Quote: Originally posted by VX-Tony on 21 January 2005 Good point James, if you are a big person then the vx220 may not be very suitable. My 6ft 6 giant mate could get into it fine. fair play they are a bit tricky to climb in and out of especially with the roof one but lets face it...roof...

trust me mate when youre following a caterham at full chat you dont think that:D and especially when you hold onto their arse. pure driving thrills IMO. [Edited by CHRIS172CUP on 1/21/2005 10:53:18 AM] You lucky f**ker tony!

As said above, both quite different. Id personally go for the VX, loads of fun. My mate used to have a N/A one and it was great, even the service from vauxhall was good. Theyre very useable for day to day driving to, an easier clutch to use than my cup thats for sure. As for wow factor, youll...

Cheers mate, I thought it wasnt as easy at it should be.

Do I need any documents to get them if I pop down to Halfords?

bad timing, changed mine all round not long ago otherwise youd have a cheque on the way as we speak:(

sh*t, i better watch how i drive the new A10 stretch from now on:confused:

According to the read-out im doing 34-38 mpg and I can get about 340 from a tank! If I drive it like I stole it then I can get it down to 30mpg, not easy on these greasy roads though.

:(

The was athread up the other day with part nos. and prices for it all. The mess costs silly money for what it is. [Edited by CHRIS172CUP on 1/18/2005 9:27:01 AM] Oh and as a rough guide, a new rear bumper costs £650ish, painted, fitted etc!

^^^ thats the key factor i think. I need more distance between the pedals rather than arm length.

apparently the 172 cup has a lower driving position than the standard 172.

Im only 510 and think its a bit high and the steering wheel is too bus like IMO. Should face the driver more.

stevoversteer, the seats arent that crappy, think theyre the same underneath as the leather options, I find mine well supported but theyre too high (as every car mag has moaned at). But a cup was released for a purpose and is tracked honed. Mine will be getting the yozza treatment soon...

Try keying it up a bit with a cloth, you might be able to rub it out a bit depending on how deep youve gone (slight inuendo). Mine went shiny so I got some window cleaner on them and now they are fine.

Ive driven both the cup and standard which are pretty similar, the cup just feels a little lighter but it might be psychological?! Not yet a mk1 or 182 but I love the look of the mk1 more than the mk2. Why not just put the money towards bits for your mk1?

lol at the rear bumper cost though. The bodyshop that fitted anew one to mine charged 360 for the bumper. Thank god it was an insurance job (not my fault).
