Anyone know if there are still any new / pre - reg Cups at dealers, I know there were a few scattered about a while back. Cheers

Just read on another thread that the speedos on the 172 / Cup are prone to under-reading??? Is this correct, as I always thought it was approx 10% over-reading, say at a 110 im really doing 100. I always go through speed cameras just over the limit so if the above is true im about a nats...

If you are thinking of selling your Cup, have you considered handing it back to Renault and closing the finance?? If so what have they offered you?? Please give details of mileage / age of car / price offered Mine - 30k / Mar 03 reg / £8300 offered. About right??! Cheers.

Is this available yet??? The last time I asked - there wasnt one out!! Got a few small stone chips on the leading edge of the bonnet, so need to touch em up.

I took the cap off of the coolant reservoir to top it up as it had gone down close to minimum, and I noticed a brownish oily substance (not very thick) around the inside of the opening that the cap fits on to!!! And the coolant looks like its a bit darker. Now im no tech wizard but that...

Now its cold, and the car interior trim squeaks like Beckham, everyone should take their cars to the dealers and get all the enhanced rattles and squeaks done under warranty !!!!! Thatll get em. ........."Couldnt fault it sir"........My arse"!!!!!!!

Whats the warranty implications of going for a Group N spec clutch when I get through the existing Renault one. (Again)! Say for instance I have a gearbox problem, will they say they wont honour it due to a spurious clutch having being fitted. I am planning on buying one and getting it fitted...

I know this has been talked about numerous times....but I dont think ive ever heard an answer to the question Im going to ask: What is the exact temperature of the engine oil when the limiter decides it will stop ruining the fun and move up to its normal position at approx 7,250 RPM?? (why...

You know when you were little and had a BMX?....... You know the clothes peg and cut out bit of yoghurt carton that you attached to the front forks with the yoghurt carton sticking into the spokes?....... You know the Wicked, Bo, awesome V8 noise that that produced from your Raleigh Andy Ruffle...

I heard that cars with links to motor racing ie homologation specials are prime candidates for becoming future classics. What do peeps reckon, is it worth wrapping the Cup in cotton wool and dry storing it in the shady corner of an old barn? Or should I continue to cane it every day and run it...

LOL. I notice Top Gear have got the figures for the 182................. 0 - 60 7.4 secs !!!!!!!!!! Have they just changed the 172 bit to 182 and not bothered changing the performance figures / detail, or is it gonna be an easy slay for Cup owners.

Is it possible to change the front fog light bulbs for lower wattage ones so that I can use them as driving lights whenever I want? If so, why dont people that want to have their fogs on permanently do this, instead of risking fines from the police? - it would still look good!!!

Will need new front brake pads again soon - I bought Renault pads previously at £50 for the pair and fitted them myself. Am I able to upgrade to a performance pad without affecting warranty? and if so: Whats the best upgrade? Ive only got 2 months of the first year warranty...

I want a clear cover for the Cup spolier brake light - at the mo its red. I noticed the V6 one is clear and looks better - will one of those fit??

My car seems to be using oil quite quickly - I thought it wasnt topped up fully at the service - but checked it again today and its even lower. Does the cold weather have an effect on how much it uses?? Or am I paying the price for wringing its neck every single one of its 25,000 miles!!. It...

Would it be possible to have an exhausts guide on here? (Use this thread) Im thinking one where people with modified exhausts post up a link that shows their car at idle and accelerating away, also providing the info of what exhaust it is and model of car - so then anyone wanting a performance...

Ive had my 03 plate Cup since March 03, and have only had minor problems, ( apart from exhaust falling apart, and clutch needing replacing (mostly my fault!!!) such as rattles, poor quality related stuff etc.. Ive read on here that so many Cup owners have had numerous, quite serious problems -...

Just got a quote - anyone out there got a better one and if so where from? I assume the 172 service is just the same as the Cup as well, and would be an equal comparison.

My Cup is unbelievably more responsive in the cold weather. I swear I wouldve beaten a Ferrari today if id come up against one!! Mine is one of the quick uns anyway, and with this extra boost its easily sub 6 secs to 60.;) Only downside of the cold spell, apart from the ice!! is that its...

....Is due in 1000 miles, what sort of price is it?? ( I know they differ depending on how theyre feeling that day!!!!!!) Surely there should be consistency across the board - they all do the same things!!! Cheers.

When turning the steering further than you do in normal driving eg: turning round, I get this knocking noise, almost a cracking noise at a certain point and you can feel it through the steering wheel. Is this a common problem with cups? My previous car had a similar problem and it turned out...

Some low life, snivelling, uneducated, dick ead, toss pot, has keyed the wing of my car, and it now sports a 4 inch scratch on a previously unmarked motor!! :@ and :@. Livid!!!!!!!! NEEDED: Scratch repair magic cream! - (its not mega deep - but it is white in places where its down to the...
