172 Cup everytime, its a Proper cup.

182 cups are well......

Depends what you want from the car, can you cope with out ABS, and all the extras ?

 

[droopy gt]

which every one i get i wanna :

strip rear seats out
coilovers
struts front and rear
wilwoods

so basically a track car

 

[Dangerous_dave]

lol well in that case you should buy mine then!

put her up for sale about 3 days ago,
had about 6 people contact me mainly timewasters apart from 1 or 2

 

[Šįk]

depends on your budget, if ur pushed for cash just go with a mint 172cup.. Not much difference between the two, Cheap as chips n more bang for buck!

PSJ.

 

[droopy gt]

ur clio looks nice mate i have a 6 grand budget but can be up but i need to get rid of my starlet first fingers crossed it will be sold in 2 weeks

172 cup all day TBH.

 

[JayR]

For what you want (a small track beast?) it has to be the 172 cup!

 

[Dangerous_dave]

well 4700 of that will buy mine the rest will get you a s**t load of v-power and some track time

 

[droopy gt]

thank you all for input i think i prefer the 172 cup but dont wanna buy one and regret no buying a 182 cup

 

[Dave H]

Had both.If for road use the 182.Track...172.

 

[droopy gt]

well 4700 of that will buy mine the rest will get you a s**t load of v-power and some track time

if its still there when i got all my funds together ill come have a look

 

[JayR]

The only 182 i would buy is a Trophy or 'cup packed' FF 182!

The 182 Cup is pointless over the 172 cup imo.

 

[Munson]

Unless he wants ABS and or AC.

 

[Dangerous_dave]

the real cup will run rings around fatty boom boom 182 cup

 

[Bazzon]

If its for a proper track car, you want a PH1 172

 

[Munson]

Nothing will beat a Williams.

NOTHINGGGGGGGGGG.

 

[JayR]

Unless he wants ABS and or AC.

Still defeats the object of the 'CUP, diet excersise' imo!

Why not just get the FF with cup goodies!? You know that makes more sense!

Nothing will beat a Williams.

NOTHINGGGGGGGGGG.

This man knows! lol

 

[Fletcher]

Nothing will beat a Williams.

NOTHINGGGGGGGGGG.

I see what you've done there

 

[Munson]

Because he's stripping it all out and using it as a track car? In which case the only reason to choose the 182Cup over 172Cup is if he wanted to have ABS and/or AC.

Why strip out an FF?

 

[kev182cup]

the real cup will run rings around fatty boom boom 182 cup

hahahaha oh really. :lolup:

 

[droopy gt]

i think the verdict is 172 cup and who needs abs and ac

 

[Dangerous_dave]

if i wasnt selling it i would say name a track time and place and i will show you

especially run rings around those inferno tats

Good point but still think the 'real' cup is the better option in this case.

i think the verdict is 172 cup and who needs abs and ac

Seeeeeeeee, Royston.

 

[kev182cup]

dude i had a 172cup for 2 years, the extra grip alone from the wider tyres would make the 182 quicker especially round a track. i do dislike the abs though.

 

[Munson]

Good point but still think the 'real' cup is the better option in this case.

Seeeeeeeee, Royston.

I didn't suggest he should want ABS or AC. I said they are the only reason to consider the 182Cup over the 172Cup in this instance. Considering the OP was asking about both cars, I thought it was a valid point to make.

 

[JayR]

Chill Winst! I said it was a 'good point'.

 

[Munson]

Chill? lol who isn't chilled?

 

[Dangerous_dave]

ME im boiling had a new boiler fitted and powerflushed the entire system, house is now like a sauna

 

[Munson]

Should be used to it, being a 172Cup driver.

 

[Dangerous_dave]

haha good 1

 

[Munson]

I'd have a ph1 172 over a cup. Nearly the same weight, but you keep ac and abs. And cable throttle, much better!

 

[Šįk]

the 172cup is the one u need mate!

Bit of advice tho, buy one with all the stuff U want already done to it. Don't waste your money in doing it yourself.

PSJ.

 

[droopy gt]

i have kinda found that out with the starlet spent 10 k on it

 

[Henry]

you probably don't need do all that much to one to improve it for fastroad/track - engine mounts, exhaust (both of which are poor OE), front pads, lines/fluid. everything else should be ok, although can obv. be spent on

 

[st3ve]

172 cup ftw. I'm not biased either.

If you're gonna strip it out and what not you have to think is 2 grand extra for a 182 cup worth it just to have either ABS or AC? I don't think so.

More weight anyway. :rasp:

Pie in the sky!

 

[ForceIndia]

Pie in the sky!

+1! That's one of the best one's on here for a while!

 

[cander08]

i just bought a 172 cup mate . cant fault it. looks better than the 182 with the turini wheels.
