Waiting at the lakeside shopping centre roundabout coming off the a13 - we went past in a black/gold meggy 225 :D
Yay another 197 owner in my local area - good choice of car ;)
Right i have bought some H&R lowering springs and now just need to get them fitted... the thing is i have rang around a couple of garages in Thurrock, Essex and this is what they said:
1) What are lowering springs?
2) £96.88 + VAT for the front and £34.19 + VAT for the rear.
3) £84 EACH SIDE...
Right, not able to upload the actual graphs and table yet - havent got a scanner so will take a picture and do it that way....
Anyway, it wasn't put on a rolling road but them things that clamp onto the hubs (wheels taken off), so some say a more accurate reading and therefore lower than...
I want to get my 197 lowered as i feel it sits a little high and rolls around roundabouts. I've been quoted £58.00 for ventura springs which would be a lowering of 40 or 60mm.
To me this seems really cheap - is that what they are... cheap? I'm not overly concerned about performance, just...
Right couldn't get the 197 rolling roaded yesterday, so booked in again for next saturday, however, i need to know the following:
The gear ratio of the 197 and/or the direct gear which is 1:1;
and also the diff ratio of the 197 (also known as final drive ratio or axle ratio).
Also the above...
Anyone with a 197 had it rolling roaded (cheers S77CCP :-))? What was the readings? I'm having mine run this saturday so interested to see what others have been getting.
Saw you today around quarter to 4 at the very slow shell garage in Downend - opposite the willy wickets. Very nice looking racing blue with the white stripes, nice sounding exhaust too - i was in the black/gold meggy :D

I am currently awaiting a 197 due for delivery in March... so i thought, because it seems just so long away that i would make myself feel better by buying things for the car now, plus means it won't be all expenses all at once when the car does finally...
Those of you who have a 197, whats your insurance like?
