    197: track day helmets

    2-3 rentals of those, Woody, and you'd have bought a perfectly good OMP/Sparco/V2 that hasn't had a hundred sweaty heads in it!

    197: track day helmets

    Pay a little more? They are all (or should be) Snell or BS, depending on where it was made. This means they all have to meet a minimum standard of safety. As you start paying more money, all you're getting is a name and fancy materials... and unless you can afford carbon, they ain't any...

    bilstein suspension

    H&R have traditionally used Bilstein dampers in their kits, I expect if you were to check, you'd find there's a 90% chance their Clio kit will too.

    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    It's getting PX'd, end of a quiet month and they offered me top money - can't be bothered with the hassle of selling to tyre kicking clowns.

    Something really stupid, I'll ping you a photo when I pick it up and drive sideways out of the dealer....

    Mk2 Scirocco Track Car

    Oh, I dont remember. It was no doubt an afternoon in work surfing but I remember it struck me as great value. Not as much scene tax on the Rocco, yet great base cars due to weight and low centre of gravity. Should be quick!

    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    I think I'd only do a 200 seat swap, to save aggro. Car might go next weekend, if someone wants a deal then shout up now!

    Buy a race car subframe brace and mounts.

    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    It's doing it the other way that presents problems, as cars with standard seats have more airbags. Everything else is fine. Woody, seems a bit pointless swapping Recaros for Recaros, no?

    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    Cool. RS200 seats seem to go for about 150-200, so if Recaros are about 900 then 700+seats seems about right?

    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    Say I traded my Recaros for some standard 200 seats, what's the going rate for £+seats my way?? Not looking to shaft anyone with eBay prices, just a favour to save them being traded in with the car when someone on here could benefit instead.

    Spa Prep!

    Nope, not really. The case helps but it's somehow tweaked to filter out noise. You get a touch at 90+ though. Judge for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAdN3PcxUpg
