I agree with what you say, my friends 998 mini is a hoot! But he wishes he saved the ridiculous money spent on chassis an suspension to go towards a different car! I just couldn't personally bring myself to forking out a fortune on handling upgrades and having them properly set up on something...

Yeah I get that but insurance would be far kinder to lowering and wheels than a 1.7t conversion. And as for handling who cares its a 1.2 he's never gonna be putting good times in on the ring is he!

Just focus on some nice hoops and seriously low height Don't lie to insurance kid, it only takes one slightly clued up copper to look under the bonnet to see all the miles of hoses and pipes the 1.7t's seem to have and realise its not a 1.2!

I went the other way round haha! handling wise, they are easier to drive. But by no means better! It a matter of what you want really, if you want a refined and easy to drive car with creature comforts and that's ideal on long journeys (despite the chronic MPG) then a 197 is great. After...

Picked a leaf off it, f**king trees.

I'd get the RX7, using the £1700 saved on insurance as a reserve for any mechanical troubles!

Averaged 39.8 with mixed driving in the 172 cup! And that was figured out via calculations, trip computers are always ambitious.

Hi all, Intending on fitting my GAZ coilovers this weekend for the Malton big breakfast meet on Sunday. My question is, would 40-45mm drop be feasible baring in mind my K-tec stealth centre section hangs a tad low (from research appears to be a common issue :() obviously you can only try...

There's no way you can 'make it' pop and bang with out having a map, but you'll find it's more likely gonna happen on over-run after you've been ringing its neck.

Sounds great! Been to every one for the last two years never disappoints, anyone remember the mustang crash :headno:

Normal really.. Don't do any research about it as it'll have you thinking you need an engine rebuild haha

Has this car come from over seas maybe!? And check fault codes, my first bet would be the coil pack/HT leads/Sparkplugs

I have the Ktec Stealth fitted and sagging/destroying mounts and generally not sitting well has plagued me the last month. In the end I've stumped up for a Prima Racing rear exhaust mount (which has replaced a socket bodge OEM mount AND two powerflex universal mounts), and also replaced the...

My old 197 struggled with 29+ MPG with mixed driving :(

60mm drop on standard shocks will quickly destroy them, ride comfort would be the least of your worries! Edit: Apex 40mm or something of the sort would be ok, I'd personally save for some cheapy coilies though!

I'd leave the platforms in, just remove the adjusters. You may run the risk of loosing your back springs if you dukes of hazard it over a hump. :approve:
