Cheers guys. Turns out the garage that I bought it from are sound and am taking it to have full geo setup tomorrow and then going from there.

Re: 197 Pro's and Con's People who say the flat spot isn't there are liars or haven't tried accelerating from a cruising revs of 2000-2500rpm. It's noticeable accelerating with wot from below those revs but is accelerating from that point in the rev range.

Re: 197 Pro's and Con's Induction kits lose power, not just your typical OMGz u haz an open cone filta, u gonna get heat soak bad innit, type of losing power either, they really just dont work. You can go for a custom reworking of the induction side of things if you replace/move the battery...

Re: 197 Pro's and Con's Brakes - Braided lines, new fluid and performance pads, dont need anything else as they are epic standard imo. Handling/Lowering - Eibach springs or selection of coilovers BHP - Wouldnt touch it unless going all out for ITBs etc. Induction kits and exhausts cause...

Re: 197 Pro's and Con's Mine made 180bhp at TDF with a crap exhaust on and running on 95ron. Had a play with a member in his old 182 and nothing in it.

Issue with boost is it's 'easy' to get more power which then results in issues.

Re: 197 Pro's and Con's Prefer the standard cup wheels, maybe raiders though ;)

Re: 197 Pro's and Con's Con: low to mid 20s fuel consumption. Pro: everything else. I miss mine a lot.

Plenty. Another vote for the charger.

1.2s can just as quick as 172s anyway, just ask Fred!

This thread keeps making me look on ebay for engines I dont have a car for yet :( On topic, you should get the boot spoiler only imo, that with feed arches and maybe some bigger/brighter wheels will look epci.

Signals not seemed anyworse than normal.

I use EGP :o

Have to keep an eye out for you. We are staying at sliders guest house.

No worries chap.

Main thing the 200cup has that the none cup pack doesnt is the quick rack, which could be retrofitted, but expensive to do. IMO just order one with the cup chassis if you really want it. Thuogh if its road use only, I wouldnt bother.

Give it some lows and a set of ITBs and some new wheels and it would be epic imo

How much for the other seat? PM me if you want.

Get your inlets matched.

EGP is a sealant and does the same kind of thing as a wax.

Good thing he has a Mac ;) Just I dont have a mac :(

it is ESSENTIAL to use a sealant or wax after polishing!

Shampoo, Super resin polish and Extra Gloss protection. Little over budget but a decent starting point for detailing there.

my friend recently acquired the full CS5 suite, shame its for Mac though :(

It's not torque steer. Any other ideas?

They would both be exaggerated by outright speed though, which it isn't. It's ok cruising, but much worse when accelerating.

Just picked up a new (used) car and it's pulling to the right quite heavily under acceleration and a tiny amount when cruising. Likely causes? Diff? Driveshaft? Anything I can check myself tonight before taking to the garage tomorrow? It's going back for couple other minor bits as well which has...
