172 for 182

[FlameR]

I'm thinking of saving up about £2000 and selling my flame red mk2 172, and buying an 05 182. Do you think it's worth it?

 

[Bjorn]

I wouldn't bother tbh, invest the money in something you'll see a return from.

Virtually the same car except newer, not really worth it really.


It'll still rattle just as much though!

 

[quickshift]

not worth it had both and would take my 172 cup anyday over the 182 lol but then again i now have aircon cruise and all the mod cons so unless u want minimal gains wait for the 197 cup

 

[ja.jack]

He'll have to save a lot more than 2 grand to buy a 197 cup.

 

[BigBoreBri]

Not at all IMO... My 182 Cup may feel different compared to my old MK1 172but im still not that impressed when i compare it to my old williams!

Dont bother, just invest the money.

I'm thinking about swapping my 172 for a 182 in a couple of years. According to Evo mag the 182 is 3 seconds faster to 100 than the 172? Surely thats a noticable difference?
I know its basically the same car but I want racing blue so surely its got to be worth it for the colour alone lol

For the price of a manifold and fitting you can have a 182....

I am thinking about doing the same thing in a month or so. My reason being that I always wanted a 182 in racing blue or liquid yellow, and I am getting annoyed at keeping a black car clean lol.

Ideally, I could find someone wanting to p/x a 182 for a 172.

Nah, don't wanna be like 90% of all 172 owners lol. Maybe if it was flame red.

But the 182 would be newer and have less miles? Its just the logical progression from the 172??
