197 to Trophy??

[Gaz_]

Keep getting these strange thoughts lol.

From this

(H&R coilovered)

To a Trophy!!!!?

I was thinking a swap deal, then i'd AP 4 pot the Trophy and leave it lol

Discuss........

 

[type_rdriver]

Trophy for me mate, not really a fan of the new clio.

 

[jesus]

Looks-wise I'd keep that mate.

 

[DrR]

How much would u sell it for?

 

[alanc1000]

Rexinatrophy (who owned my 197) and jay197 both went from 197 to trophy and seem happy.

I'm thinking of 197 to BMW Z4 coupe at the mo!

How comes, are you bored with the 197?

 

[Gaz_]

Dunno tbh!!! With having a 172 Cup for three years and a 182, i thought i'd been there done it etc. Love the 197, but cant really be arsed messing with cars anymore (awaits flaming from kev ) Just something about the Trophy?

 

[Fletcher]

Tricky one Gaz, i like the 172/82 and 197 for very different reasons.. i guessing keeping both isn't a option?

Although a trophy with AP racing 4 pots would be great :approve:

 

[Gaz_]

Tricky aint it!!! Dont want both, just maybe sold on the tearing up the welsh roads in a Trophy lol!!

 

[alanc1000]

Get the Trophy to tick the box. Picking up a 197 and Trophy are a peice of piss, you can easily get yourself back into another 197 if you are dissapointed.

 

[Gaz_]

Possibly lol. I know what to expect in the 182, as have regular access to my sisters 182, will feel a bit of a backward step interms of interior etc.....but hmmmmm. Keep having these thoughts lol. Must be because i keep seeing one, hell i even had a dream about one!!! (weird)

 

[Keith185]

Trophy all the way

Still puts a big smile on my face.

Test drive one if you havn't already and see what you think

 

[Gaz_]

Be reet, i know what to expect (firmer than a cupped 182, recaros etc) Just not sure if the 'gruffness' will piss me off lol

 

[Ali]

No.

 

[Craig]

just get the trophy you gay and be done. gonna put H&Rs on lol

 

[Gaz_]

lol!! I was expecting more input from you!!!

 

[CabinFever]

Never in a million could i go back to a 1*2 now, in any guise!

Your choice though mate.

 

[Ali]

lol!! I was expecting more input from you!!!

No. lol

 

[paul]

182 cup is were its at now your talking!

 

[Gaz_]

182 cheap you mean?

Fail

 

[Mr Burns]

Crazy talk, step backward imo

Your 197 looks awesome too!

 

[Gaz_]

Too much solvent abuse you think?

 

[Gaz_]

No. lol

Thoughts scottish........

 

[Craig]

no tbh mate i think you will be stepping a bit backwards your 197 is mint even though i wouldn't trade mine for one. there older and you have had a 182 so just get the ideas out of your head. just get some cams for yours

 

[Jay]

I'd keep the 197

 

[Emz_197]

Keep the 197 you crazy fool :rasp:

 

[Ali]

Thoughts scottish........

Errr...197 is a better car on and off track.

You needing to free up penny's? That said a decent trophy with AP can't be worth much less than your 197...

 

[Gaz_]

197

Has loads more presence than the MK2
Better built
Beter lump
Better seating position/steering wheel
Better brakes

Trophy.

Rare
Recaros
Trick suspension

Hmmmm. Answered my own question?

 

[Emz_197]

You can buy recaros for your 197. Don't know why you'd want to though!!!

 

[Ali]

Yep.

Red R27...1 of 70, HI..

 

[Gaz_]

Feel the need lol!!! I think i just get bored too easily. Think after a month with the Trophy i may think why?

 

[SBV116]

I dunno, the 197 is MINT!! But maybe it takes the fun out of it with its more refined approach!!

BUT, get a trophy, them we can fit H&R's, and really upset everyone!! MINT!

 

[Mr Burns]

If the 197 failed at something the 182 was good at I'd understand, but the 197 is just as good at anything the 182 can do!

 

[SBV116]

The ac will work on the 182!!!!! WIN.

 

[Gaz_]

I was thinking GAZ coilovers....... Refinement is good 90% if the time, see my thoughts regarding exhausts...... wink wink

The AC is still working..... WIN!! Touching all available wood

 

[SBV116]

gaz coilovers and a KTEC stealth! your favourite mods!

Swap you, cup (whats left) and GTI for the 197....

 

[Gaz_]

LOL!!! Think i may get them rims instead kid

 

[SBV116]

worth a punt!! lol!!

I agree the 197 is a better overall package, but it's just not as fun as the 172/82 IMO.

I'd like a 197 cup, but not at the expensive of the 172 as i'd miss it too much.

 

[Brett]

I'd keep the 197 mate.
