19mm spacers front and rear, debadged. Meant to have 30mm H&R springs on but the front shocks are being b*astards so will need to have it in the garage.

Proper stunner that!

What I liked about the Ford Shogun video above is he purely did it due to demand, it's in the background of loads of videos and even I wondered what it was, so due to the questions he did the video. I enjoy when he reviews proper mental over the top motors, like the dual-engined Mini, his face...

Watched that Ford Shogun video a couple of weeks back, what a weapon! Watched this one last night, I for one love it!

Followed a very nice RB 182 this morning around 7.15am along Pontefract Lane off the M1 (Jct. 45), then a bit further along I was pulling up to the lights at the A61 crossing (near Crown Point) and a black 197 passed by, black badges, very clean. Anyone here?

Awesome mate, looking forward to seeing the motor in the flesh when we convoy down :up:

Looks good Dan, liking the idea, looking forward to seeing it in full. Think I've seen you around a few times in the 182, you go by Garforth often?

Cheers for the replies chaps - really helpful. I think after some research 20mm+ may a bit too much for my liking, the KTEC spacers I have on order are not bolt-to-hub sadly @mjcropper, but I'm fully willing to give them a shot. If I'm uneasy or not liking it, I'll reconsider the options...

Put your bloody foot down mate :smile:

Going back to this spot just came across this part in VisioRacers latest vid, these Soarers sound VERY NOICE!

Makes it easier without having to buy new bolts if I went H&R, however my current bolts suffer from 197-bolt-rust-syndrome and need sorting anyway, they currently have black caps on, so I'd welcome a new set of bolts. Think I'll order them, see how I go on, cheers for the help, much appreciated.

Cheers Knuckles mate, am I right in saying yours in the picture doesn't have spacers (hence you saying 'it sorely needs spacers') - if so, that's exactly what I was looking to see, lowered and without spacers. I understand what you mean about bolt-to-hub, hub-centric, and can understand the...

Nice one mate cheers for the reply - lovely looking car by the way! Glad to hear the KTEC ones are reputable - this has added confidence.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advise / pointers in regards to spacers for my RS 197. I'm having a set of H&R springs put on next week which should drop the car nicely and lose the dreaded arch gap, however I'm really on the fence about adding spacers too. I've looked into it and it seems...

197 Lux for me!

Really nice that mate! Got any further plans for it?

Spotted one of these yesterday in Horsforth (nr Leeds), Koening Mercedes 560 SEC, was parking up as I drove past so gutted I didn't manage to snap a picture, but it was identical to the below but in purple:

Not a bad episode that, the Mazda truck with the boat engine is bonkers.

Phwoarrrr :hearteyes: Looks so much more special than the 458.

Hi all, Trying to find out, or source, the centre top mount bolt that fits to the top of the damper through the mount. Can anybody help out? I've got a set of springs to go on and a brand new set of cup dampers, however the current dampers have damaged and rusted threads in which the bolt...

I love that, I mean I'm a fan of a tastefully modified clean car, but seeing a completely standard car with so much work done to keep it that way and in original form is awesome, outstanding work sir!

Nice pics mate, did that wedge collide with the back of the Fiesta in the pic?

Yes mate I went to Blyton yesterday and we met a few lads at the M180 services, worked out well as a meeting point, I'm up for this.

Spotted and parked next to this V6 at KFC in Gainsborough yesterday around 1pm I'd say?

Sounds tasty that bud!

Ace pic mate, bottomed out!

Yesterday evening an Inferno 182 along Yeadon High Street, around 6.30pm-ish? Also a silver 172 at Horsforth roundabout, around 20minutes earlier.

@OssPoop, I'll be doing the same, Saturday ticket and coming from Leeds, so not too far down the M'Way. We should convoy! Looks like we'll get kicked out at 6pm.

You know, probably me being slow, but when you mentioned you lived in 'Miggy' I automatically thought you meant Micklefield as it's 5mins up the road from me (we call it 'Micky') - now I know what you meant, and I'll stop looking for an Inferno when I drive through there too! :smirk:

Yeah cheers guys 1UZ and 1JZ, although I was interested to see if at any point there was a 2JZ, as I'm sure I read it somewhere!
