Thought id ad a couple after todays hard efforts. De stickerd so i can get a rotary on it, im sure all of CS will be pleased lol :p
Raised roughly 8mm at the front and scrubbed all the arches, which ive never done! Couldnt believe the difference, so much grey/brown crap rinsed off!
Anyway..
Did you sell an e46 to by a clio to buy an e46 lol?! Amazing how some cars get you, and some dont grip you as much as you'd hoped. Nice to see a good write up on a 197 for a change rather than then its fat and crap lol! All the best with the new one mate :)
My mate has just picked up a 56 plate nimbus, one owner, 54k on the clock, belts done, serviced. Its mint!!! £5200!!! Nothing wrong with the car, only option it doesnt have is xenons!
There are a few proper bargains!
Lol its quite hard to keep it stealthy in ly ;) But i no what your saying, they will come off when its detailed with a machine polisher. They went on at trax last year just for the show, but i liked them so left them. At least they go with the colour scheme, and this is my toy after all so not...
Bet that will be mental in a ph-1, i'll be keeping an eye out ;) when u getting it done?
Not sure what the kits cost is, think jamsport will release those figures. Ill get some vids up over the weekend when i can get a chance :) Sounds silly good at full chat lol!!
Awesome mate!!! What is your redline? What psi is it running? Im forging mine in may, undecided if ill up the boost or not, if i do it wont be much at all, but i want the 7.8k rev limit. Love the way they drive, still feels like NA acceleration but just relentless!
There was another sunflower at jamsport that was charged that looks just like yours there recently.
Yeah i think its that charger, really packs a punch!! Are u running the same?
Cheers mate
Yes yes i no, no comment on LY either lol ;)
Craig yeah it was, was yours at jamsport recently?
I prob will get rid of the stickers when it gets machine polished. Erm..it didnt cost me much lol
Here is my supercharged R27, had it back since the weekend, its epic!! 260bp and 250 ft/lbs!!! So fast, relentless acceleration!!! Here is some pics of it and my 182.
Leave the comments on the stickers, i had 57876256378172 sheep comments on my last thread. I get the idea but tough lol...
I use my 182 on track, with michelins, pro line springs, rear ARB and camber bolts it's very cabable!! Wanna upgrade the pads but that's it. You'd be suprised how composed and the level of grip on offer as standard!! As long as it has oil in it and is sound you'll be fine :)
Love how there's so many people giving advice that have never heard/driven or knew they existed lol!!
I had one of the 1st akrapovic systems and they are amazing!! The sound is addictive and low down / midrange is so much better, you can notice the performance difference instantly!! Will fit...
Once you spend some time with the mk3's you realise how good they are. The mk2's are brilliant cars but the new models do it all better imo. Maybe another test drive or 2 will get you more settled :) Ive got both and they are different drives, much prefer my r27 but still never disappointed...
Im getting this out of my 182!! I dont get much worse in my 197, think the '40 mpg all day long brigade' must drive at 40 everywhere!! Never seen anymore than 35/36 in the 182 doing no more than 70 on a run, is mine broke lol!?
I did a track day in my 182 yesterday at cadwell park and noticed on the way home the exhaust was making a loud whistle type sound. It sounds like a standard 182 noise but only much louder? Belts are fine, oil is fine and no loss in power. Sounds like its coming from the front of it as well?! I...
Ive got both. The 197 is the better car for me. Feels just as quick but power is a little higher but it revs much nicer i think and handling/brakes are spot on! Both fantastic and different drives but the 197 does it for me.
How do you find your pads? Mine were fading quite fast as mine are standard. I've just got camber bolts, proline and rear ARB and zaust. I was impressed also, just the brakes let it down a little.
