Buy a second hand locked unit, (circa £90 ish) unlock license £85, map £42 so call that £220 give or take
Map the car
Then sell the unit on (£90)
Total cost £130 ish. Its not bad imo. I'd fully recommend it, did my 197 last winter and it improved the cold behaviour no end. Its pretty simple...
Just ordered

not quite the unit recommended the other page, but space is...
Hi
Hi looking for a TV no bigger than a 45inch due to space. Its going to be stand mounted. Not fussed about 3d, but will need to be good for the footie ;)
Any recommendations??
cheers
I had the exact same thing, been a hero and blown past a few cars only for it to cut out on a roundabout. Then had to abandon it at the roadside! Oh the embarrassment of being towed home by me Dad un his defender lol!
The lads at birchdown sorted it. It's not unheard of on a 197. Mine was two...
Well you're experiencing the issue I have with them. I think most on here who say they aren't loud are under 25..... or have hearing issues brought about by the exhaust ;)
I did indeed get one of the first MK2 stealth's back in the day. The second stealth I had the mis pleasure with was in...
won't fit. Different diameter.
Honestly just do what I said. Most aftermarket systems don't gain f**k all power wise anyway. De cat it and you'll gain on a 172 ( it's where the 182 gained a few ponies from)
trust me fella!
Been there and done it (twice) lol
I bought one when they first came out, binned it after a fortnight. Then I bought a cup with one fitted. Again f**ked it off after buying a nice new o.e system. Honestly mate it'll be the best thing you'll do. Nothing aftermarket gets near to o.e sound...
Standard or nothing mate, been there done it. Said for years the stealth is crap, loud boomy and droney as f**k
Search genuine clio 172 exhaust on eBay. There's a Renault garage in sussex that sells them cheap, iirc 90 for a rear box, 133 for a centre section. Then sell the stealth. You won't...
Mk3's can feel flat after coming from a decent mk2, there's no getting away from it. Over the last few days since watching that Evo vid, even I've been dabbling with chopping mine in for a trophy....... My 197 only gets used at weekends.... I was thinking of getting rid of mine and the mrs...
Come on, binding brakes steering and gearbox issues are a mk3 RS problem in general, not a 197 age thing. I'd put good money on more 200 boxes being replaced than 197 ones........
