Nah, this one aint for sale

Fine, until you actually get towed by it and get damage to the grill/bumper.

Standard towing eye chopped so its just past the plastic grill then has a bolt welded onto the end, tow strap then secured onto that with a nyloc nut and washer.

Just stick an aftermarket adjustable bios valve in there

Nice to meet you on saturday @massivewangers , glad you enjoyed your passenger ride. The videos havnt come out too great but may be able to adjust the light settings when I upload them properly. Have to say, they were some of the wettest conditions that I have ever driven quickly on. Some pics...

Its very wet and slippy out there. Still good fun though.

Certain wheels were really awkward, Compemotive MO were the worst

(Insert hovis advert music) When i were a lad, we only had one of those manual tyre changers. They work all right in all fairness. Competition tyres with hard sidewalls were awkward though.

Perhaps they should run a sprint rather than a hillclimb. Bet there is some great roads for that down there.

Dont see much challenge in that route as a hillclimb. Seriously short too. At least its brought motorsport out to the people though.

Had my stuff through today, few bits to sort but im looking forward to it

Trophy spotted in Bala

s**t. If I had known, I could have given you a ticket as I will probably have a spare (get 4 with the entry). Havnt checked the weather yet but I am hoping to get from work a bit earlier to go down on friday evening and camp as its a good 3 hrs from here too.

Perhaps i shouldn't offer you a passenger ride then.........?

Come and buy it!! Lol

Well I have entered so I am taking the Clio down to this. As I have been working flat out in work lately, I deserve a day out as I couldn't make it to CSF either. Looking forward to taking the car out on track, and hopefully get some interest in it as I will get some For Sale stickers printed up...

My 197 is getting 27mpg average but I much prefer the look of it, enjoy driving it and it goes quite well when I wind it up. It just feels more refined and grown up. The previous 172 cup (not the rally car although that is better on daily fuel too) wipes the floor with it on economy which got...

Soft inters for the rear 220 each Fronts i had a job lot part worns 80 each. They work well down to the wire

Michelins are the way to go. JD tyres.

Would love to get there with the rally car and wouldnt have a problem with giving passenger laps. Currently very busy with a major shutdown in work so will see if I can get something sorted.

Try and get to a different motorclub and see if anyone there would be interested. Ive had mates codrive / nav for me and ive sat in with them too. For IOM my codriver had to pull out so the organisers put an Ad on their Facebook page and thats when Angus volunteered so I was very lucky there.

Bit of an improvement, car is more drivable now and hopefully the cold start kangaroo has gone too

Depends what she charges really but i am almost tempted to look after this car. The kia needs a body mopping too as that has some shocking hand marks etc on it.

Nope

Just general wipe cleaning/dusting

What products / wipes are people using on 197 dash boards / trims? Cheers Paul

10 and 5 yrs for mine

Same for me. Ive had quite a few 205's and 2 of them were Steel Grey metallic. Both were very tidy and pretty much original/standard, a 1.6 and a 1.9. I sold them both on separate occasions (8 yrs apart) do do more rallying. Pretty sure they were both sold for about £1600 each. Same condition...

Selling the rally car but i dont rule out maybe doing a sprint or something in the 197. Its getting mapped in 2 weeks but it still wouldnt be as quick as the old 172.
