Maybe the noise will improve in time just like the engines do.

Id have thought it would...

When I got my Cup (from new) I was a bit dissapointed at first as it was very quiet and didnt really have a "note" as such.

This was in total contrast to my 306 Rallye which had a lovely exhaust note as standard and sounded superb for an original system.

However after the Cup got a few miles on the clock it developed its own sound and its ok now.



Sounds a lot better with the Viper on though!

Yes bigvin it is Hylton in Cheltenham, I had my 172 from there aswell.

Been dealing with a guy called Nick Banner, top bloke cant do enough to help out.

182 apparently came into the dealership on 12 feb.

What colour is yours?

 

[bigvin]

Stu, the colour I have ordered is Artic Blue.

I rang the dealers today and they told me that they had a 182 coming in on the 21st of this month! The guy who I am dealing with is called Maurice, and I think he may be getting another call tomorrow now!

Is there no trust left in the world?

 

[172 Stu]

Had a phone call yesterday to say the car hadnt arrived and that they would give me a call as soon as it did.

Was well disappointed as id taken the day off for the test drive being as its my bday today. (sore subject)

 

[bigvin]

I got somebody else to ring the dealer today to check if they had any in, and they were told the same date as me.

It wont be of any consolation to you Stu, but I am kinda glad they dont have any in as they would have been lying to me otherwise.

Heres hoping to get some delivery news soon......

im sorry, but in my opinion the anthracite renaultsport wheels are the nicer of the two!

 

[bigvin]

Nice one Dave.

I think the non anthracite wheels suit the blue, but I think they may look better on some of the other colours.

 

[Tom]

that 182 looks lower than the cup.

weird

 

[specialK]

the 182s we saw were definitely lower than a std 172, but still not quite low enough - wouldnt like to say whether they were lower or as low or not as a Cup, since ours is lowered so I am used to seeing a "low" cup.

just read that - does it make any sense??? if not, sorry !!

 

[Tom]

yeah i get ya.

 

[jon_r]

and again. Mines lower

 

[Tom]

but yours is broke!!

 

[D-CUP]

Reanulsport wheels = Something of a Honda 4x4

Speedline Turini = Motoring classic

 

[Tom]

ooh you meanie!

 

[dk]

so I guess that would be classic vs modern, ill take the modern thankyou

its all a matter of opinion though otherwise we would all drive the same car! You like yours and I like mine, thats the way it should be!
