Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

UPDATEEEE!!

Got 2 new stickers for the rear quarters. Got some speedline and magnetti marelli stickers...

Also got the cs trax sticker put on the rear window...

I bought a oreca suede 300mm steering wheel off my mate Tom so fitted it with my momo boss...

Had a really good time at Trax, was a lot better than last year. Here's a couple of pics as I didn't take many but I have some videos to upload aswell...

I did the 0-60mph sprint and had 3 goes. The first and second was when the track was wet so was hard to not wheel spin and got the below results...

I then left it a couple of hours for the track to dry abit and gave it my final try...

Needless to say I was very happy with the time I got. I also have a video of the first and last run I did which I'll upload shortly.

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

If I followed the line of the moulding it would of looked wonky so the stickers are straight but if you flow the line of the moulding then they appear on the piss. I'm hoping to get on track sometime in October

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

looks like a cool project dude! in true me fashon ive only looked at the pictures!

have you had any power mods?! im trying to work out how youve got the 0-60 time so low! cant get that from just stripage and breathing mods!?

^+1

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

No other power mods. Must just be a good strong engine. It's on 95k aswell bless her. If i race my mate who has a 172 (not cup) mine is a fair bit faster and he has the same mods so it must be down to weights on the cups. I can still shed another 20kg's easily without going fiberglass panels and polycarbs Which I will be doing later on. Priority at the moment is getting the cambelt/dephaser done.

 

[tommy g]

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

Just paid for 438 catcams, cambelt kit with dephaser, ktec induction, denso iridium spark plugs, white line rear antiroll bar kit, and remap. It's being booked in with ktec tomorow and hopefully it will be early October, carnt wait!

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

Would look better without all of the stickers imo.

 

[Zmaster2k]

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

agree tbh

 

[tommy g]

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

I am seriously debatting getting rid of them. I like them it's just I think they would look so much better on a non metallic colour like white or rb etc. hmmmmmm going to have to have a think.

Dude you'll be smiling from ear to ear when you've had them fitted. 438's and the ktec induction are a good combo :cheers:

[tommy g]

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) Cooksport Cup Racer Rep

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G)

did I just hear you used T cut ? I hope i heard wrong lol

 

[tommy g]

Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G)

I know I know. The paintwork was hazzy before anyway so the t-cut has made it alittle better but if I got it machine polished then I wouldn't use t-cut obvs.
