Some great pictures there but love this one.

It would have been nice if we'd got a bigger engine, even 2.3 EcoBoost or something, but I still think they're awesome. They have real presence in the metal.

The Monaro was supposed to be ok wasn't it? Albeit in a lairy, slightly crude way? Corsa VXR Nurburgring and Astra J VXR are meant to handle well too.

Yeah that is a bit of an issue in this country I should imagine. Fine for the yanks, where lots of people have trucks as cars, but a pain here. They're still cool as f**k though.

In fairness, the roof rack is probably worth more than the car :ROFLMAO:

I'm rather pleased about this. Those three cars will make a great garage and hopefully you'll get plenty of smiles out of it as a standard car - enough to make the bad memories fade away hopefully!

I think you lot need to go to Specsavers. They look bloody awful :ROFLMAO:

That was damaged on my old 172 and it did my head in lol

There's something wrong with you lol

I opened this thinking, why on earth would someone do that? In reality, it's a bit of a mad and pointless conversion, give you can use Renault bits. That being said, there is nothing wrong with being a bit mad and pointless sometimes, and you've done a great job with the install. The dials look...

Cheers. I think I'll start with the lower torque mount perhaps, then track rods and ends. I noticed it had had an advisory in the last couple of years for them, but I suspect they weren't done, so seems a good place to start.

I might let a pro do them to be honest

Thanks. Might join up over there. Will take a read through your thread. ECP used to sell a lot of Lemforder stuff but seem to stock Moog now instead. Not sure if it's any good.

So, picked up my 197 and, while it's "ok", I am going to work through the usual suspension joints and bushes in the coming months, just because I am fussy and want it perfect. On my 172, I used mostly Lemforder for track rod ends etc, with genuine Renault lower arms and the odd Powerflex bush...

You do seem to spend a lot of time messing with engines! Hopefully this one will serve you a bit better!

I followed a California a few months ago. They are a bit bulbous and clumsy looking from the back I think. Obviously wouldn't say no though. Saw this when I picked my 197 up earlier, belonged to one of the guys who ran the place. Fully restored and lovely: While I was driving back I saw a...

I believe it is, yeah. I think any MK8 can have the keys made for it.

I mean it's probably a dramatic method, but it should work I guess :ROFLMAO:

I would think that almost anything off-the-shelf is going to have very little impact, other than adding some drag. The vast majority of aftermarket stuff is purely for looks and won't have been anywhere near a wind tunnel or anyone with aerodynamic knowledge. This is worth a look...

That will make it look a lot better. I know what you mean about the skirts, always a risk removing stuff like that. I think I would have to though. I think it would still work as you still have the diffuser. To each his own though. It's still a lovely car, regardless of what I think!
