Got them on mine too & they do almost stop all the knocks on hard acceleration- got to line up the top mount properly an all for full effect. Worth £50 tho

I managed to get front & rear grooved discs for my 172 Cup on EBay for £100 + post. Stuck them on with a set of Tarox Corsa pads (£100) - need heated up before serious use but 100% better brakes since bedded them in. Lots of dust so far though but they handle serious use, enough to make the...

Manse Vehicle Services in Cairneyhill- 20mins from Stirling just before Dunfermline. I paid £350 for replaceable Cat section + Full Custom 2.5" stainless with one off twin tail- 3.5" together with twin grooved rings round. Good quality of work & very, very loud. Pops, bangs the lot. Not for MWay...

Buy Ring Sportzblues H7 fitment. £30 & same colour as HID but brighter. You'll get flashed but at least you can see where you're going!! Now make them in H1 for the main beams too.

I've a custom made stainless system where the downpipe is modded & attatched to straight through + one box & twin 3.5"s at the rear. It retains both sensors & has a replaceable section for the cat to slot back in. Sounds fckin immense & good gains- that plus custom intake & mesh filter got me...

Good shout mate!! thats my good friend & fellow Cup, Bob G. He's usually on here.

I run Millers Comp 10W 60 in my Cup- uses less & better on the fuel, all be it very slightly. I think Reno recc. 10 weight oil (ELF), and my motor was using a bit when running it on 5W or 0W.

Lads- fancy a meet in Jan circa new year? My in laws are in Braintree & I need shown some good roads round the area to match the top-notch twisties we have up in Scotland. I'll be down in the Cup 30/12 for a few days if any of you are up for it?

Timing belt from Renault will cost you £500 approx to get done- thats is your bothered about a Renault stamp for it. Get it cheaper elsewhere, and wont need it till 72K I think.

CUP everytime- imagine breaking one of those sachs shox the day after yer warranty expires. That and the weight saving. Stick decent shox/springs/c'overs if you feel the need. Its the rawest one out the lot. I laugh in the face of ABS.

14000 out of my Eagle F1s & I have to say perfect tyre for Scotland, bearing in mind the amount of rain! Not to shabby in the dry too, no noise issues, and I reckon on another 2-3000 out of them yet before I feel guilty about the wear indicators & get another set. For a cheap but good tyre...

What were you doin in Edinburgh sir? Other side of the country for you isnt it!!

Getting harder to spot as they are all well run in, and as they were faster than 172/182s from new anyway.....chortle chortle. CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP CUP

1st time noticed it- not sure if youre on here or not.

Ally I use 97RON from Sainsburys in Stirling & its no noticeable diff to Optimax apart from being 4p a litre cheaper. Lets keep badgering Tescos to hit us with the 99 we deserve!! Here, try that Millers CVL suff- whole bottle + 15ltrs of 97RON, then ull notice a dif- its only one Ive tried that...
