By the looks of those power and weight figures I think youre right. Hard to believe a little thing like that weighs 950kg! There was an article in CCC recently about tuning the Spider - interesting stuff.

Heres a pic of a filter on top of the breather - right at the top of the photo. Just a couple of pipes. http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/benr/viper3.jpghttp://www.cliosport.net/gallery/benr/viper3.jpg

I remember seeing the early pics of the new Megane - I think that might have been one of them.

The warranty on the Cup is no different to that on any other Renault car. Racing isnt covered - we know that - it says so in the warranty book. But Renault know that we do track days - they even organised one for us in June of this year! Im just wondering where theyd draw the line if they were...

Not really thinking about the engine - I agree with you about the revs. But what about brakes, suspension, structural components etc. How often to you brake really hard from 120mph to 40 in a normal day - happens once or twice a minute on a trackday. Puts a lot of forces though the car.

The Saxo guys are good at this stuff - I think HardcoreSax has one? Saw it at York Dragway - very effective and a nice tidy install. Very difficult in a 172 though owing to lack of room in the engine bay.

Good question Steve: Heres the scenario. You save up loads and buy a Cup / 172 / V6. Youve saved up enough for loads of trackdays too, so you do one a week, maybe 2 a week in the summer. The cars gonna get an incredible amount of wear and tear. Will Renault still honour your warranty? Its...

Id recommend going if youre local to the circuit - the Easytrack folks (staff and customers) are a very friendly bunch.

They were pretty strict at Donington Park too. I had my cam clamped to the headrest support with a camera clamp - the marshalls seemed to think that this was ok. Anyone seen with a hand-held camera on the course would get black-flagged apparently. You can get one of these clamps from Jessops for...

Actually W A Lewis Telford / Shrewsbury, but wouldnt fit in the title box.. OK Ive bought a few cars from these guys and Ive always found them to be helpful, but they really surpassed themselves this morning. I had to take the car in for a sh*tguard to be replaced - it had come adrift...

I was in W A Lewis Renault at Shrewsbury this morning - they have a 172 Cup in the showroom - no front splitter....

Couldnt you get a 1.8 8v lump and throw that in? Not as expensive or complex as a valver engine and would still give you a good power increase and a basis for further mods... Just a thought.

Asked at my local dealer this morning - they cant get Cup parts at the moment. Cup owners - go carefully!!

Sounds like we need a wind-tunnel!

haha! Too busy ripping my own apart at the moment - The sh*tguards on the drivers side front decided to make a bid for freedom on the M54 last night and needless to say theyve made a pretty good job of destroying themselves :confused:. The cunning plan around the re-map is an attempt to...

Looking forward to it - I also have a plan to test precisely which of these mods is making the most difference :D
