Rubbish. It's a road car, on road car suspension. A proper track car won't be much use on road, but a different league on track. Ask Matt how quickly that pesky 172 disappeared from the 200 on track. You seem to have missed the bit where he's talking about a 'track car'. A 200 will be a better...

Hankook V12 evo. As an all rounder, they are in a different league to Toyo/Parada's. And in general, Porsche drivers are more show than go ;).

No-one has said it's a problem, just that the cable throttle is better.

If you can't feel the difference, fair enough. But it's there.

Having own both, there's a big difference. Feel free to come and try mine.

Ph1 is the proper lightweight edition.

Def sounds like lambda.

182cup has a different wheel. No thumb grips, smaller diameter (slightly) and the rim is thinner.

A 182FF has that as well.

Silver wheels imo. Anthracite has been done to death.

As far as the 197's go, I wouldn't touch a cup, purely because of the reduced adjustment in the driving position.

Correct. That's why we hear about more 172's crashing over winter than cups. Hang on.......

Nonsense! It's actually smaller than a standard 182 wheel, and doesn't melt. Might not look as pretty (we all know you hard-core lot mostly purchased for the pretty blue;)), but works better.

Tell you whats half hearted. Dropping ABS but leaving in airbags:o.

You don't miss out on anything worth having.

Worth a read. http://www.ridedrive.co.uk/tipoffs01.htm

They probably haven't made an opinion, merely jumped on the bandwagon. I ended up going for a cup, as the 1*2 xenons are poor (uprated bulbs are actually brighter), the climate doesn't work well (and you still get AC), and the autowipers are terrible.

Wrong.

Equipment wise, a ph1 is identical to a Trophy (bar cruise/tc).

I'm on my 5th, never had one as bad as that.

Could be that an aftermarket HU was fitted, and they've just not connected the renault unit up correctly. 2 bent bits of coat hanger will get the HU out.

Is it the standard headunit?

You could sell your car, get a ph1 with plenty work done to it, and have money left over.

Doesn't really matter, you'll never get near them if you like your car.

A standard 200 will not be am awesome track car. It will be good, for a road car. But will not compare to a dedicated track car, not even close.

A wee hairdressers car. Silver eunos, 1.8, torsen diff. Then a turbo to go with it;).

Possibly swapping it this week.

Think Fred's made 190bhp. Ditched power steering, AC (cup engine).

Try lambda 1st.

Helps that I've got the ARB, the rear's set stiff, toe out on the front. Just darts in.
