Cup - drivers seat

[CuP1]

Not sure if its been raised before.

The springs in the drivers seat appear to be making nosies, it sounds like their rubbing against the foam. Im just average weight so wouldnt say the seat has been over used or anything like that.

Any suggestions for a quick fix or should I be paying the dealer a visit.

we normally partially strip the seat and apply grease to the seat frame.take it to your dealer they are a pain in the arse to do.

pm steve-hall and ask him about his seats, and then if you can afford it, rip the standard ones out, throw them away and get some nice Konigs like Steves.

Ill pop into the dealer and see what they suggest - I am tempted to change the seats. Its a pity renault didnt offer it as an option.

This happened to mine, it sounded like my favourite old armchair everytime I went over bumps / round corners!! Renault sorted it a good 10k ago and the problem hasnt come back.

Im looking in the back of the CLIO CUP 172 brochure and it mentions that they do race-ready packages that include full race seats. Does anyone know what make of seats these are and how much they cost, and whether they have a folding mechanism to allow people to get into the back.

Thanks folks!

They never existed.

Mike - I also did the same. My dealer said they arent retro fit, only factory option so I asked him squarely in the showroom if I had a brand new Cup can I have them fitted and was politely told no.

Seemed pointless putting it in the catalogue tbh.

yeah they never did do them or anything for that matter just get some nice light cobra seats

One problem is that your insurance company wouldnt like that, just like they go ape sh*t if you tell them about aftermarket pedals. However, guess you dont have to tell them!

Cup already has nice alloy pedals as standard... hehe

The 172s also get ally pedals, not just the Cup

I bet you could get a fair bit of money for the cup seats, squeeking or not

Why ??, no offense to cup owners but they are crap, if I had a Cup I would do what most of them do, chuck em and put some proper bucket seats in.
