Found a video of my car at Anglesey last week. The car sorely needs a diff (or I need more tuition) because I had to rely on left foot braking to keep the front in check coming onto and going past the pit straight. The 182 (iirc) which was filming the video had very good brakes!

Oh have you just advertised through that company/site? I thought it was sold on. The price came as a shock but then I thought, how many of these will ever be openly for sale. And with the upgrades too. Good buy for someone :D

Chavvy. As. f**k. I jest. I imagine it's an improvement over standard? Only saying that as I've never heard a particularly noteworthy one of these on the road. I do love the boost noise you can hear through the revs :smiley:

Bloody epic. Is this gone now?

Hi and welcome. Do you have any pictures of the 200? What's the spec?

The pure sound Clio r3 video on YouTube never gets old. The noise is hilarious.

Do you have a build thread? A friend is looking at a 135 next week and your changes sound exactly like what he has planned

Not sure if you want my opinion as I've only properly tracked a 197. I've had a go of a 172 on track but that wasn't mine so I didn't go hell for leather. They weigh more than the mk2, but I don't notice it once it's moving. The flatspot is a pain in the Arse when first pulling off but again...

Iirc, racing blue is the rarest colour (excluding the White one) on the r27s. But rb and White wheels does not a limited edition make.

A quick eBay says £4-5k Early, sheddy, poverty spec 197s are creeping below £3k at the moment so a decent, well looked after cup should be able to fetch £4K upwards.

My crazy ex used to rant and rave about this. Saying you sleep worse, you get ill blah blah blah. I tried sleeping with my phone away from me for a while and noticed no difference.

That. That's all you need

Hi and welcome. Re the headlights, have a look on 197.net A guy is making a proper, OEM looking hid unit with intergrated drls and drl indicators. If/when they're made, they'll make a cracking upgrade to a 200t

Isn't the Meg 250 onwards forged from factory? I'd have thought that forged internals would stand up to the constant use longer than regular parts?

With people who say the regular phones are too small and the plus ones are just right... Are the pluses your only device? I see the appeal of the plus if you don't have a MacBook/iPad, but to have a massive phone and an iPad seems unnecessary to me. Same as having an iPad mini. Too big to be...

I may be worth finding a local member who does a bit of detailing and throwing them some beer money

As above. Read the machine polishing stickies on here too. I think the das6 pro works out around £105 with the Cs discount on clean your car

Hi and welcome. I'd advise against modifying it due to your age and your desire to sell it soonish. If you really must change anything, I'd get the plastic bump strips and spoiler (if it has one) colour coded to the car. It'll neaten it up a bit.

If you want a standard looking Clio with a 1.6t, buy a 200t But seriously, buy a 1*2 and fit 1.2 body panels. It'll be so much easier

I love that but I don't know why. I normally hate those wheels on mk3s. Are they the same ones that everyone else fits? It can't just be the larger profile tyre making them look different/better. It does look amazing though I bet you're chuffed. A slight drop would make that look bang on

I have no idea what I was trying to say there. Pics of sexy anyway?

Proper job! I can't wait to see this out and about. Please don't store those recaros! They're ace!

Because having to click to view thumbnails is an inconvenience, and nobody likes a big all of text with some small images at the bottom, here's how to upload full size pictures using the 'upload an image' button Click 'upload an image' Choose which image you want and wait for it to load into...

The 197 is starting to take a back seat to daily duties so is being kept for weekends and a few track days a year. I need to get more money to get a dedicated daily to keep the 197 for fun

Hi and welcome. That looks ace. If you didn't know, that looks like a 182 'full fat' in forum speak. Which means it's a standard 182 with both cup packs fitted; the spoiler and splitter pack and the stiffer cup chassis pack. Find a local detailer and they'll be able to wet sand and polish up...

No

Efi Rstuning There's someone down south that I can't remember. Sjm? Kt... Oh.

The mk3s do handle better out of the box And feel more planted because of the size of them and the reworked suspension (do 182s have perfohubs up front) But I've been out in 182s with just a set of coilovers and the way they felt and went round corners was astonishing. I genuinely felt one was...

Chav Didn't you just get a fiesta st? I do appreciate vxrs and that looks ace. It's nice to see a standard un-badman'd example.

Next time I see the metrology guy who comes into our work I'll see if he'd do it as a foreigner for you. What is the item?
