Hi Paul, and welcome, Plenty of help on here if you need it. I am up near Thurso.

I will be selling my Recaros, but looking for some fibreglass recliners. The recaros are very comfortable, but very heavy,

I used the Schroth fittings, but wondered on the strength of the tangs, so harness now have eye bolts.

Welcome, plenty of knowledge on here if you ever need help/advice.I had an R26R, lovely car, but sold as I was putting too many miles on it.

If you can afford it, and it is what you want, go for it and enjoy.

Contact ianplymouth on RS Megane,if anyone knows, he will.

I used an electric drill, and a small wire brush attachment, on the end of the extension. I do this about once a year.

I admit to a mid life crisis, at nearly 80 years old, its about time I grew up, but only after I have spent two days at Spa in May!.

Sorry mossy, I misunderstood.

My 197 has. I removed the rear seats/seatbelts, leaving light on dash. Being very delicate, it was difficult to get good fit, so I used the ends of safety pins into the resistors to help with good contact, taped up, and no problems since.

I run a Clio 197,on both road and track. From what you are saying, a Standard 197 might be just what you are looking for, just look for the usual things, when buying an older car.For track, change the pads,brake fluid, go and enjoy. Go to a track day, speak to people, just to see if that is what...

A credit to you young man.

Driving from Thurso to the ring, is around 1200 miles one way in my Meglio, so I've kept the heavy Recaros,( For now.) and the aircon.At my age, I need a bit of comfort. One of the group runs a Caterham R500, but trailers it there.

I spent many hours in my youth, lapping in valves, and If I has £1 for every collet that pinged past me, never to be seen again, plus several permanent scars around my eyes?. AH the good old days.
