Cup Versions?

[Waddler]

What's the difference between the regular and cup models? Thanks

 

[Matt]

Cup has stiffer and lower suspension, no air con and a fixed rear bench (as apprised to sliding rear seats). It's meant to make it weigh less and therefore combined with the suspension tweaks make it the quicker car. In theory anyway. In reality it's not really quicker but then again I don't think there have been any direct comparisons.

Think that basically covers it?

The 17" wheels and spoiler?

I've owned rock hard suspension'd cars and find the sport to be fine with no significant bodyroll so its a great compromise.

If i was buying new i'd go for the cup as im sure the stiffer suspension on a track at least would give a little more cornering confidence if little else.

Plus cup is cheaper.

Ah yes the wheels, how could I forget? The cup wheels look mucho bettero

Spoiler doesn't come with the cup on the old model, not so sure on the new model?

I'll have to have a read up and update the sticky post if the new facelifted model equipment has changed.

Some people can't search, some people won't search and others don't know theres such a thing. I did have a little laugh this morning, when first seing this but Matt had already answered

Thanks guys....non Cup for me it is as I need a folding rear seat.

 

[Twingojoe]

Or you could buy a cup and use the saving to buy a set of folding rear seats?

Just a suggestion...

are the rear seatbelts and sidetrim panels the same for bench / split seats?

 

[Twingojoe]

Didn't think of that...still cups are quite a bit cheaper than non-cups are they not?

I bought 2nd hand so haven't a clue :S

The Cup rear bench does fold down to allow for larger storage space but the non-Cup has two seperate seats that slide independently.

Well you can if you want to but not using the general forum search. Which pretty much ever newcomer will wouldn't they? Seems a pointless rant to me...

the cup has a folding rear seat, just not a split fold. I looked into doing the seat swap on my rear seats and there is a few holes in the floor pan that looked to be in the wrong place ...... although my knowledge is based on a photo of a 133 with the seats up

*EDIT - I really should learn to read post all the way through - sorry to those who said what I just said before me *
