How do people think the depreciation is going on 172s and more specifically Cups? I might have the chance to buy a last of the line, low mileage Classic shape Impreza Turbos (X Plate) which is worth about the same as my car. Which is going to be the safer bet over the next two years? Are the...

I love my Cup to bits - its great, and whenever I chat with people thinking of buying a quick car I always get them to consider a 172/182. I suppose its like the girl you cheated on your missus with - she gets stuck in your head and you cant help think that you would rather have her (ooer, not...

Yeah - thats what Im wondering, problem is I really liked it ;) It did feel silly quick when driving down a country road and accelerating past a couple of cars - I was not expecting them to have such instant acceleration but I still cant work out whether it was just the boost sensation i.e. my...

lol - it would be if Michael Schumacher was driving it Im sure.

Do people think cars can feel quick when in fact they are not? The reason I ask is that I drove a friends Impreza today, its an X plate "Classic" shape UK Turbo with no mods. Thing is, it felt *much* quicker than my Cup when accelerating at any speed, it didnt have the point and go handling...

Lovely - should have searched more thoroughly. Thanks

Maybe Im being a Dumbass, but I cant seem to find anywhere online that I can buy an ITG panel filter for a 172 - Im sure if I was to ring up most places could get them but they dont seem to have them online? Would it be worth me waiting for my Membership - i.e. is there a supplier that gives a...

What happened with this? Are the parts from Dieppe available? Cheers

Does anybody on here have two (or more!) Clios, e.g. a 172 as a main car and a Valver as a trackday/play thing? Just wondered how painful people have found this (i.e. cash wise!), can a valver be cheap to run if only used once in a while and repaired by yourself? Any talk of experiences...

1) Cool, so Eibach springs actually add to the Cups handling with standard shockers? 2) The Viper is actually worth the cash? How about placing the scoop on the outside of the car - how has that gone for people, does anybody have pics? 3) Which Exhausts are people going for? I like the look...

Lads/Lasses, From experience, do we have a list of mods that can be performed on a Cup that will actually improve it, i.e. the standard car is flexible to drive and well balanced - what mods just improve on this without lossing anything? Also, what can be carried out without affecting the...

".......Above assumption is based on the fact that a cup is 2 secs faster around bedford than a 03 WRX which is more or less equal in speed to the classic!....." Blimey - 2 seconds, that seems incredible - was the guy in the Impreza even trying? The Turbo Classics are supposed to be more raw...

I would love to hear from other people who have gone from Cup (or 172/182) to UK Turbo (Classic not bug-eye) or visa versa, because I am currently having this battle with myself - 1. Love the Cup, quick, handles nice (if just a bit too nervous at speed) and brakes well. MPG is fantastic. 2...
