Cos im going too fast too see!
It didnt look like the same guy as he didnt have any glasses but I could be wrong. He's now added an aftermarket exhaust to it.
Talking about being too fast my bro has just picked up a brand new gsxr 600 in blue and white. So you should hear/see that riding...
My cd player is knackered too, it makes a nice rattling sound when it tries to read the cd, but I havent managed to get it changed yet. My car makes a noise when the steering is on full lock to the right but Ive heard thats a issue with the top mounts of the suspension needing ground down. From...
I went up to aviemore a couple of weeks ago the roads are great up there. Just be careful with the speed cameras on the A9!
I havent modded my cup yet but Im quite tempted, some coilovers first to lower it, 182 cup tyres which are slightly wider, better brakes and some engine mods as well...
I had just washed my car the day b4 but yet again its manky! Nice 182 you have there! Is it completely std? Any planned mods? Ive just had a look and I might be able to make the date for the roadtrip. Sounds like a good day.
Cheers

I dont think it will cost you too much less. Maybe up to a grand on a similar f/f car. Or it might be more as it is the special lightweight version! Depends on the sellers view. And remember that the 172 cup is the lightest out of all the varients of 172/182/trophy. ;)
I'll try and get a...
Megane if you have a family, clio if you dont. More fun!
Oh and my mum is now wanting the focus st.
Think she likes the orange colour more than the car! Argh!
There are a few differences. First there was a ltd edition 172 cup in silver which had climate control. There are a couple of them on here. The rest of them came in special blue. (Mondial I think). The cups have a wider track, lowered suspension (not by much), no air con to save weight, added...
As long as you are careful then your cup will survive the winter. Oh and that applies to v6's as I've heard some nasty stories about some of them recently.
The ride height on it is too high IMO. Its also missing a front splitter which makes the front look too high off the ground. I'll bet you that when the cup version comes out it will have a lower front splitter, rear wing as well as the venturi, and different alloys with less weight.
If i was...
I'd say the cup is more snappy than the f/f 172 but thats what gives me the extra buzz when driving it. Round a track with the same driver it would be faster but like you said on a road there wouldnt be anything in it. Up to 1/2 sec quicker to 60mph but again it depends on the driver and the...
Numbnuts eh? ;) I've had my car for just over 2 years and havent had a scratch! Its about being sensible on the road and driving to the conditions!
