36k service done. Paid £8k for it a year ago and the cost of the plate, exhaust, brakes etc add up to about 2 grands worth of receipts. £6k seems a bit cheap but I guess it's only worth what someone is willing to pay so somewhere between £6,000 and £6,300 will have to do. ta

Thinking about selling the Cup, details below; 52 reg but now got J20 CUP on it 36k miles FSH with warranty from the dealer new front discs pads & calipers from Reno, new rear drilled & grooved EBC discs + greenstuff pads & calipers all new Proxes Custom made Powerflow SS exhaust with...

Yes mate that's me. Don't remember being cut up by anyone although I'm pretty laid back so wouldn't have stressed me out (MY ARSE!!!!!!) What car was it the b*stard!?!? ;)

Mine pulls to the left but I just thought it was a bit of torque steer? Bit worried now!

Have got an aftermarket exhaust but it's coming through the bumper so don't think it will be affected. If 40mm is the way to go then that's what I shall do! Thanks again everyone

Met up with Tim from Chester the other week and his Cup is lowered 40mm on Apex springs. Mine looks like a bloody monster truck next to his so need to get it lowered. The problem is I sometimes have been known to take someone in the back and there's usaully a set of golf clubs in the boot! Will...

Any idea what the plate was like?

Anyone know the biggest speakers I can get in the front & back without having to modify anything? + any particular recommendations??

Try William (Bill) Rutter on that industrial estate near MFI. Roundabout before MFI (coming from Mark Rutherford school way), go right, follow it along for a bit then right again and it's down the bottom past the Ford place. Used to take my 106 Rallye & RS Turbo there. Good bunch of guys.

Good guess! Got a couple of options, one of which is a non-cup, and seeing as I know feck all about engines etc. I prefer to check with you guys before forking out the £££s

Can anyone tell me for sure whether there is the slightest bit of difference between a 172 airbox and a Cup 172 airbox??? I know it's probably a bit of a stupid question!:S

something like £1,600 fully comp for 172 Cup, 2 yrs NCB, 22 yrs old (Comes from the fact that after the test drive I just said 'yes' and then realised I had no idea what the insurance was lol!....worth it in the end!)
