R26.R do it I was throwing the 197 around a B road last night and i honestly dont think I could get rid of it. To coin munson's favorite saying they really are the last of the old school hatches with the big(ish) NA lump upfront. Revving the tits off it, chassis in its element box (touching...

If i had the money i'd have one, fully specced with that dog box What a weapon!

evening cleaning geeks :) Is covering a 197 diffuser doable with C4? With it being quite a large area, i'm a little worried that parts might start to cure before removing the excess? Also thinking of doing the grille too, again this ok as its quite intricate?

lovely where you get the touch up from?? Need some myself :)

Nice attention to detail there Can't help think you dropped a bollock painting the grills through, chipping will always happen. I've got some g techniq C4 waiting for mine

I wouldn't say it's a "common" issue, certainly not in this country. I've seen a few reports of failures but they seem to be in hotter climates I've had two so far and once warm get used properly. Probably stuck over 60k between them.

stiff shift? You mean short shift?

perfection that! If i ever had a Mk2 again this would be the first mod 100% Regards the wear, ive had one on my 197 for over three years, looks as good as the day i picked it up

id rather genuine. Ive heard a few patterns and they can be a bit droney form my experience.

get a nice standard exhaust on it and you'll love it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Renault-Clio-172-Sport-rear-exhaust-silencer-/181732477242?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a5019893a...

Don't use super blue, it f***s the seals on these fo some reason. (There's a thread on 197net about it) Who's belelding them? Are you doing a full bleed, ie the 4 on the front and the two rears?

Properly awesome this Think I prefer the STI ducts though

I'll never have a silver car due to any matching issues. For a decent job you're probably looking for the side to be done imo

R-sport Wimbledon

Yup, sums up my opinion on them Droney crap. I bought a 172 years ago with one fitted. It lasted a week. I bunged a new standard one on decatted and it was perfect for me.

giiirrrrth

Other than Gearbox last year, never had anything other than service issues with mine. Brilliant wee thing

You wont get much mk3 love on here i'm afraid. However i love mine, had it over 4 years. I have no need for a mile muncher, and living out in the sticks its brilliant for a good drive. They are good for what they are. Nice and revvy, nice winding B road is where its happiest. You can get Xenons...

Good man. Im only up the road (I'm in whitchurch) Don't cc anything perfect as it is imo. Less is more

They are toss I had one on my cup way back in 2004. After a few weeks i had the inlet off and it was full of grit. Got rid and replaced the standard element with an ITG. The viper was w**k then, and is now.

Ixcel 205 110 Auto paint St helens will sort you out :)

Awesome. Nice and unmolested :-)

Water will have got down the pug holes, this then creeps up the plugs. Remove leads off the plugs and you'll see the issue. Good dry out should see you reet,

they look fine, nothing a wee drop wouldnt sort out!

It is a shame they never made a three door as it would suit the shape so well imo

Lovely I also spotted this, been up for a while, certainly looks to a good standard inside and out :)

Love that, bet it's a right weapon??!

I bought my old 197 from there in 2008, that too had some ditchfinder 2000's on the front, and a crap wheel refurb that blew off when jet washed. still once those niggles were address it was a good car.

Indeed fella :)
