Take your time getting to know her. Welcome. Thanks. Picking it up sometime in the next 2 weeks depending on when finance is sorted. Already thinking about potential mods - that can't be good for my wallet [emoji13] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vish Posted 1, October 2014 Author Report Share Posted 1, October 2014 Has anybody noticed how badly the car 'tramlines' ? Or is it just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 13, October 2014 Report Share Posted 13, October 2014 I've never had tramlining in my CLIO but I did have it bad in my Mini Cooper S when it had runflat tyres fitted. What tyres did they deliver the car with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the OEM tyres are on the CUP. Dunlop SportMaxx? Noticed it a fair bit during the first few days while going on top of tram tracks.

They used to come with Continental, then Michelin, sometimes Dunlop. In any case tramling upon tramlines is to be expected I think. On a normal road surface, tramlining is caused by an inflexible tyre wall forcing the tyre to follow irregularities in the road surface.

vish Posted 14, October 2014 Author Report Share Posted 14, October 2014 lol.... Renault changes OEM tyres with their undies.. That made me go down to the carpark to have a look They are indeed Dunlops. I'll just learn to avoid tram tracks when possible. On the bright side, the grip is alright in the dry - Went for a run up/down Towonga gap over the weekend. My mate had a hard time keeping up in his 328i with all the 'M Performance' upgrades he could get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 15, October 2014 Report Share Posted 15, October 2014 Ah so you got it? I saw a red cup on the weekend - I love it! It certainly was a good choice. The black wheels on the cup look fantastic too, particularly with that colour. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vish Posted 21, October 2014 Author Report Share Posted 21, October 2014 Question for you guys - Is the first 1500 km 'check up' worth it? It's free and will apparently only take about 15min according to the service guy I spoke to, but I can't really find the time to take the car there due to work/other commitments.

chuckovski Posted 21, October 2014 Report Share Posted 21, October 2014 I reckon it's worth it so you get it stamped in your service booklet - when I buy a car if it's not brand new the service book has to be done right; so in the interest of resale ...

Not planning to sell it, but I suppose it's something to consider. The guy said it's optional and would involve checking fluid levels/tyre pressures etc, i.e. basic checks I do anyway. If only they worked weekends... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 22, October 2014 Report Share Posted 22, October 2014 It's odd, all places I've had my car serviced at have had weekend hours Maybe call around town to see if any other Renault service departments are open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vish Posted 6, June 2015 Author Report Share Posted 6, June 2015 Arthur's seat rd. Grew some balls and stuck with it through the hairpins - holy #@$% this thing grips! Can't even imagine what it would be like with a proper diff/stickier tyres! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
