Spot on Cheetrs

Hi guys, need to know who makes the 172 ECU (ie bosch, siemens etc.) Cant get to the car before it gets dark (at work at the mo) and need to know by tonight. Any help appreciated Cheers si.

Get the same hing with my cup, it sticks in gear from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. only if your giving it some. the cars done 13K and doesnt do it that often anymore

Middle of March. As of yet there is no exact date set, just waiting for my mate at Longbridge to finalise a day when its free. Really looking forward to it, quite pleased to know you guys also use it. I really really really must join the club! (Its been on my thinks to do list since buying the...

Just read the cup exhaust thread and noticed some of you have been to Curborough. Im hopefully going to be taking the cup there for the first time next month, as 12 of us have hired the track for the day. Just wandered what times people have had round it? (We will be using the timing gear) The...

EVO quotes 6.5 for the cup, and 7.1 for the 172 (MK2) as a time they recorded from the cars they had on test. As CUPPY says, depends on too many variables for it to mean that much

Your right, at the end of the day the debate will go on and on. Im not one of these people who thinks new must be best (even though i drive a cup), like i say, my friend has a 205 mi16, and when we get to track days we will be swapping just to see what each is like. I have the upmost respect for...

One of my best friends has an R32, with the AMD upgrade, so I know exactly how good that is (and yes it is unbelievable, considering it is called a Golf) and in different tests the cup/172 has never faired that badly against the others. I appreciate that in out and out pace, it is prob. not...

(Sorry, - Ben H) And yes, Id love to see another test in evo with new vs old. To finally settle the hot hatch debate.

BenR - Dont get me wrong, i totally agree, the test was almost a set piece with no other car as comparison. Before the cup, i owned a 205 gti, and yes they are awesome cars, and no, you cant really buy anything today that has the same raw drivers appeal. (Unless your willing to go for caterhams...

Cheers Tomclio182! Cheers for the link lagerlout1, If it is as good as evo reckon (I first looked into the cup on recommendation of evo) then there may well be some key swapping taking place over the next 12 months! philip, you have PM.

Hi Guys, anyone read this months EVO? In the first test section towards the start of the mag is a review of the 182. They couldnt praise it enough, so much so that even despite the silly (in pics) looking exhaust, Im definately gonna be checking it out down my local Reno garage! I didnt...

Cheers for that mate, saves me a phone call in the morning! So looking at about just over £17 for the filter per service. After the second service then the panel filter will have paid for itself. I dont need any more persuading, suggestions???

Hi guys, Just a quickie, does anyone know how much a new air filter is for the 172? And do they tend to get replaced at every 12K interval? Just asking cos the cups going in on fri for its 1st service, and the dealer mentioned in passing that the air filter may need to be replaced and will...

Have done! thats why Im asking. there are two prices on the site.

P.S. its for a MK2 172 engine. Cheers.

Right, can anyone clear this up for me. Want to get a decat, dont care that the K-tec can only take the one sensor blah blah (cheers dogmaul), but which price is it on the K-tec site? When you click on decat, in the exhaust section, it takes you to a picture, with £57 above, and £123 below...

toms_cup - you have PM

Its true you cant get the face off, but when its not in use it looks inconspicous (too the untrained eye) cos its just black. Ive not had any problems and i had a similar black panel sony stereo in the car before. My friend has a face off Pioneer, and twice he has had his stereo nicked out of...

Just thought id let you know, ive got a sony cdxm800 for sale, with a 10 disc autochanger, and the remote wire that will make your stereo controls on your steering wheel work. You can have the lot for £200. It came out of a cup, where everything else is standard. I thought it sounded very good...

I dont want anything below the bumper. personally i dont think it looks right unless you cut the bumper (which i dont wanna do) but everyone has a different opinion on this, and at the end of the day its down to personal preference. Gonna get the De-cat, and Group N once of sold a few bits, then...

Cheers dogmaul. De cat it will be. As soon as K-tec bring out the hidden zorst, thatll go on with it. Thanks guys

Cheers for the input guys! Does the Janspeed accomadate 2 lambda sensors? And if the sports cat from K-tec gives approx 7bhp, how much will a straight through pipe give? Im not bothered about the eco tree warriers, and dont mind changing it every year, but if a sports cat will just go straight...

Hi Guys! Just want to know where i can get a decat pipe for a cup/172. K-tec have one but its only for the MK1. Or can you get away with leaving the 2nd lambda sensor unplugged? Short of cash at the mo, but would it be best to couple this with the Group N ECU (love the idea of revving to...

(sorry, it was 165bhp, not 160) I wouldnt worry too much. As long as it still feels bloody quick thats al that matters!
