I've got a Meglio and I had some cooling issues as they had used the original 197 set up. Seems fine on the Meg radiator/fan and aftermarket temperature sensor.
It's got a 250 Turbo and was mapped to 286bhp on the standard injectors, it's since had 630's fitted and running 282bhp (I opted to...
The motor on the fan currently on my 197 sounds ropey. Looking on ebay it seems that a fan from any clio of that era will fit. Is that correct?
Cheers.
The clio went to RS Tuning a couple of weeks ago for injectors and a map. Paul was very good and highlighted a few cooling issues with the car which are being sorted.
It made 247BHP with the standard 225/250 set up and before fitting the injectors Paul had that up to 286BHP. The 630 injectors...
It made 282bhp with the 630 injectors. To be fair it made 285bhp without the injectors so the map on it is quite conservative.
It was never about chasing numbers, it was about making something I could handle on track.
Paul pointed out a few issues with cooling and I’ll get them sorted, do a...
I don’t use my 197 Turbo much but it is booked in for injectors and remap tomorrow so I thought I’d bring it out of storage and give it a wipe down.
Driving home it didn’t feel right and the engine temperature seemed lower than usual (it has a digital read out).
Under acceleration it seemed to...
Thanks for the help with the brakes George! I have got everything fitted along with some matt black Laguna wheels with NS2R's on them. I read the reviews on the tyres but thought I'd give them a go. It's ready for a remap now.
That must be 9 years ago? You had an exclusive and we went for a drive out with Daz (think that was his name)? Time flies!
I drive a Navara daily and I've put the Boxster away for the Winter. Plan is to sort a few little jobs out on the Clio and get it on track.
I'm just looking a pads, do...
After 7 years away from Clio's I bought this 197 Turbo a week ago.
It needs a few bits sorting.
-Remap and 630 injectors.
-Brake pads, braided lines and maybe a refurb of the calipers.
-Interior tidying up.
-Track wheels/tyres.
-Suspension.
Spec.
-Low mileage megane 225 engine/gearbox.
-250...
I couldn't believe the condition, considering it's 17 years old. But it has only done 2k a year.
It's fast enough to be fun to drive and they do handle very well. But you're right, the Navara would probably keep up on the motorway once rolling.
I have had this over a year now.
I wasn't looking for a Boxster but I saw the advert and it was local, the right price, low miles and in "very good" condition. When I went to see it the only surprise was the condition, it was pretty much perfect inside and out. A couple of the oil services had...
They do seem to have gone up in value this year.

Thanks for the detailed post Paris.
I bought mine on condition over engine/spec. I drove all variants 90bhp/115bhp/133bhp and felt that the MX5 was not really about power. The 90bhp still manages to put a smile on your face in the twistys.
I did not want one that had been repaired/welded etc...
I found it difficult to put a price on it. Plenty advertised for £4k+ in worse condition and more miles. I'll be honest, there hasn't been a great deal of interest in it. Not the best time to be selling a soft top.....
Not done much to my MX5 and I have only managed to cover 600 miles this summer, she ticked on to 47k yesterday.
Changed the oil/filters and managed to find some standard wheels.
Had them powdercoated and bought some new nuts.
Sprayed the centre caps and had some custom badges made to replace...
