My Titanium Grey Cup-S arrived over the weekend too

I find the interior a nice place to be for this price point. I even thought on the way home that it was really rather quiet! But maybe that's because my reference point is a little off...

Nice garage

They are very quiet if you're not pushing them - great as an everyday car.

Hope you both enjoy them! I loved mine when I had it.

Mines arrived from compound today. Exactly same panel gap issue as yours Nick. Needs sorting before I get the paint protection film done before delivery.

[jbaddeley]

Sent you a pm over on renaultsport Nick.

So how's everyone getting on with their car?

[jbaddeley]

Get mine on Tuesday all being well. Will update in due course!

Happy with mine so far despite only 500 miles in 3 weeks. Got the NS-2R semis fitted, the PFC pads and the RBF600. The real test will be Spa and DN15 in July though...

[Alex_6n2]

Yep, all good for me

Have done about 700 miles in three weeks since delivery. Engine seems a little bit better but the mpg is still quite low (Have averaged 26mpg so far)

Finally had a day free over the weekend to apply for Gtechniq's C2 Liquid Crystal and get everything sealed. Winner!

[MikeGoodwin]

Are these done with now then, assuming you cant order anymore?

Still some build slots there, not many at all though!

[MikeGoodwin]

Yeah, ive been looking. I think Ill try source a 2nd hand 275 with recaros.

We're going to pre-register a couple next month, one white 275 Cup-S with tints and one Black 275 Nav with 19's.

Thought we'd have a couple as a last hurrah!

And it's here. Looking forward to getting her run in!

Well done Jon, that colour really works with the shape and gives nice contrast with black trim! Are you going to track it ?

[Emubiker]

Just thought it would be worth mentioning. I have been emailed at work saying my local dealer has access to 20 275 delivery mileage cup-s and nav models. Some with options and priced from £19988.

Doesn't sound bad depending on spec. I've got a white Cup-S coming for £17995.

Yes nick. I'd bought a spare set of Tibors before I took delivery. Got 5 for £300 and they are like new. Dealer wanted £1300 for 4!!!' I'm awaiting your feedback on the brakes and ns2rs before taking the plunge. Thenfederals have been great on the m3 despite the bad press they get but I want to try something else. Most likely the ns2r. Think my first trackday will be the renaultsport evening on 12th at Bedford. Away for most of August and I'm tied to weekend trackdays unless it's in the school holidays. Unfortunately away for the renaultsport day at Bedford. If it wasn't holiday season pending I'd go for the cup 2s but it's an extra £200 and I doubt my skill level would reap the benefits. Could almost have an instructor for the day for that!

[jbaddeley]

Forgot to add I've now got 350 miles on. Should be able to start extending the rev range by Sunday when I'm out in north wales.

Where the hell did you find Tibors for £300 ? Ebay ? Lucky you either way.

I am running the NS2Rs on the road and, beside being noisy, they've been great so far. Not that much more grip than a Mich PSS yet but far more direct/communicative. The sidewalls are very stiff which bodes well on track (and also explains the noise). I start at 2.0 bars cold and they stabilise at 2.4F and 2.2R after 15 aggressive miles or so. They take the rain well but probably not great in standing water. But too early to tell as I understand they need a lot of scrubbing to start delivering their potential, plus road miles are not that relevant. The PFC Z-rated pads are quite superb and match the front tyres well. When the tyres are hot you can just about trigger the ABS but it takes a lot of shove and quite incredible retardation : but then the tyres are quite noisy in a race car kind of way. And then the rear end becomes quite loose, in a fun kind of way (up to a point). I am wondering if I should have upgraded the rear pads to match the fronts and settles the rear end...
