My long awaited 172 Cup!

[Day]

Here it is, had lots of people asking me across different forums asking if I had bought the new car yet so it now pleases me to officially announce my new purchase!

Just a few pics taken tonight after a day at Rentech...

Mods: H&R Coilovers, Carbon splitter, Prospeed Exhaust and go faster stickers

A lot of people have asked me for a comparison between the Cup and my Ph1 172. The Cup feels easier to drive, the clutch is a lot lighter, the accelerator pedal feels light compared to the Ph1 which feels really tight when I hop back into it. Speedwise, the Ph1 feels similar through the lower gears, it's only when in fourth and fifth gear you really feel the Cup pull hard towards silly speeds.

Overall, I reckon I made the right decision, the cup suits me perfectly and I'm really chuffed to bits with it

I'm even getting used to the lack of aircon!!

not 100% on the pro speed bud, it looks a bit wonky ?


has it had some love from you and ady yet ?


looks very good though, mark fish stickers look spot on

 

[fUbAr]

far too average for my liking...

Reflection/Camera angle, it's not wonky mate, you have seen Charlie's work!

Seats will make it look 'special'

Standard ones were meant to be binned anyway

Looks spot on, think this has made my mind up I want a Cup over a FF now!

Whats the ride like with the H&R's?

Sexy!

 

[Day]

Whats the ride like with the H&R's?

It's good, seems to be enough rebound to prevent them from crashing. I'd say the ride is better than on lowering springs/standard shocks.

 

[Mikey]

whats wrong with light weight?

car looks ace Day.

 

[M40 CUO]
