    Interested in 197 ownership experience and to look out for...

    I couldn't agree more! Whilst I love my 197 like you, I also found my 182 quicker, had better steering feel, had a more useful overall power delivery for driving on the road and I was never worried about a synchro going bad.

    My Liquid Yellow R27 progress #172

    I don't think that many 197 / 200 will be around in a few years time, their low purchase prices belies the true cost of their ownership. Many will not be looked after, unlike like yours now and will end up being broken for parts as they'll be worth more in bits than a whole and beyond economic...

    My Liquid Yellow R27 progress #172

    Hi Shane, I'm in a very similar boat with a UR R27 and bit by bit I'm slowly bringing it back to original condition with OEM parts. It never fails to amaze me how much 197 and 200 cost to maintain, with so many bits being bespoke to that model only. They're no parts bin specials with the...

    lower recaro seat frames?

    Has anyone used these lowering subframes on eBay please? My concern is buying a subframe that hasn't been tested as per I image a large manufacturer must, and therefore how such a subframe may perform in an accident when this is all that stops my 13 stone from ripping the seat free from the...

    Can 200 Cup Suspension be retrofitted into 197 Cup

    I've got an R27 with the standard 197 Cup shocks and springs and was wondering if I can fit 200 Cup suspension into my 197? Slightly firmer / lower and cheaper than 197 Cup stuff. Thanks in advance
