I'm now the proud owner...

It's too dark to take pics but the car is absolutely mint. Theres 2 tiny stone chips on it which are hard to see, that's it!

I'll get some pics up 2moro.

It's a keeper... I hope. It's gonna get decked, refurbed wheels in darker colour and possibly an uprated disc/pad package/lines and that's it. Might stretch to a panel filter but the engine is staying standard.

Well at least for now :) Unless I win the lottery.

It's so noticeably slower than my 200sx though and the throttle response is no where near as good as the old bodied 172 (which is to be expected) but I love it. It looks wicked, drives so smoothly, is quiet, really "chuckable" compared to my S14a. I keep waiting for the turbo to kick in but i'll be waiting forever. I've gotta start to drive it harder at lower revs again.

The guy that sold it was so sad to see it go. He was very attached to it.

It's blue.

Yea the mods above really set the cup off imo.
 
Wrong time to buy one, especially when you know you'll want to play ;)

I take it all back guv.
 
It says on the doors "Cup" but I don't see the letters "172" which i've seen on some badges on ebay???

Pics in the media section.

They've fallen off mate. Mine was missing a '2' on one side when I got it, and promptly shed the other numbers on that side when I washed it lol. Reckon it looks alright with just 'Cup' though; I took them off the other side to even it up (was gonna leave it like that, until the cup badges were removed for a respray)

Replacement badges (they're self adhesive btw) are £12.60 from Renualt IIRC. Although they go for more than that on ebay for some reason?! :S
