Clio 172 cup is calling my name, HELP!

[Ricardos]

I just really like them and for some strange reason i feel the need to probably own 1. I've always had a soft spot for them and think maybe i should get one.... But this would mean i'd have to sell my Clio 172... Maybe it's a mixture of being stupid, bored, just plain silly but i've been scouring different sites looking at them over the last 3-4 days and really like them.

I wasn't even sure whether to put this on the boards but hey it's a discussion forum, it's just how i'm thinking at the moment.... Maybe i'll come to my senses...

LOL

You're mental.

You've got one of the nicest ph1's out there, and you want a crappy cup? Jesus.

If anything, bung a more standard interior in your motor if you want something a bit less hardcore.

 

[ABOO]

Answer the call......

 

[rampantreaper]

i wouldnt sell a 172 for a cup, but cups are better handling, more f un and more smiles for miles

 

[Rob]

Do you know anything about his ph1?

I'm guessing not going by the above comments.

 

[Dave Hester]

I would happily swap my 172 cup for your ph1 once mine is finished

 

[JackJack]

Mad to get rid of your ph1.

 

[Correy]

Your phase 1 is mint, and different from the rest with the white and mods, but more importantly get your a** down Tour De Force with me on the 10th November for the re-map of a life time lol !

 

[Goodj]

Cups are poor mens Ph.1's

Rob there's no chance of OE interior going back in as all the brackets have been ground off and the cage is in the way.

Goodj: Cup = poor mans phs1.... interesting

 

[ABOO]

I don't know anything about his PHS 1. Just going on the reasoning I always use, that if you want it and its in reach, do it. Couple of years ago I wanted a MK 3 Golf VR6, sold Octy VRS to get it, had 6 months then sold on (for profit) only car ever made on. If I get an itch I need to scratch...!...

In a couple of months, don't know whether to get me another phs1 or a Cup?? Had phs 1 and 2, although only had 1 for 6 months before she died. Feel like have unfinished business......

Go drive one.

Then tell me you like the bus steering wheel, awful seats, comedy seating position, dreadful electronic throttle and the generic Mk2Ph2 looks......

Sounds like you're a big fan Giraffe!! How are you resisting selling your Jap for one??

Ps. Still to this day regret not buying your black phs 1....

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ha. Never mind It was a shed (seriously).

Rich's Ph1 is the old RS-T white one, stripped, full cage, buckets.. a dinky steering wheel and er... not a lot else last time I saw it. Not sure why he wants a Cup over that but then I'm still a yoof, he's old. Tastes change later in life.

I'd rather sell both of my kidneys TBH. Had a Ph2 172 (D-Cup) .. didn't like it much as you can tell !

:evil:

 

[Gaz_]

Cup is the best Mk2 imo, only one i'd ever own again. They also look the best by a mile

 

[Dunn]

i would have a cup as well as my ph1 but not in place of it

 

[Fletcher]

You should keep your ph1 TBH.

 

[Ricardos]

There's something about it, i like the 172 cup... but then thinking if i sold the phs1 for decent money i could stretch to a 182 cup.

I couldn't compare my clio 172 to any other Clio model!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Just go drive one dude.....

PS: A 182 Cup !? Are you insane... That's not even a Cup. It's a beaker.

 

[Ricardos]

I'd be interested to drive a cup to see how they go, i saw a nice LY 182 for sale.

 

[Rob]

Electric throttl......zzzzz..zzzz

 

[imprezaworks]

I've no idea what the ops is like but I wouldn't swap mine for one. About the only other clio I would get is a trophy

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Good grief people...

Haha cheers, actually thinking about it i could possibly fit 172 'CUP' badges to mine.

Clio Cup race rollcage
Clio Cup door handle spacers
Clio Cup alternator setup
No AC
No electric windows

Al i need are the Cup 'thinner spec' glass

 

[Rob]

I hope you know that doesn't exist... ^

 

[Feirny]

Trophy > PH1 > Rest.

Don't do it.

 

[Ricardos]

I've seen a couple of 172 cups in some ads, i've e mailed 1 on Pistonheads to see if they still have it

 

[Martin_172]

M3 > PH1 > everything else
Don't do it.

agreed

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol where did m3 come from?

 

[Martin_172]
