I am not really into mods but fancy whacking in the green panel filter in my cup which I believe sounds better and adds the odd pony.
Question: Can this air filter simply be dropped in plug and play style or does it need adjsutment. Can the old one be replaced for ahem insurance purposes;)...
Is it that time of the month again for the old cup vs 172/ I aint recovered from the last one yet!
It must be that time of the month as there is a scooby vs cup thread in drivig tales that is just screaming out to be locked!
Just set her straight and tell her the cup is actually quicker albeit by a tiny margin!
Think about it logically, 2 cars exactly the same 1 has a power to weight ratio of 167 (182) and one has a power to weight ratio of 169 bhp per ton. The new rubber on the 182s allows more grip for a...

Your sounding like a cup owner
Cheers 172cup_nut
Ditto!
Extreme, if the 182 is your only car then I can see why you would want to swap from a cup as it has more luxuries, and abs which is better for road use but not track. I am afraid you and anyone else on here are dissilusioning yourselves if you think its faster than a cup!
I agree with you extreme, that was a bit tight seeing as the 172 and 182 are exacytly the same,
Not so sure about the 182 being faster though!
cup 0-60 6.2 (with exaltos;)) 0-100 16.9
182 0-60 6.3 (with exaltos;))0-100 17
Here are some pics, I have made some mods since ie put in silver indicators, and thinking about putting some blue under car led strobing neons, will have to post them pics when done.

Nicky B, regardless of the capabilities of your car and your own driving competency (for arguments sake I am assuming its high:D) You cannot always take others into account, for example they may not be expecting you to travel at such speeds and therefore misjudge your speed. It has been proven...
Police dont use radar anymore and a road angel or B2 willpick up gatsos using GPS and also have a laser detector. Road angel should set you back £320 (see radargirl.com) aand then find a price matching company who will give a further £5 off!
Plastered our downstairs toilet yesterday, digging a new pond today! Occasionay looked at the cup in the garage that never gets driven!!
Is anyone else to busy to drive their cars?
The cup is normally pitted against CTR, LCR or imprezza WRX so why put it against obviously lesser competition?
I can keep up with VTSs (in straight line in my mk 4 golf gti turbo!). Get hammered by CTRs though!!
Keeping the cup but then why would I swap it for a 172 with a performance exaust? Renault must be pissing themsleves laughing at all this rivalry over the same car!
Alternativly keep your 172, mod the suspension and engine to achieve an extra 10bhp and buy a 172 rear valence and exhaust...
Totally agree with you Dave, I dont really want to get into a big row as no car could smoke each other, but if you had two cars exactly the same, same shape same tyres and but with differing power to weight ratios............ then I need go no further!
Perhaps be getting some Exalto 2s then;)
Dave 182 the fact is they are all exactly the same cars with differing power to weight ratios, if the std michelins are better then what 0-60 will the car with the highest power to weight ratio achieve?
172 cup and 182 are exactly the same cars but with the cup having a slightly better power to weight ratio, it is therefore impossible for 182 to be faster!
As stated before the 182 in the test had grippier tyres on the front!
