Trophy or cup

[Fletcher]

I'd go for a 172 cup.

 

[Peperami]

In fact, for about a tenth less driving fun, yet slightly less cash and a whole lot more comfort id pick a 182 with cup packs.

 

[Graham Gooch]

182 full fats with cup packs FTW.

lee-mc i wouldnt say its quicker but its just a better drive imo the hole package i find is much more refined and feels better when your driving it! hard to say, It would be a good idea to go look at them in the flesh have a drive its down to what you like the look of as trophy is a little diffrerent than most 182s colour and ride due to it having stiffer suspension..

 

[Lee-mc]

i heard the trophy's don't have xeon headlights, is this true???????

Yes true, and manual aircon as well, instead of digital climate control.

 

[Steve]

Ok so if i go for a 182 with cup packs, what mods would you recommend??

Sach dampers, recaros & anth turinis :butt:

Forget the mods, drive it get used to it then take it to a trackday & see what it can really do

 

[Lee-mc]

I suppose its all about driving experience rather that comfort with toys!!

 

[Lee-mc]

are there many trackdays that you all go to???

 

[Steve]

Cadwell on the 18th is the next RS one.

 

[Lee-mc]

suppose u have to be a member to go, how much do they usuly cost???

 

[Lee-mc]

what is best on track, 182 cup or trophy??

 

[foxon]

i heard the trophy's don't have xeon headlights, is this true???????

neither does the 172 cup , go get 1! imo the cup will be atad quicker on track cause of less weight but the trophy`s do come wiv better suspension as stardard :dapprove:, wish i ad the trophy suspension on mine but don`t fink they wil fit :S + cost`s dollar!!

 

[foxon]

Cheers foxon, motors lookin good

thanx lee, wil look better when finished

 

[Lee-mc]

Can't the lights be changed????

 

[foxon]

no point imo, the blasis (spelling?) for the xeon`s weighs quite abit.

 

[Lee-mc]

Fair point foxon,its just mine aint got em and they do look good!!

For the weight differential, and the fact you don't want to have that .1 second advantage they are a benefit in my book too.

 

[Lee-mc]

does anyone know what size the trophy wheels are and is it wise to change them for bigger ones that look the same?????

 

[Graham Gooch]

16" wheels like all the ph2 renaultsport clios.

Bigger is a definite no no, in fact many people go smaller i.e 15"

 

[Lee-mc]

Yer, mines got 15". just wish they were bigger

 

[foxon]

[Lee-mc]

Well after hearing what everyone has said, i think i might go for the trophy but not just yet!!!
