Our new cup

[not normal dan]

So we all know they idle a little lumpy but once warm it was a little more lumpy then usual. Now I know it had plugs and leads last year so my first point of call was to check the injectors

So out came the multimeter, number 3 was 8ohms so half what t should really be. Quick blast to euro and grabbed a new one for just over 30 quid.

So pulled the fuel rail guard off, unplugged the injectors and disconnected the fuel line

Offending injector

New injector on rail

Fired it all back together and normal service was resumed [emoji106]

So gave it a clean earlier today, I used to be quite into detailing but it's took a back seat since the Trackdays!

So here's a few pics

The obligatory snow foam pic

All done

Even gave the under bonnet a clean

Method of clean

Snowfoam
Citrus pre wash
2 bucket wash
Rinse
Iron X
Rinse and then towel dry
Poor boys super blackhole polish
Megs tyre gel
AG trim restorer
Megs clear view

Are you thinking about painting the fuel rail guard and inlet silver?

I think that would freshen the bay up a treat.

It's actually all been powder coated tbh mate so I was just going to leave it. I was going to give the rocker cover a dusting of silver but that's it

It looks better than first thought after seeing it again on the desktop.

I couldn't see it properly on my phone mate, yes it looks pretty good

Cheers mate, done 200 mile in it since Friday! The R26 is feeling left out that's for sure haha

Not today @theburns1 was an event today plus I haven't paid me subs yet as I was at work on the first members day.

Nice day for it though and some impressive Jedis there

 

[theburns1]

Cool, I need to get down there more often. Ste never tells me lol. Just see his Facebook on the evening full of decent cars lol. I'll give the DCI some serious mpg round it lol.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Looks a cracking buy, the plate must be worth a few hundred quid as well... nice find!:up:

When I signed up I got a book through the door with the dates, only ones a pay attention of is the members day but if I'm ever board I just go up there as there's always something going on.

Similar plays are up for 499 on DVLA but in reality private sale I don't think you'd get that. Cheers mate, there's a few little jobs to do but all in good time

 

[Mr Burns]

Okay so how about this for something really bizarre...?

This is a picture I took of Dan stood next to his 172 Cup... Nearly a year and half before he bought it!

 

[not normal dan]

Haha that was your Trackday, the Megane is even in the back ground in STOCK form lol

What's better then owning 1 Renault sport......

Pretty weird, especially as I got the reg plate in and everything... It was my birthday in the Ignis at Donington.

Come on the 26th of this Month mate. Got it booked for the day.

 

[Kosy]

Looks a cracker, well done

 

[coverman]

I recognize that number plate; have seen that Cup around, cant remember whether it was in Leeds or down in Nottinghamshire as I am often there on business

 

[theburns1]

Oh no, how come?

 

[dann2707]

Oh no, how come?

Dunno I was just joking and you buzzkilled it alright

 

[not normal dan]

So I'm toying with getting rid of the cup, it's been a good car but I'm feeling a 200 cup just fancy something a little more modern now I'm commuting a little bit more

Cup should sell easy mate

In fact looking through again, easy peasy easy

That easy

 

[Crybert]

Price?

 

[imprezaworks]

I would have won lots of dollars betting you would ask lol

s**t no I ment @yeecup

 

[not normal dan]

Not sure yet, half tempted to remove the plate to put that on a 200.

I've just got full service bits from Paul at Renault parts direct and history of belts and dephaser at diamond motors.

Very good history.

Little bit of play in gear selector bush but other then the odd stone chip it's clean car and drives nice

[Cookson]

Kind of price do you have in mind?

 

[not normal dan]

Tbh I'd like somewhere close to what I paid for it, if I take the plate off I'll take that into consideration a little

So had a chat with the missus, going to service the cup this weekend and give it a good clean and get some pictures up.

Looking around on the market and lower mileage ones seem few and far between.

Going to put the car up at 2200 Ono I think. I think that's reasonable giving the history. I'd like to keep the plate as I aim to buy a 200 cup

[imprezaworks]

That will sell easy p

 

[Crybert]

When were the belts done mate?

Such a shame I'm not in the market

 

[not normal dan]

It's been great to own tbh and been great on fuel.

Always in the market @imprezaworks lol

If I was after a cup, this would be mine now.

 

[182_steve]

That looks a cracking example, should sell easy for that money!

 

[Kosy]

Agree with all the above. £2200 is borderline underselling that. £2500 more like it in my opinion.
