thanks for all the kind comments lads and nice one topher for clearing up the whole 172-182 stuff lol
It really is a great drivers car, similar to the ek9 its very racey and great acceleration as well.
I am going to the ring next year with a few friends after we graduate so heres hoping it makes it home safe and sound
Its gonna be such a laugh in that car at the ring mate, bet you're wishing the day's away till that trip
172 Cup is the model that came without ABS, the reason insurers hammer them more than the other models I think is probably more to do with the dickheads who bought them thinking it was some stripped out rally special and promptly put it rubber side up into the nearest ditch as a result of their ego being greater than their talent.
In truth yes they are lighter and have different suspension set up to the regular 172 but there's nothing in it in a straight line.
I had a 172 then a 182 and tbh I loved the things despite the ill informed french shitbox comments people make. Mine were both bulletproof and a joy to own. I debated long and hard about parting with my 182 for the EK but decided it was time for a change, still miss some of the toys, most of all the xenons. I do agree on the seating position, it's the cars biggest weakness imo.
Looking good Dan! One of the lads from work just bought one in the orange colour that they come in, deffo pulls well!
