You do know it was a compliment?

Mondial172 · Jul 17, 2005

Sweet!
Mine looked like that the other day until i cleaned the wheels

edde · Jul 17, 2005

Looks good.

You let me mum reverse up the drive a week or so ago. Looked just as clean then.

The back looks wound down different amounts has it ben setup like that?

dutty_112 · Jul 17, 2005

mint motor i love it

Type_Mo · Jul 17, 2005

dont like the colour of the wheels, but the rest is nice.

dutty_112 · Jul 17, 2005

^^^ thats the best bit about it! the wheels

Christopher · Jul 17, 2005

christ that looks good.

Lose the exhaust, or at least get it fitted properly.

Other than that, thats one of the nicest Cups ive seen.

CHRIS172CUP · Jul 17, 2005

Is that on coilovers, which ones? Looks good mate.

I wouldnt mind getting my wheels done like that, probably matt black though.

leeds_182 · Jul 17, 2005

sweet.

Zorba_the_greek · Jul 17, 2005

like the wheels alot

Gaz_ · Jul 17, 2005

cheers peeps, its on gaz coilvers, but changing to h&rs soon, as the rears make too much racket whilst driving. The rears are set up the same each side, 1 and a half turns up from the bottom, the pic of the rear is not the most flattering, but i think it has more to do with the lack of photography skills to be honest! (ie wonky)The exhaust doesnt look to good in the pic, but looks alot better in the metal, wanted a stelth one really, but heard the fitment isnt the best?

Clarkie172 · Jul 17, 2005

mint!

My stealth system in fine.

Paul(clarkie172) has the same set up.

How much would you be looking for the GAZ setup after you change to H&R?

Gaz_ · Jul 17, 2005

not sure mate, ill get the h&Rs and ill drop you a pm? if not theyll go on ebay. Only looking about two weeks max, they are fine only got em in jan, just fancy a change

Alan · Jul 17, 2005

Looks mint mate!

Neil82 · Jul 17, 2005

Very nice.

fizzy_drink · Jul 17, 2005

Looks great!

Any chance of getting the zorst cut-in to the bumper?

TomS · Jul 17, 2005

One of the nicest Cups I have seen

Again, I dont like the exhaust, I think oval would look cool, but those wheels look amazing on it.

Tom

Gaz_ · Jul 17, 2005

cheers! itll need modding to be cut into the bumper, to do that id probably sell it and get a stealth jobbie. Personally i think it looks miles better than the magnex oval, very gash, the oval pipe dont suit the straight lines of the back bumper imo

rory182 · Jul 17, 2005

is it just me that thinks it looks too low?!

wheel arches arent anywhere near concentric with the wheels. side on looks a bit funny thats all.

Looks great otherwise and Im sure it handles like fcuk

the back end of a car should be raised slightly higher than the front as it aids turn in apparently, look at this,

granted mine is slammed to the weeds but ive tried to keep the rear raised a little higher than the front, and it handles awsomme.

GarethM · Jul 17, 2005

awesome car dude, ive just had a magnex twin fitted on my 172 but it doesnt stick out at the back as much as that.

itll look loads better is it was shorter imo.

love the wheels i want a set of turinis in anthracite

Tiger · Jul 17, 2005

nice car chum, 10 times nicer that those pesky 182s!

Turkish · Jul 17, 2005

Dean · Jul 17, 2005

^^^^ that just does not look right at all!!

jpmad4it2 · Jul 18, 2005

nice car loving it!! Love the wheels.

think the exhaust sticks out too much at the rear though

it would look better on bigger tyres, or maybe wider tyres cos the horizontal gaps between the tyres and the car dont do it any favours

Iain C · Jul 18, 2005

awseome mate! Spot on

Dean · Jul 18, 2005

trophy looks ridiculous at that height, even if it does handle well it could do with being lower

Gaz_ · Jul 18, 2005

cheers guys

the exhaust is getting a slating, but i think its to do with the angles i was taking them at, it really doesnt stick out that far, looks ok, so here are two better pics of the rear,
