Back with a 172 cup

[stevec93]

Hi all, decided to join back up again as I've just bought myself a 172 cup as a daily driver after being sensible and having a Passat 4motion for a while.

Got the car reasonably local, 172 cup with 76k and standard needs some work but low miles and pretty good condition

-It's got an eml on, says lambda sensor, and the standard exhaust is leaking slightly want a new exhaust, preferably a recessed one
- Also handles rubbish, there's a slight clunk over uneven roads, arb possibly? But it tramlines really bad and just is a bit all over the place, so gonna see if there's anything worn underneath
- The speedlines are in really bad condition so gonna get them refurbed either silver or anthracite
- Possibly a induction kit
- Lowering springs, any suggestions? My last 172 had eibach springs on non cup shocks and handles and rode well, but this cup seems alot harsher on standard springs, but don't like the standard height
- Would also like a set of recaro seats, evo ones or something, had a set lined up but owner changed his mind just now
- Apart from that just tidy it up, with simple things 3/4 plate, tidy break calipers, find a front splitter mines missing, any suggestions apart from Renault?

Here's my old 172, stealth exhaust, ktec induction kit, eibach springs, and spacers, but was a bit rough, and was just a cheap project, but ended up wanting another after I sold it

And here's my main toy, and reason the cups a daily

Looks great! Was that the one for sale in Aberdeen on Gumtree by chance? If so, it looked a bargain. I'm sure it will be cracking once you get the bits and bobs done to it.

Nice TME by the way.

That looks very tidy.

Spring wise I’m liking the H&r’s I have.

I had h&r's on a golf gti I had and hated them to harsh, was shocks and springs. How stiff are they on clio? Last clio and Astra gsi had eibach springs and they were much more forgiving on normal roads

That evo is epically clean, credit too you.

I’ve had all the ‘known’ springs and would buy the h&rs again. Not that harsh atall really.

Thanks [emoji106]Stripped the evo bit by bit every winter underneath to refurb it, last year did the back end, just now engines out tidying up bay, and hopefully that will be it done

I'll look into h&r's [emoji106]
