I have the dreaded midsection exhaust rattle, Renault wont touch it, and I am now thinking about a stainless system, especially the one from Ktec. I know this might be a stoopid question, but would the replacement cure the rattle? Thanks. Its a Cup, by the way.:)

I have a question I hope some of you chaps can answer. My CUP has done 22k now and still has no mods, due to financial restraints. Things are going well now though, and I usually start with exhaust( I have my eyes on the new hidden one from ktec ), an induction kit( not a Viper-too expensive )...

My Cup has started to develop a nasty squeaky noise when I turn the wheel left more than right whilst applying the power. No juddering. Steering and brake fluid OK. Cant see anything untoward. Any ideas? Cheers!

Driving about with the AP22 as a permanent fixture, I struggle to get below seven seconds to sixty or 18 seconds to a hundred now. Whats that bollox about? It runs on Optimax and Mobil One oil, and feels OK otherwise. Apart from the fact my Sparco knob came off a couple times today whilst...

To all of you who have modified your 172s, whether Cups or not, and primarily relating to power-enhancing modifications, eg chips, pipes, and intakes. a) What have you had done? b) Have you NOTICED any improvements, or indeed any decline in performance? AP22 before/after? c) Have you got...

For sale? If so, please pm me, Id like to buy it off you. Cheers!

Came across someone in a CTR who drove like a man possessed, which of course was appreciated! We had a good old stonk from roundabout to roundabout on dual carriageways around MK the other day, and there was absolutely nothing in it. If proper measuring gear had been applied to the cars, I would...

And it flew. All the gripes about torque steer and tramlining were gone in an instant, the car is simply awesome on track. It corners harder than my integra in the wet, and was quite simply, great. 13 grand extremely well spent.:D

When really going for it, my Cup has always developed a high-pitched ringing/whistling noise from about 6k to 8k. It goes like stink, and runs ok, but I wonder if anyone has an idea what this might be due to? I fail to localise the sound from inside, and havent managed to position myself outside...

Anyone know what oil is in the Cup/172 from factory? And what oil would be best to run it on? I have always been a bit partial to Mobil One, but just dont know. Advice appreciated! Cheers!

I am off to the track now that the Cup is warmed up, and I need some advice for a good pad upgrade. I used EBC Green pads on my Integra, which were a good compromise for road and track, although they dusted like a friggin coal mine. However, there was very little fade from them. Now, the ITR had...

The redline on my car is at 7200, and the rev limiter comes in at 6800rpm. Is it me or does this sound like French logic here? How am I supposed to drive that on a track day? Has anyone else had this problem, and do you have any suggestions for a "cure"? Grateful for any help.

On the empty backroads of Northamptonshire. And Cup glues itself to VXs slipstream, has to break now and then not to glue itself to VXs bumper... So far I am quite pleased with my little Cup!:) Had a quick blatt yesterday against a serious looking Nissan Sunny GT-R, lowered, huge exhaust...

I can now abuse it up and down the Northamptonshire roads! It is pretty hard core. Not that far off my "old" Integra. I have to get out there and figure out if the clutch is slipping, because it seems to rev high when changing gears at high rpm. Did I hear someone else say that a while back...

Does anyone know what this "break problem" they supposedly have fixed is all about? I went in to my dealer today to ask what the delivery delay is, and was told that there was some kind of problem with the braking system with the Cups, but that it has been sorted now. So the car is due around...
