I ended up with some 2 forge , 7.2 kg each et58 17 x 8 and about £750 delivered but that was 18months / 2years ago , road car some track use

False economy in my experience your better of buying one that’s done and starting with that it’ll work out so much cheaper than building from fresh , what you can get for 5/6k will cost you 10-12 starting afresh

However if you are doing a few track days then Gaz , bc, (apparently now do for 197/200) or yellowspeed in that 800-1100 quid bracket ,,,,, might be worth going for hmmmmm my b14’s might be for sale soon as possibly a little soft for track use

Mine on b14’s set up by tuned uk in Wrexham 17 x 8 2 forge wheels 225/45/17 ad08rs , rides lovely no bouncing

Had b14’s on for about 1000miles and very impressed with the ride quality, but no matter what you fit it’s very important I think to get them dialed in , 4 wheel alignment and geo set up ie ride height camber caster depending on top mounts etc by someone who knows what they’re doing and who...

Challenge the insurance company to find one exactly the same as your old one for the money they’re offering

Fitted PMS to mine and they are spot on , also had car set up at tuned uk in Wrexham , money well spent for a bespoke set up , Richard really knows his stuff regarding 4 wheel alignment and dialing in the geo to your own requirements ,

Just had one off btt excellent company to deal with , it’s getting fitted Monday to my 2007 197 so will let you know

Mines a 197 so are you saying with the BTT subframe it won’t need it ? Would be a nice option if it doesn’t

Hi Anyone help with where I might be able to get the n/s rad support arm as per pic , number 5 Thanks New rad support from BTT is replacing old item Thanks in advance for any help

Yes thanks all in hand to cut a long story short got a customer who comes in and runs a classic car restoration business spent his apprenticeship as a gearbox rebuilder as it happens , doesn’t do them normally but doing mine however hes the one who talked me into a quaiffe etc cat cams for the...

sounds great , get mine back together run it , book a track day and see what the 197 is like properly

Had ad08r’s on track cars in the past which have been great and rs although a different compound now will no doubt be ok with about 160 wheel hp, was thinking of PS4’s as good road tyre and wet track day tyre

I’ll set up similar looking at all the useful information, I’ve got a set of ad08rs tyres to go on but hear the PS4’s are impressive especially in the wet so will probably end up getting some I think , have you been on track with them ?

Something along these lines I guess then ,
