+1 for the Rs2, i have them & they are awesome.
Had r888's on the trophy these (Rs2's)are better road tyre as you don't get the tractor noise from tyres:mad: that you do with 888's.
All those that rave about Goodyears, you need to look at the 197 site.
All the written off 197's have F1's...
Seen a black Evo at the Ring that was wrapped in white, you could not tell till he opened a door.
Got told the idea was after 2 yrs to remove & sell with mint unmarked paintwork!
1400 euros, thought that was cheap as ventureshield for the 197 bumper is about £2-300.
^^ your old man was funny:D
Heres one of you;
Spot the idiot in the passenger seat;)
Our room with fellow cs'er next door, thats the half lap entrance in the distance.
The crowd were pissing themsevles when this came by, not so everyone else that came across it:mad...
Yes but you would be happy;)
White is probably one of the best colours for a 197 or 200.
The fact mine has 'full house' as well is a benefit :D
Knowing when to jump is the key;) 9K for a trophy last sept just as prices fell off a cliff:cool:
Well my 197 Cups worth more now than when i bought it;)
The fact that it's whites a bonus:D
Buy the best you can find but ain't many for 8K yet only CAT or rubbish.
English Trophy 55 plate, yellow mk1 172, parked near Brunchen.

Got back about an hour ago, arrived 5.00pm Fri.
Straight to the track to soak up atmosphere!
Then at 8.00 ish try to find hotel, mate told us Ringhaus, but not on the arrivals list. :cry: Saw bmh.01's meggy in the car park on the way in.
After 20 mins we find out we are actually at Hotel...
I'll tell you how good the Hankooks are.
The Conti 3's are sitting in the garage after 1000miles;)
Don't confuse these with economy shiit tyres they are awesome. I used to run R888's but never lasted long for track/road use.
Your standard road tyres will get torn up & overheat in no time in...
Talking s**t wthout substance again.
The gearbox is the same as in scenic etc etc.
Same chassis different springs & dampers.
At the end of the day you can quote what mag you like the most important part of any car is the 'nut' holding the wheel;)
It's only stiffer than the now softer 200 FF.
Same with the weight.
Reworked head & map give the 3 bhp.
How about this for a lap in the 'WET'; http://www.fastestlaps.com/track49.html
From a distance yes, close up rough finish.
Took a lot to get brake dust off last night in the heat!
So whatever colour i do them i'll get the surface right to start with.
Got a set of 8J mag jobs from Kevo, in flouro orange;)
Going to get them blasted to remove all rubbish back to bare metal.
