182 Cup for Trophy?

[scottiebhoy]

What are peoples thoughts on changing my 182 cup for a trophy?
Just been looking through pistonheads etc,

Holes burning in my pockets, lol

Do it, I've driven a freinds 182 cup, and I much prefer my trophy.

No point imo, get the cup supercharged already.

If you have the money and fancy a change, why not.

Can't stand that colour myself tho, if only they'd have made it available in RB with xenons it would have been perfect imo.

Never driven a 182 cup but my old 182 had cup suspension on it so more or less the same.
The Trophy is much better handling than my old 182, just do it, you wont regret it.
Dont let the colour put you off, i didnt like Red cars before i got mine but love it now.
Just make sure all the usual crap has been done like cam / aux kit and dampers referb.
Its deffo a step up not a side step IMO.

Just go and have a drive of one. That should help you make up your mind.

Depends how much cash you have?
Cup packed 197's better all rounder

I own a cup and my mate owns a trophy, the suspension is better on the trophy, but red clios arent for everyone.

Stick to the cup and get some coilovers!!!! Trophys look to high for me!!

I wondered what the hype was until I drove my mates Trophy. Although I did find the Recaros uncomfortable.

Having owned both, I'd say it depends on the type of use it's going to get. If it's purely road (b road blasts etc) then the Trophy is a great option. It's not perfect (1st thing I would do is to remove the vibration washers to lower the seats).

If it's for track use, keep the 182 and get coilovers and seats.
