Had my cup Mot'd couple of days ago, unfortunately it failed, on a couple of things... One of them being a problem with the front brake hoses... I replaced the front discs and pads a few months ago and to my pleasant surprise my car already had Goodridge hoses fitted - all good :) So I...

First time this year I've had good enough weather to give the cup a proper going over. Had the wheels refurbed in white last month, couldnt decide whether to stay silver with them, or even go black, but really happy I chose white. Got some speedline decals from Ady on here and love the way...

Someone told me about this a few days ago so thought I'd have a drive down and have a look, what a morning it was! Great weather, hundreds of amazing cars and lots of people. Had a lovely sausage sandwich and took a lot of pics so thought I'd share them...

Finally got chance to give the cup a good clean today....before it bludy rained anyway. Fitted new discs and pads last weekend, brembo hc's and ferodo premier pads. Much improved braking now. Also was pleasantly surprised to find I had Goodridge braided hoses fitted, also greenstuff pads...

This morning just before dinnertime I think. Saw it through my office window on Hedon Road

Just got round to fitting my Sony CDX-GT929U head unit in my car, it has a rear usb connection to which I plug in a 16gb pen stick filled with mp3's & wma's. This worked perfectly last time I used it in my last car.... However, after copying across some new mp3 albums, it wont display them...

The girlfriend is getting me a new mobile for xmas.... I'm not a massive phone nerd, not hugely fussed about the latest tech, iphones blah blah blah..... But...I would like a touch screen phone, I want to stay on PAYG cos I dont spend much per month (maybe £10). I dont want to spend anymore...

As with most RS Clio's, my thumbgrips were starting to peel away. I read Kevin.s's project thread and saw he'd made some fibreglass replacements that looked really good. So he made me a set and after a lot of sanding, swearing and frustration (on my part, Kevin did a great job of making...

Got a set of sportlines off Ian on here (cheers dude) Had them fitted on thursday. Much better. Front end sits nicely - wheels fill the arches well. Rear doesnt seem much different but I suppose the cup is so light on the back. Has a much better stance now. Also, I think it soaks up bumps...

I'm going to be spraying some small bits for the interior of my 172 cup and I want to match them to the blue bits of the interior, ie the dash strips, clock surrounds and the bottom spoke of the steering wheel.... Has anyone managed to find a good paint match? Obviously I need a blue, I think...

Few shots taken over a couple of weeks, still getting used to the SLR. Few additions to the car in the next few weeks too, expect some more pics to come.. Hope you like them ..and my favourite :)

Going round the roundabout at the top of Willerby, outside the Ketch. I was in my cup :)

If its anyone on here I know you saw me lol. Nice clean looking cup. We followed each other for a while down the dual carriageway. Rarity to see two blue cups together, other than a meet of course ;)

Basically I have a Sony CDX-GT929U which I had in my previous car (Vectra GSi). I had a Connects2 adapter for that which enabled the steering wheel controls to work and the dash display to work in a fashion lol. Because the cd player is a reasonably recent model, Sony apparently didnt make make...

Well had the cup over 3 weeks now and I'm so happy with it. Sorted some of the things that really needed doing...like a good service, feels 100 times better now, 2 of the plugs were nackered and it really needed new oil. Had the gearbox linkage lubricated too as 1st and 2nd was very stiff...

Been on here for a month or so now, after looking for a nice 172/172 Cup. Loads of good info on here, good place to do some research. Anyway, picked up a 172 Cup yesterday........ I'm loving it. Its awesome to drive, handles, sounds, feels amazing. Had a 2000 Vectra GSi that was tastefully...

I've got my sights set on a 172 cup and have hopefully found one. Its a 52 plate, with 57k. Cambelt done 1k ago, full service history. Judging from the pictures and from speaking to the owner, the car is immaculate. Totally standard, 4 brand new tyres and a years MOT. If this is allowed (?)...

Hi all, new to this forum, looks like a very helpful place so thought I'd join up. I dont have a clio at the moment, infact I've got a V6 Vectra GSi, but I'm looking at getting something smaller and quicker. A clio is right up there on the list. The vectra being a big and heavy car (but it...
