Yes you deffo could get a 53 reg for that if you bought private. With warrenty.
If you want RAW! are are into trackdays then get a Cup. Plus because of the lack of AC you can slap on more mods. Plus a Cup is way more suited to trackdays but.........
If you want a good,quick day to day can with...
Yeah worried about things like the turbo charger breaking.
The Ford and vauxhall could be money saving options but....
the 172 at £5k ain't gonna drop much more money but a Focus or Astra costing £5k has still got a bit to drop. There are focus's on Autotrader for £1.5k!
Seen a red one (my fav colour) for 5k with 55k on local to me.
It's either one of them or:
Focus Zetec 2.0 (cheap to run/insurance/good handling)
Astra 1.8 SXi (cheap to run but aren't amazing handling at least compared to the Focus)
Audi A3 1.8T (not keen on the early models which is all I...
No their not but some people have made freaky fast speedo videos.
Most of the modded 172/182's are well into the 5's though.
I make that about 8 secs yeah but thats according to the speedo. You need to get down the 1/4 miles places and test it out.
I timed my standard VTR at about 8 on the...
That looks slow after all the 172 speedo videos i've seen here in the past. I make it about 8 secs though
They all look about 5 secs on the video btw. Speak to Subway lol
I have a 172 Cup and Megane 1.6 16v. Now unless your Coupe is hundreds and hundreds of Kg's lighter than the hatch there is no way on earth that in a straight line blat you'd get anywhere near a 172/182 with similar driver. Even with 130bhp!
The Cup does feel like a wippet with a rocket up it's...
It's basically cutting my loses! I'll sell the Cup to recoup some of the money locked up in it. I couldn't bear it if in 3 years time it was worth £4.5k! (Which it will be) and the money it cost me new (£12k) and the mileage I’ve done (+servicing/tax/fuel and insurance) you don’t need to be a...
You have to look closely to see its not a 172 Cup.
I've seen nelson's parked up loads of times down Oak Ave and thought is that another Cup...................oh no it's his 182. Once i've noticed the xenons and reg no.
May have be left over because the Williams was a disgusting amount of money at the time.
I remember seeing an M reg one in 1998 for £11k and dreaming about owning it. lol
