    197 Cup or standard?

    Cup chassis is fine providing you don't live down or frequent unpaved road (or live in Sheffield, terrible roads!!) Never driven a standard one but my 200 is even stiffer than a 197 and I find it okay, though I hear sitting in the back is like getting punched in the kidneys. :p

    help needed.. brake lines

    Have fitted any to a 197/200 Fred? I'm just interested if you reused the bracket or used the shoddy little clip you get with them. It seems it's easy to fit them in such a way that they foul on full lock with the back side of the rim.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    F5 is getting a beating on my keyboard. Love getting through sections without killing anyone but then I get bored and just crossbow half of them and sneak past the rest. It seems wrong not to shoot a few people in the face on a computer game, also hilarious with the crossbow as they pin to the...

    Mk1 Golf in brief so far

    Fitting a bigger engine would make it a bit lower? ;)

    unphotogenic 200!

    Yup should be, few have had DNS issues but should be ok now. For reference: 182 197 200 Haven't got a head on shot of a 182 but never had issues with taking photos of 200s that make them look just as good as in RL.

    What you do in your personal time is your own business, back on topic.

    unphotogenic 200!

    Is this thread working on the presumption the 1*2s were all the epitome of beauty and design?

    Bye bye 200 - my ownership report

    They do need more power, I don't actually find it lacks torque low down quite the opposite for a highly strung petrol engine. A bit of boost in the next model would be excellent, easier tuning combined with the already excellent chassis should make it sell well.

    Any way of being able to tell if the cambelt has been done?!

    If it has a full service history he should have evidence to show the servicing has been done at the appropriate time. If the service book doesn't mention the belt has been changed when it should have been then he's falsely advertising the vehicle. Back when I was looking at 182s all I heard was...

    Insurance re-newal

    Insured with them at the moment but my renewal was crap, greenlight ended up £400 cheaper than the next cheapest insurance and I can pay ~£50 to insure it for a trackday ( as long as it's not castle comb supposedly lol ).

    Have you ever been stopped?

    The police are sometimes the nice guys!

    1st scratch

    A spot repair, looks like glacier white? Should be pretty easy for someone to do I wouldnt kick yourself too much about it. not sure about in Dubai but there should be plenty of people around who can fix that fairly cheaply.

    mk3 cambelt change

    Not in Barnsley: http://www.renaultspecialistleeds.co.uk/ or http://www.ddconline.co.uk/ << not sure they have the gear to do a cambelt on a mk3 but you can always ask, nice guys.

    New owner from 350Z to 197.

    Treat the Clio like you would a bike and take it for a ride at the weekend and you'll love it just the same. I came from bikes and don't miss getting cold/wet or covered in flies at all.

    Is the Clio 200 Cup spoiler functional?

    Unless they designed the part for the race car first, the bolts are on the outside so you could have off with it if you had the right allen key and so they might have had to redesign the road going part. The speeds they go on the majority of tracks and the small surface area of the spoiler I...

    Is the Clio 200 Cup spoiler functional?

    They'll all be supplied to the teams with spoilers, the people at Renault will want them that way.

    Clio 200 water getting into boot

    Not me personally but you're the 3rd person I've heard of having this problem with a mk3. No cause/solution though, don't use a pressure washer do you?

    172'd Mk1 Cadwell Park Trackday Video inc. Melted Battery

    Probably being dim but what was that at 2:35? the thing that looked like it either locked up or dropped a pile of oil onto the exhaust.

    GW 200 Cup, photos and video.

    I do love the white on white, it's a bit of a finger to the Honda crowd but the 200 does just look brilliant in that combo.

    197/200 with Megane 225 engine

    There's a chap over on clio197.net who has his car at RStuning at the moment, basically dropping in the 225 engine, gearbox and loom with some mods to make it fit. It's been discussed at length and I think the consensus was that both would cost lots of money but only the megane transplant would...
