There is an ECU upgrade software patch, book it in at Renault.

Good choice;) Plasma for them that Know;)

You should know! If your thinking of 08 plates onward no issues with old box or kangarooing as was fixed. 3yr warranty & breakdown so no worries at all. Cup suspension & recaros are a must & i wouldn't buy without, just look at the 182's without cup sus no one wants them. New...

What you selling?

The driver makes more difference than the car;) Silverstone guy in mk1 fiesta was staying with everything & i mean everything:D

Toyo T1 will melt save your money.

Sell it & buy an exige :D Don't matter how much power or weight you remove, it's a clio! Like mine as is, just need some sticky tyres for tracking ;)

Replace all 4 or don't bother. 2 different compounds of track rubber front & rear:S

I had r888's but now considering Hankook RS2's or Kumho's as seen some very good write ups & value wise much better as i need 17's.

Yes it did take a while :o , no big loss through the winter not having to keep a new car clean. Spent a couple of hours in both cars on & off track. The r26 is a good car but just decided the revy nature of the 197 suited my driving style better. After Silverstone last friday defo...

I was trying to say the wider stance & suspension setup of the 197 more than makes up for the Sach dampers of the Trophy. Having owned a Trophy for 2 yrs (14,000 miles of road & lots of trackdays)& not just had a go in one i can tell the 197 is an excellent setup. Any time mate, hows the 'M'?

Forget Bedford try Donington, Oulton etc proper track. Problem with a CS day think 'egos' would out do 'talent' :rasp:

Thanks for all the comments, glad it didn't turn into the usual slanging match :o It's buzzy at appearing in the dock speeds but rides better, defo calmer place to be. Less squeaks & rattles for sure have a go in one but not just a 10 min test. The more i drive it the more i feel i have...

Whats the latest, think i'm going for a set after reading up on them;) The r888's got trashed at silverstone so nice alternative.

4 or 5 bolt? 5 bolt 197 wheels;)

Do not drain the fluid, bleed it out with fresh fluid. Keep topping up res & don't let it get too low. If you get air in the system ala abs unit big nono!

Well coming from owning a trophy for 2 yrs+ (172 before for 2yrs) the 197 Cup i have now is more than a match for the trophy. Standard no mods or sticky tyres all i can say is 'wow'. The brakes are what the trophy needed from day day one, more feel & masses more stopping power that is...

Anyone used the Bridgestone Potenzas reo70's ? My mates subaura had no probs & little wear all day at Silverstone unlike my contis :cry:

I never remember my camera! Kevin from RS takes some of the best pics i've seen, see for yourselves; http://www.flickr.com/photos/henry03uk/sets/72157614881171048/detail/

You thought is was Sat? There will be others, Donington, Oulton :D

Yes mate take your time on that beast. I lost 2 good mates last yr due to bike accidents, so not an option for me, have full licence as well:o

Well as of today i can honestly say the Trophy is a fond yet distant memory. Anyone who slates the 197 really needs to have a long drive or do a trackday in one. Today the Cup took trackday fun to a new level, out the box with no brake upgrades or sticky tyres it was a revelation.

Several RS's clios & meggys ;)

Would be good to get some feedback on these as 888's in 17's £500+ whereas RS2's £300 ish.

Buy a diesel if you want economy. My trophy averaged mid/high 20's :o

How easy these to fit? Undo clips slide out replace? Anything else?

Thanks for the comments, coming from a Trophy thought is was in for a slating. :quiet:

Not another R'R'R' myth again. After the sales flop of the 26R dought they will get burnt again.

New meg is awesome & modern. The clio looks like a quick front end fix, may just be photos.
