Yeah, 9,271 if we're being precise. Bane of my life tbh mate, want to drive it and want to keep it special. Part of me wishes I had never bought it and just got a low-ish mile car with something like 20k that I could properly drive! Haha.

@oilman Hi Tim, Really interesting write up and thanks for sharing, I have been using Shell Helix 'Fully Synthetic' under the impression it was a good oil- interesting to now know about the hydrocracking and different groups. Looking through the Groupings on OpieOils, under Group 5 you have...

My vote is the continuation of this thread is everyone who posted now cleaning their car and posting that up too!!

Thanks mate, it is a lovey car. Constant battle in my head of drive it or preserve it, ha! Keep telling myself I might buy another 197 to drive and the R27 to be my garage queen and keep perfect 🙈

So repost time with a sight edit: Decided to get up at silly o'clock on Christmas Eve in the hope that everyone else would be in bed asleep! Left the house in the dark and caught the sunrise as I was carving through the Essex Countryside. The only other car I saw was a rather tasty looking...

Lol yeah, sorry Jamie- still love your car though mate, interior is looking mean.

All cars came with Cruise Control and Bluetooth as standard. I am in the same boat as you. Specs are all over the place. For me its not a Megane RS unless its a Cup/Cup Pack car. Again, its not an RS without Recaros and for me, I think the Xenons are a nice addition. If it helps, here is...

They can keep the auto as an option, but just give us the choice for god sake!!

So little update time. Got the car back from the dealer with the Xenons replaced, nice little annoyance solved: They also changed both the front dampers for me as I couldn't get anywhere with the top mount nuts. Now the car was on new dampers all round I was curious to see how it felt...

That they will- they can start by ditching the back doors!!!

Getting us all excited and then saying, well you can't have an R.S.16, but you can have a new Megane RS...

You're front wheel looks so different to the back wheel once its clean! It's amazing what the dirt can do.

Happy days! Looking forward to the pictures...

Epic car! I bet those wheels look ace clean :P

That they are, bit of a treat I got myself- looked at it as more of an investment in keeping the car nice :)

If you want to spend megabucks then I have a Classic Edition cover and cannot praise it enough. They are pricey, but appear very well made, great customer service and knowing that you are supporting a local business as opposed to HalFrauds. I have their fitted indoor cover, but their winter...

So as I am still awaiting to receive my 182 back I thought I would do a little Scotland edit, I cannot tell you how much I loved this trip and how much I bonded with the 197! As I said, the weather was incredible, you would think I was in the South of France during the peak of Summer in some of...

Small update: As it was still on its original dampers I thought it was best these were replaced to tighten everything up. Decided I was going to stick with the Renault Formula so ordered in a full set of Renault Dampers. The rears were no trouble and went in after only an hour or so...

I bought a DAS 6 Pro Plus around 18 months ago and have not looked back since. With some good quality pads and compound/polish I don't see the need for a rotary. Awesome bit of kit.

I think having a build thread/photo album documenting all the works goes a long way. As DynoDan has said, I think it is also very much down to taking time to present your car carefully and thoughtfully when it is time to move on; I am a bit overkill and I am sure many people didn't bother...

My MX5 is actually on coilovers too, I'm running MeisterRs and SuperPro bushes all round- I found the pre-set ride height a little too low for me liking, for a while I kept catching the bottom over speed bumps (the hump like ones) even at a crawling pace. Took it up a little and that has...

Thanks for all the support guys, glad you are enjoying it so far! There have been some updates on the 182... Write up to follow very shortly...

So, fast forward a few months and the 197 has been sleeping whilst I am using the MX5 as my daily. The MX5 had a LOT of rust work taken care of at a significant cost so I decided that I did not want to run it through the winter either. Suddenly I am in the situation where I have two cars...

The Spec is fairly typical. F1 Edition in Nimbus Silver with Recaros, but interestingly, the original owner opted to have the spoiler from the Renault Clio Sport/GT (1.6?) fitted from the factory- it also hasn't got the door stickers on it? I am not sure if they were an option and not...

Hi everyone! So this is the start of my 'thread'. I won't call it a build thread for now as I won't actually be building much (I don't think so anyway), but rather just a collection of my two RenaultSports. My very first post was a review for Steve @RSportsCars, so I shall lift some of that...

Wow, looking great so far- following this with interest!
