Soft inters for the rear 220 each Fronts i had a job lot part worns 80 each. They work well down to the wire

Michelins are the way to go. JD tyres.

Would love to get there with the rally car and wouldnt have a problem with giving passenger laps. Currently very busy with a major shutdown in work so will see if I can get something sorted.

Try and get to a different motorclub and see if anyone there would be interested. Ive had mates codrive / nav for me and ive sat in with them too. For IOM my codriver had to pull out so the organisers put an Ad on their Facebook page and thats when Angus volunteered so I was very lucky there.

Bit of an improvement, car is more drivable now and hopefully the cold start kangaroo has gone too

Depends what she charges really but i am almost tempted to look after this car. The kia needs a body mopping too as that has some shocking hand marks etc on it.

Nope

Just general wipe cleaning/dusting

What products / wipes are people using on 197 dash boards / trims? Cheers Paul

10 and 5 yrs for mine

Same for me. Ive had quite a few 205's and 2 of them were Steel Grey metallic. Both were very tidy and pretty much original/standard, a 1.6 and a 1.9. I sold them both on separate occasions (8 yrs apart) do do more rallying. Pretty sure they were both sold for about £1600 each. Same condition...

Selling the rally car but i dont rule out maybe doing a sprint or something in the 197. Its getting mapped in 2 weeks but it still wouldnt be as quick as the old 172.

Supertech valves so i hope not

Lol. The only other cars I will be getting will be 1/10th scale as they take up less space. If i was to have that escort it would need a proper garage to keep it in. And i dont have the space.

Love one. Wife says no though.

Sell it. Do more stuff with the kids. Have more garage space. Enjoy the 197 and maybe do a sprint or something in that.

Bit of an update. As i was fed up with having the car stuck on the drive with a broken diff, i decided to send it too @bloke to have it sorted. He pulled the box out and sent the diff back to Gripper to be repaired with a new revised material stub/output shaft and a rebuild. Bloke also checked...

Gutted. t**t. Bike probably stolen too but may have fingerprints on it.

Oh my god!!! What a waste. We know from other threads on here that mental health issues can certainly play havoc with your thinking. That is such a shame.☹

Nice collection. But wtf is that exhaust on the 172 cup??!!! I would rip that off on the first white/rough selective. Get a nice stealth exhaust on there tucked up nice and high.

Yes i bought it from Shogun. Im happy with it, just have to wait until August to get it mapped. I did look at the other one too but this one was worth spending the extra on. Other would have needed a bit spending on it for my liking such as tyres (it had fairly new budgets on it. Not my thing)...

Little drive out earlier

I have finally got one. I have already messaged Chris at EFi to get it mapped as the flat spot is so annoying. Drives nice otherwise. I might take some more better pictures sometime. Anyone want a cheap, diesel vectra?

As the rally car is hopefully getting an mot tomorrow and taxed on saturday i will check the diary to make sure the kids aint doing something and try to get down to this.

I used an LED light bar and a pair of gas discharge spot lamps for the isle of man and it was a great setup. LED gives a good flood and the spots gave the distance and headlamps do inbetween.

More power means you will be quicker so top speeds will be higher

A5 is a very long road, narrow down the area a bit!

Think you may struggle with only 100mph top speed Nathan, there are quite a few events needing more than that top speed

Driven mine yet @bloke ?
