hiya mate i know it has been askin aloads of time but i write in cupvs sport or something and i cant find nothing really but i must not be writing in the write thing

 

[Fletcher]

Not again....lol

Weight. cups lighter
0-60. cups a little bit quicker [Evo figures cup 0-60 6.5/ 172 7.1
topend. same 138mph
handling. cup handles better standard.
brakes. cup has no ABS.

I've driven both, and imo the cup does feel quicker,more urgent then the 172.

 

[cliokent]

sorry about the question again so really its best to get the cup really then i take then but is there alot of diffence is price

 

[Timmay]

go for full fat - gotta love climate and cruise control!

 

[cliokent]

well if it only a few 0.3 sec to 60 quicker in a cup than a full fat then you can easy loss that in strippin it and for handling i was lookin at to lowerin it anywayz

 

[Fletcher]

Mine hasn't got cruise control :dapprove: iirc 03 plate and onwards have it.

 

[cliokent]

well i wanna get one are they easy to perforamce up and do you think i would be able to beat a st220 mondeo becuase that what my dads got

 

[whatisjustis]

well i wanna get one are they easy to mod up and do you think i would be able to beat a st220 mondeo becuase that what my dads got

Haha! Brilliant! Well, the ST220 does 0-60 in 7.7 seconds so you should be fine. If you want to know how easy they are to 'mod' I'd suggest making use of the forum you've become a member of...

 

[Ian_182]

After 80mph no,you wont beat an st220

 

[Hoppy]

wll my dad got his at 7 sec and its standard and got it tested at a 0-60 day but dont ask who and i will do how much is it to become a member

 

[joebristolgym]

Cup is quite basic, and in the summer on a humid day stuck in traffic you'll be regrettnig not getting the normal one with climate control....

My mate has had a cup a couple of months and he likes it, but there is very little difference between his 172 cup and my 182 FF with cup packs in performance terms - except I've got coilovers so mine outhandles his in quite a big way.

Not sure about an ST220 - my 182 happily blitzes st24 and st200, but never tried an st220. It should outhandle it though.

^^^^£10 to become a member

 

[cliokent]

cool not alot of money and there is a big differnt in price quiet abit between the cup n sport

 

[Saner]

It is not easy to to set more bhp out for a RS clio

 

[cliokent]

fair enough i no my mate got about 190bhp i think in his cup and that think is fast

 

[Saner]

Unlikely you'll break 190bhp in a cup without spending alot of money

 

[whatisjustis]

It's a waiting game though if you ask me. If you're patient you can find nicely priced cups. I've seen a few on Pistonheads in the 5 - 5.7k region but this... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/603429.htm ...strikes me as a bargain!

Alternatively, a 172 like this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/724312.htm is a steel if you're not worried about a little elbow grease to bring it up to scratch. I paid £3,995 for mine.

 

[cliokent]

i dunno but it is fast as f**k thou but i dunno what his running

 

[Dickie_172_cup]

go for a cup m8,a enjoy mine alot lol,never driven a normal 172 sport though so cant compare.

 

[Johnc172]

Fellow Sittingbourne-r! Mines in bits at the minute mate but you can take a look at mine whens its done!

 

[Christophe]

id get full fat as there really is not much difference in speed and you get alot more with the ff. but then again i am biased lol

 

[wiley]

sport looks better with xenons, air'con and leathers

wiley

 

[st3ve]

I'd get full fat unless you are going to be tracking it in which case get a cup.

 

[Peperami]

well if it only a few 0.3 sec to 60 quicker in a cup than a full fat then you can easy loss that in strippin it and for handling i was lookin at to lowerin it anywayz

If you're looking at stripping it, and fitting coilies, get a cup mate.

 

[steve 'o']

Get a cup mate i spent months looking around and drove both, I needed the comfort still so managed to get a cup with CC (for thoose hot summer days, That we neva get in the uk anyway!!) Defo feel better/faster when driving and i would like to think im not overly bias as tried both when buying + im sure once you get a CS you will want to throw it around the track at some point

 

[ForceIndia]

The way prices are at the moment, get a cupped 182, best of both worlds IMO. Or a ph1 172 + coilovers. Pretty much the same weight as a cup IIRC, but you get to keep AC and ABS. Win.

 

[DrR]

I'd get a 172 cup with cup packs full fat myself.

 

[Rhino172]

I'd get a 172 cup with cup packs full fat myself.

lol

come on guys you should all know by now (due to help from Rollo) that Full Fat is a 182 term not a 172 Term.

For 172's it's either a Cup or simply a 172

The 182 has the Cup, 182 and 182 full fat

an IMO, don't worry too much about performace figures unless you're going on track. I kept up with a Ferrari 360 on the road the other day....because we were sitting in traffic doing 1 mph.... for day to day use think about the extras you want/don't want...aircon/CC, leather/alcantara seats, xenons, ABS etc...all of which the Cup doesn't have but the 172 does
