197 so far.....

[Marky_]

Mintness tbh.

 

[Gaz_]

very nice.

Spacers FTW?

Nah, dont think so, most 197's are spaced too far tbh. Sit fine imo No need to mess about with them

H&R price?

You fit them?

Dear . Steve (Birchdown) Fitted them, i assisted lol They are OK, but a bit fiddly to sort the front end lol

Very nice fella your car looks mint. I wouldn't bother with a spoiler as none of them flow with the lines of the car, besides it looks better without one.

Id also re do the wheels in white I think it would compliment the Albi blue really well.

Spot on about the spolier, not bothering tbh (as said in the post) They all look to stuck on for my liking. Not a fan of White wheels, too much maintenance lol.

Cheers for the replies chaps!!!!

totally agree, i love the 197's though, theres just something about them which i really like, the rear end does it for me to be honest with ya

 

[Brand86]

Lovely looking car there mate...as people have said really warming to the 197s now!

 

[Gaz_]

The haters are warming lol!!! Gave it a good PC'ing on Friday. Then it rained Sunday lol. No detailed pics yet

[Merk]

Love that, mate has one the same colour but he's not doing a thing to it as it still has it's warranty lol.

Still have the warrenty no matter what he does only way he wont is if they can prove that the mods have caused the fault and thats Fact :approve:

Yeah f**k it tbh. I have a Kev For servicing (Birchdown) It went back to Renault for an AC fault, fixed no problem. If it was for a suspension knock/fail it would be a different matter though........

 

[Jay_A]

Looks good mate. Very similar to mine except I went for the Eibach springs and had my wheels painted anthrecite.

 

[Gaz_]

I remembered when you posted them up Isn't it funny how Albii looks and photo's so differently?. I gave mine a full PC to get some decnt close up pics, then it rained

 

[Jay_A]

Yeah I know what you mean mate.

thinking of selling it in a few months, but not made up my mind yet. I'd prob end up with my wife's Trophy as she wants a Racing Blue 182. I'm not fussed as I love the Trophy (and it was me that wanted it in the first place!)

 

[Miss Jones]

thats mint!

 

[Paul.]

^^like that 1

 

[pamarakos]

[cooper1896]

I must say I have thoroughly followed the progress of your 197 as I hope to create a similar wee beast my self in Australia.

Few quick questions if you don't mind.

What's your thoughts on the HR coil overs. How do you find the ride compared to the standard dampers?
Have you driven a 197 cup? If so how does the ride/firmness & handling of your car compare?
Finally Was there a reason you chose HR over KW?

Cheers mate

 

[BioHzrd]

Where were you at FCS ! ? seen your bus but never ever seen you round it !

I love the H&R's. They are very refined, imo perfect for road use. Never driven a cup chassied car, but imo they are only slightly stiffer than the standard 197 set up, so they must be on par?. The reason i chose H&R is because i had them on a 172 Cup for three years, and they were perfect for me. Imo you wont go wrong with either choice, the german TUV stuff is very good

Where were you at FCS ! ? seen your bus but never ever seen you round it !

it's not how you stand by your car its how you race it....
:sleepy:

Nah had a good mill about, yours was tip top tbh!!! only decent car on that stand imo (well the 172 was mint, and the C2 wasnt bad) Didnt see you by it/in it though, so fack knows!!! :S

 

[BioHzrd]

Was in it a couple times trying to sleep but the c**t with the ubber bas in the C2 kept cranking the pish tunes !

Got a couple snaps of your car ill send you them laters

 

[Gaz_]

Nice one, was a bit out of it where i parked but never mind!!

I swear that C2 had boom boom pow on repeat........!
