As per post title. The obvious changes I can see are the inlet manifold is very smooth, by looking at the cutaway from the British Motorshow, and they have probably altered the map on the ecu against the 182. Is the 197 producing 158 lb/ft of torque now?

Saw a red one as well today on the road.

I have to say its the franchised dealers that sound like they are fucked up. My local dealer Renault Ilford (owned by renault) service was s**t 3 years ago when I purchased my dynamique brand new from there. Since giving them another chance, my 182 has had no probs apart from self destructing...

I never really put more than £20 in at any one time due to not wanting to weigh the car down too much, you never know when youre going to need the weight advantage lol! Only fill it up if im on a long motorway cruise.

Saw a red 197 on the road for the first time yesterday in Dagenham! Looked very nice.

Can you change the colour of the centres on the original 182 wheels as well, just leaving the Renault badge in the chrome finish?

TUV approval anyone? Send them back they should sort you a replacement as this is a highly dangerous failure.

I believe, the latest ferraris and lambos actually do have these in the exhaust to meet relavant noise regulations.

Get a Stack Digital Dash from Demon Tweeks, bout 1k mark though and you will probably need a few accessorys.

some have said it loses you torque.

Mine split, the "senior technician" said no probs straight away. I was shocked, the service from my local renault dealer has improved significantly since the last time Ive had to use them.

I had the same lexus lights on my 52 plate dynamique all those years ago. They looked very smart at the time though as only select cars had lex lights available for them at the time. Now every shitter has them on :-(

Think these will look okay in my 182 with the alu style knob and steering wheel insert?

Which clios came with carbon silver dash inserts? The reason I ask is that my standard ones on my 182 have flaked slightly and I have just purchased some off ebay. I was under the assumption that all RS models came with just a brushed aluminium finish...

^^^^ It pays to be open mnded in life mate, you never know you might just like it!

^^^ Yep just do it, I did the same when I took my 182 out for a test drive, the sales assistant was holding her breath and saying nothing!

No pics of the silver one that was there? I was under the impression that there were reverse wings underneath the car, but looking underneath all they have done is made it flat as possible to accelerate the air through the diffuser. Very nice touch and less drag at high speeds.

^^^^^^ HAHa Converted! They are sexy though, just not as hardcore!

Only cause it aint turboed though! Look at the old GTT, get like 30bhp from a £20 bleed valve. Mite not last that long though with out intercooler strapping and the like, but still you get the idea. Would love to race a VXR or ST in this searing 30 degree plus heat LOL

With a little bit of rinsing now and again, I pleasantly surprised to see my 182 delivering 80-100 miles for a tenner. These cars are awesome!

Looks absolutely pants!

Get it done under warranty, my new steering wheel is on order from Renault atm.

Even though I have CC, I dont even bother with it. Even down here in London with the 35 degree+ temperature. Love the breezy holiday feel! Thank god the seats arent full leather. What I dont get is this supposed heat reflecting windscreen, I still cant touch the bloody steering wheel it...

Eray bring me in on this, give me a text next time the 1/4 mile thing is happening!

Careful you dont miss the sides and fall in!

Doubt it will matter mate as the ecu has already been programmed in a certain way. Will probably improve overall as the ecu will have been designed for the breathing mods. Still debating between remap and Grp N?

I was under the impression that those strut braces with adjusters were supposed to be pants, as the structural integrity is compromised. Anyone clarify?

I dont understand why everyone seems to have it in for the car. Its a new model, your one is the old one now, get over it! Think the ad is pretty good imo.

^^^ Mabye its weight reduction?

Best is 43mpg constant 70-80 on motorway. Worst is 18.8 when given a constant lead right foot stop starting racing with my friend in his CTR for half hour. Quickest way to blow a tenner on juice!
