V6 POoRRRRN!! Oh...hang on...yes im nursing a semi.

Phil your cars twin got a good run out today as well....but mine picked up an injury on the way home! Big Stone + 80mph + Cup roof = dent and chip. Grrrrrrrrrr!

Welcome to CS. Depending on what your Mrs wants from the car, you have the choice of the Full Fat 172 (air con, leather/alcantara, xenons all all the comfy bits) or the Cup which has none of the above but is a bit more focused towards the driving thrills, but thats not to say the Full Fat...

I'd go for Eibach Sportlines. Nice drop and very good springs. I fitted a set to Rob22's MK2 Ph2 1.2 recently and he loves them. PM him for pics. If you are willing to travel round the M25 a bit then i'll gladly fit them for you. PM me if you are interested.

Hahaha! ^^^ So true...

Looks like the start of the Grand National....hope the number of fallers isn't the same as the Grand National mind you!

Recently refurbed Turini's with a higher silver metallic content known as 'Sparkle Silver' so yeah they appear polished. Surprised they are still pretty clean in that pic as they are a bugger to keep clean at the moment with the new pads and discs bedding in! Frost mate i think the final...

Shes loookin luuush mate! Cleans up a treat! That splitter looks quality!

Ahh Sarah!! You are signed up! Good work!

Ding!! I said that thing had Anti Lag and people kinda looked at me with vacant expressions! Knew it had to be that to make THAT much noise.

That'll be mine mate! :D

Im sorry but the pinnacle of the Hot Hatch has been and gone....the Trophy was the top of the tree and its not gonna be beaten. It was the car that finally managed to top the Williams which was the 90's top trump and the 205 Gti which was in the 80's but now this modern obsession with making...

Took the Cup out tonight for the first time in 3 days and backing it out of the cul-de-sac i live in i could hear a knocking noise....yet another sodding knocking noise at that! Interesting to hear that there are so many cases of it as im beginning to suspect its simply a characteristic of the...

Its ok mate...some impatient people on here sometimes!! You won't need to replace the calipers, and to change pads and discs yourself is pretty straightforward. PM me if you want some pointers as to what you need to do.

So Steve, you gonna get him to take you out in it, maybe let him lend you it for a weekend? You could pick up Kelly in it seeing as you two are on first name terms and all....:rasp: ;)

Oh it shocked me as well....i had to make sure i wasn't spotting the black one twice!

I don't have a huge problem with the 197 to be honest...i actually love the looks of it even if im not a fan of its lack of pace...but what is narking me about them is the attitude of some of the owners!! An "im superior" air about them and a really mardy attitude toward the owners of RS's they...

Buy this man a beer someone....he talks sense! Thats exactly what i'd do.

I would LOVE to catch someone doing that....obviously it would be a pain if they were doing it to my car but the reward of beating the living sh*t out of whoever was doing it would do me nicely. Truly do feel your pain mate.

Now i always said i'd not track THE Cup but seeing those pics and being a long time fan of Brands the idea is slowly starting to nag at me! How do you like Paddock Hill Char? Nice but scary combination of G-forces at the bottom i've always thought...

Must be a buy one get one free offer on the 197's.....saw 3 today....all driven by old men! Black one this morning near Ripley...bloke had a beard. Racing Blue one this evening going into Ripley...bloke had grey hair and bi-focals on.....and then another Black one about 5 mins later driven by...

Yeah thats H5, along with a Trophy that is parked in there as well.

There has to be 2 then...or its shared.

Yes it was me who followed you from Victoria Way in Woking all the way out to the Ottershaw roundabout and then gave you a wave when i pulled alongside you....around about 6ish. Im not stalking you...honest....:o;)

I do sometimes wish i could have the luxury but then i just wind the windows down and drive faster....hehe.

No i lost mine ages ago Seb....could have done with them the last time i had a crack in a 197 as well. Ahh well...nevermind. I guess i'll have to put up with my kick ass Cup.

Welcome to the Renaultsport fold mate. Enjoy the car. Oh and if things ever get a bit much for you in terms of any 197 criticism you can always buddy up with Seb.....he's impervious to any 197 knocking and has the correct tinted glasses on. He is also nursing a dented wallet and wounded...

I've just gone for the EBC Green/Brembo HC setup, just without the hoses and it feels much better. I haven't really given them a hard test drive yet but that will come soon!
