Mechanical revisions sound good, 0-60 should be interesting.

They've ruined one of the few things I loved about the 197, looks gash in the pics. Might be one of those that you need to see in the flesh.

Yep. They get quicker with miles. It's because more and more bits fall off, power to weight improves.

If the connector going into the pretensioner comes loose, the light also comes on.

Mine might actually be in a better state by wednesday!

Out the garage yet?

MX5. Cheap to buy/maintain/fix.

Um, don't you have a 1.2?

On the M42, about 16:30.

You could get that between 2 182's the engine's are so variable. Of the 5 rs's I've owned (2xph2 172's, 2x182's, 1x ph1) the first 172 ph2 was the fastest (by a hairs breadth), but there's bugger all between them.

The richbrook ball type with the slanted top is nice, had one in the trophy. You'll need to saw through the top of the current one.

You should get rid of the tt if you are seriously considering optometry, dispensing optician's car. Paupers.

Don't they have the same rear suspension as the compact? Love them though.

-1. Suits nothing. Horrid.

I arent a fan of the colour, but the work's spotless.

Unfair to directly compare a new car to one thats got tired dampers etc. A 172 on coilovers will be the better drive, no doubt.

Rob posted up some track tyres a couple of days ago, fair bit cheaper than r888's. Highly rated from what I've read.

I've had both. Don't do it. A coilovered 172 is a far better car. And the exhausts cheaper to replace when it falls off. And you won't get stranded by a flat tyre. And you'll get 10% more mpg out of the 172. Coilover+Remap+Seats (sell originals).

I think 4k easy given the condition.

No screws up the brake balance. There is a way of doing it, Tom IIRC has.

Once the cars sold, work out how much extra you had to pay on trader etc, give the rest back. Your not out of pocket, he's paid what he owes.

Get the Fred on the case. Supply him with Stella though.

At £50 it's worth it.

Ok, danke

Does the R26 have a jack/spare?

What happens with a flat? Mine's lower, but the 172 jack still fits?

No jack?

There was a matt black gallardo on the high st the other night. I just stood drooling for about half an hour.

There's a place in erdington that has the exact match, the wheel specialist IIRC.
