i've recently fitted Sportlines to my 182 which dropped it about 30mm. i daren't go mad and go any lower due to all the speedhumps and generally shitty roads road by me.
i'm happy with the way it looks now tbh. Coilies would just be overkill for me as i dont plan on tracking it
looks gorgeous mate - think my wheels will be going that colour fairly soon.....just need a few more pennies and then i'm set.
Silver & black goes really well together i think
is the photo of the black wheel pre-sportline fitment? i only ask cos i've just fitted sportlines to my non cup packed 182 (identical to yours) but the front on mine looks lower than that?
liking the black wheels though - think i'm gonna do that to mine when i get some more money together
you need to get out more fella!
in no way and at no point have i ever made a personal attack towards any RS200 driver or indeed any driver of any car that frequents this forum. yes i completely agree that the RS200 is a superior car to mine (i haven't said otherwise) so where you get off...
spotted heading North on A470 between Caerphilly & Pontypridd at about 7:25am
couldn't tell if it was a man or woman driving cos they had a bag over their head ;) :rasp:
spotted tonight at about 9pm ish.
Black 172 '53 plate in Merthyr college car park talking to someone in a yellow punto with black wheels.
Arctic 182 passing the fire station. i was at the lights heading the other way
it's a bit of a backward step in the design department if you ask me. the 197 is by far the better looking car (especially the front) and the wheels on the 200 do it no favours whatsoever
197 anyday of the week for me
i've got Toyo T1-Rs on at the minute - they pretty good and represent good value for money although i cant see them lasting as long as the PE2's but only time will tell.
the PE2's were excellent but are quite expensive these days (cheapest i could find was £110 fitted)
i dont track mine but i live near mountain roads so give it some stick now & then. i went for Brembo HC discs. Ferodo DS2500 pads and braided lines with Dot 5.1 fluid. that lot cost me just over £200 about 18 months ago and i'd def recommend them.
the DS2500's do give a tiny bit of squeal here...
most places / products that offer a lifetime guarantee usually only apply it to the first owner. some companies such as Prospeed will transfer the gurantee for a one off payment of £40.00 but you have to let them know if / when you are the new owner.
how much is a new system for the V6...
Wales is God's Country - FACT!
cracking pics mate. especially love the tripodding ones and teh one where you can see the smoke burning from the inside tyre - proper job! ;-)
i didnt think Renault centre caps would fit Turinis that weren't supplied by renault themselves? thought they were different fit / size or something? :S
i might be wrong mind?
looks alot better now
i wouldn't bother with a decat unless you change the rest of it too - pointless otherwise. the manifold is 2.5" bore into the front end of the standard CAT. at the rear of teh cat the pipework is only 1.75" bore.
you could do what i did though. had Prospeed to fit a custom cat back system and...
that's a hell of a lot of wedge though!
going by the figures posted (and taking them all with a pinch of salt especially the OEM ones) you are in effect paying £1,763.00 for the full system for a miniscule 3bhp?!
you'd be a mug to do it! no offence
the 200 is a very good car which looks good from all angles...... except the front!
that black insert makes it look gash! the only colour that rescues it is black cos you dont notice the front so much.
197 is a million times better looking in my book
a bit of a trek for you but i'd recommend Prospeed in Cardiff - did a top job on my 182 (even modified the CAT to increase airflow) and the fitment is perfect cos Charlie is a perfectionist and an all round top bloke!
sorry but that 200 looks f-ugly! that front bumper effort is terrible with the black insert. 197 is miles better looking
some nice pics though - really like the silver 172 with anthracite turinis
