172 cups dont have the metal hook - its a weight saving excercise & RS engineers deemed it too hard to try and hang keys from said hook when wearing racing gloves. Another reason why 172 cups are bad boy.
Got in the car today, night before i left the handbrake off - drove off nicely smug. Remembered been nursing car around last few days on fumes, trip computer has been showing --:-- for a while so best go get some juice, friggin lock on fuel cap frozen.

Car has been looked after, interior is in good nick, steering thumb grips intact, seats all tidy, front fogs not cracked. No untoward engine noise (belts all quiet, pas pump quiet, starts...
Op are you finding this thread useful lol? Finding tires YOU like is an expensive headfuck. Just remember what you have tried and in 3 years or so you can then post what you prefere to someone who is about to go through the same. Nightmare!
If you dont plan on tracking it i'd recommend Uniroyal Rainsport 2's. Brilliant in the wet.

Noticed my passenger side front tire is shamefully bald, its worn evenly but is more noticeably worn than the drivers side, the drivers side still being legal.
2x Uniroyal RS2's ordered @ £66 each delivered, hoping it helps the car feel more planted. Ive read on here that unevenly worn fronts...
Tyre pressures - front drivers side had 17psi! Good valet and did £20 super this afternoon. The exhaust sounds a bit angrier after a good thrash - i like this :D
Came up behind a young lad on L plates giving a DTR125 some stick. Love that smell - theres no way it was restricted! Pretty nippy...
Quite fancy a 9-3 Aero 2.8t for a daily. Stealthy and nearly 400lb when mapped. Plenty of bargains out there with sensible mileage, strong engine, box and single turbo set up.
Weekender would be a sorted Evo 6, can see these going the same way as Intergrales in a few years. I'd imagine it easy...
Hi, i want to refresh the front end and need to buy some bits.
I'm thinking new wishbones, ball joints and track rods/ends.
Is a complete lower arm the wish bone & ball joint or am i barking up the wrong tree?
I'm thinking lower arm + track rods/ends
Or is it Lower arm + wishbone + track...
The recent wet weather ive got a new found respect in the Cup - dont take the P in the wet. Sounds like a silly question but its my daily and ive a few jobs and want to sort my priorities. With the budgets up front its rhubarb. Proper crap. Planning on fitting some RS2'S...
The problems are...
