hehe - serious question here tho... 182 isnt faster than Cup is it??.... or is it???? surely its not - i dont know stats and cant be arsed to look .. drinking milk Nice

only if you change yours to "Im a firestarter, twisted Firestarter" ;)

Try listen to a set of Alpine SPX-137As - granted not far off treble the price but wow...

Actually Not_For_Long youve reminded me... When i told my old man i was getting a clio i think he thought i was turning gay! thinking "you dont want one of those clio things, they are all girls cars - your calibra is a proper mans car, and fantastic inside"... he saw the clio when i bought it...

Howdy - id (personnally) definitely, no questions asked swap it for the cup.. 2 mates have 172s and both want my cup(ones looking at another cup at the weekend to p/ex). After driving those two i would never dream of swapping as they seem so different - more of a hot hatch than a super/crazy...

it was in this weeks Sunday Times sonny...

My director at work told me today buddy... heard it on news or something, OR it "could" have been her sister who is a lawyer telling her after talking about my car being in reno right now under warrenty being sorted.. ill try find out how she knew, ill txt now...

It wont matter after may 1st (i think) anyway - new legislation of fair trading means ANY garage can do warrenty work and NOT just the car companies dealers... woo!... Nice

howdy yall... on the weight subject its been doing my head in lately too.. have a cup but also want a decent sound system in it.. this weighs 19kgs total which is around 3 stone.. So ive figured that if i go down to 11stone in weight then ill be fine :) - hmm.. im a kipper 63" so may look a...

09/02 - 25k - and havent had it long mate

yeh i will mate, thanks.. But surely lowering doesnt effect this, i know logically there could be a case.. but if there was a link then we would see far more of this problem on here and ive never seen it once so far....

hmm k.. i have the standard springs if it comes to that i spose - could just get it back to garage for originals put back on then off to another dealer eh? :(

hi all... if the car is lowered 30mm and taken to reno to fix f**ked power steering will they refuse to do it via the warranty due to it being lowered? Thanks everyone

Just bought some Alpines SPX137As yesterday, 13cm, for 159 new. extremely good components normal price of around 250/300.. the cross overs are ridiculously big though!!!

yeh i totally agree bambam.. Just got the old scales out and tested the total weight... All comes to 19KGs - Probably going to be 17/18ish as im taking the rear components out all together - so alll good.. I suppose it would make a noticable difference if i had say 2 big amps, and 2 or 3 boxed...

Well I have been looking for the past couple of weeks, my first plan was absolute pants looking back on it now!.. i feel ive gone for quite good quality stuff.. then it was about a weeks worth of haggling at all sorts of different shops to get the price down... Just picked it all up today and...

Hehe, no replies from him for a few hours.. aww bambam, the poor kids probably gone to slit his wrists ;) Nice

cheers son.. do you know how much all parties weigh though? including the original cup wheels? nice

thanks buddy, will let you know how i get on... think im gonna have to loose a stone or two to compromise for the slight weight increase! hehe...

Hi all, Anyone know the weight of a Cup(Turini) wheel? - Are there any other wheels out there which are considerably lighter but look very similar and same size? I think each wheel is about 6.8Kgs anyway so they are already lightweight, so the lightest possible wheel i would find would be...

howdy, cheers all for helping with my issues regarding choosing decent parts for my install... and bambam, thx, got your PM too... appreciated... so what ive gone for is this, picking up tomorrow.. Components: Alpine SPX137A (250/300 quid - but getting them from a special place :) ) AMP: DEI...

4hrs and not 1 reply? - hmm - is this really an ICE forum? or are my mastermind-esk questions simply just to hard to answer? :devilish: - seriously now though, are there any other well known forums which specialise in car audio? kinda need help - ill have a search but surely ill get millions of...

Slayer, i am thinking of getting Focals or Kappas, but a mate said the new Alpine SPX137As are superb - i realise these arent what your talking about, but is there any chance you(or anyone) know these are like?!? - Ive looked them up and they are currently going for between 250 and 300 quid...

hi all - im asking questions all the time about what im getting for the motor, sorry if im being a pain in the @rse!. Anyway, i posted a thread the other day and came to the conclusion (thanks Bambam) of getting: Focal Polyglass OR Infinity Kappa Components / Genesis Profile 4 sub / and a 10"...

"hey ya" - Is it best to go for: a) 4channel amp to power everything - front components and 1 sub? OR b) 2 channel amp for the comps AND a "1 channel" amp for the sub? Or doesnt it matter?? Nice

great k.. so the plan is.. Focals up front, genesis profile 4, and CM310 sub in sealed maybe ported box.... all im really adding weight wise to the car is the amp and the sub+box... bout 13kgs i reckon... the advantages of a great system far outweigh the loss of what .1/.2 secs 0-60?! -...

yeh nice one thx.. im assuming it would be too expensive to go "diamond" all round then?? or do they only make subs...? oh you helped me in my other recent thread too, thx.. but with the 10" diamond should i go for ported or non?...

bambam, thats mental you should say that about the sub, just today a guy i know and consider the "guru" of car audio suggested exactly the same make, model and size sub.. Saying he used to use JL stuff, but now Diamond Audio as it seems very good... At the time i was suspicious of his...

nice, k, cheers davidol and evil john.... not being funny but i want a 4 channeler and dont know what Power out put i should go for.. or even what is ok and good etc!!. dont say "the higher the better!" lol... something for about 200 quid..also, is (probably not) an amp just going to give out...

haha.. hmm... can never tell if sarcasm on here :) - well what if i got a well ported 5! that could be a 10! :) or how about a well ported 12!.. wow you could sell your secret and make millions! :) or are you being serious? lol :confused: nice
