aye for the cup but i'm an old git @31 and I live in a wee town 100yds from a police station which probably helps!!?

£240!!!!!! I will find out who it's with as i'm not sure cos the missus sorted it out.

Hmmm K-tec have just got back to me and FFS it is a ph1 ECU that I have been given!!!! so I am now looking for another ph2 172 ECU, anyone? oh and I have a ph1 ECU spare now hurrah!!

my mate has a 172 exclusive and his old boy has a GTI180 and my mate and his dad both reckon the 172 is quicker.....I myself have test driven a 180 and I didn't think it was as quick either and most definately not as involving.

that 1 ^^^^ is deffo a fake!!

occaisonally see another cup on my run to work and my mucker has an exclusive but apart from that hardly see any about at all.

had the cup around 9-10 months, done just under 6500 miles the car now reads 13500 miles.

that road is jay kay's favourite road in britain he has a wee pad up there somewhere. p.s I live 4 miles from strathpeffer.

aye, you need pacenotes on that road!

aye I have, I used to go up there for a blast on the odd weekend when I had my mk1 golf gti never been up that far in the cup though!! must try it. Up west is great too towards gairloch/ullapool etc.

sounds like fun, I know what you mean (ollie) because I live just north of inverness and the roads up here are great and the rozzers are not too hot either.

Once the missus turned 25 I had to get something a little fruitier as the main car having gone down the rover 200/25 route previously for insurance purposes, altho I didn't mind having the rovers as i've always had my old school toys also mk1 xr2/ mk1 golf gti/ and now mk1 fiesta supersport. I...

i've replied to your other post but, I had 7x17 205/40 ET35 on a -40 apex 172 cup and it was no problem at all even with bods in the back.

aye I know about the unlocking side of things but i've sent it off to K-TEC for a group N reflash so that will take care of that TBH I didn't check the part no as it was (alleged) to come off a 172CUP bought from cit-ren breakers, it's just that looking on BBPT website and also another which I...

I had 7x17 205/40 ET35 rims on a -40 apex sprung cup and it was no problem at all.

the reason I ask is that I have bought a spare ecu, supposed to be from a cup and the front (flat side) is black, but all other ph2 ecu's that I have seen pics of are silver!! yet the ph1's that I have seen were black!!! I hope I have not got myself a turkey. cheers

far north of scotland.

best bet would be to get a spare/second ecu and get that reflashed incase the car has to go in for warranty work IMO.(that's what i've done anyway).

How much induction roar do vipers give on small to part throttle opening? I wouldn't mind trying one but I would prefer for it to be fairly low key under normal pootling about driving. cheers.

looks fantastic, I am after another set of turinis at the minute also to get the anthracite treatment.

wow!!! buy 2 get 1 free, so if you run the 3 in series you could probably get the full 120hp and for as little as 15 squid.......ding dong.

I bought my cup back in july /august last year, 53 plate and got a full 3year warranty from date of purchase......result. It ony had 7500K on it tho and the previous owner was 72years old lol.

I actually noticed a reduced '5K kick' after fitting just an ITG panel filter although I felt the lowdown throttle response was slighlty improved.

hmm i've never stalled the cup and in all honesty I can't see why so many people have trouble with the RS clio's coming off clutch!! not saying i'm the stig or superior in any way but i've always thought that this was a strange un.........BTW the missus has never stalled it either, wierd!!

you would love those wheels until it was time to clean them I reckon!!!

i'm a good bit further north than you eviljohn, north of inverness in the home of Ross County FC.

north of scotland, I went out for a wee run to the shop but it was just too hairy!!!!

it started here @ 5 o'clock and hasn't stopped, this pic was taken around 8.30

I apex'ed my cup about 5 weeks ago and it is still dropping, although it has probably only done around 150 miles in that time!! the tracking is deffo needing looked at now tho whereas just after it was done it felt fine.

53plate cup 13000 miles, so far so good apart from a rattly passenger seat.
