Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Door pillar badges are now off!

When I bought the car it had 'cup' but the '172' part was missing; bought replacements that last all of a month or so, so I've removed it all now :)

Cheers, I usually use dodo juice supernatural wax :)

Last lot of photos was Auto Glym super resin polish and extra gloss protection.

This might have been covered already, but I didn't realise 172 Cup's could come with a/c and climate control?

It's an Olympus SLR, nothing particularly expensive :)

They've just had the lightness channel sharpened

Not really an update, more that I've given it a well needed clean this morning and thought I'd be a photo ***** ;)

I can't remember the exact size off the top of my head, but I used the guide in the guide section on here; written by Revels iirc :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

Been thinking of getting some Recaro Pole Position's

Ideally, I could do with still gaining access to the rear seats, but I do fancy fixed buckets :dapprove:

I believe they side mount, is there any solution that would allow access to the rear? Or, am I going to have to opt for reclining sports seats instead?

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

With regards to plans for the car now; Recaro Pole Positions, JMS RS2 inlet and Wilwood's ;)

That'll keep me busy/happy over the coming months anyway...!! :)

I had my insurance renewal to pay out for earlier this week too, which had increased a little this year to £850, despite now having 5yr no claims and no points, etc. Seems to be a common thing that insurance prices have heightened this year :dapprove:

Yeah mine's about £200 more than last year! Annoying, but sadly a necessity! :(

Yep, Turinis have gone; I only have my 2118's now :)

These plans sound good mate!!

Seriously though, PP's are my favourite fixed buckets, that JMS intake just looks amazing let alone what it'll do to the performance!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project

haha, I don't want anymore turinis...much prefer the 2118's... :D

PP's and 4-pots will be soon I would think, then the JMS intake a little later :)

I'm not really in a rush to get it all done though, I'm happy with how it's driving and looking and really enjoying it at the moment :cool:

Lovely car

But more interested in your name, I'm Oliver James as well and you obviously have a surname starting with a 'C' as well, how strange.

Can we marry?

love your car. how come you went with 15" alloys to replace the 16" standard?

I've always been a fan of Speedline 2118's; figured I was just about low enough to pull them off!

I read a good few report on here beforehand of people changing to 15s and favouring the feel! Having had them for a little while now, I'd agree with that too! :)

Also, can't grumble at the prices of 195/50/15 tyres! ;)
