Well that's another point, they ain't been bled for ages. But on the other hand it's been fine over the Christmas period with temperatures as low as -8, and now it's started to warm up it's been playing up. Mystery. Seems ok now.

This morning the brakes have been fine. It's 5c outside so maybe it was to do with the cold weather. I'll keep an eye on em (or a foot).

My alarm has always been fine. Brakes have been fine all today, I've left the car for a couple of hours between short drives. It seems to do it only when it's been standing cold for a long period, i.e. over night or a long shift at work. Looking to sell the thing now I think, gonna go sniff...

Well I fitted Brembo HC discs with cheap Renault pads, not a great pad choice I know but I don't do track stuff. They've been fine until now and suddenly they've gone to s**t, maybe I do need some more pads. I'll check the wear on em tomorrow.

Over the past couple of days when I start my car in the morning to go to work or after work my brakes dont seem to work. After I pump them about ten times they seem to gradually feel better and then they feel normal. They come back pretty quickly, sometimes before I reach the end of our side...

Ok after 2 trips to Halfords (who don't know their arse from their elbow) and searching through here I still can't come to a conclusion on which Autoleads harness I need to use my steering wheel remote with my new Pioneer headunit. Mine's a 53 plate 172 Cup. :P Please advise. <3

I've found that with mine the speed adjuster only works on the first wiper setting (as it should), however when it's set on the first notch it seems to make it's own mind up when it wipes but on every other notch it seems to be controlled. So it looks like I'm having the same problems as you but...

Yea, thanks, I had a look at that. He doesn't say where he brings out the other end though. It seems like it's just a case of removing different parts until you get it where you want it. I think I'll be following Fubar's guide for the wiring, as it has pics.

Anybody know the easiest way of feeding a cable behind the centre console in a 172 Cup? I'm thinking of hard wiring a sat nav charger cable to the cigarette lighter and want the other end to come out on top of the dash (in the tray thing with the rubber mat (after I've drilled a hole for it))...

Thanks for the comments guys, I haven't got any spring compressors, which is why I'm asking the question.. I don't fancy buying some for this one occasion... tryna do it as cheaply as possible, i.e. no cost. :)

Hi guys, I am hoping to replace both front springs on my Cup without spring compressors, I beleive it's possible.. I also assume that this is also true when swapping for OE springs (like I am going to do) as well as lowering springs. Can someone explain to me why it's possible to get away with...

Is that a CTR ariel or a Mazda 3 MPS ariel?

Looks like I'm in the market for a pair of front springs for the Cup. I'll probably opt for OE parts. I don't really want to lower it and I ain't got coilover money. What can I expect to pay for a set of front springs from Renault? Anyone got any advice on where I should buy from if not...

I saw this parked in the priority spaces next to the main entrance earlier today. It had a 'Ring sticker on the tailgate and a RenaultSport sticker, apart from that it looked standard.

just the two? :)

I think the OE ones look better on these tbh. Girlfriend has got one.

There's some guides on here in the guide section, take a look at them.

I wouldn't swap the Clio for a Type-R and I certainly wouldn't spend that kind of money on doing up the Clio. Personally I could think of much better ways to spend £1500 because you won't see it again if you blow it on your car, it will still depreciate as quickly as if you hadn't spent the...

At today's prices the Autoglym stuff is probably cheaper!

lol, ain't heard that term in ages. You can take a bite out of my back any day, big boy. ;)

That car must turn some heads... for all the wrong reasons I'm afraid to say.

I don't think 2.5" would look any good mate, the MPS ariel is the perfect size in my opinion. You can go too small. See if you can find a 1cm ariel!

Why piss about with airmail when you can take a five minute drive to your local Mazda dealer and get one for roughly the same price. At least it's certain you will receive it! Jamesstone: That's a bit of a bummer to be honest. I knew the FF and the Cup had different baseplates but I didn't...

Well I didn't know that! :eek: Clean car by the way, although when I saw the thread I knew there had to be at least one exhaust pic in there. ;) Just couldn't resist eh? :rasp:

Ah cool, someone replied for once. ;) Cheers, mine's in need a wash desperately, plus you saw my bad side. haha. I didn't notice anything untoward about your exhaust mate. Looked spot on, love the Monacos.

Saw you bout an hour ago, followed you through half of the estate then went McDonald's for a McFlurry. :)

Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay** Who's 'Es'?

Paint them silver dude, any other colour is just wrong.

Needs lowering. ;)

Black looks pretty good actually. Not sure how it'd look with a red lip, hopefully we'll see...
