See, told you it was a good un, and not a show pony like some on here thought ;). You'll only gain 10bhp with bodies now ;) :rasp: (joke)

Agree lol. Ballache!!! My 197 needs doing, waiting for a sunny day lol. We may have one soon?? :S

I would for sure. Apparently my old Cup made 190bhp :approve: on a RR session last week!!! Maxogen, GrpN, inlets decat and exhaust. Fookin mint!!! Look best also. I had a 172 Cup, then a Cup packed 182. 172 looked the best, went the best, and imo is the best MK2 (probebly afer a Trophy, but...

Fook £50!!!!!!. I hate PC'ing. Give fantasic results, but its very slooow and with the noise and vibraton, very tiresome. We charged £100 for a day on a BMW 1 series. It takes a good day or so imo to get rid of marring etc. That said, results are impressive :)

Yep, i'd say p120 imo. I've used various grades over the last few weeks. That looks super coarse. 400 ftw

Imo yes. I had my Turinis refurbished in Anthricite, in powder caot form, and they were good!!!. Then after a year or so, i wanted them Silver again as imo it works better with the Mondial bluue of the Cup. When i got them back (again power coated in Silver) they were really flat and dull...

Ass FTW :approve:

Style and substance, love this car :approve: Powder coating is better for durability. Much tougher finish, needs less mintenance. Tend to look good in dark finishes. Sparying will give a more glossy finish, and if metallic, plenty of fleck/sparkle etc. I had some Turinis powder coated Silver...

Oh he's well versed in the TFR, he loves the stuff lol

Welcome to the world of dry hands, inhalation of paint fumes/dust and plenty of swearing/cursing

Fairy Liquid. Bubbles are soft on your hands too ;) Whats wrong with that Wurth stuff? Does a good job??

Fook me, there tatered!!!! I've just done two of my 197 ones, just curing before i fet them. What colour they going?

buh? I'm not defensive and upset at all? I have merely pointed out an ommision you made ;) For the record i have had a Cup and a 182 and the difference in straight line speed is nill. I had my 182 standard, against a mate in a 197 (standard) last summer. We found ever it was who stepped on the...

.... but in the end 4 tenths in it, hardly a can of whoop ass opened ;)

I really like the diffuser for some reason :o

Meh. Jap build ftw!!!!! Your getting your lass a Mini so she says?? :quiet:

GF needs a new car, i think a used one of these would be mint!!!! Perfect VTR repalcement. Do they come in white??

Mines fine with a hard 5k since i''ve had it. Now on 17k.... sweet as my friend. Yozza for tinitus ;)

You c**t ;)

Minter.. VXR looked well mind!! I'm one of the few who actually thinks the 197 lump is a peach. Sounds fantastic, much more refined than the MK2 lump

No i never had the Renault changer, although i had my Kenwood 6 disk under the passenger seat in the Cup. Just had the Renault single CD jobbie in the 182. The subframes are part Recaro with Renault sliders. Imo the changer will still be fine with Trendlines :)

Like to know where you got that from. Cup set up is 7mm lower than standard. H&R springs are approx 30mm lower on a standard car. So even my basic maths puts that @ around 23mm lower thn a Cup set up ;). Also LOL at the previous quote about the Cup being the best there is. I remember back in the...

In the old Cup Then transfered to the 182, And for people who say they are no lower than the crap standard seats, here's a during fitting pic, ;)

Its too much imo. Take 10mm or so off and it'll be reet. Problem is the hubcentric ones come only in 25mm, as these spacers first bolt to the hub, then the wheel bolts to the spacer. Less than 25mm means a normal spacer and wheel bolts are needed. If there were any positives in spacing out the...

Excellent!!! White does look soooo good. :) ^Still not convinced on the spacers imo. Looks too stuck out, pretty much level with the arch?? I run mine without and it looks fine, mine probably runs a wee bit lower on the front. I'd be slightly worried of the wheel 'grabbing' the front arch...

All coilovers will give the same looks effect. They are seldom dropped to a certain measurement, more a comprimise between suspension travel and ride comfort etc. My old Cup

Hardly tacky...... very subtle. Think more VXR for tacky, stick on spoilers slashes etc ;)

Tar remover. Best way i found is to squirt it under the bumpstops all the way along the car. Leave a good ten mins. Watch it dissolve/run off, amazing stuff. Then give the car a good SRP EPG to seal up the paint again :)

I hear you brother lol. Just had my first positive comment from a random chap at the petrol station before. It made me feel warm inside lol.
