Can you get the exalto 2s (tyres) for the cup.

Honestly i dont want to start any arguments, i just want to know. I know that the 172 mk1 mk2 cup and 182 are all similar in performance, it all depends on the launch and driver ability, but its amazing how 10bhp and a set of tyres can make that much of a differrence. anyone hear that has...

I know it might be the tyres but when comparing all the cars the 182 managed 6.73,. It might be the mileage aswell, that sounds more realistic, renault claims the 0-62 time in 7.1 seconds..

Bought the magazine over the weekend. It had the 182 and all the other hot hatches, comparing them all, im sure some of you might have seen it. It had the 182 doing a 0-60 in 6.73seconds just a fraction quicker than the new face lifted type r, was it Autocar that also said it done it in...

Hi People This is my sceond Cup now, just need a bit of advice from you lot. I part exchanged the old Cup because of an accident i had when it was snowing a While ago. i damaged the suspension, sub frame, steering rack, it never felt the same again. My first cup, i ran it in nicely under 3k...

One quick question for cup/172/182. How can i modify my cup e.g buying a piper cross induction kit without screwing my warranty. My local renault dealership told me if i was to modify anything my 3 year warranty would be out the window. Why is this the case, how have you lot modified your...

No I hit the last cup, it needed a new sub frame and steering rack, it never felt the same, i took it back to the dealers loads of times , i had enough, so just decided to part exchange. My last cup the steering was fine.

Just part exchanged my old Cup for a new pre registered Cup. Im a very happy man. One problem, even with the new cup the steering hangs slightly to the right. Is that normal. Cheers

Who makes these Exalto tyres what brand are they.

Thanks for all the tips They will be taxing the car for a year, starting from this month, thats good news, Its going to be diffucult running the car in all over again and not being able to put the pedal to the metal for a month or two. Regarding Matts i already have a set of Williams

i will try to. Cheers mate.

please ignore this thread, i just posted another one, i accidently hit the post topic half way through my sentence.

Sorry about the last thread. I have just part exchanged my old cup for a new one, i am part exchanging it for a pre registered 53 plate. The reason being my last cup had a little accident and needed a new sub frame and steering rack. It never felt the same and always tram lined. I pick up the...

I Have just part exchanged my 52 plate cup for a new pre registered late december 53 plate. The

cheers, i will update you lot Thanks for the replies.

I just bought an Alpine head unit. Do i need a special adapter for the display screen to work, i have been told i need one otherwise the display screen wont work. If i dont buy one the controls on the right hand side (volume control and changing stations) wont function. Have you lot...

Would these springs improve the handling on the Cup. I know a few 172/Cup owners have had the Eibach springs fitted, does it make a big difference. My Cup hates bumpy uneven surfaces, and tends to tramline. Would the Eibach springs be better than the current Cup springs. I live Ealing most...

Thanks for all the advice.

I just had a test drive in a civic type r, it had 17000miles on the clock. It was a 52 plate silver and in mint condition, i was thinking of doing a part exchange with my Cup. It currently costs £14000. To be honest with you the cup feels faster to 60, i managed to take the type r to 120...

thanks for all the advice. My cup tramlines on all surfaces, and also has no centre point on the steering wheel, it feels like the steering wheel can go 2/3 inches either way without any response from the wheels. I know it sounds really stupid but honestly thats the case. I have tried asking...

Honda have just rang me back with a better deal. They want to offer me the new face lifted version for around 14.5k they will buy my cup for around 9k settle the finance with renault. The new face lifted version has done 1000miles, has aircon ets, sounds like a better deal to me. Its the...

Cheers thanks for the advice.

I know alot of you might slate me, but i am thinking of exchanging my cup for a Civic Type R. Honda are willing to settle my finance with renault and offer me a second hand siver typre r with aircon for around £14000 with 15000miles on the clock. The only reason why i am doing this is because...

28-30mpg on average, but thats also around town.

No problem mate I know how you feel, not to worry you aint alone.

Mate the same kind of thing has happened to my car Its handling has gone doen the drain, brov not to be on a negative, it will never be the same again. I have gone back to my local dealer over 10 times in the last 10months with handling problems, ive had it all done, RTE Experts, someone...

Cheers for the advice it is much appreciated

The reason why i took the car to kwik fit is becuase renault are even sh*tter when tracking cars, everytime i have tracked my car at renault it always comes back worse. My steering wheel even hangs to the left when driving in a straight line, they cant even sort that out The springs are fine...
