When you say you made nearly £1k, do you mean profit? or you got £1k back on what you spent?

I agree

Yep. They are'nt called stealers for nothing

How many miles was it on when you bought it? From a dealer or private? I think you paid over the odds for it tbh

Hmmm

I would'nt bother swapping any RS Clio for another unless there was something wrong with the one I already had. Theres not enough difference between them to justify the hassle IMO. If you want a different car, buy a different one!

Yep. Mk II 172 FF is more like 165bhp/tonne IIRC

A nightmare on the motorway? - eh? Sure you need to bear it in mind when driving in the wet, but its not that bad. And your better off without ABS on snow or ice you donkey! :clown:

Good work Paul :approve: Shame the power was so down on claimed to begin with

Just to try one - eh? Come on, wheres the CS dash experts today?

My first one never worked properly - dodgy laser that only read discs half the time. Second one lasted about 3 weeks before getting the 'ring of death' Third one still works so far! Build quality seems to be shocking on 360's. I would'nt be surprised if they were repairing and re-selling...

Yep. Did that too. Everything died :S

LOL Its a 'You should have shifted already' light

Yesterday morning as I drove to work my dash seemed to die for a second. I'd just pulled out of my drive and driven 400m down the road when all the lights went off and dials died then quickly came back on again. I'm not sure but the headlights might have switched off at the same time. The engine...

cli0 172 - whats a 'Pro-Seed 172'?

Yes. I like blue :approve:

It does'nt sound like it. I always give it at least 15mins before going above 3000rpm and never have that problem. But then I rarely hit the limiter or see the shift light either. The temp gauge on the dash does'nt tell you if the engine is fully up to temperature unfortunately. It shows...

WTF is with all the Cup value threads this week?! I'd say the silver ones generally command a premium as they are rarer, newer than most (was only available near end of production), and came with the option of CC. But you'd have to take the condition and milage of the car into account of course.

Re: ?? Great title :rolleyes:

It would'nt have been the same without you in my mirrors old chap ;)

Ditto. And that was only last summer

I think your forgetting all the crashed Cups ;)

Cup if your doing track days - its the only place it will have any real 'edge' over the standard 172. As long as you can live without the toys of course.

Sport?

I suggest using the search function. The pros and cons have been weighed up many a time. There are a few Cups that came with Climate Control as an option. But they are rare and some of the last to be built so generally worth more

When are you replacing them? When they reach the legal limit? (1.6mm over 75% of tyre) or When they start to tramline more and damp/wet performance starts to drop off? My front Conti's have just over 2mm left on them but are tramlining more and skiddy in damp (not full wet) conditions.

Without taking it on track? Maybe I need to try harder.....

Pursuing a Caterham R300 and VX220 Turbo cross country all the way to Brighton and back (>50 miles each way). The Cup got the thrashing of its life but more than held its own. Loved it :evil:

Are you sure your not confusing ph1 172's and ph 2 172's. A 172 Cup can be had for less than a ph2 172 surely. But ph 1 (pre face lift) 172's are cheapest of all. Cups are becoming an endangered species though. And are the best ;)

WTF?! Lead-foot?
