Hey everyone x

Hey everyone,

I'm Chloe from Essex and my parents have just bought me a 172 cup to replace my old fiesta that failed it's MOT.

Is the cup a good one, because may parents just bought me it without asking :S I wanted a 182 (the red ones with the dark wheels) but didn't have enough to put towards it

I've already put some alloys on it and was wondering what I could do to it next?

Anyone else on here from Essex?

Chloe xx

well imo the cup is the drivers one! but i hope you are aware it doesnt have abs or any driver aids! also the wheels you have taken off are very good wheels......

in terms of next i would go suspension brakes and an exhaust

possibly the quickest bar the v6 but not proven, also does away with all the luxurys but weighs in at less and if people tell you weight doesnt make a difference they are lying

p.s welcome to cs

 

[phchloe]

What wheels is it supposed to have?

What's ABS?

It's got aircon and power steering which my fiesta didn't have

 

[JON13S]

abs is anti lock braking (stops you skidding) go careful in the wet....

should have come with speedline turinis on see my lil pic....

its rare they come with aircon.

 

[phchloe]

Thankyou

I'm not sure what to call her yet.

Nice car, make sure you drive it carefully and lets hope you're rents dont regret buying you this car.

 

[JON13S]

lol! just give her a good name............ theres loads of info on here .use the search function it will become your best friend as sometimes folk on here are not all to helpful. but then other times they are stars. right im off to bed! balls to staring at this laptop any longer lol

 

[NOT! gary l]

I usually make a name for my cars from the last 3 letters of the registration, it is called that name when it is'nt being battered basil fawlty style and called little c**t.

 

[phchloe]

The first two letters are HT so maybe I should call her Heather?

 

[xllifts]

Hi i'm new here also.
But as already said the 172 cup is the Drivers car and is as fast as the standard V6 up to 4th gear then the V6 comes on line with the power. :dapprove:

Be very careful in the wet as this little rocket will catch you out. Nice car cherish it.

Induction kit will give you good gains without too much expense.

Enjoy.
Dave

Any pics? If the alloys on the cup were standard they'r mint wheels!

Fiesta to 172 Cup seems a pretty tasty upgrade!

The red one with the black wheels, Would of been a trophy IIRC,

Hi fraser

 

[.GAZ.]

alot of the cups are HT.. registered in portsmouth.. must be a storage yard there

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Id watch what your doing love, Thats a drivers car so easy on the anchors as there lack of ABS wont save you when you stand on the brakes!

 

[Eliganza]

your parents bought you a cup....

why aren't my parents so generous. welcome, im from essex, and pretty much a n00b, where abouts are you from?

 

[theduck]

Welcome!

 

[Yellow Dave]

Hi there, where in Essex are you? and what colour 172 do you have. I'll keep and eye out.

Get a nice exhaust on there, as the original one is bound to fall off fairly soon

 

[Yellow Dave]

I mentioned this the last time I saw a thread from someone in Essex, even linked it to the thread in local meets, but it never went any further
