Remapped derv Golf
Id buy a black (or red) 172 - put on Turinis and the cup spoilers + uprated the springs if youve got any money left - Sorted
Theres one round here like that and it just looks like a black cup
Sweet
If you live in an area with bad roads (like croydon) then the cups hard ride is a pain in the arse!

Dont get them wound up or get people started on about a 182 Cups.
Basically IMO the Cup is a stripped out more hard core stiffer suspension lowers ligtened with no leather seats zeons or abs. Its supposed to be quicker than a 172 but will depends no to many things.
Id go for a 172 personally as I like my toys and the main advanatge to me for getting a cup ie the suspension can be bettered with aftermarket stuff.

i found that the cup feels faster than the "in my case" 182 dont know why it just did but i prefer the toys...thats why i got rid of my cup
whats the interior on the 172 cup like compared to the 172? is the 172 much nicer, any diff in build quality between the two, not bothered about the speed diff as i dont think that i will notice it?! however it seems alot easier to find a decent 172 cup than a 172. opinions plz
can.........worms.....................everywhere..............
Its slightly different colour and noisyier (cup has less sound proofing)
Same build quality although as the cups noisier (should be) you might think its worse. They reasonable build quality just rattle in general.
There are pre registed Cups comming onto the market which were held in stock and quite a few cups being swopped for 182 so there will apear more but there are a lot of 172 out there and the difference shouldnt be much.
Bothered. Everyone knows the Cup is quicker. How much quicker is the part most people over-estimate. If you were so much as to half-fluff a gear change the Cups advantage is gone. Its totally down to the driver.
For example, I have seen videos of you in your Cup and you can launch it very well, being an experienced 1/4 miler. I on the other hand have never attempted 1/4 miling ( and have no intention to do so) and would undoubtedly be rubbish at getting my car off the line. I would bet money that you in a standard 172 against me in a standard Cup would see you win 9 times out of ten.

If its absolutely necessary that ur the quickest thing out there, then buy a Cup, and carefully follow the instructions below:
Dont drive with more than 1/4 tank fuel
Dont fill your windscreen washer reservior
Remove rear seats and parcel shelf
Remove stereo headunit & all four speakers
Dont carry passengers
Dont carry luggage
Dont carry spare wheel & Jack
Dont eat/drink at all
Fill your tyres with helium
Remove your valve caps
The above will save you a lot of weight, and your car will FLY!
If ur not so fussed about competitively racing your clio, but want a FANTASTIC drive, with all your creature comforts, then get a 172.

LMAO!
I heard that the instruction manuals on the Cup and 172 are different. Apparently, the Cup has an extra section on the Atkins diet.
Tell you what, though, if I was running from the missus, Id want to get away QUICK - Cup would be my choice.
