No worries mate, fingers crossed. Make sure you put some pics up when it's fitted!

Unable to help with the boss, but in my 172 cup I had a 300mm momo and whilst I loved it, it was pretty small. I'd see if you can get your hands on a 330 and 350 and see what you prefer. Personally I love the standard wheel, it's a great size and thickness but I do always wonder about a sabelt...

Pics will help, The market is all over the place, on one hand it has issues but on the other its a sought after colour with decent mileage. At the end of the day, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay.

I think yellow would be too much for a road car, but white does look very good. Thanks for the pics, they've made my decision even harder now

Is that an oem colour? I'm very keen on gold but need to find a colour name or code to go by. A couple bits I've done already are yellow, I was thinking of doing the calipers as well but I don't think it would go well against gold or yellow wheels. I'll have a search and see if I can find...

Hey all, I've recently acquired a set of silverstones as a temporary replacement for the 197 wheels, (for sale, buy them!) Although I don't mind silver I've been toying with spraying them a different colour. My main choice is gold, possibly white. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to go white...

Went for a drive nice and early to avoid all the sunday drivers, parked up somewhere for 5 mins, and the car wouldn't start. Wonderful. So after using breakdown for the first time in my life, I got a jumpstart and was told to buy a new battery. So new mods - Battery. That is all.

Not a 200t but I have a pioneer under seat sub for my 197 and honestly, for someone that has a real hard time fighting between keeping the car light and having decent audio I really can't complain. I was expecting a light 'thud' at best, but it really does make a difference. You can't expect...

I've heard that these are quite good.

As above. From what I understand, multiple people claim that they can pass an MOT with the decat manifold but keeping the secondary cat, I still have a standard exhaust after the manifold so I'm going to test my luck come MOT time, and if not I'll get my standard one repaired.

I've stuck with the ks hive speaker, I currently have a hive X and it's brilliant. It can go very loud without distorting and has good bass at lower levels, the battery life if great too.

I had a sparco 6 point harness years ago but needed a 4 point, I took the claspe apart and it was fairly easy to remove the bottom strap, but you will need to attach one of the lap straps in place of the bottom strap so that has a permanent mount. Otherwise every time you undo the harnesses...

Great news. I've been trying to convince myself that I don't need steering controls but they're so much more convenient.

So a quick rundown on the new steed that has replaced the 330ci behind it. 197 nimbus 116k FSH Nothing special in terms of extras - Xenons with cornering lights climate cabasse system Jobs already done - Toyosport manifold to replace blowing oem (fun) poly upper and lower torque mounts Oil...

I did a thing. Good to be back.

Looks just like a standard unit, hopefully someone can chime in, mine is a cabasse so easily identified. I think I came across a thread on here which listed all of the headunits with pictures and the corresponding Connect2 adapter, but can't seem to find it now.

Have a good google, I looked into this and there's plenty of people asking the same thing, seems a bit of a minefield depending what head unit you have. what does your standard unit look like?

On the subject of seized wiper linkages, I took mine off this weekend as the wipers were noticeably slow and the linkage was pretty stiff, so a quick clean up and regrease has worked wonders. There's even a guide in the how to.

I still haven't sorted mine but the bumper isn't going anywhere. A couple people on fb told me the brackets are replaceable but like hens teeth so I'm going to remove the bracket and let it soak in penetrating oil overnight when I get the chance, and hopefully get the bolt out from the back...

If it's any help, my passenger rear light stopped working and it was the plug contact (same as the mk2 problems I'd encountered before) so I just cleaned up the contacts up and it was all good.
