just test drove a 172 cup!

cant complain about brakes. seem to do the job. if you know the car hasnt got abs and you aren't confident then who'd push on in the wet???
not saying abs is for girls just in day to day driving i hardly ever managed to activate it. but i have learnt the hard way so far more cautions now.

i would take it for a drive and get it to lock up and wangle some money off the price fo being faulty..... see what they say then.....

Good luck, just make sure you check it over properly and HPI it

It doesn't need to be wet for the brakes to lock up, you just have to be a bit more carefull until you get used to it. Also when I bought my car from a dealer in Hull he told me the car had only had one owner, when the log book turned up from DVLA it had six previous owners But I must admit I have done 14K miles in ten months and apart from the entire interior vibrating at low revs when cold and a weird clicking noise coming from the drivers door I cannot fault the car and the number of previous owners doesn't really bother me as I can't think of another car I would rather own, so mine is definately not going to be for sale for a long time yet.

Not all doom and gloom then? Good to hear that yours had that many owners and its A-ok. Hopefully the OP's Cup that he's looking at will be just as good.

yeh defos no ABS,got a cup myself and no ABS,think the brakes on them are the worst part about the car.

Nothing wrong with the brakes. Infact, their very good and certainly not a priority to upgrade unless your doing track days so you must have something wrong

seem to lock up very easy m8,mibee just a bit of getting used to a suppose.
