Longer ratio box aint all that imo I've had both, an early 2006 197, and now have a 197 Cup. It probably helps 1/2 mpg if lucky imo Pretty much everything has been covered, Cup packs are noticeable with red calipers and anthracite alloys, the Cup chassis came in mid 2007, so any 06/56 cars...

Flol!!

^same tbh

Not so sure on them, the pic looks right with the strut, and it specifically lists them as for 197, where as the ones you're thinking of just said 2.0 litre ;)

Might be worth looking at these if going for V1's, bit cheaper, rated them on my 172 Cup, not seen anyone with them on a 197 yet...

[/B][/I] Doesn't exist as the 200 has downs, therefore it can't look mean :( ;)

That sows why Mondial owns, best MK2 colour - ;)

At least the 197 is cohesive............. ;) I'd have one like, but much prefer the 197 face See, an AG 200 remind me of and, a 200 can never have this much presence, the nose is too pinched in with the black insert

The usual Cambelt is due (5 years or 70k) Check gearbox, must not be crunchy especially above 5000 rpm. If it is, its hooped If brakes feel crap they are probably seized. The pads and pins in the fronts are prone to this. I get mine stripped down yearly. They should feel awesome. Check...

Love mine, had 2............ I'd never go back unless i had to

Lovely, welcome to the elite ;) Re the steering wheel trim, its for the normal 197 wheel.... It doesn't really fit the cup one as its thinner Had an epic drive in mine yesterday, on the boil they really are superb. Mines V1 shod also :)

+1 However with the age of the vee, would it not have been better in the older renaultsport font?

Re: RENAULT ANNOUNCES THE CLIO RENAULTSPORT 200 CLIOSPORT.NET EDITION Its s**t tbh, was expecting a MK 2 shell, turbo, colour coded diamonds/bullets and some ktec coilovers for the lowz

I doubt they will match the o.e colour tbh, they'll just re do them with a colour off the shelf.

This, I meant to say yesterday. Looked spot on when you left tommies, leave it as it is now, then save the ££ for a nice Phase 2 172 ;)

.............new car syndrome more like ;) If you drove them blindfolded, other than a cupped 200 steering you'd struggle to tell imo So 172 < 182 ;)?

Personally i think there is a glitch in the programming somewhere (which they cant find), as it can also happen when fully warm

3rd to 4th should be smooth above 5k rpm, if its not, the syncro is likely to be on its way out. Lots Mk3 RS's seem to suffer in one way or another.

Yup, they all suffer to a degree, 197's tend to be more savage. I find better fuel helps (v power etc)

See, i'm not that sure, i'd need another go. Drove Steves (SBV116) 200 Cup back in the day, and yes the steering is better with the quicker rack, but other than that, not sure. Now weather its because his had a few 100 miles on it, and my blue 197 had around 30k and was shod with H&R coilovers I...

Good looking motor that! Not usually a fan of the stuck on tat either

not a 200..........and my 197 was running coilovers, but, Winning imo

True, from here I still cant get over that join, horrific imo However, from here it looks 'ok' Still, its no looker compared to this, cohesive ftw and 200 will never look this good

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. Going against the grain I feel the RS caps are a bit tacky if i'm honest, no need. Good choice on the rest of the spec though, it'll be a peach i'm sure :)

They seem to settle with age. When new they do have a forward rake, but for the rear end settles over time. If you like O.E, get some eibach prolines on there. No real drop, but will give it that forward bias again,

looks well in black imo!

Yeah they are the small speakers :)
