My 197 cup

[mark_197]

I've not posted much on here since I signed up but though I should really start to as I went along to the Scottish rolling road day at Extreme and only knew a couple of people.

We never managed to get the Clio there which was a shame. Though our little 500 done us proud with 169bhp and 207lb/ft

Couple of pics of the Clio hen I took delivery, Recaro’s and Black Speedline’s being the only options;

A few of how it is now;

And a couple with the 500

Oh my im in love. What have you had done to it?

Bet them tyres have been fun in the snow lol.

 

[Mr Pants]

Lovely stance. Wheels are mint too. Cracking car.

 

[mark_197]

Cheers for the comments. I only have those wheels on for trackdays but they're the reason I never made the rolling road day...it snowed the night before lol.

Done quite a bit to it,

AP Racing Bells & Rotors, braide lines and DS2500
OZ Ultraleggera wheels
AST Sportline II with solid adjustable top mounts ( both from Kam Racing who were great to deal with )
PH2 V6 Airbox
Redtop 25 moved to underneath the Passangers seat
Matched Inlets.
R26.R fog light blanks

 

[Naith]

[Y7 ADW]

Oh my that has a seriously nice stance! The wheels look mint aswell. All in all a lovely car in a lovely colour

 

[mikey123]

How much difference do you feel with the v6 airbox over standard?

 

[mat-nos]

awesome looking motor, bet it goes well too

 

[mark_197]

How much difference do you feel with the v6 airbox over standard?

Not much as it's not re-mapped yet but the noise is great.

 

[Davis]

[CHRIS172CUP]

One of the best looking clio 3's i've seen. nice!

 

[st3ve]

Nice, thats a winning colour combination.

 

[Scott Parker]

Looks really good, i like the fog light blanks as i never use front fogs (leave that for the boy racers)..... Looks proper mean on that suspension and even better without a spoiler:approve:

 

[cander08]

[Nick172Cup]

Corr, an absolute peach of a Mk3! That its lovely, must of spent a small fortune especially with Ultra/R888's and AST Sportline 2's, there not cheap!

 

[Scott™]

Gorgeous looking car. I love the subtle mods. Wheels look ace.

 

[Jordi17]

197 looks immense! Love it.

 

[mark_197]

Cheers for the comments people

I'll try and get a progress thread made up as I'm not finished with it yet.

 

[Matthew]

You running spacers Mark? Love 197's with spacers and lowered.

 

[brisa4984]

stunning 197

No the offset of the OZ wheels are ET55 instead of the standard ET68

With the Speedine's on the inside of the wheel scrubs the arch liner after one full turn of the wheel. When the tyres are finished on them I'm going to sell them and get different road wheels or use the OZ's as the road wheels and get a different set of track wheels.

My new favourite 197/200.

Stunning!

I makes the 500 look super bent though. LOL

I'm always joking with the girlfriend about that. Shame the 500 blows me away in gear ...until we get to a corner and it's silly hazard lights start flashing under heavy braking lol

 

[Christopher]

LOL yeah.

Which coilovers are on the RS, mate?

 

[mark_197]

LOL yeah.

Which coilovers are on the RS, mate?

AST Sportline II, Solid top mounts and stiffer Eibach springs.

 

[Christopher]

AWESOME.

If you ever sell the car, please let me know? lol

 

[TimR26]

Great 197 you've got there!

 

[Wests Renault]

looks mint ........ want coilovers for mine now lol

 

[koi]

Hope to see this sometime, looking good.

 

[lbrench]

think i chatted to you on the abarth forum and what mods has the 500 got to be able to blow the clio away?

 

[Hixle]

My new favourite 197/200.

+1!

Fantastic job mate, looks right at home on track, too.

 

[Brett]

Really like that mate. Got a lot of presence.
