Agree. Just noticed it has colour coded washer blanks? 182 cups dont have them as standard. I think if i had a RB instead of a blackGold last summer, i'd still have a 182. Stunning with the stripes :) Also is that Llandudno?
Why would i be jealous of them 'bling' 19's? :S If i wanted something else i'd probably opt for some 18" Meggy trophy alloys. Much nicer. The rest of the car is supurb.
Its only spring rates etc. Its not a major difference like the 172 cup was. That had a decent weight reduction, wider track different caster angles etc. The 197 cup has lower and stiffer suspension. Thats it. 20kg is nothing imo, what, half a tank of fuel?
Good review. Although it makes me laugh how they all love the 197 now. When it first came out it was too refined, bit gutless etc. Although this was a cup review, the drivetrain is exactly the same :S
I basically (iirc) just bent the lip back with some mole grips. Didnt look pretty, but then it doesnt have to ;) Fred had took an angle grider to his, as have some other, and ground alot of the mount away. Mine was fine as i removed the bumper to reclip in the bottom grill. No issues with...
It is too low in that its fowling the car.
That was mine. I majorly hacked away at the arch liner. I then bent the lip off the bumper bracket off each side. It still scrubbed in dips still (with new tyres fitted). If you think its dangerous raise it, its that simple really. I covered...
How well does that car look in your edit??!!!P refer them wheels to the optional speedlines tbh. Also looks better with the black (xenon in this case) light clusers. Breaks up the white nicely, and makes it look a bit meaner imo
.........too low. It can be cut away with an angle grinder, but if you think thats harsh, simply raise it ;) By the way, they are TUV approved only with a 30mm lowering, not how they came out the box!!!!.
Dont think it is so hard. My mate steve (sbv116) fitted a set before xmas out of an evo. He purchased the clio fitting kit from recaro, used the Renault sliders (like the aftermarket Trendlines i had in my Cup) Apparently only a couple of holes need modding in order to fit? The evo seats are...
News to me? Last time i looked it had a stated output of 194 hp? And even if it doesnt make that, neither did the 182 ;)
As stated before i've had a standard 182 and 197 side by side (mate driving said 197) and there really is nothing in it.
