my albi blue 197

[James17]

thought i should start a thread about my car as I'm going to be doing a few bits and pieces to it slowly, since the other week I've now owned the car for a year and really like it (when I'm not trying to kill it haha long story) its a june car i think on an 06 so very early for a 197. had all the options new bar recaros and xenons, when i got it there was a milltek catback on it and I've fitted an itg panel filter and had it mapped since. here are a couple of pictures how it looks after having it rebuilt from a crash, its done 94k so far and seems pretty happy still!











my next plans are to get my lines, brake fluid, pads and gearbox oil done before i do my first track days at donington GP and silverstone international along with going to wales this year again, when i finish of my conti 5s on track i think i will go for some yokohama AD08s.

thanks for reading!

Looking good. When you looking at doing Donington?

 

[James17]

Thanks, doing donington march 16th and silverstone 26th.

Who's that with? Might see if I can do it. Although I think I'm on track on the 4th March.

Will no doubt need new fronts. I've got the Nankang NS-2r's on with softs on the front. Done a good few thousand road miles but I gave them a pasting at Cadwell last week and I reckon they'll get one more trackday before they are on the markers.

Epic tyre though.

Oh cool, yeah would be cool to see your car on track. It's with circuit days. I think I'm going to go with AD08s but not sure yet, will have to see how much life I take out of my contis at donington. Ha

the brake stuff I'm fitting is:

HEL lines
Mintex m1155 pads
Motul rbf660 fluid


if anyone wants to know.

 

[James17]

You could say I'm looking forward to getting on track!
