Keep your eyes open when having you picture taken :rasp: Car looks nice. You have to really work to get a black that glossy.

Can you feel the extra weight when you change direction?

LOL. So how much downforce does the diffuser on your FRS give, coupled with the mahoosive spoiler on the roof ;). In all seriousness, had a good look round an FRS yesterday and it did look the dogs. 300% chairs was conservative. I should add, that an FRS IS my next car.

LOL :lolup:

Nimbus is the best colour. Not into the shiny exhaust unless i was going for a full Milltek. Did you know that the shiny exhaust pipes interfere with the 40KG of downforce produced by the diffuser ;):evil:

If this helps, my wife absolutely hated my CTR whereas she only dislikes my 197 :rasp:

My mum has a 1.4 mk3 clio (not sure what model it is) and the ride in the 197 is definately firmer. What I noticed driving my mum's car is that although it corners well, it feels tall and wallowy. It feels like you are sitting on, rather than in the car. The 197 feels much more connected to...

+1 ^^

I can't get over 25mpg. The ride is great on standard suspention. The standard setup is better for road driving, the cup is better for the track.

Black doesn't show of the lines as well as other colours imo. You must be a masochist looking at all the 197s out there. Seriously, when do you think you will get yours?

Lovely to see a 15 year old car looking so good :cool:. You even have the cliosport sticker level.

You know it :evil:. Now stop fcuking around and get the car.

Evenings and weekends mate :cool:

Sort it out then ;)

I think he means the front end when the 197 is behind you. BTW Roy, I say a FRS in blue yesterday with 2 drainpipes for exhausts :S. I think it was lowered as well as the bottom of the frony splitter had banged on something

Love the car. The black and orange (if that is the right name for orange) go really well together. Don't like the rear diffuser for the 225. Good job you didn't get it.

When a 197 is behind you, the flared front wings make it seem huge. Think what it must be like in a V6 :D

WOW, that is low mileage. Shame you can't enjoy the car more. Good luck with the op.

Driving home with the family and had to go 2 junctions on the M1. As I leave the slip road and move over to the fast lane, a beautifully modded (one of the most tasteful jobs I've seen) mkIV golf goes past. They are well impressed with my 197 (and before you comment, this is not some chavvy...

Did anyone else look at the title of this thread and think the OP was talking about Liquid Yellow (the colour) rather than yellow liquid?

Best looking ph1 172s I have seen in a while. Love the black wheels. Did I spot a tow bar there?

I think you need to insert the key in the slot in the dashboard to override it.

Already had one of those :D

1. 197 2. V6 3. ph1 172 4. 200 5. 182

The lack of interest is probably down to the economy rather than your car. As there are so few 197s on the road compared to say 182s, I reckon the price will stay firmer for longer. Try finding a better hot hatch for £8k.

Even more reason to keep your 200!!!!

Absolutely lush (love the Recaros) but at £23k for a second hand car, there are a lot of other cars you could have for the same money. This deal will be your car + £8-9k

The chrysler engines were IIRC

Good pics from an iphone. Agree with the others that lowering it a bit will make it look nicer and will get rid of the wallowy feel that non-sports have. Nice car though.
