I haven't looked at car tyre prices recently so I'm unsure if the 'inflation' is the same as to what I am seeing with the van tyres! In 2020..... In 2021..... 2024 quote.......  

I've had 172 cups and used a 182 for a bit, and then had the 197. 172 and 182 great on fuel for what they are, and not bad drivers at all. 197 lovely drive, better handling, better brakes , soooo comfy with the Recaros but underpowered and crap on fuel in comparison. Swings and roundabouts...

He has another accident damaged Lotus Carlton as well

This chap has got a few

Ive got a rusty Mk5 GT Tdi. Had it 18 months originally as a runaround. Rusty wings, rusty sills, rusty boot, but it was remapped and had a lot of other new bits in the last 3 years like starter, battery, alternator etc. I had to get the belts done though as it looked like it was going to snap...

Remember the one I used for Sprints and Hillclimbs. That had done over 170k miles, was bog standard and when I put it on the rollers out of curiosity at efi it still had 160bhp. Serviced and belts done it wouldn't bother me.

Depends whether you want it for competition or just as a track car. Competition then need through dash due to rule change. Track car then dash dodger perfectly fine

Brothers misses is thinking of selling her 197 Cup 2007, 134k miles, white, 200 rear diffuser, black alloys, 2 new PS4 tyres on front, 25mm spacers, scorpion exhaust with extra silencer. Powerflex engine mounts, standard engine. Recaro seats had new covers, gaiter and wheel retrimmed, dab cd...

From a Hillclimb point of view Prescott is a good venue

I put the PIAA dual tone sport horns on mine. Need to put some on the van too as that one is crap.

Havnt actually got that many pics of my old one. Always hated having to have mudflaps on it.

I originally looked at hiring to do IOM but just built a new car instead. At least with buying or building a car you should always still have value in it when you move on. Think if i was going again i would look at a quick 1400 something as cars generally closer in the class. As soon as you go...

Hope youve got deep pockets. I miss motorsport but not the faff and expense that went with it.

Clwyd Auto Electrical sorted my cup Alternator

Leave them all there, get some HRX. Really comfy and better price. https://www.lhmotorsport.co.uk/?product_cat=fia-seats Bryn lives by Mold
