Because its going to be a deal-breaker for the surfer guy who wants to buy it off me So there is a factory-fit Renault option that he can get fitted at his local Renault place after he gets the car? cheers A

Do Renault do one, etc? Can anyone help? Thanks Andy

same as me; bought in Bristol, WR53

mine is on the right?

I must make another point; i am proud of owning a RenaultSport because of the fact that Renault care about the marque and the people that own them; their trackdays (and i must book at least one soon) are cool; just for RS owners and they even bring their new models for you to drive - how cool is...

but that still doesn't mean they'd be impressed... Anyone who knows their hot hatches knows the 172/182.

which one are you? :D

Yes, it can. Buy a Mercedes. :D Loads of cars make noises like this; 172s and 182s are light cars for a reason; all that sound deadening that luxury cars have isn't there. They are rorty tappy little demons and we love 'em! Seriously, don't worry about it. Try listening to an air-cooled...

Guess who got the last set in the UK? ;) Big thanks to Fred @ Yozzasport :approve:

Thats what i am having fitted next week, so i am glad its a nice setup. I am at the 'ring in a few weeks so will report back!

lack of back pressure; an engine breathing more will always tend towards leanness - but do correct me if i am wrong Polarbert after you've picked yourself up off the floor, obviously ;) last time the backbox fell off a vehicle of mine (lovely works van it was) you could feel the lack of...

let me know when....my friend and I with matching 172 Cups with CC live in Brighton... we tend to go for hacks on wednesdays...

yes, it will be running weak. That is not good. Running rich is not dreadful but running weak leads to the engine running too hot and you may burn out valves or burn holes in the tops of pistons. Not recommended.

Hi Dan, 172 Cup is top fun; I love the twitchy back end and lack of ABS... Next week it gets Eibach Sportline springs and Tar-ox front discs and pads, then its off to the 'ring on the 24th..... :evil:

Nice guy, seemed very trustworthy when i met him. I bought my CC'd Cup from the dealer in Bristol (Hi superfastdan ;) ) a few months back and after my friend drove it he wanted one as well. We rang Steve on the off-chance as he was close to us (we are in Brighton) and he had an identical car...

Renault dealers pre-register cars to meet sales figures for a given period. Hence my Cup has two previous owners but the first was the dealer, so its only really had one. Wouldn't bother me in the slightest (and it didn't!). Andy

yup, after selling my last car this is what i did in the end. Tell them you are really interested but say your other phone is rining, then put the mobile phone on mute and just put it on the desk. You can even sound really interested and see how long you can keep them on the line for.

eh?

if that has 210bhp, as the name would suggest, its not a V6....

Handling and feel are two different things, and the germans are known for an uninvolving chassis; VAG especially.

cheers...i thought as much. A

are standard renaultsport jobs the ticket, or would i gain anything from others? advice welcome its not a daily driver and only gets warmed up then caned about; also i am off to the 'ring in it next month if the standard RS ones are fine then how do i go about ordering some from the...

until, in about six months, the exhaust turns to dust from the inside! sounds like you were lucky as well. It also sounds fun :D

Purchase price - clio 'fun factor' - clio performance and handling out of the box - clio works both ways.....

and so it bloody should be for what they cost. I can't believe no-one has pointed out the price difference yet.... ...which is straight away. Its not a turbo, we don't have to wait for it. I must say i find it comical on a site about performance cars, talking about the differences...

yes, the laugh quota on this thread has been high already but i think with pictures we could really push the boat out. :D

I learnt to drive before ABS and subsequently feel quite at home in a car without it. Without hopefully sounding all superior i feel a bit sorry for you guys that have come to rely on it because it has always been there and you don't know any better. It isn't on race cars for a reason. It's...

are't they 255bhp standard? £2000 for 15bhp :eek: ???

Hi guys, Got a 22,000 miler, excellent overall condition (garaged all its life) but, to me, the brakes feel a bit wooden. My friend who has an exactly-the-same-but-lower-miles 53 plate with 8000 on the clock says his have more feel. I have driven his car but wasn't concentrating on the brakes...

8mm allen bolt with 3/8 drive? I just saw one in Halfords (along with a 10mm) and wondered if it was one of them. Just bought a 3/8 drive torque wrench; you know what nM or foot pounds drain bolt should be done up to? Andy
