[edde]

Keep the RS1 I would the only advantage the Cup has its more modern looks different and no ABS.

[ben_p]

[Gaz_]

[ben_p]

adtmits is gay though

 

[Gaz_]

hhhmmmm i beg to differ, a cup imo is a better car to start on if being modded engine wise

 

[stokedRich]

love the pic of your Kentucky fried brakes...actually I'm gay for letting a valver get in front of my Cup @ FCS...(pic courtesy of Davecli02 photography inc.) I did of course, catch and pass, it would have been rude not to with over 60BHP advantage...

Adam - you have changed your Avatar (again) what's the story? I've just been to luck @ a new 225 Meggy @ Lookers in Chester, it's a black Cup but I nearly sh*t myself when I saw the price...£19995

 

[edde]

hhhmmmm i beg to differ, a cup imo is a better car to start on if being modded engine wise

Same engines realy, the 172 phase1 is the better engine in many ways as it will not use the trbo head which is a slight restriction on power Vrs the later 172 head.
The Mk1 has the proper cable throttle which is IMo miles better and a worthwile upgrade.

 

[ben_p]

well said

 

[edde]

The phase 1 does have an A/C pump to deal with but thats no huge loss. Even then some cups came with A/C
Phase1's are very often the quickest.

 

[Gaz_]

aye, but no air con, lighter car to start with, shorter ratio gear box helps too!

 

[stokedRich]

Ben, best thing to do m8 is get in a Cup and take it for a drive...I'm sure it will convert you...(question is into what, mine turned me into a bit of a maniac)...If you are in my area one evening GMAS and we can have a little car swap...I wouldn't mind a go in a Ph1, nice roads round by us (Edde/Gt gaz) too...beleive it or not there is a guy selling one @ the garage in Holt for £7995!!!

 

[Iain C]

id keep the mk1
