@Rich-D Love a good nova Was that an o.e colour for an SR? Never seen it before?

Rubbish Any idea on cause? Poor stage 1 map maybe?

And the haldex unit.....

They are brilliant If I ever got a mk2 again it would be the first mod

Also had the urge for one of these Bet there are no standard ones around now. They could be made daft quick, just had chocolate gearboxes :-(

Back in the day i had a desire to own one of these, which ended up in me having one of these, Talking 2003 here, that thing was an absolute weapon in a straight line One of the best cars ive ever had :(

Lovely I had a akrapovic on my 197 cup I wanted to mod the tailpipe as I had a 200 diffuser but was never a fan of the looks of it Also I'm gay and thought it was a little bit too loud for me. Does sound well though and when I swapped it back the car felt flat as fook!

Cheers :) They were new from Renault Can't beat a nice cup. I've been hankering after another one as a toy lately. Mondial blue in the sun with fresh silver turinis is an awesome combo

I re did mine Then when you've done the engine do the calipers The get some new ones of these (makes all the difference) Should be about right then

Get some b14's on it Those spax are poor quality

Search snappy :-)

Intermittent cracking sounds like a damp issue, this could be the cable damaged or joint. If they are putting a new cable in, happy days

Love it

Just get something off the shelf by dahua or hikvision, saves the messing about

No the physical turrets in the newer cars are smaller I believe, so older 200/197 top mounts won't fit a newer car Not sure of the actual change over date late 2009 rings a bell

bob on, nothing like a deep clean to make it "yours" Snappy wheel next?

tip top, looks nice and unmolested Bosh some sportliness on it, i rate them, you wont lose the ride quality

Could be either really The boot button is common for water ingress however this usually shows itself as the boot randomly popping open at any time, The button can be easily stripped down mind so that would be where I'd start. I'm also sure you can open the boot from inside I *think*...

Don't spray it,it'll chip and go scabby I just used autoglym bumper black Works really well, just needs a monthly top up

Dephaser a non service item, as in its not on renaults schedule for replacement Anyway they are noisey when warm, not cold, and the noise tends to phase out above 1800rpm. I've not heard of any dephaser issues on the mk3 (yet)

I had an Albi 197 and it never photos well. In the flesh it's awesome, can look really different in changing light conditions :)

It's cup packed They didn't make a Albi blue cup, only racing.

Nice car I'm looking at springs maybe, not sure if the H&R's are a little too low for factory dampers, i was thinking eibach possibly. (i'd probably get some B14's but i hardly use the car as it i) Also going to de chrome the exhaust trim, not a fan.

Badly needs cupped 182 alloys, I've never thought silver works with rb Top Nick though! I've also never got the mini thing, my mrs has an r56 and its handling is weird , seems to tram line like f**k, oh and it rattles as bad as any Clio I've had :(

Too low, throw that down a B road and it won't handle it at all. Mine was lowered on kw'sand it still rubbed when in big dips/undulations. I reckon mine was 10-15 mm higher than that

flol! Ill have a word with a lad at work, hes got a 200t Trophy in white, something a bit different!

No chance on a free gearbox, you *may* get a good will contribution, but on a 197, i doubt it. I just bought a replacement for mine, and got a specialist to swap it over. They are a weak point, but I had 2 197's and probably covered around 80k in them. A test drive should weed a bad one out, if...

I do hanker after it even now, one of the best cars I've owned tbh!

She does! Can't remember her going to Chester though (maybe she snook it out?!)

I'll keep an eye on this, not far from me in Whitchurch town!
