172 Cup Gearbox

Hi, i was wondering if you's could tell me whether or not the 172 cup has a shorter final drive than the standard 172, i am interested in selling my cup for a standard 172 as i find that cruising on the motorway requires me to be up around 3500-4000 which makes it slightly uncomfortable

No difference that's big enough to warrant selling the car.

Guess i will be going back to a diesel then, but then i also get to buy a weekend car (supra)

Just to add to this mate, went out in my 182 earlier and thought i'd see what RPM it does 70mph at and found it to be exactly 3250rpm. Mine is a 182ff not a cup if that helps.

Man up. My cup does 42mpg at 70mph on the motorway.

Ph1 ratios are longer than the ph2, albeit not by that much. 172 and 172 Cup ratios are identical.

TBH... you bought the worng car.
