Good looking motor that! Not usually a fan of the stuck on tat either

not a 200..........and my 197 was running coilovers, but, Winning imo

True, from here I still cant get over that join, horrific imo However, from here it looks 'ok' Still, its no looker compared to this, cohesive ftw and 200 will never look this good

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. Going against the grain I feel the RS caps are a bit tacky if i'm honest, no need. Good choice on the rest of the spec though, it'll be a peach i'm sure :)

They seem to settle with age. When new they do have a forward rake, but for the rear end settles over time. If you like O.E, get some eibach prolines on there. No real drop, but will give it that forward bias again,

looks well in black imo!

Yeah they are the small speakers :)

How do. Just purchased a nice Samsung home cinema kit. What are you guys doing with the front/rear speakers? Optimum mounting should be at ear level, so I presume I need some stands? I was looking at something like these (maybe)...

R27 with Silver wheels = fail. O.E or slightly darker imo

Cheers :) Inlets were taken off, prepared, then painted with high temp silver. Makes all the difference imo It was a labour of love, BG was only supposed to be a cheap car but spent a fortune on it lol.

Last one, Sparkle sparkle, The original its party piece, Loved that car :)

Its deffo had its full belt kit like?

You've owned it for 4 years so who did the belts last?

Lovely that, albi is so under rated. Used to love mine under petrol station lights, always looks a different colour :)

Black is the best phase 1 colour imo!

My 197 cut out, no lights, nothing. Turned out the fuel pump died..... However that's not unheard of on the mk3. when did you last have the belts done etc???

Right results Distance 368.5M Fuel used 12.1G Average 30.1 MPG Average 32.9 MPH So there we go. Thats slightly less than normal as I'm doing lots of 5 mile round trips moving gear into new pad lol

Not tried the spax, but I rated the b14 very highly. That's where my money would go everytime.

should have gone to Birchdown!

Fair price if the belts are done properly, hope they have Renault belt experience as its very easy to get the timing wrong. Although it'll run, it'll be down on power. I probably would have bought the car without the belts done, then took it to a specialist on here for piece of mind :)

Re: Decision time. Help required... Brown ;)

and tensioners/pulleys? Thats the important bit

Nipple ring................. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ;) Look forward to seeing how she looks :)

WTF, unless its being done for free? Cambelt aux belt and relevent pulleys will set you back 500 or so that MUST be done every 5 years/72k. Not just belts as its usually the pulleys that fail. Dephaser is up to you, but for just that part alone its another £170 iirc

No, 200 only You can make it work in 197 by putting in 200 clocks, so maybe that R27 had a clock change? ;)

Spacers are pony, no need for them in any way 197 build is reasonable imo. They might be the odd faint rattle, but nothing to really get ya kickers in a twist Buzzy on the motorway, needs a 7th lol! Main things, crunchy gear box, esp 3rd/4th/5th try this above 5000 rpm, front brakes bind...

Ah right, that gives me something to go at! I presumed new line = new wiring to the house, which I dont need. :)

Moving into a new house in the next week, and have an existing line fitted. Nobody knows who it was with previously, however it has a Openreach master. On plugging a phone in, i have a tone, but on entering a few digits, I get 'number not reconised, please try again message.......... So, I...
