Your speedo is over-reading then! ;)

[sighs] The Cup and mk2 172 both have the SAME engine, gearbox and rev limit... As I said earlier, a standard car will hit the limiter at 7250rpm in 1st, 2nd & 3rd and at 7000rpm in 4th & 5th

True the "peak" power figure is achieved at around 6500rpm, however the power does not suddenly drop away and slow you down, it levels and gradually tails off. If you were to short shift at 6500rpm then especially in 1st & 2nd youd drop out of the power band and it would actually slow you down...

Mine are pretty much mailto:sh@gged">sh@gged now and I need new ones, but I deffo wont be putting more Contis on... The ones to go for are: Goodyear Eagle F1s (expensive though) Uniroyal RainSport 1s Michelin Pilot Exaltos Avon ZV1s Toyo Proxes etc... Give Yozza a shout for...

According to the gearing a Cup or mk2 172 will do 142.8mph @ 7000rpm in 5th, so will read slightly higher on the speedo due to error.

A standard Cup or 172 should hit the limiter at 7250rpm in 1st, 2nd & 3rd and at 7000rpm in 4th & 5th when fully warmed up! Now summat aint right with yours... As for the green light, its just there to warn you before the limiter kicks in, nothing else.

Probably a bumper off job... They will bolt on from the rear, to a bracket at a guess going off other cars!

Well if were making a list... 172/Cup/182 CTR ITR Cooper-S Works Golf R32 206 GTi-180 Bug Eye WRX Focus RS BMWs (not stuff like M3s obviosuly) etc... However, I dont just cruise round looking for races, in fact I aint seen much action in the Cup!

Well weve played chase before now, both on the road and the strip, plus I drove yours when yous just had the ECU done. On the road there wasnt a massive difference, but then on the strip I seem to get away better and am in front 1st & 2nd, then you catch and pass me in 3rd, then are away and...

Problem is that they all vary mate, so its gonna be impossible to tell...

No... when it breaks! :oops:

Really?! Thats the first one Ive heard of then... :confused:

Would like to see a CTR there...

But only for a few secs before I pass him! :devilish:

Keep an eye out in your mirrors for a blue Cup then... ;)

Nah, there has only been one "Cup" model (so far) and the Speedline alloys, seats, etc... are all standard items. They changed a couple of minor things since the first cars, like clear side repeaters & de-locked one side, but theyre 99.9% the same. However on the last few cars you could get...

Best way to check is look on http://www.autotrader.co.ukwww.autotrader.co.uk and see how much theyre actually going for, rather than looking at price guides... And yes, an import is gonna be worth less!

LCR = Leon Cupra R

Read the handbook matey, it tells you in there...

Only available from Shell stations... Mine has been run on this from day one!

Aye, thats exactly what I did and mines a quick example now... :D

No... theyre very reliable... :sick:

Aaaah... I remember those days... :D Wont be long now until it breaks though! ;)

Seeing as how the handling on the 182 has been highly praised then I dont think the 205s are gonna cause a problem... ;)

Err... the Cup suspension is harder, so the ride is worse! :oops:

Like weve already said... You want a 10W40 semi-synthetic oil, that meets ACEA A3 standards!

Nah, that was jpmad4it and I was gonna drive it...

Im with them, and this was even before the ClioSport discount was involved... Seem quite knowledgable and efficient so far and never heard any bad reports about them!
