which 172?

[lawson706]

been eyeing up a 172 but not sure over ff or cup, what i really want is a cup with the recaro seats in. or a full fat in cup blue and those wheels.
can you get a cup with those recaros and if not how much roughly with a set off seats cost me to stick in the cup.
oh and what does phquick mean?

 

[kully]

ph-quick is the 172 mk2 phase 1 , recaros will cost around 1200quid give or take an arm or two


also you wont get a 172 in mondial blue , pretty sure you wont , anyway

 

[lemonnobby]

You sure hes talking about a 172, by the sounds of it hes been looking at 182s.

You can get a 172 Cup in Mondial Blue or theres a few in Iceberg Silver.

 

[kully]

Reference to recaro's would suggest he is indeed confused and meant 182.

Thanks Griff yea that what i thought and he said about having a FF in the same colour which to me means racing blue. as in 182 cup

 

[lawson706]

nope mean 172 i know the difference you fools but i mean the leather seat in the ff as the cup you get crappy ones. i know that the cup is blue thats the colour i want. (mondial blue)
i may have used the incorrect name for the seat. like the half leather ones with renaultsport write on. oh and the gear knob look shite aswell just a round ball are they all like this?

 

[lawson706]

oh and is it true you dont get traction control in the cup? if so is this been a issue to anyone with one?

 

[dale172]

oh and is it true you dont get traction control in the cup? if so is this been a issue to anyone with one?

you also dont get anti lock brakes, AC, Xenons (could be wrong on that one), spare wheel, pretty much loads lol

.......

awaits abuse and correction from cup owners

...... (plus cup owners think they are better than every one...which us FF's know just isn't true :rasp: )

 

[lawson706]

yeah i know about the ac, disc changer etc. anti lock brakes is a bit shitty not to have them. really confused now which to go for. the cups so sexy tho. never had ac before so wont miss that. why didntt they put those seats in the cup? grrr. theres no 172 trophy is there? think im clutching at straws with that question.

 

[dale172]

no only 182 trophy and its sexxxxxxxxx

 

[Sib]

get a FF, strip what you don't need, change the springs, buy some turini's and live with the fact is a micro second slower.

 

[lawson706]

yeah think i will. then respray in that blue. definetly gunna get the turini's.

 

[dale172]

[lawson706]

yeah i love that cup and those seats. so has the no anti lock brakes and no traction control been an issue for anyone?is there any insurance group differences between the 2?

 

[edde]

so has the no anti lock brakes and no traction control been an issue for anyone?is there any insurance group differences between the 2?

Yep its written loads of. People arn't used to not having it and expect ti to be there when they slam on the brakes and save them.

One insurance compnay had 1 in 5 of there cars they covered witten of in one year. Premiums are often higher on a Cup 172 than a normal one.

There no official insurance group change but insurance groups mean nothing anyway realy its how insurance see and some palce see the cup as a high risk.

 

[ABOO]

SBV116 your Cup looks pure sex, I'm liking a lot...

Edde behave yourself man!!! the lack of traction control / abs doesnt matter imo, if youre going to crash, your going to crash! it has no airbag either, safety feature = in the bin!, and its 2 less things to go wrong! and the sunroof doesnt rattle!

ABS and traction control have had something to do with many of the write offs. People just lock up and don't take there foot off.

Parr just turn the radio up with the sunroof.
