Howdy - new person, familiar car

[djp66]

Howdy,

Long term lurker and recent 172 Cup owner here. I've been hunting around for the right 172/182 Cup that would be a smallish project that could ultimately be used for Production class Autosolo's & Sprints.

Then came along a car that was almost too good and wouldn't leave much for the 'project' that I wanted. However, after running through the options, costing out how much I would spend doing all the things I would on a project car it seemed sensible to go with the one already sorted. There's probably a few more things to do.

I understand a few of it's previous owners lurk around these parts too.

So, as we move into 2019 and the new season, I hope to start participating in a few of the Sevenoaks & District Motor Sports club events and will share how I get on...

Was indeed my previous car ?

There are a few other previous owners of the car on here too as I traced them back before I purchased it. Look forward to the updates.

Tidy.

That looks too good to use on track! It's how I'd love my 172 to look eventually.

If you're going to consider cutting the rear bumper, please don't. I'll gladly pay for it and I'll send you one already cut.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

welcome along. Tidy that, and quite rare being an Iceburg Cup

Look tidy, be shame to do anything other than keep it stock imo

It came with two bumpers, the cut one was fitted but I have an uncut one as well which I'll be fitting at some point.

It will remain standard as them are the rules for the Autosolo/Autotest class I aim to use it for.

Thanks everyone for the welcome vibes ?

Ah that's good then!

 

[Simon998]

Excellent. I love a good standard 172 cup.

If you're interested in selling the cut bumper, if it's in good condition, PM me.
