[McBunny]

in the end of the day why would you do it you want a cup buy a cup you want a 172 buy ne you want a 182 you know what to do !!!!! if you buy a 172 and want to make it lighter by all means but dont say your making it into a cup or you will just get ridiculed by 172 and cup owners lol

what about the air con

A whopping 25kg there, but you aint likely to be ripping that out!







No but you should remove the belt driving it which will give you another 2-3 bhp cause even though the aircon is not on there is still a belt sapping power off the engine.

For the main part, altering a 172 so it is similar to the Cup variant would not be too hard.... finding the (lightweight) chip for your shoulder might prove to be one of the hardest parts to source....

Then again you could just buy a Skyline instead

Yozza what you have lost in weight by stripping the car you have gained by all the crap in the door pockets
