I have an R27 and love it, have driven a civic type r and went for the clio instead, straight line the Civic has it (just) but the 197 was just much better to drive around the B roads.
I think it will be a wise swap.
Is this yours: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/697897.htm
It looks very smart...
are you sure your not just driving it faster now you have your banging tunes? :rasp:
But it will be a bit because of the weight but i wouldn't have thought it would be as much as 5mpg
yeah does seem a bit high you could have this if you didn't have to trade in your car:

Only slightly more miles but newer and obviously a trophy so a better car/spec
That foam lance is meant to be used with just the hose yes.
The ones that you may be thinking of are these:http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-lance-various-fittings/prod_371.html
They are on youtube and produce loads of foam
Have you got the mix on full? As the Gilmours are...
I use the Meguiars one, and have been for the past 2 years, my first one lasted just over a year using it once a week, so they are well worth the 10 quid.
I can't comment on any other makes though as that is the only one i have had but i can recommend it.
I am not sure about synthetic lambswool...
I saw a trophy yesterday on the A453 coming the other way.
And this morning i saw a 172 cup you came past me on the A453 and then i tagged along behind you before i had to turn of.
Both of these i was in my RB 197 F1
Either of you on here?:D
I paid for mine in cash, but i would say that as you have a 172 already i wouldn't pay to much for the 197 as it is definitly a better build quality but that is about it.
But if you want one i would say make sure it has the cup chassis and that it is RB
Haha, when you first saw that car, you must have made skids in your pants:o
I bet you nearlly **** yourself lol
Does sound very nice though, bouncing of the limiter a bit too much?
Yeah lets do some Not Norm "charity" events lol.
But seriously i think you should stick with it.
When you think what you have spent already whats another 2k lol (I can't believe i said that, but it is true)
Then you would have the fastest clio in the world.
Obviously only one person can say that...
So are you defo selling up?
It will be a great shame if you don't decide to keep it.
All that time and effort (and money) and you won't break the 10sec yourself?
Oh s**t mate bad news.
Sound like it ain't gonna be cheap for any of those options:(
I say make it completely bullet proof this time round for when you reach the magic 500hp so it doesn't go bang again.
I hope you sort it out with out doing too much damage to your pocket:o
That blue one nearest the camera i am sure is called Jase, hence the number plate and he is the original person that set up 197.net.
And i think he has had it lowered and 25mm spacers, but don't quote me on it.:o
And i have to say it 197's look awesome, such a mean looking small(ish) car:rasp:
Wow that really looked like it needed claying looking at that bar.
Still pretty good results considering what was done.
Godd work, and the 197 hardly looks neglected;)
How did you copy that image up and how did you blur some of it?
I have the same as you for the internet protocol. But i don't have as many things in the "This connection uses the following items" part
The ipconfig/all results were:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . JoeLaptop
Primary Dns suffix . . . (Blank, there is nothing there)
Node Type . . . Uknown
IP routing enabled . . . No
WINS Proxy Enabled . . . No
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection...
I have done this and it was set to stop. It doesn't seem to have fixed the problem though.
Thanks guys for all the above ideas i am trying to work my way through them now. :D
