Any other 172/182 variant would do me...
Nippy white cup
Not much until 3rd and 4th m8. 4th is a real killer gear now...pulls really well from 80-125 now and usually the race is over buy then. (mind u thats not just with the r-sport)
Y0z has just fitted his and he is well impressed with the difference.

Well weve played chase before now, both on the road and the strip, plus I drove yours when yous just had the ECU done.
On the road there wasnt a massive difference, but then on the strip I seem to get away better and am in front 1st & 2nd, then you catch and pass me in 3rd, then are away and into 4th leaving me behind, which is where the difference is between our two cars. However, yours aint exactly standard now...
But, I reckon a standard Cup vs a Cup with just an R-Sport wont be that much different, its the filter, zorst & de-cat combined with the ECU that makes a bigger difference!
I hate racing chavs.
I have some real fun in the Cup with other cars. All friendly - plenty of hazard lights, left-right-left indicating, flashing of lights, waves etc. during the little blasts through quiet routes.
When you could race a chav in a car you KNOW you are not just going to beat - but p1ss all over (1.3 Escorts with the usual chav PECO back-box for example), you tend not to because I have had situations like when 2 chavs overtook me in the abovementioned car (I was in 5th at 35mph gear chatting away to a friend and so did not know until he was passed me). I gave chase by dropping 3 gears thinking, "Heres a bit of fun."
I caught him up in just a few seconds and was on my way past him when he Michael Schumacherd me (drove on the other side of the road to block me), slowed down to about 20mph and stuck 2 fingers up at me all the way down the road.
Its naked agression.
Anyone else had any "chav encounters?"
or according to http://www.fasthatchbacks.com/http://www.fasthatchbacks.com/ you would be a good 6-8 car lengths clear at 100. But these are only paper figures!Quote: Originally posted by CUP80Y on 11 February 2004
A small turbo early model (standard) Escort Cossie - so I can nail it to a ton and stay level.
Weeman sucks ****
Id like to see a Focus RS or Integra type R. I love em both and will own them one day.
Tappd'd RS

mailto:B@llsie">B@llsie - I knew it was one way round or the other!!! LOL
I just wanted to differentiate between the two. It was a car I always wanted - and now ive got something as quick / quicker!!! (As Brazo pointed out)
It just puts it into perspective
No problem - I might be wrong, but my Dads a ford fanatic!
Id have loved one too, probably would still like one, they still seem to hold their value superbly!
If you want to see how your cars fare.....race em at http://www.fasthatchbacks.com/http://www.fasthatchbacks.com/
These are only paper figures but these figures come from real road tests and rather than inscribing them in stone they are written on paper! A lot of people poo poo paper figures but youve got to write up road tests on something?
