I'm not sure if the 172 and 197 boxes are the same, but the mechanic said that on my box 1,2, 5 and 6 gears use a brass synchro ring, however, both 3rd and 4th are mild steel with a friction material bonded in the centre. As a result it seems that 3rd and 4th are more susceptible to wear and...

Not sure if anyone's in the South Yorkshire area, but if so I just had 4th gear (and 3rd) repaired on my 2007 197 F1 by www.ddconline.co.uk / 01302 340 300 (ask for Richard). I would highly recommend them! Cost about £1000 inc VAT, which included synchro for 3rd and 4th, new 4th gear as there...

I'm not 100% sure what you are looking for, but if you PM me your email address I might have something that will help.

Yes, thats normal, however, mine are a bit further to the left so that they are covered up by the plastic.

Yep... Discovery Channel, Mondays at 8pm

Did anyone see the new series of Fifth Gear last night? They had an RS 200 where they tried to see what provided the best performance increase around Rockingham. Control Lap Time: 1:43.6 Superchips Blufin (£250): 1:37.6 Milltek Exhaust (£530): 1.37.5 Yoko AD08 Tyres (£130 ea): 1.35.0...

They are the OEM ones. Both the ones I removed and the new LEMFÖRDER ones are stamped with TRW. You can get a pair delivered from http://www.mister-auto.co.uk/ for £46.

Am I right in thinking that I'll need 2 litres?

Still think I'd like to have some ducting, but as I don't know what brake fluid is in my car it's probably worth replacing it. Is there any particular brand you would recommend?

Just a little concerned about boiling the brake fluid. I was at a track day about two weeks ago and 3 172/182's boiled their brake fluid and I was braking much later and harder than them. It was open pit lane and I was doing 15 min sessions with a single slowdown lap and I didn't feel any...

Wow they look really nice! I don't think my wife would approve at that price tho..
