172 still better than the cup in many respects

ABS is good at getting you out of the sh8*t in near accident situations...last week behind a punto going onto a roundabout, the punto driven in front stamped on the anchors because a car to her right decided to join onto the roundabout.

I am happy to race cups on the track in my 172 :cool:

This cup / 172 debate has been going for ages. I bought the 172 because i wanted decent seats, xenon headlights and climate control which i use daily...it was hot a couple of weeks ago, I was in a traffic jam , outside was in the 70s and inside was a cool 16 degrees, I use the aircon/climate...

Goto machine mart and buy a reverse threading socket...it looks like a cone shape....you tighten it on in an anti-clockwise fashion, it tightens the socket on the locking wheel nut and it should loosen the wheel nut at the same time....this socket is made by Snap-On...Check to see socket has...

lets be clear Cup drivers think they are urban worriers without enough cash to upgrade to a 172. 172 mk1 looks like a jelly mould 172 mk2 looks better and .3 slower than cup williams and 16v are rapidly max powered results in performance depends on the drivers etc
