Would be very interested. Does the bumper only just cover the exhaust? If so, would probably be slightly exposed on a ph1 due to the shallower rear bumper.
No offence lad, but it's a show poney. Whats the point in a 'track' car that you don't use on track?
Get the interior back in, get a sensible exhaust set-up.
I've owned AST's, H&R's, and KW V2's. IMO, KW V2's are the best. For your car, you'd need to change the hubs for them (as they don't come in 182cup fitment).
Here's some for sale with the hubs etc, basically everything you'd need

If not get...
Don't want loads, just a useful amount. I seem to remember the CTR getting mullered on here for it's lack of grunt. And that's def got more than the 197.
If that float's your boat, cool. But I don't like the power delivery, in much the same way I don't like vTec (even though I appreciate how stunning vTec is).
It's a car that divides opinion, no doubt. Even when looking at the reviews, Autocar think it's fantastic, Evo think it lacks something...
Interiors not great at the moment. Messy, and the seat fabrics badly wearing on the bolster. Functional though, 320mm momo and a great driving position with the momo seats.
Buckets are pointless for a road car. Get some decent reclining sports seats, will do for track time and road use. Put some interior back in. Takes a few minutes to take the bits out. How many track days have you done?
You will need cams/itb's etc to hit 200bhp. I wouldn't get obssessed with outright figures, a good 190bhp will be faster and more useable than a bad 200bhp.
Be much faster with suspension and brake mods (cheaper too).
Not a great difference in age, so I'd imagine the cup will soon need all the bits mentioned. Standard for standard I imagine the cups the better drive.
