The clio 172 cup has raw power especially after 5000 revs, you would get upto a ton very quickly, it would even get to 120 quite rapidly on a private strip of course.
But after that it would creep ever so slightly to 130+ etc.
The meg just keeps pulling as mentioned below it is quicker to...
The cup was introduced after the trophy in the Meg range.
I think that the trophy has full leathers suspension can be adjusted like the clio range cd changer etc.
But for some reason if you look at the stats the cup is lighter than the trophy according to Evo and has a better bhp/ton but...
Guys and Girls hope you all had a good weekend.
A few people on the forum wanted me to give some feedback in regards to swapping my clio cup to a Megane cup on saturday morning.
After driving the Meg all weekend this is my own personal opinion.
0-60 not much difference but meg feels...
Thanks Yoz / Meggerman
It does have the 18" alloys (grey) and the Brembos with the cup suspension.
When i went out on the test drive it was a firm ride, the steering feedback was great, and when putting your foot down it just flew, the power it had was impressive, it just wanted to tear...
Guys
I have just swapped my 172 cup for a Megane 225 with cup packs which i pick up on saturday
I had a test drive last saturday which lasted 45 mins, the sales rep let me rag the crap out of the car, guys in all honesty the megane felt faster in all areas e.g 0-60, even from 60-100...
Do you guys have the web link or website details for car specifications e.g
0-60 times 0-100 etc, i remember a month ago someone had a link to a website that has the stats for all cars and models.
cheers
A big thanks to all of you for the great feed back, its just what i needed.
i have been looking at the megane 225 recently aswell, i really would want the trophy version but i dont know how much there going for.
I don't have a problem with my cup, apart from the mounts issue, but just...
The price and finance is provided by a Honda Dealership in west london.
I have driven both type r's face lifted and old version both nice cars but think they are slightly expensive, still dont know what to do.
jez.
My engine mounts pop all the time when i accelerate gently then release of the accelerator you hear a banging noise from the front right side of the car.
The banging noise you get is when you accelerate to hard in 1st the front wheels try to grip and the tyres feel like they are...
guys thanks for all the great feedback.
That is the only thing stopping me, the price is £14k for a 54 plate, which sounds pretty good, the only problem is that the finance would be over 5 years at £300 a month, thats with no protection on the finance, i dont really fancy commiting myself for...
lee
Thanks for the advice.
i know what you mean the problem is that the engine mounts are the main problem, the car has only done 14,000miles what kind of problems will happen when i get to 30,000 miles.
Guys and Girls need your advice.
I currently own a cup which happens to be my second cup in 4 years.
I have owned it now for 2 years, had several problems with my engine mounts, its been in to the dealer 4 times still cant fix it.
For the past year i really have thought about buying the...

could i ring up the service manager and tell him job number 5520 or is that your reference number that renault gave you once you booked your car in.
please let me know.
cheers
Rallypug
sorry i have not got back to you with some feedback in regards to the engine mounts.
The service manager was very helpful as he came out with me for a test drive, and heard the noise for himself.
The rte engineer and a person from renault u.k had the car for 3 days, they done...

My cup is going in on monday to have the engine mounts replaced for the third time. The service manager is also getting involved along with some engineer from renault uk. I have to admit you lot have worried me about this modification process where they might mess it up. I know...
Guys just a quick question
How do you find the steering and response of your vehicles.
Since buying my 172cup from new it feels very twitchy and sensitive, it likes to pull alot especially on bumpy rough surfaces i have to hold on for dear life if the roads are terrible, its not so bad...
I know what you mean rob.
Just spoke to renault uk they have made a note of the problem, also mentioned that quite a few other members are having problems aswell. They said that if renault decide to charge me for the engine mounts, they have made a note that my dealer can't charge me which is...
Thanks for the feedback guys
One thing i forgot to mention this knocking noise happens without me thrashing the car, even if i pull away very smoothly at low revs and release the accelerator it still makes the knocking sound. Just spoke to renault london west, one of the rte guys will call me...
Hi all
Its the first time i have posted in a while, but log onto the site on a daily basis, best website ever.
I need your advice, my 172 cup is having the engine mounts replaced for the third time in 9 months, it makes a horrible knocking noise from the front drivers side, whenever i...
hi all
i need your help please.
my 172cup had the engine mount modification done around a month ago, the problem now is that when i pull off in 1st gear pretty hard without any wheel spin there is a horrible knocking noise from 4000rpm and above, it never use to this before it was modified...
Hi All
Just need to ask you a quick question.
Had my cup tracked recently, when they done it, the steering was hanging to the right, i told them i was not happy, so they done it again but this time the steering was hanging to the left. After a couple of trys they managed to get it as...
lol
My steering is dead centre it does not hang to the left or right, it also pulls to the left when breaking.
To be honest if i give it some i hardly ever get any torque steer, its pretty stable which is good, the only thing that bothers me is that the steering fells light at low speeds...
Hi All
i need to ask you a quick question, i really hope you can put my mind at rest.
Why does it feel like theres no centre point on a cups steering, eg when driving on standard roads at 30mph on a straight road, you can turn the steering wheel an inch either to the right or left, the car...
