    Benno's UR197 & Meg 250

    Cheers Peter! The best bit was @jamesgw200’s face when I turned up at his before Snetterton, he couldn’t work out why I had so much camber on springs!:tearsofjoy:

    F1 season 2018 comments here

    Fell asleep twice during the race, first and probably last time me and my mates will sit down and watch the whole thing start to finish.. To go 48(?) laps with a dead MGU-K and only 6 gears and not only finish but win is absolutely admirable. As much as I think he can be an arrogant prick that...

    My GW 197 Cup

    Looks epic with the aero kit mate!! Toyed with buying the lot but certainly not cheap... I reckon white on white with Speedlines will look brilliant.

    Benno's UR197 & Meg 250

    Finally managed a post-Snetterton clean after two weeks off the road with another screwed starter. Went over to a mate of mine who kindly whipped it off and replaced it for me. Couldn’t get the heat shield on with the manifold in place so gold wrapped it for the time being and will see what...

    Be interested to see this at Snetterton if we both manage to make it. What figures are you aiming for??

    KTR Induction Kit and remap, or KTR Panel Filter and remap??

    I'll find the vid of me coming up the pit straight at Spa, sounds brilliant with the induction kit. Never heard it from outside the car before the Belgium trip last month and I spent the whole three days being told how nice it sounded - it really does sound epic!! You will need the remap though...

    Air Filter recommendations...

    Ktec induction kit is possibly the best sounding thing I've heard on a 197 but the flat spot is awful without it mapped.

    What colour wheels??

    Gloss black is a safe bet, but I do agree with Mes that you lose them a tad in the arches. Here’s a (rubbish I know...) pic of my old 200 wheels once I’d fitted them to Alex’s car. He loves them but I’m not sure if it works, anthracite looks great. Look at @suj's for example!

    06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

    Get in touch with Rich at Rentune mate. He's absolutely spot on. IIRC £750 for recon box plus new OEM clutch and slave fitted in about 4-5 hours.

    New R27 owner, Stockport.

    If you're going all that way, I'd get a 5L bottle of oil and coolant to stick in the car. You can never be too sure - especially as it will be warm! For the sake of £40-50, get the aircon regassed. Most importantly as you're going solo, exactly what Yiannis said, make sure any breakdown...

    Photoshop please

    Plenty around on here and on Facebook at the moment mate. You’ll find one for sure.

    Shuv + Mini Shuv's other Frenchie track 'weapon'.......

    Think this is brilliant Shuv. Fingers crossed Shuv Jr enjoys it and follows in your footsteps!! Quite like the wheel colour myself, made me chuckle that the yellow hoses have come out already. Enjoy it for what it is. Father-son time more than anything. Was just a few weeks ago me and a couple...

    Big Bens non Clio

    Ooooooh I did NOT realise it was a Sunday. Will wait to find out about my job then hopefully should know pretty soon after that! Yes you do! Obviously not the best set of circumstances around how it’s happened but I’m glad you (and the mrs) have made the right decision. Now to get it turning...

    You always seem to get epic shots on track Carl!!! I'm sold on the Cup spoiler now. Just gotta wait for some money to magic its way into my bank account...

    A few new upgrades

    Can't be too far from @Micah then! Wouldn't mind doing Brands but it always looks pricey when I look into it!

    Clio RS200T - Track/Road

    That's gut wrenching. Worth getting hold of 1 new one and a set of spacers over trying to sell three wheels?
