Changed my front shocks over on my 172 cup and noticed on rebuilding the top mounts onto the shock that there is a lot of play in it. i have tightened up the top mount nut as much as it will go but I can still move the rubber doughnut up and down and a bit side to side (Whilst off the car). Is...

What year is your 1.8T ? if your running on the AGU engine with small turbo (K03)and don't plan to do anything else with it then value for money would be an Upsolute Chip (app £325) and he'll come to you to fit it. You'll be looking at around 190-195bhp which is about the limit on the K03 turbo...

Nice one, just the info I needed thanks :D

Wondering if the standard front suspension geometry settings on my 172 cup are still the best to used as it has been lowered. Just finishing off my suspension mods and am going to get a 4 wheel alignment check done but the settings on the alignment machine are for standard factory 172 set up...

If it's any comfort mate I had almost the identical dent/crease on mine but on the drivers side a real eyesore. Used a firm called Dentex, guy came out and sorted it in 15mins and did two small dings on my drivers door while he was at it and charged me £47.00 :D dent gone!! so I'm sure yours...

Ah,172 Cup could have been me, I was crawling in traffic heading towards Junction 5 roundabout at around 4.00pm yesterday and saw a 172 cup going the other way at the last minute. Got on the M27 and saw another 172 cup a couple of mins later heading west bound on the otherside of the m-way.

Thanks Rich, if you could pm me some contact details that would be great!:D

Looking to get a really annoying car park dent removed from my rear quarter panel and wondering if anyone can recommend someone in the Hampshire area (Pref near Portsmouth) that can do a good job?....Cheers.

Running 205/40/16 Yokohama Parada spec 2's on my Cup and extremely pleased with them in wet and dry. Nice and square to the rim aswell and don't crash over bumps, not the most important thing but they look the business aswell.

Tap tap tap tap...yep me too! I've only had the car a week and was looking all over it at the weekend. Same scenario as others though give a rev and it disappears for a short while. Thought it might be to do with a faulty hydraulic follower as they are dependant on oil pressure and when you give...

Thanks for the info just what I needed. Car's going in for a bit of warranty work on Tuesday so will get the ECU fitted after that and let you know.

Nice one thanks. Thought I'd best check before I fry anything.

Hello to all !! First post on the forum for me... I've just recently purchased a 172 Cup which came with an extra ECU remapped to Group N spec. I bought the car with the std ECU fitted but would like try out the Grp N ECU which used to be fitted to the car. Before I go ahead and swap it over is...
