the engine differences between 197 and 200 read really well on paper but in reality I never noticed much difference, but the chassis made a difference I put 200 cup dampers on my 197 R27 and there was a massive difference id liked to have done the steering rack too. Akrapovic evolution exhaust...

ive had every RS clio from a ph1 172 to a mk4 220 trophy (excluding a V6) and my thoughts are, out of the full range imo the mk3 197/200 is the best pure drivers car, it has the perfect mix of being old skool hot hatch with modern traits. people regularly say the 197/200 feels too grown up and...

is it running the same lower arms on both sides? not extra castor on one side and pre cup on the other? have a look at the angle the lower ball joints are coming out from the arm, if you look at the car from side on, if it has extra castor the wheel will sit closer to the front bumper rather...

they are usually dying or dead lol

na switches all need to come apart then cut out the old bulb and solder in the new ones, bit fiddly! but ive never done it before so was just taking my time

get the soldering iron out!

started attacking the interior switches and swapping them over to white LED's before... middle... After... done the central locking and rear heated screen button too.. need to go back to the scrappies and get a set of dynamique dials with the trip computer and the stalk with the button to...

its condensation in the plastic rocker cover, nothing to worry about and if you take it to a garage you will end up paying for an un needed head gasket as ive heard plenty do before lol

i don't have RS monitor yet so cant adjust the settings, ive just got normal, sport and race and cant customise them

usually loads at the scrappies, I got 4 full kits (coolers and the 3x pipes) for £20 each a few months back and sold them on ebay

mapped 80's are the sweet spot imo! so if its a 65 then an intercooler and 80/100 injectors are the way to go!

I find sport a bit useless and drive in race 90% of the time and normal 10% of the time. reason being if I want to just cruise about in auto then normal mode is just fine, if I want full control over the gearbox and the fastest changes and best noises then race is perfect, sport sits oddly in...

there's a name I've not seen in a while! you still got yours?!

went back to the scrappies today and got the matching doorcards for the dash strips and some chrome dynamique interior handles, just waiting on dave getting back to me about the RS seats and ill pick them up too!

lambda after cat wont affect running just give you a warning light as far as I know it will be the pre cat one if its a lambda causing the issue which would be my next port of call since you have done the coils (common on this engine) and the plugs since it hasn't been serviced

ive started a new piggy bank for that rs16 kit, the bilsteins, the spacers and the black turinis! that looks epic

rs seats go for too much money haha im looking for a pair of cheap 172 cup or dynamique seats! its a £200 van!

Got a new Pioneer Bluetooth head unit at black Friday for it for £50 from halfords, wired in the mic up on the pillar at the sun visor where its out the road. Bluetooth calling is better in the van than it is in the 220 trophy now!! also had to go to the scrappies for 2x new front speakers as...

the new RS performance one looks cool and I assume covered under warranty?!

I thought about a remap but a bit worried about the temperatures, mine gets HOT in the summer I can only imagine what it would be like with more boost and an intercooler blocking the radiator!

financial suicide, which is what generally makes it a fun thing to do lol!! say you spend £20k and in 5 years its worth £7k, your not really any worse off than if you bought a brand new car which makes it seem a little less daunting HOWEVER, these projects 60-70% of the time get abandoned half...

I like that for a track car! however what has happened to CS when this is acceptable, in 2010 you would have been banned!

Welcome to the top of the pyramid ?

at least half of my clios have all had faulty door or boot switches so if you unlock it, open boot or a door it will auto lock 30 seconds later and when you close the boot lock it lol, pull the door from the top its flimsy enough to get a long wire in to press the unlock button on the dash or...

while I still say its massively convenient to have a manual licence, not sure I would go back to a manual for my personal car!

Fair play! We use 1.2 16v Dynamiques, about to move over to 0.9 TCE's since the 1.2 has now been discontinued. be interesting to see how the clutch packs gets on as the miles gets up, we change the cars at about 140k/3yrs usually just as they are starting to need a clutch

im looking for a set of 15s for cheap tyres but let me have a play with photoshop and see how they look! might actually be quite smart

i was originally looking for non RS seats as they are cheap cheap cheap but id take 172/182 ones if there going cheap!! PM me a price and ill see if I can justify them ?

nothing much new happened, took her for an MOT to see what needed done next and it sailed through with not a single advisory! so now on the lookout for a nice set of 15" wheels for it, it needs new dampers at the front as they are past it so need to work out if i want to just put a standard pair...

Issues and a VERY understanding Mrs??? ?
