Dont do spacers, trust me, they ruin it!! Looking mint as always!!

Yes, when photo'd like that, but in the flesh i'm not so sure, they have a brownish tinge to me! Anyway, how good looking is the 197 really ? ;)

Nah pop rivets are part of the under bumper, they come off with it. :) Few 10mm underneath iirc

I found it easier to remove the whole bumper. Think there is a guide on here Oh and welcome ;)

good call, think the cup racers had something similar iirc?

Carlack nano and the 476. Just done it this weekend Good combo imo

Awesome!

No no no!!! GW is the ONLY colour to have a 200 in. End of thread.

like it then? ;)

Doesnt seem too...... Avoid imo

Re: Peace & Quiet: £350 for stainless stealth exhaust or £50 for a second hand standa The only thing wrong with the standard system is it doesnt last too long. There is no real performance gain from fitting after market, i'd even put good money on some losing power.........

You should not get any knocking with H&R's. I had two sets on a 172 and 182 and never had any issues. I suggest locking at top mounts, or how the shocks have been built up as suggested.

best thing that could have happened to a Kumho tbh

Cheap tyres on a Cup = fail.

And me for a setof 197 alloys, cheap as chips, turn them round in a day no bother

You'd be suprised, inside there is not too much difference. I know you can get 5 door 225's but they :dead:

Stiffer/lower (7mm) springs, slightly bigger arb, anthricite alloys and Red Brembo's = cup chassis. R27 debuted it, and came with Recaros as standard, and limited to a run of 500. Anyway more feed back.... I've had my 197 for near 2 years now. Not had one issue i can think of. It gets...

Yep, they will for sure? Re P4ers, what you mean about upgrading brakes? All 197s are the same

7mm lower ;) Reason i didnt bother with a R27 or cup packed 197 was i knew i was getting coilovers, so a cup chassis was wasted on me. I have the Recaros, and have had the standard. The standard seats are lovely, lower than the Recaros (fact) and dare i say it more comfy on a long run. That...

Indeed this must have new gearbox is a myth. They are the same stength, just a few 100 rpm difference in 5th and 6th. Thats it.

Bet its red. Vauxhall red has no clearcoat, and will oxidise with no protection. If your being a rough arse some t-cut ;) followed by SRP would easily do the trick. Then do the rest of the car with SRP then EGP. Done. You'll be amazed.

By Birchdown! Was at a loose end so decided to go on a wim! It never changes :)

But what do you expect for £3???? Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!

LOL Got a refund for £3. Hope it wasnt a special journey? You get what you pay for. Never scrmip on wipers or tyres imo.

Lovely :)

Nor me. They have no real performance gain over a 197. Granted they might feel a bit more urgent low down, but the difference will be 172 to 182. Splitting hairs imo

knows ;) Not the best pics, but if required i reckon you can go another 25mm at the front and a good 15mm at the rear easy. I Had to raise mine up from the first time we lowered it. At this hight no scrubbing/rubbing what so ever, and it gets driven hard down the local B roads ;)

Bit far for you, but search Birchdown, never seen a bad word against them, top notch service!!

Probably be cheaper to get a non RS wheel for the duration of owning the car, then swap them back over when come to resale. That is seriously fucked imo!!!
