First post in a long time but thought it would be good to put an update up. The R27 has been fantastic after all the work was carried out, really enjoyed the car over the Summer! It has been faultless (apart from a stuck locking wheel nut) and has continued to put a smile on my face as always...

Hi Guys Just had my tyre's changed and they couldn't remove one of the locking wheel nuts - Going for that taking off this evening but will need to replace them now. Have seen quite a bit of conflicting suggestions on here in regards to size needed. Can someone please confirm what size I need...

Hi Mate Thank you for this. The original 200 exit pipes haven't been cut at all, they just have some very unpleasant tips 'clamped' on which have worked fine but I just don't like the look of them - See picture below. I just want some that will sleeve over the top like yours, however I want...

Hi Guys After having no luck finding a 200 diffuser at the moment, I am going to go down the next route and replace the tips on my Akra. When I bought it (second hand) it came with some makeshift tips (to fit the 197) which don't look the best so looking to swap them out for some nice shiny...

I've seen maybe one post in the past about the baffles going in someones Akra and they got the system replaced for free through Akrapovic themselves I believe (It was quite a long time ago so can't be 100% sure) I've had mine on for about 2 and half years with no issues and I bought it second...

That's what I've just done, all of mine have only got 2/3k miles left on them and at that price I'll just put them in the garage and pop them on after the New Year. Probably cheapest I've seen a set before, even if you add £10 a tyre for fitting.

If you go through eBay at the moment you can get 4 x Michelin PS4 for £291.04 (£72.76 each) in standard 215/45/17 fitment or Goodyear Eagle F1 AS5 for £215.49 (£53.87 each) in standard 215/45/17 fitment. That's on the MyTyres ebay with code: PLENTIFUL Obviously there's fitting on top but...

Glad to hear that the R27 is staying! Sounds like a nice little list you've got there. I've just had my steering wheel re-trimmed by Royal Steering Wheels and I can honestly say it's one of the best things I've done since owning the car, that coupled with the RS style gear knob really makes a...

Thanks for this information! I did sort have an idea that it would be a difficult job, especially for someone like me who has never done it before. I do think the best idea moving forward would be to ask a professional and get their opinion of how to best move forward. Also, I think I might...

Thanks for that, I did assume this would be the case. I will call in to a few places and see how much they will want. After a bit of research I did come to this conclusion too, it really doesn't seem as easy as people say. I don't think I actually have the patience for it really either. I...

I understand that mate, I think I got a bit carried away haha - I definitely like the concept and I could see why it might appeal to people. I just prefer the idea of the Ghost product because even if they did clone they key, the car wouldn't start anyway, well that's if I'm correct in...

I know there are quite a few people on here that are in to detailing and keeping their cars in impeccable condition so thought I'd ask a bit of advice, before blindly spending money. The paintwork on my car could do with some TLC as I have always just used the local car wash and I'm not quite...

In my opinion I would only bother if I had a more expensive and desirable key-less car. Even a low mileage, high spec, top condition R27/200/Raider is only going to be worth good money to a collector or enthusiast and I don't think these people are the ones to be ordering cars to be stolen...

Welcome to the forum!

Hi Marc, I’ll add my experience in hope that it helps: I’ve just had my manifold changed and after much research I had the following powerflex items fitted at the same time: Upper Torque Arm (already fitted) Lower Engine Mount (dogbone one) Gearbox Mount. I decided to leave the upper engine...

Nice to see you’ve got everything sorted and are hopefully back on the right track. These cars definitely know how to test our patience but glad to see you’ve just about made it out the other side and can hopefully enjoy some stress free (and inexpensive) miles ahead! After spending an arm and...

The seats look excellent, have looked at your work before and the quality absolutely spot on! Have a few questions so will send over a PM to keep this thread tidy.

If it's just a group buy that you want to offer, then you could just post a thread in the "Group Buys/Discounts" page which is a sub-section under the Site Traders part of the forum (You do have to be a paid member to access this though) If it's something else to do with a group buy, I'm sure...

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Pav! I was pleasantly surprised at the cost and had been collecting parts for a while like the brakes etc so it wasn't as expensive as it could have been. I can only see it helping and for something what is relatively cheap to do I think it'd be worth a go - especially if it will be a...
