Stopped and waited for me at a crossing!

I couldn't agree more with what's been said about the F1s. Those sidewalls look horrible in those track photos. Although that'll be why they have such good road manners.

At this point I should mention that my 197's then recently replaced gearbox was filled with the wrong oil by Renault Croydon. Ste at SC Autos noticed the oil smelt off after I brought it in and after some persuasion Renault Manchester agreed to change the oil. It was a huge improvement but the...

Were I to own a Clio with 300lbft, I wouldn't find it hard to justify AD08s! I'm just eager to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm not sure why someone would buy Contis over F1s. Certainly as good, probably better, and considerably cheaper. As an all-round, all-weather tyre, it's hard to beat F1s. That said, I'm pondering a set of semi-slicks. Hiller: I'd go for 215s. With the 225s you get extra sidewall as well as...

Thanks. Clearly the car would be fairly balanced with F1s variants all round, But I was actually asking about the AD08s, which seems like it would cause issues. The rear end of the cup chassis is a lot stabler in my experience, but can definitely be persuaded to oversteer during hard braking...

Marksman79, Could I trouble you for photos of your steering wheel? Very intrigued. Thanks.

Thanks James. I was considering something similar but was worried about snap oversteer with such sticky fronts. How well balanced does your car feel in wet and dry? Does your 200 have Cup suspension?

I'm reviving an old thread but don't see why not. Having bought a set of F1s with an 87 load index a couple of months ago for the front of my 197, I'm impressed but find the sidewalls a little squidgy for my taste. My rear tyres are still the original Contis (made in 2007!!), and so naturally...

I'm also interested

I've seen this a few times in the area. It looks lowered and well cared for, so probably someone who's on here.

Yep! I've got a cupped Rb197. Thanks again for the Ducati suggestion.

Thanks guys. Kash, that was a great shout. I bet they're from a 996rs that belongs to a family friend. PS, I enjoy your Instagram posts! Also, shakey hand man, I used to follow your stuff on Fiat forum. How's the Seicento going?!

I've recently inherited some obscure engine parts and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the origins of this piston and conrod. My guesses are either a high spec bike (quite possibly BSB) or F1, though I suspect former is more likely. Also found with Ti valves and an...

Hi, please can I have a set? Do you accept Paypal?

Thanks, although I think I'll try to get some with elastic straps to begin with.

Hi everyone, Is it possible to buy decent seat covers for the standard 197 seats? I know there are some fitted ones for Recaros at about £50 a set. I bought these to try but they don't fit at all well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/270823715976?lpid=82

Really interested to see how this progresses. Keep it up!

Beware, a stray pink Corsa could be just around the corner.
