I was forced to buy this car a few months ago after my 172 blew up and caught fire on the m3 I've planned to have a turbo 197 since I was about 17 I actually brought most of the parts including engine box de cat down pipe loom gear box and linkages k tec boost pipe kit before I brought the car I'm not removing anything off the car till I'm sure I have every piece I need for the conversion I should have all the parts by the end of the week so hopefully can start the conversion early jan.
its my daily driver so it needs to be reasonably comfortable so I won't be stripping it out and caging etc I have a Motorsport Williams for that sort of thing my plans for it is really the meg engine a box with an LSD stage 1 I think will leave me with around 270 bhp and a good Tourqe figure needs to be pretty low I'm told kw coil overs are pretty good I need some of those sexy f1 seats I despise my wheels so I fancy some cup wheels or maybe 200wheels my other problem is the colour seen as I had to rush buy the car I only had £4000 to spend so had to compromise on colour I like bright colours blue green yellow etc I had to settle for I think it's nimbus grey :l but I brought a good one 40,000 miles feels tight as a drum so I fancy dressing up the extirior a bit I quite fancy some f1 stickers ill probably get slated for putting them on but it's just to plain .
i went turbo as it really suits my driving style I love a tourqey car ever since I drove my Williams for the first time back when I was 18 and I really think the 197 could do with the extra grunt no offence to the other n/a 197 owners but I find it quite slow any way I'm not very good with computers and technology but ill try and up load some pics of my completely standard car now enjoy
