Chris - i too have a filthy cup!! I have just rebooted all my tyres with Gooyear eagle F1 GSd2 s i have put on 205 tyre as it fits fine on the std Cup rim so now i have 182 size boots on.. Still bedding them in just over 200 miles before i let rip on em... I have to say they are rather good...

All that matters to me is they are quicker than the 182... now i have a set of Eagle F1 Goodyear gsd3 205 45 16s on each corner I am happy with my 182 stance - and 69kg lighter quicker CUP ....(hides)

No takers then...? no retorts or the usual smart comments about lack of ABS or the road markings were icy, or blaming the recently gritted roads...i am suprised..... Perhaps i am just correct in many cases... So be it or shoot me down!!!

Methinks inexperience - because some of the excuses for the crashes seem pretty lame... (Yes i know i am about to get sl*gged off...BUT) you cant just drive these things like a 1.1 fiesta .... From my experience now i am 30 i had to make do with driving my parents cars until i could afford my...

Cheers for your help guys (JUST the 3 of you!!) thought i would get a little more input than that about something as imprtant as tyres!! At least it gives me a bit to go on... hope i can stay on the road till i make my choice.

Help please guys! I need a new set of rubber for my fronts But am considering changing all four tyres…. After much ringing round yesterday, and going off previous rubber I am still not much wiser for what to go for? My fronts are barely legal after 10k (std fit Contisports), I had these on my...

Mk2 172 1110kg = 155bhp/ton Cup 1021kg= 168bhp/ton 182 1090kg= 167bhp/ton Civic type R 1204kg (200bhp) = 166bhp/ton So Eddes post is load o balls!

In 2005 when the 200bhp version comes out i dont think it will be as good- ONLY because cars are getting bigger & safer & heavier It may well have 200bhp + but i bet it will have enough airbags to make a bouncy castle out of..yawn.. Get a thrill from driving, i know if i think i dont have all...
