Where does the 182 gain the 10PS over the 172?

[TimR26]

Yes they're standard, it's only 172 Cups that have poverty spec seats.

 

[Lee-182]

Mine has 8 gears

Not true. If you don't go out of 1st gear, the ph1 pulls away.

Also not true. Have driven both

182 is worse and dosnt even have a Renaultsport melty steering wheel or sill plates. Major poverty.........

 

[JCC]

The turbo.

172 + sports cat = win

 

[Gaz_]

172 + decat, better

Title says it all, are the engine internals slightly difference?

The 182 has a bigger VTEC flange than the 172

You get poverty spec seats in a 182 Cup too. To my mind, they're actually a much better shape than the full fat seats (172 or 182). As I say though, that's just me. I really don't get on with the full fat seats.

That's odd as they're the same seats. One in cloth, one in leather.

Having had both, they do feel different, not sure why! The plastic one's feel softer, the cup one's felt firmer.

I thought it was the VVT engine.:rasp:

They may be the same frame but the bolsters (and hence overall seat shape) certainly seem to be different. All I can say is that I've never managed to get properly comfy in a Full Fat (172 or 182) but the Cups I've tried (both 172 and 182) struck me as much more comfortable places to be. I'm always more comfortable in a cloth seat, though this may be some kind of bad subliminal memory based upon a chilhood spent with the joys of Alfatex though...
