I've been strongly advised to look out for non-members ;).
PM me your email and I'll send over a guide I've got saved. Your bank details are voluntary.
Yes, unplug battery for 15mins. The resistor's are fairly self explanatory when you get the seats out, but there is a guide floating about if you search,.
PM Fred. He may be able to get them cheap, I could grab them off him and bring them with me. Make it clear that you need them for Tuesday latest though!!
Easy job IIRC. I could bring tools and we could probably get it done in the pits at Oulton!
(talking about putting new discs on with bearings already pressed in!)
I was looking at a place near cheltenham, but I've abandoned the full wrap for the moment. I've just emailed the carbonskin place above about getting the bonnet done.
Thats what I'd expect. Doesn't make the 197 slow, the Astra's are just very rapid in a straight line. Still utter garbage though. The worst performance car I've ever driven (the Astra, not the 197:o).
Personal preference and driving style play a big part. I can't stand the exalto, and would say the f1 is a far better tyre. Assuming the prices are for 16inch? If so not a bad price.
Quick google, Autocar got the VXR to 100 in 14.33. The 197 was circa 18s. Now 1 or 2 secs would be close, nearly 4 isn't. And that was a standard VXR, the ring version with the zorst has more power.
