I'd get rid of the spots, de-chrome, and get some proper (ie not run flats) tyres on it.

Excellent, the 2 spoke wheel is beyond s**t. Buckets of pace, would pull on a 197 with ease. Has it got the diff?

f**king thirsty things, but good to drive and very quick. Engines better on the new ones, but yours is nicer in pretty much every other way. Get rid of the spots asap! Which steering wheel? 3 or 2 spoke?

Buckled wheel? Balance weight fallen off? Loose wheel nuts?

Love the wheels on the black vee.

Yay yay yay, she live's!

I would, if your current tyres have enough tread.

I imagine it depends on how low you're going, could be clearance issues. Might be worth pm'ing someone like Fred, he'll most likely be able to give you an immediate answer.

What suspension are you running?

Out of stock at the moment, but certainly available. http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m12b0s690p4061

A clue: the current f1 car is the R29.

Lol.

Roughly £1200 a piece. I disagree on coilovers being overkill. My Kw's ride and handle better than my 182 on sportlines.

I see where you're coming from. I think on the 182 it was essential as the standard seats were a joke. The standard 197/200 seats are an excellent road seat, so the benefits questionable to me. Do you lose side airbags with the recaro's?

Used regularly in trucks and commercial aviation, pretty much as new tyres iirc.

I don't think it will. Can you honestly see cars going for £850 more with the seats? Will be easier to sell, but not going to be a difficult car to sell either way. Are all the recaro's in the 200 that horrible yellow colour?

Not a fan. All those mods and standard suspension??

Depends what you're using the car for. The standard seats are very good (unlike the 1*2's) so if it's purely for road use, I wouldn't bother. Yes resale will be slightly lower, but £850 lower? Roffle! My arse! If you're going to be tracking it, probably worth it.

Does make a noticeable difference. On 195's the car moves about more, feels more playful. 205's grip more. I prefer 205's tbh.

I've driven a car on uprated discs/pads etc, then ridden in a car on 4 pots straight after. No difference in ultimate stopping power. Did a hard day at Bedford in mine, and in a long session (40mins out) had no fade with uprated pads/discs. Having experience of both, there's no way I'd pay for...

This the one with the truck, where one of the cars crosses the carriageway?

Piece of piss. I'm no spanner monkey, but I found it easy. Once you've disconnected the battery etc, it's 3 bolts.

Ordered it beginning of feb, so under 6 months.

Word of warning for anyone looking at the alcantara wheels, they don't last very well.

The bottom recliner looks v similar to the new recari in the evo's.

Who makes them?

My OMP wheel looks woeful after a few months. The alcantara doesn't last well at all, shiny as f**k at the moment.

Don't think so, think it locks the unit to that vin number. But the vin I've entered doesn't exist, so obviously not working!

Right. One issue sorted, another one now! Made a mistake entering the VIN number, put a zero instead of an o. Emailed fastchip a couple of hrs ago, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions before they get back to me.
