Morning all, popped up to Manchester yesterday to collect another new Cup from 172CupAdam. To say I was surprised when I turned up to see one of the best built/mint looking Cups I was over the moon, took it for a quick test drive and drove lovely. So proceeded whilst we were out to go to the petrol station to fill it up as I was definietly having it. Ha. Exchanged cash and I was on my 220 mile trip home. Here's a few snaps i've taken today, nothing great but i'll save the good pictures for the track photographers when it sees its first trackday.
Spec of the car -
Body & Chassis:-
Spax RSX coilovers with rear coilover units (used for one trackday and covered less than 1k miles)
Front Brembo HC disc and Carbon Lorraine rc5+ pads
Genuine Renault rear disc and pads
front wheel bearings replaced last year.
New front top mounts
Goodridge braided hoses
Speedline 2118 with Uniroyal Rainsport 2 (no more than a 1000 miles on them)
Fog lights cut out for bigger brake ducts
A few dents on the roof and bonnet and general marks
Engine & transmission:-
Jms V6 Airbox
Magnicore blue ht leads
Yanoo stiff shift kit
Carbon canister and acoustic valve removed
Oreca group n exhaust
BTB 182 cat mod (MOT approved)
Uprated dog bone mount
Interior:-
6 point "Safety devices" roll cage fitted by TM Sports with plates welded to body. MSA regulated.
Fully stripped out interior floors painted Mondial blue all visible cables been wrapped and clipped out neatly
Cobra Imola bucket seats
Cobra extra low subframes.
TRS 4 point harnesses
Sabelt Renault Sport steering wheel
Plans -
Sell Cobra Imolas
Sell boss kit
Sell JMS airbox
Sell Spax coilovers
Sell TRS 4 point harnesses
Fit Sabelt 'Taurus' Clio Cup Racer Wraparound Seat
Fit Sparco ‘Circuit’ Wraparound Seat
Fit OMP 6 point harness (red)
Fit OMP 4 point harness (red)
Fit Odyssey PC680 lightweight dry cell battery with cut off switch on passenger side floor
Fit Vibra-technic solid engine mounts
Fit ITG air filter with 45 degree bend.
Fit Eibach 25mm front spacers
Fit 15mm hub spacers with camber shims
(All these bits frome the old Cup)
Other plans i'd like to do.
FK Konigsports
AST topmounts
NorthloopCups rollcentre kit (when its ready)
Satchshift (when its ready)
Pretty much all suspension/geometry based modifications as modifying the engine for just trackdays is a waste of time in my opinion. Wanted GRP panels to make everything lightweight but again i'd rather spend the money on enjoying it, so unless I get lucky working away and making a few quid I wont be bothering. Always something I can look at in the long term.
This ones a keeper, promise!
