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...

Ive got a custom removable Decat with both Lambdas in place, as well as a very loud custom system behind it, single box jobby- and no issues over back pressure/loss of power etc. Sounds very like ECU problem. Stick a tube up its erse & check the emissions first, most garages will have the...

airbag light- turn car off, hold down trip computer button, and turn on ignition whilst holding this button down.Dash will then go into merry dance mode with chimes, needles dancing etc, give it 30 secs, turn it off, hey presto.

Al- the H7 headlights you can get via A1- my bro works for them & gets them half price, handy as i have to admit they do seem to blow a bit more often Ive had 2 sets in 20,000mls- The LED sidelights I think someone has beaten me to it & added a link- I got mine direct from PIAA. They make...

Industrial thinners, or Acetone works pretty immensely but I wouldnt have a clue how much damage it does. seen how quick a 216GSi was running on this stuff & it had to be seen to be believed. Funnily enough, my mate didnt have the car long after that....

I love the PIAA LED Blue/Blue ones I have, and frankly they are ridiculously bright blue- And the cops do look , but as they cant order them to be taken out, theres no issue, no one will bother taking you to court over a funky set of sidelights as the only offences that exist under the Road...

If anyone wants to consider it, and can store it, Sunoco will gladly sell you a drum of their GT fuel direct. I think normally you can get it at some tracks, 105-7 octane, smells like bubblegum, burns dead mast. Apparently the most oxygenated fuel you can legally use on the queens highway. Braw!!

MAC- dont let me down squire!! Essex metal indeed, probably the only thing Id have LESS than French. I had a wee head to head with one outside Stirling last week and it was not in it. Fancy a tour round to windy stuff on Sunday am to help you make up yer mind? I have a set of F1s I need to...

Hold down the trip computer button whilst turning on the ignition & starting the car. The dash will go crazy & youll get a chiming as the dials sweep round their arcs. Turn off the ignition & retry. The noise/crazieness stops & all dials etc reset- including your airbag light.

I am a tube- thats the ones mate

Im thinking of getting a set of K & M Phase 2 Coilovers- Ride height & rebound adjustable. Anyone any experience with these or any other C/vers on a Cup?

Cheers for this Jay, and the PM re. suspension too Well appreciated mate.

Thank you my good man!! Will try it tonight light permitting.(y)

How do I get to it, can I tighten it in the driveway, what size of socket is it, and do I need to jack the motor up? any advice would be appreciated. Ta

Count me in for this mate- name & address supplied if needed. Wrote 5 letters to Reno already.

Sorry Phillip, the knocking from the suspension & the alternator thing are 2 separate issues. Seems to be the same suspension knock as everyone else gets- I heard that the springs/shocks cured it altogether- been waiting ages on Reno coming back with a fix. I fancy Eibach/Koni adj/Poly Bushes...
