    FAO Those interested in AWT Inlets Group-Buy

    Perhaps you could re-consider the price so that it was economically viable (you do run a business after-all) but still a good saving on the normal deal ... that would be better than potentially not doing it at all :)

    Honest opinions (how bad is the build quality)

    My opinion with French cars is that 'if its still rattling, it hasnt fallen off yet' which is a good thing :) Tbh, my cup doesnt rattle much on 72k, its the blooming Pioneer cd player that needs to be filled with cotton wool to stop it buzzing :S

    New Brakes Options......advice required....

    I have a 172 cup and use: Front - Brembo HC, DS2500 Rear - standard Also have Goodridge braided lines with Castrol Response Super Dot 4 fluid. 5.1 is too extreme for me as it needs to be changed very often due to water absorbtion. Very good kit (survived 11 laps of the ring quite happily)...

    Does anyone else get killer torque steer from their 172+?

    Some driving ability? :rasp: They dont torque steer that badly at all lol, if its wet or the road is naff, try taking off the lead boots :)

    Dangerous Immobiliser issue?!!

    Had a little problem on the M4 earlier on, stuck in traffic for about half an hour and the revs drop suddenly and the car stalls. Wouldnt re-start and so had to push it onto the hard shoulder-from the outside lane, up a hill! Engine was turning over fine, but simply wouldnt catch ... ended up...

    Oopsy, looks like the cup won some Cobra Daytona's on ebay last night, will post some pics when ive got round to fitting them ;)

    Declaring different make of tyres?

    Heres a thought, insurance companies always bang on about declaring new modifications, etc (as does everyone on here), even down to things like DS2500, Brembo HC's and braided lines - that look exactly the same as the originals & could quite easily be fitted perfectly innocently as like for like...

    My 172 Cup Story

    You love it lol :rasp: Re: the AST's, waay too expensive for a car worth less than £4k lol, better off buying an evo and spending a grand on fuel tbh. Been contemplating selling up and getting something else this week, ie test drove an FN2 CTR on Sat, but thinking im too attached to the...

    My 172 Cup Story

    Just a little overview of my cups life so far, not as modified as most peoples on here tbh, but probably used far more!! Picked up from Martins Renault, Basingstoke on 12th Feb 2008, with 52k on the clock. Somehow managed to get the price down to £4,995 inc. 2 new tyres, aux belt change...

    Take my brothers ST?

    Id take the ST tbh, with those mods it'll prob be pushing 170-175bhp anyway ... they look stunning when dropped on coilovers as well :cool:

    RS6 Gone now back in a Evo

    Umm, i have a cup :rolleyes: im a huge fan of Evo's, a friend has a 400bhp FQ300, slightly lowered on 18" Turinis and its stunning ... maybe its because ive never been into bodywork, would rather make it go faster ;) Cut slicks are what you need, trust me - Ring + FQ300 + Pilot Sport Cups +...

    RS6 Gone now back in a Evo

    I can understand why you'd want rid of the RS6 as it was an Audi from the 'lack of any feedback whatsoever' generation ... but unless your doing some heavy 're-standardising' of that Evos bodywork, i cant understand why you'd want to drive something that, in that guise, looks like a chavs wet...

    Heres a suggestion: Drive both. Buy the one you prefer.

    My 172 Cup

    Why not save the money from the re-furb, sell the turbines and buy some coilovers instead of springs then :rasp: tbh i prefer them when they look totally standard, like mine :)

    fk coilovers Highsport vs Konigsport

    Hmmm, that would suggest that Highsports would be pants on the 'ring, which is essentially the only track i drive on at the mo .... that, combined with the fact i do 30k a year, may suggest i need to spend the extra
