    Whiteline Springs?

    Can't comment on Whiteline springs, but I am very happy with my Cooksport springs. It is a 30mm drop all round but everything I read says they're much more compliant than H&R. To me the Cooksports feel much like the Cup springs in general driving, but when you press on or get on track the car...

    Aftermarket Exhaust - Scorpion

    I can see why you think this Micah, but I'm not convinced you gave it time for the exhaust to settle down. My Cobra definitely quietened down after 500-1000 miles. Akra sounds ideal in theory but I dismissed it as strictly speaking removal of a cat is illegal & I took the view that a sports cat...

    Aftermarket Exhaust - Scorpion

    This was definitely the case with my resonated Cobra system. It was very loud at first. The garage that fitted it said it would quieten down after & few miles & it did. It can still be a bit droney on a long up hill stretch of motorway, but as soon as the road levels out it quietens down again.

    Tyres

    I've used PS4 both on road & on track & really rate them. Maybe a tad slower than AD08r on track in the dry, but miles better in the wet. Better than the Continental Sport Contact 3 & 5s I had before. For everyday use plus the occasional track day I think they're great. The best all round tyre I...

    Aftermarket Exhaust - Scorpion

    The decat keeps the pre-cat in the manifold & loses the other cat. For a good price try going through Dave Johnson on the RS197/200 Facebook group as he gets members a discount. People seem to get through the MOT ok.

    Clio RS200 Racing Blue - South East New Member

    Cup is pretty much as @Beany said. The actual brake callipers are the same on both cup & non cup, but Cup & Cup pack were painted red. A lot of non Cups have had the callipers painted red by owners though. You also get lowered, firmer suspension & a quicker steering rack.

    Clio RS200 Racing Blue - South East New Member

    Welcome in. Yeah Cups might be a bit basic, but they're a hoot to drive! Good colour too RB. Look forward to watching the mods evolve. Maybe start a progress thread.

    No! Highland cattle are "cool" coos! I don't object to more car pics too however.

    Ultra Red 200 Cup FF

    VERY nice! Fancy a cup S myself. My local dealership had a new one when I was last in, just after production ceased. Am I right in thinking some had Ohlins shocks? That'd be a great spec. Hope you have them. Great colour too. Pleased for you mate.

    Beanys RB 200 cup

    Joking aside, I do have Wintraks on the Clio just now! If there's a lot of snow up here in a couple of weeks I might drive down on them & use my PS4 on track. If the weather's better it'll be PS4 for the drive down & hopefully a chance to try my Toyo R888r out on the track.

    Beanys RB 200 cup

    That's you & @Big Ben going. I might have to make the trip down. Need to maintain my southern roots! Who's running this day? I've just booked Silverstone GP for 17 Feb with Open Track. Hopefully the journey down from Scotland will be snow free. It'll be great to drive the British GP track.

    Car splutters after exhaust change

    From memory insurers (Green light) weren't concerned about the remap if power increase was less than 10%. RS Tuning did the remap after work fitted my Cobra exhaust & it showed 188bhp, which is a pretty typical output on their rolling road. More importantly than headline figures the...
