is there a cup 197 due?

[Dyewitness]

as title says..

 

[Christopher]

yes iirc

but don't think it'll be as raw as the 172 Cup

 

[R20 CWH]

do a search, been loads of pics of them at shows etc

 

[Munson]

The 197Cup is due towards the end of 2007 I think. It will definitely have the R27 suspension. I've also read that it will not have AC. If that's true then they are tools. Who doesn't want AC in a car these days? Maybe it will be an option.

 

[lee_cup]

yes iirc

but don't think it'll be as raw as the 172 Cup

nothing ever will be

 

[172Petey]

yes iirc

but don't think it'll be as raw as the 172 Cup

nothing ever will be

Ill second that!

 

[sys172cup]

yep nothin' will come close to the 172 cup...think the 197 cup comes out in august

 

[Munson]

Have any of you 172Cup heroes ever driven a 182?

 

[Dyewitness]

will it have any outward differences like spoiler? i really think the 197 needs something other than that half hearted bit of plastic at the rear

An engine?

yes

 

[Munson]

Have any of you 172Cup heroes ever driven a 182?

yes

And it didn't come close to a 172Cup? Besides actually not having an interior like my shed, and having AC?

Its the same as your shed (but with a better bus like steering wheel, and not one from a 1.2) and minus aircon

 

[R3OBC]

is the steering wheel SMALLER in the 182s??? i sat in a 182 and the wheel felt nice.........thats another thing that puts me off the 172s etc........the steering wheel off the Titanic

 

[Graham Gooch]

Same wheel in the full fat 182 IIRC

 

[Gaz_]

no. Its the same. In a 182 cup they dont even get a renault sport version.

 

[Gaz_]

Nope.

 

[Munson]

True, but it's he same wheel in leather without the horrid rubber bits, and is actually smaller from what I've read. Both are 2ft diameter and both suck

 

[Graham Gooch]

Nope what?

Yeah the 182 cup and ff have a different steering , but the ff172 and the 172 cup have the same wheel minus the cc buttons on it. The 182 wheel is from a dynamic IIRC.

 

[R3OBC]

aye but its the same diameter? thats what i mean

 

[R3OBC]

ah so the 182FF or with Cup PACKs has a smaller diameter wheel than the old 172 etc? the 182 with cup PACKs i sat in felt nice.........

 

[Graham Gooch]

FF172,172 cup and FF182 diameter is all the same size, pretty sure the 182 cup is too,

You said the 182 cup has the same wheel as a FF182. I said nope (first quote)

 

[R3OBC]

ah it must have just felt nicer because it was newer then......... The accord has the wheel from a 550 Maranello in it result

 

[Graham Gooch]

I thought he was talking about 172s! :s

 

[Gaz_]

FF172,172 cup and FF182 diameter is all the same size, pretty sure the 182 cup is too,

Yeah 99% sure they are all the same. A 182 with cup packs wheel is the same as my 172 cup wheel (minus split rubbers lol)

 

[Munson]

Either way, the 182 steering wheel is f**king shite

 

[Graham Gooch]

Either way, the 182 steering wheel is f**king s**te

Which is why pretty soon Ill order a sparco 383

 

[Munson]

Not a 197?

 

[Gaz_]

When relacing a wheel on a ff182, i take it cruise etc is lost? I never had any worries, bar airbag on my 172 cup

 

[Gaz_]

you two need a room

182Cup has the same features on the wheel, minus the scabby rubber.

 

[Gaz_]

but i'm getting a ff

 

[Graham Gooch]

No, I went out and bought a motorbike instead, plus there is lots of life in my 182 too, its just done over 54k engine is strong as feck. I love driving it. I now use the Cruise very little or not at all now. I am doing a couple of bits to it atm and will post pics in a month or two when its all done, not much but will keep it fresh. The cars never being sold now anyway. I'd actually like the original F1 megane maybe in two three years that said Ill probably get an R1 in a few years lol.

Meh I've had Roy.........

 

[Gaz_]

Meh I've had Roy.........

he's the taker then? PMSL

 

[Graham Gooch]

Lol!!!!!

Anyway.............. you can get a resistor to keep the airbag light off, non?

 

[Gaz_]

Yep x2 4 ohm iirc. Just wasn't sure what happened with cruise etc. It will be on my to do list. A 320mm is a must
