id go for the 225 cos its bigger and more practical (and i wanna chuck bikes and diy stuff in the back.
That said the 182 will be alot more fun to drive esp on track if thats your bag.
Oh i hate the 182 trophy red too
ah yeah course its 72k for timing belts. for some reason i thought it was 60K. In that case i doubt its done.
I guess 500 quid should cover a cambelt service on a 197?
Ive had my eye on it for a while now (its been on the trader for about a month) and it was priced at 7.5k at the start...
Yeah its gotta be mway miles.
Ill prob chuck another 10-12k on it over the next year then sell it on.
That will make it about 80k. lol If i was only doing 5k a year id be all over it tbh.
Might go and see it on the weekend. 07> have better/taller gearing iirc
Looking at one on the auto trader.
2007, red, 1 owner, fsh (im assuming the cambelt has been done) and its up for 6990. Is this still too much?
I dont usualy worry about milage but this is very high! lol

I had the same problem with the fst. Great looking and nice inside but it was just boring. Found the same was true with the lcr, 225 trophy.
Now i want an r26 but ive never driven one and wonder if a 197 would be the better bet?
The gearing did worry me a little (the gearing on my old swift sport was rubbish, it drove me nuts).
What sort of rpm is it pulling at 70/80 mph in 6th?
It will mostly be used on A roads with a little dc thrown in.
