27, full no claims and 3 points. Paying £560 for my cup.

Anyone know of the extra costs to my premium if I was to claim for a new front bumper on my cup? Ive aquired quite a few stone hits and what looks to be cats scratching away! Its not a major problem but would be nice to have a tidy nose. Do the premiums go up a lot?

The headlamp washer jet covers definately need to be colour coded to.

Lovely colour but needs the dark wheels to compliment it IMO.

^^^^very true indeed. Ive heard bluepeter have DIY instructions on their website!

I dont have a missus! How do I get one?

WTF?! If I remember correctly, my old focus had almost as hard shocks and springs as my cup, if not they felt better so what are you on? I think you might be quite dissapointed when you get your RACING blue 182.

mine was about £150!

I got one of the older sony MD head units and its not bad but Im not sub & amp man so just run the head unit. The new ones are a bit too bling for my liking.

It would be nit-picking I reckon but probably the Eibach route IMO.

I got 12k from my first set of contis and 6-7k from the second front set, the original rears could have done 20k easy. If you dont plan to swap brand then you might aswell leave the rears where they are. Cups are so light at the rear theyll never wear out. Also had F1s on briefly and Im sure...

^^^ valid point and if im honest look better aswell.

Maybe the yokohamas, not sure about the real spec, A5??. A few have them in here.

I had them on my cup and didnt like them. They are a lot stickier than the contis but I found quite a bit of side movement from the rear especially under heavy braking and faster driving. I got them for 77 quid each fitted and the guy came to the door. Id imagine they wear out a lot faster...

Quote: Originally posted by eves on 23 August 2004 i know it states the cup has a wider track is it noticeable? Maybe slightly to drive but I can notice it visually which is probably why a standard 172 looks lower?

Personal to the driver at the end of the day I think. I drove both but went for the cup as I like the more unique appeal and Im a fan of the more basic/raw type aswell. I see my cup as an elise with a roof if that makes sense?! Plus I only payed £12200 brand new for mine 2 xmas ago so bit of a...

They were apparently made because of the launch of the silver playstation who sponsor the Renault rally team, so Jeremy Townsend told me once.

I think EVO timed it slightly quicker (point of a natts chuff!!) and they said it was better to drive... ...cups rule though LOL.

Anyone had or know when the pics from the r/sport trackday will come through?

Got a cup and tried removing the rear seats but cant seem to disconnect the central bit?? any tips welcome, want to be light as posssible for tommorow at bedford.

Mine got better after about 3000 & 20000-22000 miles, loosened up nicely. Must say though, and this is sad, I stall mine all the time. Not the easiest or best clutch/biting point Ive come accross IMO.

Ive got that article at home, remember it well.

alright steve, its me...?!

The reason I ask is that over the past few months a guy has been coming round my road in a Y plate mk1 172 covered in decals one of which is Mark Fish Motorsport. Theres a chequered flag, Autosport mag, OZ, Michelin and a few more. Doesnt look too bad, got OZ super Ts, body kit, Magnex exhaust...

If I could Id go back to the contis again, Ive had GS-D3s all round and not convinced by them...so if anyone wants 4 at a good price then let me know??

Mine has one

Forgot to say, I will pay you haha.

Dont suppose theres anyone in the Herts/Essex/Beds area that knows how to change springs on a cup is there? Im extremely reluctant to pay 80-100 snots for just the work. I appreciate its not a quick or easy job but surely theres a like minded petrol head out there that wouldnt mind helping me...

Im geeting the Eibachs now and they dont do them if Im right? Do you know what they charge for just spring fitting?
