i just had to search for about 20 minutes to find this, i had it saved from when we had the exact same argument in about 2005 on here haha!

ive only briefly read though this but i cant understand how some people think the manifold is at fault when it works on some cars and not on others.... now unless the engineering tollerances are huge and one manifold is completely different to another (id bet £1000 on that not being the case!)...

i was under the impression all ph1 sports were 1.2 16v though not 1.2 8v?

the good old RR meats at falkland in feb were good!

yep climate is standard on the normal 200, along with cruise control (not sure if that was standard on the 197?)

my old workhorse Thinkpad T43 runs Windows 7 ultimate just as well as it ran its previous Windows XP pro, i do like how simple XP is to use, only because i spent years working with it daily and ive honestly never had a proper in depth play with win 7, i just turn it on, open IE9 and go on the...

these will be a mint 2nd hand bargain for a track car in 5 years time when they are worth £1000 due to needing a paint job lol!

very very nice, i was offered a brand new nimbus one when i bought my blue one, however i couldnt find a picture of a 200 in one and didnt want to take the risk! especially when the blue one was sitting infront of me and looked awesome in the flesh, wish i had now haha!

stupid fuckin cat, phone the RSPCA see if you can track down the owner and invoice them for your new parts.

wish i had a dad like you when i was younger lol!

elf evolution sxr, i steal the 1 litre top up bottles out our driving school cars amd build up a stash!

a lot of the fun in a track car is the preping and mantinace though rather than renting. personally id go for a ph1 as your getting a lighter car, they are cheap to buy, already have 15" wheels for cheap track rubber, , cable throttle gives a better driving experiance and they have a better mid...

i must just be lucky i use programs and features that dont suffer from bugs. funny you should say that ive just sold a macbook with win 7 on it!

didnt windows stop being buggy since windows xp or am i missing something lol

part number for they seats? lol!!

ohh i like that!

we need another RR day

i dont go near the place, if i cant afford to wait for something to come online i go to a tesco extra, the staff dont pretend to know what they are taking about, they dont try to sell you anything you walk in, point to one, pay for it, walk out, done!

thats the sort of commute you can have a riot on and still get decent mpg, i used to have one like that and covering ground quickly i was getting better mpg than i was sat on the motorway at 70mph as it was quick bursts of acceleration to get a bit of speed and then feathering the throttle, no...

i enjoy the brakes to much for that haha! cant wait to wear out a set of pads to try some ds2500 or what ever the "pad of choice" is for these!

i think its if an accedent was recorded on a car where your the main policy holder. i cant put my mum on my insurance anymore as it puts it up due to someone running into the back of her company car driving school car while it was out on a driving test and she was sat on her arse back at the...

after years of stiff suspension running loads of different manufacturers of coils/springs/dampers i dont think any of them are as stiff as the cup suspension lol. on a smooth road its fine but throwing it down a backroad at serious pace you get thrown about far to much in car which takes your...

i just phoned them and told them to cancel my policy with them for a similar problem this week, got a letter from them saying i owe them £120 for a claim i didnt declair, phoned them up and told them ive never once had an accident and neither has my mrs who is my only named driver, turns out its...

yeah although i think what people, myself included is the "debatable" 30bhp more that the 200 has, your talking the power difference between your average 1.2 and 1.6 "normal" car between 2 versions of the same 2.0 16v engine that mixed with the extra (from memory!) 200kg? is going to make a...

also worth adding not sure about the 197 but the 200 cup chassis is MURDER on the road unless your on a lovely new bit of road! imo its a bit to stiff for your average uk road, and becomes a pain if you end up doing any long motorway journeys!

people get too hung up on peak power figures, that is an awesome torque curve, if you can call it a curve! more like a line!

as daniel says above

im genuinely interested in a shot of a 197 to see if the 200 really is as it was advertised as 20% more low down torque or what ever they said it had as im surprized how pokey mine is under 3000rpm, wish it was quite as urgent from 3000rpm to 5000rpm, feels a bit weak mid range then goes nuts at...

welcome to the mad house, where you from?
