 rear seat belts, adjustable head rests, itll never be a true Cup. ***runs away to hide***

Yeah but think how much extra it would weigh if they were laquered?

On my way in this morning... 19,997 19,998 19,999 20,000 (sniff) Its not a teenager anymore...should I start treating it with some respect?!
