172 cup help

[JohnnyE]

Just had a call of a mate saying he his going to view a cup and needs belts doing, the guy has a cambelt/defaser kit which is in with the sale of the car.
question is how much would he be looking for someone to fit the kit

 

[Bluebeard]

Mates rates £100, proper garage £150 plus the cost if an oil and filter change.

 

[JohnnyE]

Nice one mate

take it to the kevs?

 

[imprezaworks]

I looked at this, the ad anyway. 191bhp?. And I'm sure a silver cup on here had aircon etc so I'm sure that's right. If you want aircon by a standard phase 2 for less

​He's not bothered about what it makes or doesnt make on the rollers just how it drives

 

[imprezaworks]

Probably me being over picky.

 

[JohnnyE]

He just going to abused it sprinting next year

Silver AC'd cups are uber rare!!

(i've no idea why I typed silver... r****d!)

That looks ok for the money really. Especially with the belt kit and dephaser to go with it. Get it fitted by a specialist (Birchdown for you I suppose?) and you can't go wrong!

​But this ones blue

As above, i'm a helmet.

 

[JohnnyE]

Seems a good price

Pointless exercise buying a 172 Cup with aircon IMO.

I see where you're coming from, but it's still a bit lighter than a standard 172!

 

[imprezaworks]

And there you go lol

[JohnnyE]

He said its ok but no service history and owner only had it for 3 months but it ran great so going to have a sleep on it as its the first one he's viewed

Let him drive yours so he can compare

​Might do if he wants to

 

[imprezaworks]

So not cheap, dephaser noisy, 191bhp. I wouldn't even sleep on it

 

[imprezaworks]

[JohnnyE]

I will let him know about this

 

[imprezaworks]

I was very tempted but wanted a cage etc. I've spoke to chris via pm and he seems a top guy

 

[JohnnyE]

He didnt buy that one so still on the look out for one for around 1.6k

 

[imprezaworks]

Does it have to be a cup?

 

[JohnnyE]

Yes

 

[imprezaworks]

Will keep an eye out

 

[JohnnyE]

Cheers

Thanks for the help. It was me who was looking. Didn't end up buying... seemed okay if looking at it objectively but just didn't get the right vibe (if that makes sense)

Have ended up buying a low mileage (56k) Cup. Belts and pulleys changed at 35k so by my figuring it should still have a fair bit left in it for me to abuse it on track (famous last words)

Picking it up either tomorrow or Wed and will be starting the modding on Thu hahaha. First job is some decent adjustable coilovers and some standard seats. I've started a thread (link below) asking for a bit of direction... feel free to add/ help

How long ago was the belt changed? If it was changed over 4 years ago then I'd get it renewed before giving the car a thrashing.

Think it was 2 years from memory. Will check the paperwork when I pick.it up. Thanks
