Dave H · Apr 12, 2006

Dare l say it......but despite the little problem on my 182cup (see other post) l have to say that .......and keep this to yourself.......but.........

Rich · Apr 12, 2006

Even with a the ECU thinking its cold all the time to!

Not that you're now biased! ha.

I guess it's possible that your old Cup was a pup and this one is a good one.

true.

i have to say my cup feels rapid.

MarkM · Apr 12, 2006

Thats brave.

172cup owners do seem to think they have a clio that is far superior to any other clio ever made! They always use the "I got a good one" comment aswell.

Dansta · Apr 12, 2006

I got a good one.

Quite high lol

As we all know that 0.2 of a second is so easily felt on the road!

Shall we get the usual stuff out of the way before this turns into a car crash

- "The 172 Cup is a real Cup, you've sold out"
- "172 Cup engines were cherry picked, they are the bestest"
- "The 182 Cup is officially the fastest"
- "Who needs aircon anyway, its like 28c max in this country in the Summer"
- "The 182 Cup is fast AND has toys"

and eventually some voices of reason...

- "There is like 0.0005 seconds between them all, whats the point in discussing it?
- "Depends on the driver"

I agree on these two points :approve:

In regards to the first point, I think he's trying to convince himself this one is quicker just to jusify him going all girly! lol

Rich · Apr 12, 2006

Can't use the cherry picked Cup engines on anymore as the Trophy now has them to!

As the Rev limiter will be cutting in early there is bound to me more to come!

leekirlew · Apr 12, 2006

I've got a 172 cup, and although the book says its quicker, id much rather have the 182 cup/trophy, simply looks nicer with the twin exit exhaust and the aircon does come in handy if you're driving down the motorway too fast open the windows. Also I would love those leather recaros! However can't afford that and I love the mondial blue!

Dave H · Apr 12, 2006

When l pulled into Motorpoint last night l parked my 172Cup (rip) next to it....then realised i'd forgot my camera

The two of them looked fantastic

I had a sex wee whilst looking at my new 182Cup

Ali · Apr 12, 2006

Nice seats and xenon's...

leekirlew · Apr 12, 2006

Whats a full fat cup?

Tyson-182 · Apr 12, 2006

^^^ It's a 182 with 'Cup Packs' - Cup Suspension (which include those anthracite wheels), and Cup Spoiler.

Its the best of both worlds imo. The only exception to this is a Full Fat 172 Cup, in which Ali has the only one..

Tyson.

Laura · Apr 12, 2006

well my 1.2 16v is faster than all of them so nerrr

please note all above coments are not based on fact and are ofcourse what dreams are made of

Dave H · Apr 12, 2006

Its all down to those 'go faster' stripes IMHO....

Thomss · Apr 12, 2006

JayR · Apr 12, 2006

So whats, the point of a second difference between a 182 cup and 182 ff with cup packs then??

ChrisE · Apr 12, 2006

Ive just bought one...! Picking it up on tues!

ChrisE · Apr 12, 2006

Those 182 cups with the racing stripes look like they've been driven over by a 172 cup with paint on its wheels...

:butt:

Yes that will be when we were overtaking the slow 182 Cups in our superior 172 Cups, unfortunately we are all crap drivers who write off cars on a daily basis though so we tend to drive into or over lesser Renaultsports instead of driving round them.

blaze · Apr 12, 2006

"cherry picked engines" since when, all of them suffer the same manufactoring tolerances. No where has it been stated, other than by, the one upmanship brigade. LMFAO

kully · Apr 12, 2006

yeah but what if ?????

jbCUP · Apr 12, 2006

Thank God I bought a proper cup and not one of the inferior clios!

BHP is no substitute for a good driver....alls we are talking about is 50kg and 5bhp..

Get some track instruction and you will be a hell of a lot quicker than the above will ever give you.
