In the Glasses giude a 02 172 with 11000 miles on it should go for a top book of 12,300. How do I know, becuase the nice Sucaru salesman showed me today while looking at my car with a view to buying a new WRX, ooo nice!! Of course thats a UK car!

I dont think we get that programme in Scotland!!????

Well then why dont you hop on the ferry to Stranraer, go up the M77, accross the M8, up the M90, fire into Dunfermline, then follow me to Crail?? It could be the first Celtic(writing that word against my will) meet!;)

I read it as, of the 6000 172s built last year, 2000 were sold in the UK, I presume the rest went to Europe!

Cupsize, I feel I was a bit harsh on you, I appoligise!:cool: I once thought along the same lines as you. I used to think my 172 would cane the ass off a VTS or equivalent, but it just doesnt happen. I reckon to beat a car convincingly you need at least another 100 BHP. With cars like the...

Have I missed something why has this board been invaded by deisel drivers? Anyway..... Who was it that said torque is everything? Dont agree with you there mate, not going by experience anyway. My 172 has 150 odd lb/ft of torque. My mates chipped Cupra has 240lb/ft of torque. Now, he makes...

A good time had by all I think youll agree. Just hope its dry next time, so I dont have to worry about understeer and 80MPH!:confused: Anyway here are a few pics, all stationary in the car park, I wasnt brave enough to take any on the move pics!! Need some tips from Craggy! Oh and the RS...

Jonto, That guy is so full of bull sh*t, I have my doubts that he ever owned a Cup. Also would the insurance company let you pilfer the car as he is supposedly doing!

The_GZA(Chris) was comlaining that his cup was sticking in 2nd gear!

Hairdresser?;)

Rich, Just read yer post on scoobynet, r u surprised you beat it? I would have thought you would have edged it going by your stats!

Guys, the standard figs for a 4Motion are 7.1 to 60 and 146 MPH.

You hosted the pics on yer site though!

Bump!!

Having read the response on the other thread, and drawing my own opinions from other threads hes contributed to, I have come to the conclusion that CUPSIZE is a tube!! You really do have no clue do you boy! 89KG is not enough of a difference for a a car with exactly the same engine to make...

Can you please post the pics of your car with the new seats and K-Tec exhaust. Cheers Paul

What happened to that other post?

Cmon a full tank of petrol is not the weight of a fully grown man! The MK2 was weighed with a full tank too, so by going by that theory the MK2 is c. 1055KG

Your case only compounds what I thought. Theres no way the chip alone can give you 184BHP. Youve obviously had a lot of time spent on your car to get it set up to work with the rest of your mods.

Everyone quoting 1035KG for the MK1 is deluding themselves. Renault basically cocked up when it came down to giving out the correct weight figures. The cliosport weighbridge test showed as much. 1100KG for a MK1! Why do you think the MK2 is every bit as fast as the MK1!!! If there were a...

I think its widely accepted that the SuperChips chip is, well, crap!;) Im sure some on here got a superchip, superchips supposedly rrd his car at the stated 184 bhp, however at an independant rr day he made the lowest of all the clios!

Where are you from, Ireland?

Cupsize, Most manufacturers have different 0-60 times than that of the mags. Its basically to cover themselves. If they say the car can do 0-60 in 6.5 then they wil be open to critisism from people who are unable to achieve this! So they say 6.9, then you pull a 6.5 out of the bag, hey...

The cup has a differnet ECU to the 172, who told you that? Im going to order the ECU upgrade and put into my 172, cant see anything preventing me from doing so!
