Sorry to bring up an old thread but saw your car at the north Weald meet yesterday and looked lovely!
Just wanted to know a little more about running standard seatbelts on these bimarcos? Any pics/fitting info etc?
Cheers
Belts were done with dan @ 519 last year, although that wasn't going to be an issue working at Renault anyway ;)
Good stuff Impey, when is the 197 going. Oh and there's no such thing as a ff on a 172 ;)
Just had a good read through a couple of the stone automotive rs2 threads and that seems a much better option for wanting more power/driveability for daily use. And also half the cost to which is a bonus...
This one is here to stay for a while as we have sold the dci now so this is our main car, hence thinking oem is the more sensible route! The ph1/black 182/200 were all toys along side the dci!
Cheers for the comments guys. Fitted the cat back yozza Friday night and have done about 300 miles in it this weekend. Although it is not overly loud I think I prefered a quieter exhaust! Must be getting old!
Think that makes my mind up though, keep it oem+
The interior of my new cup is the only let down imo, so was contemplating the following....
- 182 interior (if there much/if any weight difference?)
- Bimarco futura's on the standard sliders (how much will they lower the ride height by on standard sliders and can you use normal seatbelts?)
If...
So I've the car 3 days and already bought something for it!
Yozzasport exhaust and decat hopefully being arriving Friday.
A couple of pics from the seller, will be fitting with new mounts and gaskets etc.

Think they do look 100% better on coilovers, so thinking keep it realitively standard with bolt on mods that can easily be reverted to standard. Liking the look of the B14's seem to get very good write ups.
Which route should I take with it?
Go balls out and create something awesome, or save my money and keep it OEM? I know I would love to go down the TB route but just a little worried I would never see the money back?
Are TB's something that can (relatively) easily be removed and sold on, or...
