Cheers mate..Il take a side on pic when i get a chance.To be honest im going to raise her up a touch at the front as im getting some rubing.Shes a little too low.
Why?? Because the standard cup interior looks w**k and my own seats have a tear in them..the 172 interior isnt amazing but looks nicer and its hardly going to make the car any slower on the road with the extra few kg's.
Picked up myself a full interior from a 172 to throw into the cup..Is this as straight foward as i think it is or is there any issues i can expect?
Thanks in advance
Im going to hire mine up at the front..Im rubbing on the actual underside of the arch directly above the tyre..Its a solid bit of the arch that sticks out a bit so cannot be moved or bent.Im not even that low
A few of my old and current motors.Some nice,some terrible :)

Thinking of selling my 172 cup suspension.car has 89k on it so im not sure if they are the original ones or if they have been replaced over the years but they are working great.ball park figure on what they are worth? Also can they be fitted to non cup models? I have a couple of non cup owners...
Cheers mate..Think they were about 300 pound mate..To be honest i wouldnt buy them if i was keeping them long term..They are ok on smooth road but through in a few bumps and they arent the best..Maybe save a few more quick and buy a decent set.
Got my wheels refurbed in anthracite and fitted Ktec coilovers..
Wont be keeping the coilovers as i plan to upgrade to H&R's..Ktecs are far too sort but i knew that buying them.I just wanted the car a bit lower for now :)
Also painted the calipers yellow..Not to everyones taste but i like the...
Right guys as per my other thread,im looking at getting a new catback..was loking at Ktec but hearing mixed reports..
Theres a place not too far from me that can custom make magnaflow exhausts..Would this be worth a look? Ive heard them mentioned in the US alot but im not sure if they are any...
Yeah i just looked at there website.Im based in Ireland so whatever i get il have to get shipped over.
Actually just double checked on the site and it gives a price of 330 then when you click to expand the exhaust it says 390??
Besides that im just wondering are they actually a good exhaust...
Well my exhaust is on its last legs so ive convinced the GF to get me a new catback for christmas..I was looking at the Ktec recessed system which at 390 pound isnt cheap but are they worth the money or are the better options for the money?? Reason i liked that particular exhaust is the look of...
Im just quoting what it said in the mag..Not my figures..
So my completely standard cup 172bhp kept up with a JCW which are 210bhp approx...I reckon with 195bhp in the cup it would certainly trouble a mapped cooper even at 240bhp..Not saying it would stay with it easy but id say it wouldnt be...
Ive an autocar mag from 2002 that i got off a mate the other day..Has the clio cup v cooper s when they both came out..
Il give you a couple of quotes :)
''The clio is-and im not exaggerating when i say this-miles faster than the mini''
50-70mph times were recorded at 13.3secs Mini and...
Cheers for the replies guys..Im thinking of getting coilovers too as i want the car sitting nice and low but not silly on the floor low..Just think the sportline springs drop isnt great looking..Il be going for a decent brand.Was loking at H&Rs.Heard good things about them
Well guys just back from a blast with the two coopers and im glad to report that there was hardly anything in it at all between the 3 cars.I found it handy enough to keep with them to be honest from standing starts and rolling up to about 125mph(On a private track of course)
The JCW has a decat...
meeting up with a couple of mates tomorrow for a blast..2 mini coopers one an normal S with pulleys and a few other bits running around 200bhp and the other a standard JCW...How far behind and i likely to be lol
Not expecting to be quiker obviously but hoping the little cup will do me proud :)...
