Well i'm home fella and the favt I see no vts in this section makes me smile! :)
I think by reading your posts that the gti is better than the vts... Although some people still seem to claim it's the same car!
the silver gti I had was easily the most fun I've had in a car since I started...
Why is the place full of so many frp admirerer's! I'm trying to convince myself it's not a good idea!
A unique car that handles better than cars costing 3x's as much vs a french hatch!
:(
Very very surprised by the amount saying FRP!
I honestly think the decision to sway toward a clio is I've got a puma just not and it won't be a big enough change although I know how much fun the FRP will be.
Tbh I'm thinking of leaving the trophy and saving the 1k or so and getting a 182...
I can't find it but it tested FRP Vs integra type R Vs ph1 172.
The car was the 'slowest' there but won the test.
This was all I found.
0-80mph:
ITR: 11.2
172: 12.0
FRP: 13.2
Pembrey:
FRP: 1:13.75
172: 1:15.40
ITR: 1:15.48
Nah it was my 2nd car, bit like Alans pearl black one.
I got the lights off a 172 write off at my work and fired the standard one it before it went to the scrappies! ;)
I would happily retro fit lights into the trophy tbh.
There will be no cups in my drive! xenons are a must on the clio! :)
Thanks for that mate. I do think I would go for a 182 over the 172 unless I want to take 2k off my budget and be happy with a later 172 maybe!
Nah needs to be newer (or an frp) and aren't those group 20 insurance! Get to fook!
I did think about a ctr steering just always felt a bit crap, and never gave me the big grin factor.
Could have been perfect with a few more horses.
Out handles most cars and rang the ring quicker than a FRS mk1. Just let down by poor power.
Most people put the FRS lump into the puma.
FRP 7.9s 0-60 - 126mph - 152bhp
182 6.9 0-60 - 139mph - 180bhp
I know they aren't perfect figures but an idea.
The lump in the Racing puma is just a fettled 1.7 Ali supposed to be 155bhp.
The turinis are not standard no.
1.7i 16V Ford Racing 3d7.9 s126 mph152 bhp
I thought they were most sought after mate. Would you suggest a non cup packed 182 then?
Lols shot of your back seats?
Yes i've heard them! Sound so good it's criminal. Milltek makes it sounds the dogs danglies!
Nah you really have to spend a bit to get anything out them mate, that's why most...
That's a good post mate thank you.
I think eventually the exclusivity and handling would wear off with the FRP and i'd need something just that little bit quicker and i'm sure the 182 could give me b road handling and a bit of pace.
