36k service done. Paid £8k for it a year ago and the cost of the plate, exhaust, brakes etc add up to about 2 grands worth of receipts. £6k seems a bit cheap but I guess it's only worth what someone is willing to pay so somewhere between £6,000 and £6,300 will have to do. ta

Thinking about selling the Cup, details below; 52 reg but now got J20 CUP on it 36k miles FSH with warranty from the dealer new front discs pads & calipers from Reno, new rear drilled & grooved EBC discs + greenstuff pads & calipers all new Proxes Custom made Powerflow SS exhaust with...

Yes mate that's me. Don't remember being cut up by anyone although I'm pretty laid back so wouldn't have stressed me out (MY ARSE!!!!!!) What car was it the b*stard!?!? ;)

Mine pulls to the left but I just thought it was a bit of torque steer? Bit worried now!

Have got an aftermarket exhaust but it's coming through the bumper so don't think it will be affected. If 40mm is the way to go then that's what I shall do! Thanks again everyone

Met up with Tim from Chester the other week and his Cup is lowered 40mm on Apex springs. Mine looks like a bloody monster truck next to his so need to get it lowered. The problem is I sometimes have been known to take someone in the back and there's usaully a set of golf clubs in the boot! Will...

Any idea what the plate was like?

Tesco do a 99ron Super unleaded which is actually better than Optimax (98 I think!?) so if you really wanna treat her, give her the Tesco Super stuff

Nice one cheers. Any make you'd recommend?

guess that's front and back yeah?

Anyone know the biggest speakers I can get in the front & back without having to modify anything? + any particular recommendations??

Try William (Bill) Rutter on that industrial estate near MFI. Roundabout before MFI (coming from Mark Rutherford school way), go right, follow it along for a bit then right again and it's down the bottom past the Ford place. Used to take my 106 Rallye & RS Turbo there. Good bunch of guys.

Good guess! Got a couple of options, one of which is a non-cup, and seeing as I know feck all about engines etc. I prefer to check with you guys before forking out the £££s

Can anyone tell me for sure whether there is the slightest bit of difference between a 172 airbox and a Cup 172 airbox??? I know it's probably a bit of a stupid question!:S

something like £1,600 fully comp for 172 Cup, 2 yrs NCB, 22 yrs old (Comes from the fact that after the test drive I just said 'yes' and then realised I had no idea what the insurance was lol!....worth it in the end!)

Anyone know where I can get hold of an airbox, brand new or 2nd hand (like websites etc.) Also, do I fit one of these ITG panels in when I get it, or am I talking nonsense again???

Right well I guess that's sorted then. If standard is good enough for Burt, then it's good enough for me. Just gotta find a standard box now...........oh joy!

Brake fluid. Same thing happened to me on my private test track (M56) at the same speed going round a "moderate" corner. Made a bloody loud bang as well, thought I'd killed her!!

Did the same thing and Reno listed it as URGENT in the 25 point safety inspection, apparently overfilling is a bad as having hardly any oil at all. Check what the right amount is and if needs be defo drain some out

Keep hearing people say that having the standard airbox is better than an induction kit? How and why is that then??

Have the Cup mats gone now? The more I see them the more I want them!!

Got uprated components in the front, 200w amp and bloody awful 6x9's in the parcel shelf. Now before some chav smashes through my back window all for the sake of some £20 6x9's, I need to fit some uprated speakers in the door pods in the back (and obviously get a new parcel shelf!) Any ideas on...

POTN do a set for £70 that drop the front 35mm and the rear 30mm. Sounds the perfect drop to me and cheap as chips! They can't be that bad can they?

One slight problem...Eibachs seem to be the spring of choice but.. "Sportline Spring Kit Front 45mm - 50mm Rear 30mm Drop" "Please Note: If you are lowering your car by more than 40mm short shocks are required" If I will need new shocks then this is gonna cost way more than a ton in total. Are...

Sounds like Eibach are the ones then. Am planning a thrash around the track some point this summer. Cheers for the advice

Sound. Once the missis coughs up the dough I shall post a plea for help. Cheers Gweebs

Seen some folks on here with Turinis in anthracite i think and wanna get me some of dat!:cool: Anywhere in the NW that will do it? Can't be that expensive per wheel, right?

Ok so here are some of the options I'm looking at.. Pi Springs 25mm front & 15mm back Spax 30mm front&back Ventura?? 25mm front&back All around £80ish Or Eibach sportline for a bit more cash depending on ride height??

How much does it lower it though? What about fitting?

Whats the best set up? Lower it 25mm front & 15mm back? 25mm front&back or 30mm front&back? Do sometimes have to stick luggage etc in the car and I'm ashamed to say that the golf clubs are always in the boot.....does this make a difference to what set up I should go for?
