I owned a 172cup for 4 years and loved everything about it. Since then owned a few cars in between and current have an 02 ctr which I'm trading in for a clio 200ff soon. I test drove a few ctr's when i had the cup and didn't think much to them - no mid range. I got the ctr as a temporary car...

From your dedication on running the club both me and Stef have really appreciated your hard work from organised holidays, parties etc and met some really nice people along the way. Including yourselves, obviously. :)

Thats a real shame to see K&W go as they work so hard to keep the club going along with the team but like Yozza says its upto everyone to make the effort and keep the forum a fun and friendly place to be. Where is Captain Slarty now??

Reading the ad it states it has KW adjustables but looking at the pic its got tractor height.

Ernie and the fastest milk float in the west.

Cheers for info. I believe the pad compound is different from 182 to 172 - resists fade better. thanks

Can someone provide me with the reference number for the 182 brake pads please?

Was at Heathrow airport the other day picking up the misses and received a laser alert on my Origin B2. Noticed a police van further down the road driving slowly, luckly i was 10mph under the limit. Thing is with laser is that you have no time to slow down once your alarm goes off as bascially...

My cup is fairly quick, probably same as Yozs, however Roamers is probably the quickest i know of at the moment ;)

Philip, Have had them on since beginning of December and their doesnt seem to be much wear. I do hammer them all the time as they are so powerful. Youll be amazed how late u can brake in all weathers but the tyres will make a difference too. Speak to Julian Griffin on 07977 583 999 and tell...

Hello, Im using european clio cup spec grooved brake disks and performance friction pads on my Cup. The difference over standard is night and day. Fade and soggy pedal never happens however hard u abuse the brakes. Combining this with rainsport tyres and my new suspension set up I can drive...

KDF - I have Rainsports on my Cup and find them to have very soft side walls which I find flexes more than the contis, so at the limit the car feels more squidy and unsafe unless thats me. Ive just gone through front tyres in 1000 miles.

CocoPops - Keep the 172 rip all the interior out except for drivers seat throw some more mods at it like sequential box and have it as an all-out raw track car. Or u could just keep it standard. Hows the exhaust?

Agree with Scooby Stu. Use to own a standard 1.8T Cupra and handling did suck compared to Cup, which is why I traded it for the Cup. The chassis is from a 1995 polo so not good. The interior is much better than a clio but it depends what u want.

Upgraded my sides and dipped with PIAA bulbs last year for the Cup and it looks like it has xenons now. Looks much better than std and u can see more in the dark i think.
