    A few new upgrades

    Pretty much what Big Ben said. I mainly bought them as they came with the tyres I wanted which have done circa 500 miles. I saved £200+ buying these over refurbishing my spare set of 197 wheels and buying brand new ad08rs. I do really like the look of the silverstones though, a little bit like...

    A few new upgrades

    Thanks guys. Same here, original plan was black wheels or silver but I’m liking the bronze now! Track wise I’m thinking local-ish for now so I’ve got Brands / Lydden Hill are the nearest or may stretch to Rockingham / Snetterton / Bedford. Shame Goodwood is so expensive as it’s only about...

    New springs and dampers ... do I need new top mounts?

    Evening. May have been asked before but I can’t find anything after searching. I’ve bought 2nd hand H&R springs and 2nd hand cup dampers. Do I just use the top mounts that are already on my car or should I buy new top mounts / do I need cup top mounts ? Thanks in advance

    Thanks all. Already has stainless exhaust manifold, panel filter, stage one map and re trimmed steering wheel. Handling / visuals are on the to do list. Has been fun so far!

    Newbie 197

    Good evening all. Got my first French car last weekend, a 197 in black. It’s got a couple of upgrades but will be looking for some more. Daily driver / occasional track day hopefully! Maybe see some others soon.
