the only leather in there is on the edges of the front seats
Then it does say in the specifications "PART LEATHER SEATS" so technically correct. Another Renault rip off!!!
Another poor soul who has had a new gearbox....mine after only 650miles!!!

It will settle down after about 500 miles as it needs to soot up to stop the resonance.
Mine has the polished centre, rear box and tail...
Heres what I think......
Basically the pedal operates a potentiometer (volume control type knob sort of thing) (as its fly by wire) and when you press hard you reach the end of the rotation. Then if you press harder (or turn the volume knob further) after it has reached its end point then...
Keep in there with it....it will settle down after about 500 miles. Needs to soot up to stop the resonance.
I have the quieter system on mine now and even that was still a bit loud but its settled down a treat now and is about the same volume as the original but with all the growl of the...
You cannot go wrong with K-tec.....they supply Vipers and of course their own correctly fitting cat back stainless steel exhaust, which comes in varying flavours........oh and dont forget they give discount to members!!!!

At FCS there were...
Mine was the mk 1 version. I think the only difference is the lack of laquer covering it, and a slightly bigger hose. The body is the same size.
Heres a pic of mine, looks more shiny than it really is.....

Cups can have the ECU remapped so no physical evidence.
Craigy...whats wrong with Superchips?? Mines now 180bhp!! Its a well known phenomenom that Cups push out far more than normal 172s so Superchipped..?????
Fifth Gear
New V6 roadtest...also Evo 8 and WRX STi.
At least according to my tv book!!!
V6 will probably get about 2 mins of coverage and the rest will get the rest of the program.

Why do you think Nick Hill took a while to release his IK kit...His first attempt ran lean @WOT. So he has had to modify the ecu to compensate.
My experience was...... after fitting a Viper...

Sadly it does damage.....well it did on mine.
Not noticable in the day light but shows up when it was in the garage
real bummer as a bird sh*t on it too!!!
Roamer....Its the only safe route to go for 200+
Northampton Motorsports are a good outfit, had my car on their RR and it was almost identical to PE. They are Alpha dealers too, they said those ecus are extemely mapable too.
