    Helmet cam on trackday

    Thought I'd give this a try, despite the movement I think it came out quite well. Need to lower it a little next time out though.

    Winter Tyres

    I'm planning on a set this winter once my AD08s have died. All going well I should be through them by October.

    Time to say goodbye to my cup

    Brembo stickers are even on the wrong way round. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

    Police chase a 172

    From reading all the responses on here I was expecting a completely unprovoked kicking being issued by the officer in question. I've only just been able to watch it, couldn't see anything wrong at all with the way they extracted him from the car and subdued him. Spot on IMO

    M3 off road.

    FLOL. He turned into the corner alright, but as said before, for front wheels to work they kind of need to be touching the road. Epic misjudgement, wasn't carrying too much speed for the corner, rather too much for the crest beforehand.

    Yesterday at Bedford

    Great day had with Easytrack yesterday, spent most of it getting passed by just about everything boosted and lots that wasn't. Sun/heat was ridiculous but meant perfect conditions all day long on the mostly empty 3.8 miles of tiwsteez yo.

    197 and 200...How much difference is there?

    I empathise. Bent my driver's door out of shape due to the wind. Grrrr.

    The Chris Harris thread

    Warranty will have just expired then though...better to get one at 3-4 years old I reckon, just for the notional peace of mind. That's my plan anyway.

    The Chris Harris thread

    You'll have to wait 2-3 years until I've killed the 200 first.

    My 182

    Was your in their workshop last weekend? If so, I had a good look around it...love the colour, looks very good for its age!

    That'll do. Decision made. Thanks Mr Harris.

    Sure it wasn't a GT86?

    Thinking of selling the williams, what are 197's like to live with

    I had the balljoint issue after a day spent pounding the speedbumps (kerbs) at Llandow. Luckily it was last day of my 3yr warranty and I managed to just about squeeze 40% contribution from Renault. Price before the 'discount' was an eye-watering £900 all in for both sides. If you get one, make...

    Goodwood trackday

    Good to see you all, wish I could have been on track, weather was fantastic.

    197 and 200...How much difference is there?

    You're wrong, if I were buying new, and it was to be a 200, I would buy zero options. But having said that, I'm not a car enthusiast, I'm a driving enthusiast so maybe you are right.

    RIP Trophy 433/500

    On more than a few occasions I've stuck my arm out the window and done the slowing down sign to oncoming traffic when there's something they should be aware of. Generally get a wave/flash in acknowledgement but got the bird from a hastily driven Saxo the other day. As said though, repeat these...

    I guess that makes me a poor idiot then.

    steeringwheel peeling

    Common issue. Get over to 197.net. There's a few who've had theirs replaced. Mine's started to go...I'm just going to put up with it.

    197 and 200...How much difference is there?

    I wouldn't say it will sell quicker...it may well (probably will) sell for more. But quicker? Alan pointed out there was something like 3,000 197/200s registered..and there's only a small percentage of those on here/clio197.net/renaultsport.co.uk. There's plenty of people out there who would...

    Nice pics, nice tyres. I love mine.

    RIP Trophy 433/500

    Sorry to hear this, glad you're OK. To pick up on your point above, we should all drive to our limit points i.e. how far we can see the road to be clear. It does mean that you have to crawl around corners that otherwise invite pace, but the plus side is that you've always enough time to react...

    197 and 200...How much difference is there?

    The lack of market for a 'poorly' specced 200/197 or problems at resale time is a myth IMO. Try selling mine on here and I'd likely get no interest. But if I actually tried selling it to the non-RS fan motoring public en masse, I don't expect I'll have even the slightest issue. We'll see in a...

    Another rave Chris Harris review...

    Never seen the other bloke before. For what the film was, I thought he came across fine...the usual sightly irritating American. From start to end, thought that film was excellent. Really got the sense that there were several more hours idle chat on cars there for the taking. Nailhead firmly...

    197 and 200...How much difference is there?

    So very true. They're deemed an absolute must have for the CS sheep just like Silvervisons LOL If being 'held in' is what makes a good driving experience, the standard seats are more than adequate. They even cope on track just fine as well. Plus, after 30k miles the standard seats still look...

    197 and 200...How much difference is there?

    Red calipers, anthracite wheels, much firmer springs/dampers, 7% (I think) quicker steering rack. How do they compare? Couldn't tell you, I've never driven one with Cup suspension. What I can say after having covered 13k + 2 trackdays in my non-cup 200 is that the cup setup is not needed. My...

    Very cheap 197/200 wheels and tyres!

    Hmmmm, must resist, although at that price it's hard.

    Not driving within road conditions =

    Yep. Looks like it was an impatient undertake to me, hence him breaking traction under acceleration as he turned sharply into the outer lane. As for not stopping, would depend on it being payroll day or not.
