My New CUPPPP



  H&R + Pole Position'd Cup
Picked up my new car last week and I love it. It's completely standard, but with climate control (a fake cup i know). My first french experience and it didnt start too well with the climate control breaking on the drive home. Turned out the resistor had gone, which cost £70+VAT!

It drives nicely, it's comfortable enough and looks the sex. Having driven a little 1.2 corsa for 3 years, its a nice step-up performance wise too. Gobbles petrol in comparison though.

The one thing I'm still not completely used to is the clutch. Is it normal for the clutch in clio's to be sort of jerky? It gets stuck just before the biting point and then jumps past it. Also doesnt really like the cold it seems, nor does it like going slow :) Brakes don't seem to be working as well as they did when I got it either (unless its just me getting used to them). Any ideas?

I've been meaning to get some pics up but was going to wait until I could get some decent ones. However, the weather has been shocking so you'll have to make do with these.

In terms of mod's, I'll be keeping it fairly standard. I've had the wheels refurbished and bought an expensive cup badge from the stealer. Now I'm after some sportlines, new seats, ITG panel filter and a new exhaust system. Then eventually, performance mods when I can afford.

Think this is the same with all RS clios mate as mine does the same. Nearly had mine 2 months and still gettin used to the clutch. It hates traffic!!! LOL. And ur right, they really dont like the cold either. Keep the revs low until its warmed up, doesn't take that long.

O and it looks HOT!!! Altho it could possibly do with slammin!!!

Ah well, at least it's not buggered.

Cheers. Not slamming, but looking at compromising with some sportlines.

Yeh thats wot i meant mate, Don't wanna be chavvy now do we ;)

How much did the refurb cost ya?
 
  RS RIP
You've got a garage there full of beauty and sexy blinkers

:lolup:

loose as much weight (get rid of climate :eek: ) on your blue bullet there and voila there's your Cup

and yes ; slamming would be recommended as then it will look so very good, even better then now . Stick some H&R under there and you'll have yourself a go-kart for grownups
 
  RS RIP
Is that a mini left next to yours in the fourth piccie ? Nice reflection in the side where it looks like Cooper wheels (old make) ?

Good spot. Yes its an old mini cooper. Needs jump starting everytime you want to drive it lol
i probably misread a bit above, was this a non cup (because of aircon) ?
It's a cup! There were a hundred or so with climate control as an option made at end of production
 
  Car SOLD :-(

Cheers chaps.

Definately need a cup splitter but the fact that they're so ridiculously priced is making it hard for me to part with the cash.

I'm from cramlington. Been up your way today actually on a little drive. Some nice roads, just a shame about the shat weather.
