If everybody did that then how would you ever get that cup for 3K, because it would never have been sold. The 197 has many advantages over the 172 cup, 172 cups are great cars don't get me wrong, but the 197 is brand new, has all the mod cons and will be comfortabely as fast round a track...

KW V2's I'd go for personally from what i've read on here. However they are a lot of cash, V1's are a fair chunk cheaper but don't have adjustable damping.

Get it RR'd to see what power its putting out then go from there. A guy on here had a 172 cup that was only putting out around 138bhp. I can't remember exactly what was wrong with it but he got it back up to 170bhp easily, was something simple iirc.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Where's the trackday jord? What tyres are you going to be using? Prada's you had on last time wasn't it, the ones that caused you your problems at oulton in the wet.

Love S2000's, this is a minter. 8500rpm limiter isnt it?

PH1 FTW.

Cars stunning tbh mate. Weather looks great too.

He didn't mention yellow. He wants an Inferno Megane 225

You seem mightily impressed with it mate. I haven't driven one, or any RS for that matter, but just getting a lift in one you can instantly tell the difference. At low speeds even they just seem to grip solidly and there isn't much body roll atall. Different world to a 1.2 tbh. I can't...

I fail to see how you can blame the car tbh.....

Some skills with the camera. Realy nice motor this, loving the engine mods too.

Very foggy isnt it ;) Lots of potential in the car though mate, good decision with the 1.4 16v wish I had that 25bhp more at times.

With lime for extra win :approve:

I'd get a set of h&r's and save the rest towards exhaust etc. Its funny how people on here say don't mod save the money etc yet will mod there own car and enjoy doing so....

Give the carbon one a go. They look brilliant, just an expensive mistake if you hit a kerb again. This is the reason why a lot of cup packed 182's are missing the splitter, they get broken and not replaced.

Two mint cars there. Always wanted to drive a FRST and a Vee, your a lucky guy.

lol @ dog chrewing.

Yeh its bad, even worse when you think the PH2 172 had them as standard and that was 8 years ago when they came out.

Bloody hell that 5 looked scary with the push rod 1.4. Will be epic with a ITB'd 2.0 Did you drive the 5 all the way to bristol?

Sorry to see mate, hope it gets sorted as cheaply as possible and back to its best.

I love this car, the best part for me is it just looks like a completely standard mint condition car. The cruise control is a welcome addition aswell, should have been standard on all ph2 172's imo not just the late ones.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Thats a proper cage. This car is going to be another epic car Jord. Can't wait to see it complete.

YS for me too. Why does fitting a decat cause flat spots? Usually they make the car more free revving etc, could a remap not sort out the flat spots.

Take it we're on about 172's then? The milltek has a gash backbox though, the 182 milltek is a good system though.

Tbh i'm looking forward to seeing f0xy's MK1 finished. If he goes all the way with ITB's etc eventually then it gets my vote. I would also sell one of my lungs for barrons Ph1 its epic.

Not a fan of them. Making a 1250kg hot hatch even heavier doesn't make sence to me, if you want a luxury car you don't buy a hot hatch imo.

However being serious there are too many to mention. Some seriously nice cars on here.

Mine because its the quickest. Might only be a 1.2 but i've removed the B pillar trim and N/S 16V bullet, they're in the boot so its light. Easily beats 1*2's when I have the back seats down.

Ph1 and no debt FTW tbh! Its what my plan is in the future.

182 with cup packs is regarded as the best all rounder. Ph1 172's are a little old for some. 172 Cups and Trophy's are known as the best drivers cars. The normal 172 is known to some as being too soft and not focused enough however I haven't driven one so couldn't comment, however with...
