Working up in Banbury/Brackley yesterday and happend to see one of these! Looked absolutely awesome even though it was still half covered in protective red plastic lol. Doubt ill ever see one again on the road unless im really lucky as i hear quite a few of them have been bought by Sheiks and...
Well after lots of hard work and spending lots of money finally getting the Cup to how i wanted it, i.e completely std and as mint as possible, ive had to sell it :( Missus got a new job wid company car and already has a new Fiat 500 so regrettably the Cup had to go and my new mode of transport...
At long last and after months of saving and spending money on parts the Cup is finally how i want it! The aim was to get it completely back to standard and make it one of the cleanest around. There are still a coupe of very small jobs i may do but not decided yet...

recently had my car sorted by the legend that is Mick (MickPM) but he told me when i picked the car up it was misfiring a bit and the CLIP system was throwing out a cylinder 2 Misfire code, the car has always been a bit lumpy at idle and a bit spluttery but once on song theres no problems at...
Made the yearly trip up to wales again this year for the rally! Hired out a LWB Merc Sprinter with a couple of mates, fitted it out with a tv, ps3, lights, generator etc so we could stay occupied in the middle of the forest! lol First day at Great Orme was amazing, weather was perfect and the...

i have noticed that when i start the car that the immobiliser light doesnt quite go out, its almost as though its being back lit by the dashboard but the dashboard lights arent on! wandered if it might be a bad earth or maybe the battery on its way out? the central locking button also does the...

after all the money and time ive spent on getting my 172 cup to as near mint as possible the sodding uch appears to have reared its ugly faulty head again! got it back from BBA reman after the indicator got stuck on, fitted it back in and all was ok..... for 2 days! now wipers come on randomly...
as some of you may know i had the dreaded uch fault recently with the right hand indicator sticking on. Asked renault to have a look at it whilst it was in for a service, they blamed the hazard switch and changed it (for the pricely sum of £60!!:eek:) even though i was 100% certain it was uch to...

Me and a m8 of mine decided this year we would do something a bit different for our birthdays and hire out a car but wanted something a bit different. Found a company called atomhire.co.uk and decided to hire one of their 300bhp Supercharged monsters for the day! The guy who sorted out the car...
