Bye Bye;)
Left work tonight andsome tw*t in a Primera pulled out on me as i was doing 50 in a 60 zone.

f**king Renault Dealer.
When i had my Cup i checked all the settings with a code reader not long after delivery.

Checked the ECU with the code reader again and the c**ts have turned the double richness option off...
Nearly finished stripping out the back of my car.

The Colour goes with the Cup Blue so well. Just need to get my harnesses now.
I will be replacing my seats soon (hopefully they should be here the end on next week) and have been looking into the problem of the pre-tensioner that when you disconnect the loom to the seats the SERV and AIRBAG lights come on.
All that is required to extinguish (spelling) the lights is a...
My Clio Cup has been recalled for some bigger seatbelt bolts according to my local dealer.
Has anybody else had theres recalled.
Got to go in next week.
I have had this a couple of times now.
When changing gear high up in the rev range sometimes it seams like the clutch is not releasing. When you let off the gas and put your foot on the clutch the car just slows down like you have let off the gas. You can get it out of gear but it goes with a...
I think they make the car look so much better even though they are the same wheel as before but bigger.

Has anybody put 17" wheels on there Clio Cup.
My local Alloy Wheel place has offered me a set of Flowformed Speedline Turini 7x17" alloys with Falken 205/4017 tyres for £700.00 which is F##king cheap but they are ET35. Team Dynamics say a 38mm offset for 7x17" on a 172 but my Cup has been lowered.

Went to my local Renault Dealer today to get some touch up paint as i have a stone chip on my door and they dont do one. Typical Renault.
They also have a crashed Cup in the bodyshop and the sales guy says the car maybe written off as Renault are not availlable to supply spares until end...

Has anybody lowered there Cup yet as i like the handling of the car but the front looks to high.
I know you can get springs for the 172 but the spring rates are different for the Cup.
Cheers:confused:
Thought i would give my car a good clean today and noticed that my front tyres looked a bit worn. My car now has 980 miles on the clock and there is 3mm of tread missing.
I have run the car in but 500 miles plus have been on the motorway.
Just wondered if any other Cup owners have noticed...
