    polybushes

    Can't see any polybush kits available for 197 / 200? Thinking rear wishbone bush in particular which seems to wear and needs renewing on mine. I wonder would there be interest in these if I investigated with a company about making some up?

    PM system

    Hi, Are there any problems with the PM system? I ask because a member who has agreed to buy some wheels off me has not responded to PMs re arrangements for pick up despite visiting the site. is there a problem or am I being ignored? Seems weird as the person in question is a prodigious...

    Donation sent. Great idea. Not had the pleasure of meeting Roy but sure the site can raise the funds needed.

    What to do what to do what to do.

    Agree to an extent Mr F but long term buying is still more cost-effective vs renting even after factoring in mortgage interest. Deposits are a big ask at the moment but rents are actually higher than mortgage rates in many areas which hasn't historically been the case. Plus at the end you have...

    What to do what to do what to do.

    I know mate. Been there, done it, got the badge. Personally I think you've got to find a balance. We've all got cars in the blood and aren't going to shake that easily. So I've decided on cheap daily and clio as a fun weekend / track car. I'm lucky cause I can afford that now without...

    What to do what to do what to do.

    Boring alert. All depends on your salary / earnings and disposable income. We can all crack one off over the pistonheads classifieds and get a 'good finance deal' but for every £20k finance deal you have to be aware of how much moolah you are flushing down the loo and what you are trading the...

    What to do what to do what to do.

    Have said this before on here being an old git. Prioritise the house and finances and don't waste too much of your hard earned on cars. My biggest regret financially is prioritising cars for too long. Wasted a good 25-30k which in real terms has prob cost £100k plus opportunity cost. 'it's...

    Lift off oversteer

    Road or track? No offence but on road IMO any oversteer is a signal to slow down. Perhaps get it on track before you or someone else become a statistic. You simply can't explore the handling of these cars on road safely.

    School boy error?

    Was swapping wheels over so thought I'd give the front callipers a quick wipe down to restore a little bit of red through the brake dust! Couldn't find brake cleaner to assist and came across an old can of muc-off cleaner lying in the garage (don't ask). This eve brakes have been squeeling and...

    pulled over

    Enjoying an evening drive out with the other half last night. Always mindful of speed limits nowadays as on 9 points! Might have 'enjoyed' a couple of roundabouts on the way back and then saw a police car in my rear view. Pulled us over and then gave me a right dressing down for speeding! Just...

    Eager to get back!

    Never? All FF 200s with recaros around the 10k mark? Next time I need a buyer can I PM you?

    Eager to get back!

    It's a cup and without air con by the looks of it. IMHO overpriced. Again IMO you will get a full fat with recaros for your 7k without much of a wait.
