I never liked the gearing in a GTi 1.9 - far too long imo. The 182s gearbox is far more suited to small lanes. Unless youre mi16 has a 1.6 box.

Remember the only car as old as the 205 on NCAP is the Metro and that gets 1/2 a star. To be fair the Mi16 isnt really a real car that left a production line. Its like comparing a Turbo Clio 16v to a Williams. To live with everyday Id say the 182. Plus Im sure a 182 is lighter on the pocket...

Surely a Fabia only needs H rated. ;)

I went for a VTR to a Cup mate. Get a 172 or 182. Unless youre into trackdays

Do think mine works! Although in croydon the cup does run out of road pretty quick. Always some burk pulling out of a side turning

TED43 I think. Have a look on the sticker next to the drivers door. I got the touch up paint from Renault using that number.

Id say a 182 but they do seem to have lots and lots of problems. Not sure why? I have a Cup but Id say the average joe wouldnt be able to tell the difference between that and a mk2 172. The Cup is a little nervious in the wet (which lets face it happens a lot this time of year). The 182...

Why dont you just buy a real 182? There knocking around for £10.5k now. All those mods will cost that anyway.

I had the same mate on a D/C They didnt notice the car in the next lane overtaking me at the time!

Im 60 and find the position poor on a long trip.

Havent you already had a 182 and got a meggy turbo? Some people! ;) Ive have that Megane anyday of the week!

A 172 Cup CC with 182 Manifold

Bit silly not fitting the 172 Cup with the alloy bonnet imo. Thing is meant to be light.

Someone posted some pictures of their car a while ago I think. Didnt like the green colour with the grey plastic headlight surounds on the 182. Would look better with the darker plastic of the 172.

Try to find some to get them trade. Someone I know got Goodyear eagle F1 (GSD3) for £50 each off his dad for his Cup. £200 for the whole car fitted aint bad is it? Surely somewhere like kwikfit would charge £100+ per corner.

Thats piss poor! I keep checking the Cup now to if its leaking.

Try using a mit rather than a sponge

The V6 is a once in a lifetime only car - if you can do it get it!!! Not everybody has the time, money or lifestyle to own one. Good luck

Not all the time. Havent you ever been on the motorway and wondered how people get certain cars to go so fast? Like seeing a mk1 fiesta 1.1 in the fast lane doing 100

French cars! VTR and VTS mean nothing also

Sounds good - I paid that last november for a 172 Cup and you got tons more kit and the good looks to boot.

Is that why you bought a Non Cupped 182? So you could have the fun of cupping it yourself?

I went to fully comp after i got my first year ncb on an escort worth £500. It was only £20 more than tpft though.

New engine of it way for the MINI isnt there?

Photos?

I did a 1.2 8v in my Megane Scenic with 5 people in. lol

Toms normally got quite a lot to say about this topic. Id never buy the VXR new Dave - like any Vauxhall the deprecation will be massive!! My friend just sold his 2000 V6 Vectra for £5k that cost the first owner 25k new!

Few months back a couple of lads in a 1.4 16v had a go at me - from the looks of their face they knew the Cup was gonna destroy them - which it did. They didnt even keep up till 20 let alone 50.
