R26? Step-up from a 1*2, quicker and better to drive (IMO!) than a 197. I wouldn't buy a 197 now(or ever;)), as the residuals may take a hit when the 200 is released.

Once up to temp thay are fine, unless there's standing water involved. They can't clear standing water at all.

For road use, ABS is useful, end of. Cue a dozen CS hero's saying they've never locked up etc, but it only has to happen once for you to find it useful. I very much doubt there's more than a few people on here that would be capable of cadence braking and steering at the same time in an emergency.

That reminds me, I still need to test your eyes..................

It's a flattering angle, still gash IMO.

Doubt that'll change the horrendous front end!

I paid under £200 at the Birchdown boys.

Have you taken the washers out of the subframes? Lowers them down a bit.

ST's are really growing on me, I must be ageing!

If the same sort of cash, R26 IMO. Faster, bigger, similar MPG, massively more tuneable.

Pro-speed? Heard nothing but good things.

Fair enough. I love the exterior of mine, but the dash is gash.

I'd drive both and go from there. As a side issue, the ph1 has leather, AC etc, but keeps ABS and weighs pretty much the same as a cup IIRC. Of course you have a pretty average dash design to put up with, and they are older.

Exactly, it says write off, not wether it's a cat C or D!

Is it cat d? Doesn't say in the ad. Price doesn't seem horrendous given that it's had belts etc done.

H&R's are softer than AST's. KW's are softer than AST's (both on softest setting), I've been told by those that have used them all that KW's on there softest damping setting are similar to a Trophy set-up.

H&R's.

I've driven AST's, H&R's, will soon have kw v2's. For purely road use, I think H&R are a better bet than AST's. Nothing wrong with AST's quality wise, they just don't suit my driving, preffered H&R's. Going for KW's as I'm after something softer than AST's for road use that I can stiffen up for...

On mine, the plugs just went straight into the back of the airbag, easy to disconnect.

Yesterday (sunday) at about 3pm, @ 5ways island.

Fair enough, I'm actually looking forward to driving one of these. No chance of buying, but would like a go.

Bit of a difference. The 197 was a good looking car from day one. The 200 is not. The front end isn't cohesive, it just looks wrong.

I'd love an iphone, but the battery life would be a major no for me.

TBF, it's a lot more than a facelift. Different spring and damper rates (softer than 197 on the standard 200, but stiffer than the 197cup on the 200cup), quicker steering rack.

Despite the special-needs exterior, I'm more interested in this than the 197. Will def be getting a test drive.

Quicker steering rack on the cup sounds good

Awesome
