Well it feels like an eternity since I've been on here and it more than likely is....... looking at my R53 build thread, she sold shortly after my last post in Jan 2022!
I've spent most of the last few years on M3 Cutters where I see a few familiar names from here there too. But since my E90...
That was an early jamsport conversion that was very reliable and ran standard ecu etc. If you want a fast road clio that drives like NA then its worth it. If you want a track animal don't waste your cash and stick with a standard 200
If it’s for track use, hard track use, I would avoid supercharging the 197 unless you can work on removing the heat soak.... power drop was massive when used hard on track, meaning standard 172s / 182’s that had weight reduction could keep up.....
315 on a standard engine with standard management and no issues
Not suited to track tho as the power drop with heat gain is massive.....
Sounds insane tho
Had the same issue, sunlight shows all with this colour...... fuel economy is about right, although I say low to mid 30s...... I must be getting old though as the 43 with the current 530 is much more palatable ?
Good choice mate, I’ve had two of those, same spec. I Love the sport spec on that model and the must have 19 spider alloys on yours ?
My daily just now is a 530 in carbon black also, which does benefit from the detail u mention, but just look at the paint the wrong way and it marks.... softest...
I might have a full set from the green one when I stud converted it.... if they are here then I’ll bring them up Wednesday night.... I also have shed loads of new bolts here too so I’ll bring a selection to see if they fit.....
Car has lots of potential JOHN. I drove it back to Frazers one night after Knockhill, felt really good given it was standard apart from the exhaust.....
Yes it’s been fully rebuilt, girl owner now and it looks very well. Missing a few parts from when I built her like the Brembos and bump steer kit I believe
Blast from the past! One of my mates sent me this link of me in the Trophy on track.... we make an appearance at 2:50..... I think he must be trying to get me motivated for this wednesdays track night.... video footage from a well modified 172...... YES I do miss that Trophy ? ?
