And dont get any ideas about sticking a set of coilovers on it either...lol

I think we all need to calm down a little.There is going to be problems with any new car and the ammount of gadgets they put in them nowadays.In wolves last week i saw a TT 225 parked up a 1/2 mile from the M54 and it had burnt to a crisp.The whole front end had gone up.Im not saying its not...

That looks like a snow plough:p ian

Out of the small group here with 182s,have you noticed much difference in your insurance premium if say,you had a 172 before. Are the 182s a higher group insurance than 172s? thanks ian

The part i dont understand is that a cup is cheaper to insure than a 172 which i checked out when i bought the car,so how do they say the 182 is dearer although its got the cheaper cars suspension.If i had a cup which had a bigger spoiler on the back than my standard 172 would they not charge...

How do they warrant a £300 tag

I think it was 90 silver ones for the uk market. ian

Direct line £430,im 32 so i suppose that helps a bit. ian

buy a williams with some spare cash from redundancy or sell the 1.2 and buy a williams. Total change needed me thinks ian

After having mine done last year its started again,quietly. ian

I dont quite think they have the same nostalgia as a williams or nsx or 911 Great cars all the same and the fact that they wont be too expensive in the long run means more cars at sensible prices for joe public like me. ian:D

I think they are 6.5 or 7j rims x 16,not to sure on the offset for a valver though sorry,ian:)

Yes and no. The cup was designed as a special car for those who liked it raw,from a 172 point of view they made changes to the suspension and made the track a bit wider and made it lighter so as to knock 1/2 second to 60 and 1 sec to 100 as standard(before you lot start.)They made the glass...

Ask telford mike he did a bit to his after a couple of months of ownership from new i think? ian

Toyo proxes t-1s from http://mytyres.co.ukhttp://mytyres.co.uk £40 each,great grip and not bad in the wet.Best compramise ive found appart from spendiny £70 each on F1s ian

Dont go near them,especially with metalic paint,youll never get the swirls out of your paint. ian

nothing in it really ian;)

But only to a limited few who know what it is.What im saying is the two other models will appeal to a wider spectrum of buyers who may not know the history behind any of the cars but in todays age of gadgets look for the best deal. but i do agree with what you say too in some respects. ian:)

Now now kids,Cars nowadays are safe but youll be interested to know that its all an illusion. Cars are n-cap tested to 40mph at which "they" say you can withstain a near fatal crash at this speed. You would need one of those cars from demolition man the film to survive a 70 mph head on down...

I beg to differ but the cup is on its own because the 182 is only 10 bhp ahead of the 172 and they both have the goodies on board,which to joe public is what counts. We are not all mad petrol sniffers.We do like gadgets. ian:o [Edited by ian 172 on 10 May 2004 at 9:29pm]

From what i can see the cup isnt holding the residual it said it would. I think it has too many variants and because the 182 is out now most people want the new thing which is as fast and has the goodies.IMO ian:o

Well said that man. ian:)

Just been on autotrader and looking for deals on 182s etc etc,and cant help but notice a mass of cups for sale.Theres even two silver ones(90 in uk)there must be 4 pages of them altogether. Anyone feel there may be some deflection to the dark side and these people might be buying a 182 or...

Probs with 4k rattle(now sorted)erm,appart from that very chuffed indeed. ian

Dont do it,it makes our insurance go up ian

ok ill have a 182 with 1.2 suspension please cos according to you everything bar the engine is fluff. its ok having a good engine but unless you have"fluff" to go with it youve got nothing. The suspension has been modified on the 182 and the castor angle is different than a cup and its lower...

Yes brazo it has all this and then you tick a box at the dealership which says cup option£200 and you tick yes.For this you get dark anthracite alloys,bespoke michelin exalto 2 tyres which have a stiffer side wall,a 3mm lower ride hight with an extra 3% further adjustment to the castor angle...
