In the last picture, is that manufacturer date? So a 2018 tyre?
I am surprised to see they are treadwear 200, I was under impression R1R's were a 140 treadwear, so maybe Toyo made an update, they are incredibly sticky and soft, but the sidewalls are very stiff which I find surprising as Toyo tend to be soft, but there again these are motorsport tyres with re-inforced sidewalls, car will look far better once these are on as they are a better fitment.
Great thread, nice to see the time and effort you've invested into this car is going to pay off. Love a clean Cup.
If you're looking for a local wheel refurbishment, I'd recommend Top Marques in Fenton, Stoke on Trent, did a great job on my Speedlines for the 197 Cup I previously owned. (Miss that car)

I'm running -1.5 front camber with camber bolts, which u need to adjust camber on these. Handles very nicely. This was the recommended setting for fast road by my local Renault specialist.
Eibach ones will do you right. Search that part no in ebay. They are around £20.Cheers, any chance of a web url for some camber bolts I can buy which are correct for the cup please?

I'd go for more like 2 degrees personally unless you're doing a lot of dual carriageway/motorway miles.
If you search here you will find a topic with tests on air filters. It may be close to best, if not the best, what you have mention there. Sport filter in stock case is perfect, just a little quite than other induction.Pure Motorsport lightweight stainless exhaust system arrived:

It is a modular system, this one is designed to fit 182 manifold, I also have a 182 manifold, this one has 200 cel performance catalyst and centre silencer with the standard stealth (downturned) back box, noise wise its probably marginally louder than stock system, of course been modular swapping in a de-cat pipe or even removing the centre silencer is easily accomplished should one ever wish for more noise.
As my car has a Klarious ECP cheap exhaust on it, I wanted to get a nice quality system on it and the PMS system really is indeed very nice, good welds and a lovely polished finish which will really finish off the underside.
Shall also remove the spring from the brake bias, that should hopefully stop the rears locking causing instability when braking hard from high speeds.
Next step is off to see Chris at EFI for a remap, question is should I pop an ITG or other performance panel filter in the stock air box or do they not make any additional power?
That exhaust looks fantastic. As for air filters it depends on if you like loud induction noise. I have the ktec induction kit on my cup and under heavy accelaration it sounds amazing, but it is loud. However it's pretty quiet on normal driving. Search it on YouTube . If you want to keep the standard air box then itg or pipercross panel would be what to go for, minimal increase if any but longevity and well, every little helps.Pure Motorsport lightweight stainless exhaust system arrived:

Hello mate nice project by the way?I just have a question to ask you,Where did you get the clear repeaters from.....link?.SJ.Hi there
So a quick job this morning, as it required no tools, well you need you driving licence or anything that is a similar size, credit card etc.
Popped out the old grotty amber side repeaters and fitted some white/clear ones, also fully cleaned them up before fitting:

It is one of those cheap (£10) and easy modifications to do which really freshens up an old car.![]()
