    and avoid jamsport, the kit i had from them wasnt great, the charger sat in a silly place that took room for a cooler. I believe charged 182's replace the AC which would work on the 197 if done correctly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Supercharged 306bhp GW197 T333DOB

    I wouldn't dream of supercharging again unless i had the opportunity to use a pre-made and used kit. As said, the compression is an issue, i was forced to run with lower revs to stop me snapping rods. In the Uk the meg transplant is the sensible option. Abroad id look at the turbo kit. Another...

    197: Insurance dilemma

    Best thing to do is get on the phone to your insurer. State your budget and hopefully you get a handy call centre operative who will be able to advise you on how your quote can be made cheaper. For example having a start date at least 2 weeks in the future can reduce your quote. Sometimes...

    Sorry, not been on the forum in a while, yes i sold it around June/July last year although dont know if the guy who bought it ever got it fitted.

    Looking for a 197 Cup

    check service history, should have bad belts changed by now. check the exhaust for joints, will tell you if its had an aftermarket exhaust. A cup is very basic inside and if i could choose again id go for a full fat. if you spot one you like check on here, someone may know something about the...

    Insurance

    admiral can be like this, try putting the start date as far in the future as possible. Ring them up with the original quote number and be stern.

    Yes had little bit of interest in the supercharger already :) Might be looking at a 200t, anyone got some mpg figures for them? I know its bound to be better than my 197 just want a realistic level as i never believe the qouted figures. Next week may see me stripping the whole car back to...

    Its only for a few months mate, will mean i won't need a different belt and such. May have an engine build thread starting soon fingers crossed :D And i think if your aiming for 280BHP you will be ok on the standard ECU if you can get someone decent to map it, but as you say, SA ECU is a huge...
