    Wrapping interior bits in multi-color (sticker like) vinyl

The main thought i've been having (and i think i've seen one here but can't locate it now) is wrapping it in white with multiple stickers on it. By stickers i mean...

    Pirelli P Zero Nero

    Any opinion on these Pirellis. My 2nd 197 has these on in good condition, only had experience with Dunlop Sport Maxx TT and the Contis. The Dunlops were top in dry and good in wet. Contis were a bit worse in dry but good in wet as well. The Pirellis i have now are as good as the Dunlops in the...

    Whining sound when Turning off engine

    I've noticed a high pitched whining sound when turning off the engine which starts high-pitched and pitch lowers as time goes by, sound fades away within ~ 3 seconds. Cams? The whine only appears when switching off, never heard it in motion or revving. Belts changed 5k miles ago.

    Ticking Engine Noise

    There is a ticking noise coming from the engine, more prominent when warmed up. It can be described as continuous light ticks and the frequency of ticking goes up proportionately with rpms. As speed picks up it gets lost in the background of other noises but in 1st,2nd gear low revs its very...

    Standard seat, my passengers' seat angle cannot be adjusted by the side wheel. Wheel seems to rotate almost freely on its axis without actually tilting the seat forwards or backwards. Any tips?

    Question about the rev limiter.

    I noticed a while back that the rev limiter is about 500 rpms lower than usual when the car is cold. And now a friend of mine with a 197 claims that on his the rev limiter is the same whether it's cold or not... What about yours?

    Clio 197 Vs Honda S2000

    Coming back home i spotted a 2000 and followed him. It turned out he was taking the same b-road (very slipery) i'm taking so i decided to play with him a little bit. The result was him not being able to pull off me not even for a single moment and fighting with hilarious oversteer. I on the...

    What's your driving position?

    I have heard a lot of negative comments for the non-option of moving the wheel in and out (close to you and away from you). I personally don't have a problem with that at all and i wonder what you think about it because,to be honest, i can't figure out what's wrong with the std position....is it...
