Good to see everyone today. Happy with my result, despite using almost a whole tankful to cover 100 miles plus the RR runs, accompanied by the relentless smell of petrol.
208 bhp from a 197 with just a panel filter though, now that's insane, not possible.
;)
Mine has this setup, Sportlines and standard dampers.
Not had it on track yet, but feels absolutely fine on the roads. The progressive nature of the springs is the most noticeable difference to me...they really soak up all the little bumps, but properly firm up when you lean on them a bit.
They'll be good, but only 185 wide...which might help my target of over 190bhp for a non-cammed Cup :approve:
Will still have the standard 205s on the back so will look a bit odd LOL
B****cks. Got a puncture on the rear. Noticed it when I pulled up tonight. Has lost 5psi over the last 5 hrs.
Still coming, but will be on horribly mismatched wheels.
Just to clarify, if you do have the Cup suspension then you have a FF 182 (as in full fat, with both Cup packs fitted).
You also get a normal 182 - same as yours but without the spoiler/splitter or suspension upgrade fitted
Or you could have a 182 Cup - same as yours with the same...
Agreed, but 15 inch track rubber is so much cheaper.
Thanks for the comments, I know it still looks high and that it looked ridiculous before the change, but that's the only downside from stripping 117kgs out of it.
Regardless, it handled fine on track before, and from impressions received...
Well sort of, looks better than it has done for the last 125k miles anyway.
Before
After
A broken spring discovered while having the cambelt/dephaser done necessitated the change, so on a budget went for Eibach Sportlines on the standard dampers. Still sits high but seems to...
That's 15 deposits paid. Only another 5 needed and it's £10 on the day instead of £15.
I've got two more I'm trying to rope in...ask everyone you know!
Not boring...tactical. Kill cam means you have to move each time, anticipate which way they might come back for you, listen for tell-tale signs they're coming blah blah blah.
I love it personally. As said, doing it to whiny anti-camping run'n'gun american brats that call everyone n***er is...
It can be. Especially if they're anti-camping whining little brats who keep coming back to root you out, for you to then b**ch-slap them time and time again.
Don't get lots of kills, don't get a high k/d ratio. But it is so satisfying. And fun.
LOL at the hate in here for the poverty 172 Cup interior.
In terms of what you can see and feel, the ONLY difference is the seat covers. Gadget wise there are a few more 'toys' on other models, but hardly anything that puts them in a different league.
Yup, been planning this one in my head for a while now, so spent a good couple of long days walking around getting all the shots I wanted. Got lucky with a few, like the sideways Jaguar around Madgwick at 3:15.
It's pretty much taken me the last 3 months to edit it all down into something...
Yup, downhill, wet, didn't anticipate the slower van he was gaining on, had nowhere to go except around the van, then he jack-knifed.
F***ing lucky for the car filming it.
LOL, cost to change, a concept lost on so many.
'Yeah, but I got a great f***in' trade in..."
Indeed you did, while paying full sticker price. Well done.
I had an epic moment the other night, late, clear roads, roundabout, being a dick. Thought I was going to hit the kerb. It came back just in time. Phew tbh.
There are huge advantages...like having a heavily modded 172 Cup and getting fully comp insurance for £270 :approve:
I'm easy date wise. Seperate thread for suggestions?
