It's the log book and chassis numbers they are buying on the RS2000! Heard it all before. Nothing worth keeping on that rust bucket. OIC we're on P15 now. DOH!

If you were by pizza express at the time twas me. You got the cup with carbon bonnet and white rims?

G/F lives in Harlow was on my way there. Dont think that was me later tho if thats what you mean. Just BMC and full throttle. Could drive through tunnels all day long, it cracks me up its so loud.

It was me m8 on my way to Harlow. Just put my BMC back on and was nice and noisy through the tunnels.

SP-08 is the face lift version i have. Youd probably need the other one. Prices vary a lot but i got mine ages ago.

About £250ish from Demon Tweeks i think. When you pull away you get a deep warbling almost Subaru like sound which gets louder the longer you hold down the pedal. Sounds great "on cam" through tunnels too. :D Was driving about pointlessly for ages after fitting it just being a noisy sod...

5 stud hubs? Megane turbo running gear perhaps? Why else would they bother? Turbo would be too quick to use all the power without lots of LSD (not drugs but they could help) and speed robbing traction control IMO. Maybe on the next clio. Doubt theyd go to all that trouble for a limited...

Second hand 172 wins on pure value for money. More choice of colours also. What do you want from the car should decide. Cups not an ideal everyday driver if you like comfort but bloody good fun.

Top man! :D

Im sure someone posted a diagram showing the toe/camber settings for a 172 and 172 cup on here once but cant seem to find it. Anyone got this info or can put a link in. Cheers.

Id rather buy a second hand 182 with cup pack. Depreciation is on the side of used car buyers. No big change from 182 to the new cup version. Bit pointless IMHO.
