    HANDLING - coilovered 172 vs std cup

    Been in the demo car for a full day from the dealers...not been on track. But i think the Koni Eibach setup on my car is better for the road (better over poor surfaces) than the trophy set-up (better on smooth surfaces). Compared to the std cup set up both are a massive improvement.

    HANDLING - coilovered 172 vs std cup

    GOOD aftermarket suspension definately improves the handling. Look at the trophy as a perfect example.. On a cup:- Koni dampers / eibach sportlines - Vast improvement for the road. H&R coilovers - probabley best road setup. Bilstiens Coilovers - bit still for the road excellent on track Leda...

    Turbo vs NA - and all that torque...

    People are not racing each other on the road (or shouldnt anyways). On a trackday everyone usually pushes their limits and the speeds are much higher, so it has a lot more potential for disaster.. As said we can only compare driver vs driver not car vs car. Big hp car are not just for show...

    Turbo vs NA - and all that torque...

    You comments are not that valid really, have a day driving both round the track and im sure your opinion of the RS will change. Until then you can only compare driver vs driver not car vs car. The driver of the Focus was not the best to say the least so its not really a fair comparison. I use...

    Turbo vs NA - and all that torque...

    Also agree there is a big gap in peoples abilities on track at the same time. Some events the driving standards are far better than others. My gf gets a bit intimidated sometimes and dosent want to drive get her on the track on her own (no other cars) then she loves it. My recommendation is...

    Cup handling/suspension RUBBISH!

    Car only goes as fast as the driver....... Std cup suspension is very good compared to other car std suspension. But there are great improvements to be had upgrading to H&R / Bilstein / leda's etc. But thats the case with everycar.... Have to say the Clio with sus mods is a very very quick...

    Prospeed exhaust, Insurers say it'll cost a lot...

    SS stealth like K-tec's i wouldnt declare it on a 172. My cup has a Magnex and have declared it for the reason the style has changed (visible). If i owned a 182 then i would not declare it.

    Prospeed exhaust, Insurers say it'll cost a lot...

    Wouldnt tell them as it look like the origional.. Just cause its made from SS why do you pay extra, 90 of cars on the road dont have OEM exhausts (kwickfits arnt std exhausts from the manufacture so they are aftermarket too).. Frankly unless the style has changed then i personally wouldnt...

    182cup quicker than a 172cup !

    BHP is no substitute for a good driver....alls we are talking about is 50kg and 5bhp.. Get some track instruction and you will be a hell of a lot quicker than the above will ever give you.
