Yep. Looks gorgeous in R27 form.

Liquids expand when they're hot. Welcome to year 6 science. :rasp: But yeah, you always fill things up when the car is cold.

^^^this. The only 197 that's worth buying over a 182 is an R27. If you can't stretch to that, then buy a trophy if you're planning to keep it standard.

Oh lord.... What lights are you putting on it? Lol. Looks tidy mate, welcome.

Re: Carnt even insure a 1.2 16v @ 26 I'm in band a, winner! That'll explain why I pay £790 at 21 with 0ncb, 3 years driving, no points or accidents.

Reliability between the 182 and 197 is going to be exactly the same really. Tbh, the only 197 I would buy is the r27. Otherwise I would definitely have a 1*2 and spend the extra money on mods. You'll have a much more capable car when you're finished. Fuel consumption on the 197 is worse...

You can always come along anyway mate. Meet a few folks, have a look at some cars etc. So who's familiar with lakeside? Why don't we just Chav it up and meet at mcdonalds? That has to be easy for everyone to find....

"A moment of sheer PANIC, as I realise i cant do s**t about this miniscule blob of paint." This statement sums him up.... panic, written in capital letters, because there's a tiny imperfection on his roof.

Hankook's... better than PE2's in my opinion.

Re: Carnt even insure a 1.2 16v @ 26 That's an absolute joke. >1k for a 1.2......

Wheel nuts are wheel nuts mate.

THIS^^^ I don't care who you are... using pure water to wash your car is really f**king sad.

It's only the Crawley people who are meeting at Cineworld, in Crawley, then driving up to Lakeside together..... I don't think there's been any suggestion of where to meet in Lakeside yet?

Re: 172 jms set up matched inlets remap v6 airbox will itg maxogen work same or bette Buy it, then sell me your v6 airbox.

Nothing against a low trophy but all you've done is taken off your good suspension and replaced it with something worse.

Welcome chap

Welcome mate. You must be mad to buy a car you've never driven. Hope that works out for you! The 'smoke' is probably just condensation, take it for a good long drive and see if it clears up.

Or.... You could put your parcels in the boot like everyone else.

So where are we actually meeting then folks? I don't know lakeside very well so I can't make a suggestion.

Eibach's are the only spring worth buying. I can't think of anyone that has tried these.

I'm pretty sure he was agreeing with you chap.

I'd bet it's the crack. Mine did that when the screen was cracked.

Cheers :) Next on the list is kind of up in the air at the moment. I'll be getting bimarco's, the willwood 4-pot set up, bilstein b14's and dannyR's supercharged engine. I'm hoping to get it all at around the same time to save the labour of taking it all to bits too many times. But we'll see :)

Difficult to tell, does it feel down on power?

Dick.

Welcome mate :)

It should be fine at that time on a Sunday.

Have a look at dls and jl audio. As aurron said, amping them would be better.

I've got Hankook's. Great tyre. Better than the PE2's IMO.

I wondered who's this was.... There were quite a few cups there!
