I want a 172 Cup...

[Christopher]

I drove one yesterday, and loved it. It's been about four years since I drove the last and I think I forgot how quite how different they are to the porky RS models. So raw.

Cup owners, I'm jealous. Just not of your seats.

Pity they don't have xenon lamps.

 

[gaz44]

Buy one then. They seem to be very popular right now!

Im thinking of listing mine on ebay very soon tbh, just think its time to try something differnt, i fancy a mk1 golf with a tt conversion.

 

[172Ben]

Buy Maz's, it's mint Chris!

They are nice to drive, agree on the seats tho

Advertising it as mint?

(But only the paintworks mint. The engine was rebuilt by monkeys using bananas and jam sandwich's and it rattles its tits off. But it is mint)

[172Ben]

There lardy and horrible, no better than the standard ones if you want support, but cost £900 for their sins as well.

 

[Hutchie]

[Bluebeard]

^^No your seats are good.

Shame what they're bolted too is a heap of turds.

Daniel, remember personal attacks/slander is frowned upon

 

[Bluebeard]

I don't care anymore.

Maz is frowned upon.

 

[Poopensharten]

What a spacker you are mate

 

[maz172cup]

yesterday, have my heart set on buying another fast little car - but after drving mine to the gym last night i change my mine and just realized how awesome the clio is.
but now Im indoors and im back to wanna try something else again.

 

[chris_p]

I miss my 172 cup

I now have over 100bhp more, double the torque, and an interior 10 x better, yet I'm half as happy...

Dont regret it though, now I know what a drivers car is. Low weight, sharp steering, high revving mayhem.

Next car options: e46 M3, dc5, s2k then get a 172 cup/vts again when it's buying a house time!

 

[Matt W]

I've had mine now for 2 weeks and it is such a brilliant car. Going round corners is grin inducing

 

[MarkCup]

I've had mine for 120,000 miles and I'm never getting rid of it.

Do they really drive that differently to a 182 though? Wouldn't of thought there would be a huge difference.

Not insured for other cars anymore but thanks for the offer

 

[Tyssen]

Awww thats rubbish

 

[The Boosh!]

I want a cup too

SWAP

 

[Jonff]

Great cars but they have a habit of indicating right alot

I've only ever driven the two Cups I've owned and a Trophy, never driven the 172 and 182FF so I'm not sure how different they drive. I just presumed there was little difference between them all.

 

[marc1330]

Last time i drove a 182 the difference felt like having a couple of lardy mates in the cup to me

 

[Jamie]

Well it's about 70kg in difference between the 182 and 172 Cup. The air con which is about 30kg is the majority of it (In one item). Turinis or lighter wheels should make a difference too so I don't think it's the weight. Maybe it's those coilovers on yours Chris, makes it handle a bit s**t.

I dont think there is any differnence between a 172 cup and a standard 172, well there isnt as I driven a standard. Not sure of the difference between a 182 and a 172 cup though

 

[Bloooor]

I'm feeling this way! I drove my mates whilst in germany and it felt so much better to drive!

I thought you was getting an Evo? After Gaz gave you a passenger ride in his.

Haha Rexe is 27! He can easily insure it! me on the otehr hand, still a minor at 22 so got another few years yet. but could die any day so need my exciting driving 'fix' which could come in the form of a monaco blue sprayed cup... lawl

 

[.GAZ.]

I loved my cup, no good as a daily hack tho!

 

[Gaz_]

Yes this thread is right. Just fitted a brand new wheel to mine, took out the seat/vibration mounts, (a good 10mm lower) and gone for a good drive. Bloody awesome machine tbh, and to think i was twitching about getting a CTR. Fail. I drive my sisters 182 (cuppacked) quite often and the thing i notice more is the noise and the more direct feeling of the Cup. It wins.

whaaaat!?

You need educating!

 

[Tyssen]

Or maybe Im just a s**t driver

Eh?

I did 100k miles in four years commuting 70 miles a day - if you mod it sure it's no good (mine isn't anymore) but as standard why don't you think they're any good as a daily hack???

 

[Chris n nic]

As above.....even the seats are mainly just a different covering with the insides mostly as with the cup bar lumber iirc

Looks like people are finally getting it Mark

Chris

 

[MarkCup]

I know, I know.

I'm just gutted I haven't got a spare double garage to buy a couple of minters and get them stored for when the current one finally passes on. By the time I do they'll all be badly modded, or just plain f***ed.

 

[at3k-]

Yeah love em, you know its a good thing when it still makes u grin like a chester cat .

 

[Gaz_]

Even now after having one for 3 years from 2004, then a 182 then a 197 and now back to a Cup, i love driving the thing. Sunny day, dry B road = win. Love the things tbh!!!
