Few recent pictures of the 172 Cup Racecar (to be!)

[Nick172Cup]

Gave it a half arsed clean for the first time in 3 months I think its been today, put the black 2118's on with the R888's also. Still needs a lot of work but slowly coming together, still a few bob to spend though!

Cheers
Nick

Yeah will put a few more up tomorrow Russ for you, if you've seen my project thread this one was a custom job is so didn't have the pleasure of fitting it!

Lol yeah, should be alright for a while seeing as it's dead! But yeah won't make that mistake again!

Not had a full read mate, i will do over the next few days - looks a good project

Unfortunately as mine is the skintiest skint project going il have to be fitting myself lol

 

[leeds_182]

Hardcore.

 

[CuppyDean]

What a car, that will be very quick!

 

[oliver.james]

Awesome. Bet you're pleased with the cage, looks to be a proper job! :approve:

The new design RS2 looks good in X-tra form also.

Yeah very happy with the cage Ollie, doesnt look a lot in comparison to some of the other build threads around atm but the chap that did mine basically said... "I can build you a pretty cage with lots of metal which will be heavy and impress everyone, or I can build you a cage that will suit your needs/be amply strong enough as well as light! So as you can tell I went with the second option!

RS-2 Xtra does look nice with the new design and colour choice, just want to drive the damn thing now!

Cheers
Nick

 

[oliver.james]

Second option would be my preference, also. Good choice imo!

Hopefully it won't be too long until your electrical/loom issues are resolved.

 

[Pete.]

That looks epic Nick, can't wait to see it in action.

 

[Rob]

Looks awesome, but paint the spoiler to match

 

[Tony Hunter]

Nick,you might have to change that steering wheel,Blue Book doesn't allow flat bottomed wheels.

 

[VIICarCare]

mmm lush!

 

[Nick172Cup]

Looks awesome, but paint the spoiler to match

Yeah will get round to it, just hasn't topped the list of things to do yet!

Nick,you might have to change that steering wheel,Blue Book doesn't allow flat bottomed wheels.

Okay Tony, got another steering wheel at home that should do the job!

 

[Sir_Dave]

Blue Book doesn't allow flat bottomed wheels.

Because they are gay?

Looks ace as ever Nicholas, makes me want an RS2 though

Your engine bay is Filth.... Amazing how much dirt is getting in there presumably due to not running a slam pannel?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Yeah it is pretty bad, I was never one for cleaning engine bays as it's a horrible job! But yeah it's because the slam panel is removed!

 

[Cookson]

Looks epic

 

[Ollie82.]

Because they are gay?

Get bent 'I need to wear driving gloves because the cheapness of my steering wheel actually blackens my hands' boy! :rasp:

 

[Silent_Scone]

love it

 

[Cup_Phil]

Looks awesome that mate

Do you mind if I ask - are you running spacers?

I've got the palmersport 2118's and they sit a fair bit in from yours

Is the cage a custom one?

 

[Hixle]

Looks raw! Good work Nick.

Hi there matey, yeah I'm running spacers all round on the Clio. I've got 25mm on the front and 16mm on the rear. The cage is custom indeed, a guy called Mike at Edwards Motorsport near Uxbridge.

[Cup_Phil]

Thanks Nick

Think i'm gonna get some spacers for mine looking at yours - did you get hubcentric?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Thanks Nick

Yeah mine are hub-centric, the only way to go IMO.

 

[Craig.]

Looks like a proper weapon.... Love it! :approve:
