I have been on track with the standard sports seats and they are more than sufficient at supporting someone. I didn't like the recaros when I drove a demo car with them. I found them to be too firm and for someone with a big tex like me, quite unsupportive!
Went to Oulton park this afternoon to watch my bro on a bike track day.
I havn't posted pics of my car up yet so decided to take a few pics of mine and Ashleigh's cars.
Comments welcome!

I was amazed in how much weisht can be easily stripped from the lightweight Cup. should imagine the "FF" spec would lose even more with the leather seats
Just came across some notes I made when I stripped the rear of my 172 Cup. I weighed everything as I removed it from the car. They may be of some use for people wishing to do the same.
All weights in KG
Rear bench - 4.6
Rear seat back - 9.0
Isofix bar - 2.3
Parcel Shelf - 2.05
Boot Carpet -...
I know what you mean with the economy, I average 26 on a 300 mile, £65 tank. The 172 was cheaper but had started to cost alot to repair on a monthly basis.
I think il buy the car at the end of my 3yr deal but sell it on for a diesel, or something with alot more power or desireablity and still...
I ran a samco hose and a K&N 57i cone on my 172 and it sounded good.
vid shows a few different setups, trophy has maxogen (one of the most expensive kits available), black 172 second from last has standard airbox with panel filter and my Cup is at the end. that is the only mod I ad for this...
Throttle bodies!
Ktec were doing a fitted price of about £2200 not so long back.
the standard car performs very well, the only other think i would change is brake line and fluid
Love it mate!
Sold my bike in Feb as I was getting to mad for the roads and it was only a matter of time before I came off.... again!
My bro has a P8F too and uses it on track all the time, completely standard and is still holding his own in the inter class!
Ride safe.
