you'd be suprised, imo its only peeps who use the internet who know about these deals, for example my dad wouldn't lol. Same with the 225 megane, dealers have them up for near 20k...

it was a joke matey, if that was a crashed CUP, the first thing peeps on here say is "its due to NO ABS being fitted" lol........;)

rrp on a 182 was circa 15 k!!!!

tidy :cool: but what is a 172 ff :S Its a mk2 phase 2 172, A FF was cliosport speak for a 182 with cup options ;)

so much for ABS eh?! ;)

hmmmmm not on our shape there isnt, i'm not convinced, i thought the conversion had to be declared on the v5 too......

so why you paying 1.2 tax? cant be on the v5?

just noticed your in cheshire ;)

are these cars insured as modded, had an engineers report, and a change on the log book then?! :eek: tut tut......

mine was earsplitting with a decat :( looked nice though!

different strokes for different blokes eh? ;) I drove my cup a after jumping out of the ctr, and it 'felt' better at 5k. Maybe i need another drive, as a CTR might be the CUPS replacement come summer. Speed wise i know they are same, but with CTR's being thirsty for oil, and being smoked out...

i've been thinking about it forever...... one day i'm for them, then the next against! When i'm in the against mood i think the money will be better spent on a CTR or something lol

Annoying i'd say ;) lol, the drone from my decatted prospeed drove me mad!!! I really want a zorst for mine. Think a ktec mk2 stealth maybe the answer...... Nobody makes a decent 172 exhaust :(

Exactly the same opinion, all these write ups you read about the v-tec kick. Drove my mates ctr (spoon cat back exhaust and some filter) and i was left underwhelmed. All noise. The 5k in my cup felt alots more agressive. I do like the ctr, but the change over is all hype imo. geraboox is sweet...

^ WTF?! did that make any sense lol?!

i'm running a de cat with standard system, no extra noise imo but it feels better. Every little helps ;). Oh and my prospeed and de cat was LOUD, had to get rid!!!

they do sound nice mind (not too loud like alot out there are), but if you have a mk2 phase 2 a 6x4 oval is a big NO imo.

they do a little, and i mean hardly any. Well worth it imo :)

is it me or i have read this right, sounds like its a fitter/hanger problem, and not the actual exhaust......

the pads are a major tight fit when new, we had to grind some off the ends to make them fit........ maybe they are binding? did you remove enough form the back plate? Also, the caliper sliders can stick too....

notice how the cu.......:quiet: ;) oh soz, yes good cars :cool:

thats right, keep it wound down as the rear doesn't drop much ;) tbh they seem to be over complex compared to other rear adjusters

keep the alloys, lower it yes, but ditch those cheap plastic gash lights..... NOW! oh and welcome ;)

Not profit obviously, but some people just leave them on the cars, and sell them for say a standard cup price as mods dont increase value.... where's if you split them you will make some money back.

raped lol. I bought mine for 7.5 k in 2004!!! with 30k and a yrs warranty left.

If its split you can, all my mods are bolt on, keeping standard bits, then when i'm done, i turn the car back to standard. I made nearly 1k off bits from my old punto turbo, intercoolers, chips exhausts etc

thats the exact spec i'd have love it :) as said above it needs a 172 cup stylee roof spoiler, as the cup racer option on these is abit ott imo also liking the diffuser too hell i just want it ........... ok!!!!

wouldnt have thought so..... you can only really hear it in the car, (can be hard to trace mind) outside its not as noticable.

me too!!! that was worse as its in the drivers side. 172 posts by the way^^^ lol

Cambelts arent worth scrimping on, aux belt gets changed on mine @ 35k, and got the cambelt done at 50... no messing then, not worth it. I always get mine done early for this reason, 5 yrs is a long time.........
