I just found some more pics of mine and Mr Bone’s car.
Also, a very hot and exhausted Son, who wasn’t even driving but still managed to get so hot in the car that he felt sick. 😂
And a quick video, just because…
Oh and please excuse the wheels, they came with a set of tyres I bought so once the tyres are done it will be back on the gold speed lines.
CV grease sir??
Probably the last track day of the year and after doing 10+ days last year, it’s really evident that I’m a lot poorer this year than I was last. As I’ve only managed 2! 😂
The car has had a load of work done though; gripper, box refresh, 6 x new tyres, pads, brake fluid, engine and gearbox oil...
There’s a Facebook group called RPD - Renault Parts Direct, you’ll be pleasantly Surprised at how cheap OE parts are. And even cheaper from these guys. 👍
You can’t use NCD on two separate policies.
So keep the NCD on your daily driver and just get a specialist off road policy for your car that’s Sorn’d. It’s really cheap, think mine was about £100 for the year and that was on a £20k car.
I’ve had it before where the tyre fitter clipped the brake dust plate behind the disc when they were putting the wheel on and it was rubbing on the disc.
Wheel off and a tap back with a plastic hammer and life was good again.
So many people build them because they buy the 197 because it looks cool as f**k, and the handling is like no other hot hatch. It’s superb.

To be fair I’d say they were pretty good. Sash has done a load of miles in hers, including lots of miles from people with Zero mechanical sympathy. I’d say the fact it wasn’t the clutches after all is testament to how good they are.
Nice, I like these and they drive really well.
I think you could be right with the 20mm drop and silver wheels. Looks a bit too Bradford with the black wheels.
Loving the sat nav upgrade too, will work wonders come resale time.
I had a remapped dci 65 and used it for a 20 mile round trip 6 times a week for about a year. I used to put £40 in it every 4 weeks (payday) and the fuel gauge over time would go up because I never used all of the £40 before fill up time. It was insanely cheap to run. Think I worked it out at...
Just make sure you tell the person that collects it that you’ll be buying it back.
Empty it if all your personal belongings and DO NOT give them the V5, service history etc. if they ask for it tell them it’s at your parents house 250 miles away.
If you do end up buying it back as part of the...
